To be fair, there has never been an issue prior to this which is good. I did message them back and write "No, I didn't order a box of Mint Brownie. My invoice says Mint and when I go to my order online it links back to Mint Chocolate Creme, not Mint Brownie." A different rep responded with this, errors included: "Sorry for…

I'm a little annoyed with the customer service of Built bars. I ordered a box of Mint and a box of Salted Caramel which led to getting six free Blueberry Cheesecake bars and four free Mint Brownie bars. They sent me a full box of Mint Brownie in addition to the free bars instead of the regular Mint ones I ordered. I…

100% agree with this. OP, you already know you want to make improvements so keep going! Please don't become unmotivated because someone is trying to bait you. I read the title of your post then the first line and I already knew this was a person trying to BS you. "Oh you're very out of shape, but if you pay us $$$ we'll…

That's a pretty good marketing strategy to counter the Beyond Meat burger especially after they recently announced an improved product. If anything most people would chuckle about it but at least it would get their attention. I can see the kinds of people who get irrationally irate by vegetarians and vegans buying this.

How long has it been? It may be a couple of weeks before you see a loss on the scale. If it's been months then you're most likely eating more than you think. Do you use a food scale?

I'm so jealous! They didn't ship my order until yesterday but at least it should be arriving on Monday.

I just looked these up. I'm so tempted to get the Cold Brew and the Salted Almond flavors.

Fitbit and MFP syncing? Maybe it depends on the device because my Fitbit is syncing fine and hasn't stopped.

That's the one thing I dislike about Bobo's products. The products always looked interesting so I eventually gave in and purchased the Stuff'd Chocolate Almond Butter Oat bar. It's too dry since it's barely filled and the macros just aren't worth it to me. I was happy to see they started doing bites but I'm still on the…

I usually just drink black coffee and water aside from making protein shakes but lately for the summer I've been craving a sweet drink when I eat popcorn. I picked up a few different kinds of water enhancers and the only one I tried so far is Stur Naturally Skinny in Black Cherry; it is exactly what I was craving. I almost…

It says the filling is vanilla buttercream. I googled the ingredients and this is what the filling is: Vanilla Flavored Buttercreme Filling: Sugar, Vegetable Shortening (Palm Oil, Canola Oil, Mono and Diglycerides), Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Contains 2% or less of: Corn Starch, Artificial Flavor, Guar Gum, Salt,…

So I got to try all four flavors of these yesterday: I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I much prefer the texture of these to their Cake Bites which were a bit too chewy for my liking. These are a lot smoother inside. I also like the ingredients in them more than the Cake Bites. They're perfect for when you want an…

If you logged your jog even though you already have your Fitbit synced to MFP, it's taking away calories since you'd be double dipping otherwise. If you remove the manual entry for jogging, you should see your calories readjust. Also, keep in mind that whatever Fitbit tells you that you burned for that jog is not the…

I watched that video earlier today and there are some things he says that are honestly just wrong. At one point he says that eating 4000 to 5000 calories is more than double what a woman should eat. Another time he said she should be eating one-third of that. He cited low calorie numbers for women multiple times in that…

There's a few things. First is that the 701 calories you burned during swimming according to Fitbit includes your BMR. That means the total calorie burn is what you would have burned at that time just by lying around added to the additional calories you burned by swimming. So say you burned that 701 calories swimming for…

I just got the PB flavor in my RippedKit box this month, so I'll post about it here after I try it. I do like the packaging and the fact that the bar is wide and flat instead of bulky. I really like the Amino Energy Cafe Series in Vanilla Latte and Mocha Cappuccino, so I wonder if this will taste the same just with the…

Yes! These came out about a year ago and when they did I went on a hunt to find them. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of them since many pistachio flavored things taste too artificial. In my opinion, they're the best tasting Oreo thin as the recently released Latte ones were a disappointment for me.

More information is needed here. Depending on your current weight, two pounds in a month may be a good rate of loss. Also, you're doing keto but are you counting calories? Keto or not, you still have to be in a calorie deficit. Judging by your rate of loss you're at a deficit of approximately 250 calories per day on…

I think a better title for this post would be "What DOESN'T cause fluctuations on the scale?" The human body is quite finicky! * "Oh, you're starting to exercise now? Let's hold water for muscle repair." * "Hmm, you had more sodium than usual today. It's water holding time!" * "More carbs than usual today? Yeah, I should…

I got tired of logging but it wasn't until I was over two years into maintenance. Since you've only been at this for six weeks, I'm thinking part of your frustration is that you feel like you haven't seen changes in your body despite losing 4kg. If you had more visual results, I think you'd feel a lot more motivated and…

There's new Built Bar flavors again! I thought Banana was okay, I liked Mocha enough to buy a box, and I thought the Cinnamon was better than expected so I'm still hopeful for these. Mint is one of my favorite Built Bar flavors so I'm curious to see how the Mint Brownie differs. I'm thinking they added mint flavor to their…

Yes but how much lower you should eat depends on multiple factors.

Parabens are preservatives and there is always fear-mongering going on in the consumer world. Research has shown that parabens are also in ~90% of common grocery items so even if people avoid them in cosmetics they may still be consuming parabens. People have tried to link it to changes in estrogen levels and breast cancer…

A lot of people enjoy Fitness Blender, HASfit, and Popsugar on Youtube. I can't speak for the other two but Fitness Blender has a lot of cardio/HIIT style routines that are 15 to 30 minutes.

You can lose weight because you have been for the past month. You did things this week that cause water retention; taking HIIT classes at the gym and eating out for a meal. New exercise routines can cause people to hold onto water weight due to muscle repair and take out food usually is high in sodium which can also cause…

I actually started on Tuesday! I plan on doing the Extreme real time videos when I'm done.

I'm glad you're going to get another opinion, OP! Healthcare in America is ridiculously expensive so it annoys me when I hear about stories like this where a doctor just says "Oh, diarrhea every day? No issue there! You're a runner after all!" What kind of nonsense is that? A loose stool every once in a while, sure, but…

I just looked these up. Apparently they were released a while back and discontinued which may be why they were found at the Dollar Tree. Many people had the same sentiments as you about the taste. What a shame because it seems like that could have been a good product with some tweaking. I actually like the Sunniva(Kitu)…

Not sure; I've never tried them because the nutritional facts kind of turned me off. Just like Lenny and Larry cookies, I couldn't see myself just eating half of a rice krispie treat at a time, so I just passed up on it. I also didn't think 280 calories for 15 grams of protein was the best trade off. The Promix ones are…

How old are you?
