These sound great

Thank you! It was such a weird moment.

I tried it when they were piloting it a couple of years ago. I thought it was surprisingly tasty.

I'm down 110 pounds from my heaviest and I was really not mentally prepared. I still have a lot left to lose, about 30 pounds. I grew up being mocked a lot for being fat, so now, in general, I avoid making contact with strangers when I am walking around and if someone whistles, my first thought is that they are making fun…

Great work. Way to stick with it!

Thank you for the recommendation! I will give skyr a try.

I love it and think it is a great way to burn a ton of calories in an hour. I've only done it in a class at the gym. I think I would have a hard time sticking to an hour on my own.

I have been thinking really hard about this. I think the worst thing I have tried is Stevia. It is a good way to ruin perfectly good coffee. I have just learned to like my coffee unsweetened. I love all of the Kashi products I have tried so far. Not a fan of the Fiber One brownies. :(

I love the coffee from DD. I used to get their egg white flatbread sandwiches and wake up wraps. Not too bad on the calories, but not for every day either. I wish they had a lower calorie muffin option (not just low fat, like the blueberry one).

It will take you 3500 extra calories to gain a pound. From what I remember, those pints are about 1200. You might slow your losses, but I don't think you're in danger of gaining unless you were already over your calories by a lot. Hopefully you enjoyed it and you'll think long and hard before doing it again and definitely,…

Yes, sometimes, but I keep it simple. I will make mini baked omelettes and usually one other thing - shredded beef, chili, or marinated then baked chicken breasts. It is nice to have healthy choices that are also easy.

Thank you ladies!

When a man has a nice smile, good manners, and muscular arms.

At first I thought this said "burn your farts"

They are a little high in calories, with 290, but the Snickers Protein bars, especially the Caramel Rush flavor, are fantastic. They have 20 grams of protein. I don't recommend the pure protein, but that is because I had a bad reaction to them and was sick to my stomach for a few days.

This wasn't your question, but if you have a Smart and Final near you, they have great prices on the Torani syrups. I am very picky and prefer the Torani SF French vanilla or the Starbucks SF vanilla. Not a fan of the Dolce or DaVinci.

Female, 37 years old, 5'4 Starting weight: 310.8 2006 MFP Starting weight 232 2012 Current weight 212 Goal weight 165 (This is kind of an initial goal. Once I get there, I will decide if I want to lose more) This time last year, I was at 193, and I am disappointed to have given up so much progress.

I was 310 pounds at my heaviest, so I have been the fattest girl at the gym, at Weight Watchers, at life. I used to let that keep me from going, but I decided to stick with it. It wasn't easy. I have been lucky to have multiple people come up to me at the gym and tell me that they admire my dedication. At Crossfit, I have…

This, pretty much. I am a 12/14 on top and a 14/16 on the bottom and as I have lost weight (from about a 24), my lower body has changed dramatically with heavy lifting and cardio.

My experience with weight training has been great. About 5 years ago, I lost some weight and weighed about what I do now, but I was 2 sizes larger. Muscle is more compact. I have never gotten bulky from it and I have really loved being more self reliant and not needing anyone to help with heavy lifting (well, not usually,…

Without thinking about it, I pushed myself up onto a little wall that is about 6" above my waist. I didn't know I was strong enough to do that.

Ladies, if you have tried the Old Navy compression tops, what do you think of them? What about the C9 tops with built-in bras at Target? I am looking for support but more than a typical shelf bra and I would like to avoid the uni-b00b.

I started out at a little over 300 and I didn't use compression garments then. I didn't really even know about them. Now I am down a little over 100 pounds and I like to wear a Flexees shapewear top when doing high impact activities. It has a built in bra and provides a lot of support while holding in some of my loose…

Hanging power cleans :) I like starting in the hang position instead of from the floor.

I work out in the evenings and it doesn't keep me up, but I am usually done by two hours or so before bedtime. I eat dinner after I finish, which means I go to bed kind of soon after dinner, but it works OK for me. If I ate dinner first, I would not be able to work out well, I have learned. I take a shower after working…

Don't let the haters discourage you. I think he has a reputation that he doesn't really deserve. I have seen the show maybe 10 times or so over the years and it is usually informative and he doesn't try to sell anything. I doubt that "Dr. Oz Syrup" article actually contained an interview with him. He seems to advocate a…

I'm doing a plank challenge and I had to do two today to catch up. Over a minute each :)

That made me cry. Thank you. I am totally that girl. No eye contact, because I worry that I don't belong.

I love to have coffee and a banana with freshly ground almond butter, or a piece of toast with a hardboiled egg or half a banana with a piece of toast and some almond butter. I also really like to make overnight oats with yogurt, uncooked oats and some frozen fruit, like blueberries or a smoothie with protein powder, a…

Those cookies are shockingly high. I miss living in California where they had to post the calories for them. I was also shocked to discover the Costco food court ice cream bars that I used to share with my ex were 840 calories each. Each. Good thing I haven't had one in over five years.
