Chobani was my favorite but then I tried Fage and fell in love with it. I was surprised at how good the Oikos was too - I buy whichever of the three is on sale usually.

I was paying $42.51 a month for an Anytime Fitness membership but my contract ended this month and I was really unhappy there so I left. I checked out another local gym and their "deal" rate was $49ish with an enrollment fee or about $41 if you pay for a year all up front. They didn't have all the amenities I wanted and…

This was my first dance song at my wedding so it makes me think of my husband. :love: Fitness-wise, I'd have to say TurboFire and yoga.

I'm 5'8 and I have a few 4-inch heels that I wear from time to time. My husband is 6' and he says it's okay as long as I'm not taller than him, lol.

You've been pushing harder during your workouts? Are you sore? I find that when I'm really sore after an intense workout, I gain. I'm pretty sure there is a scientific reason for this but I'm not a scientist so I can't explain it but that might be what is going on here.

1. teenagers that think they are little bada$$es that come in my office and smart off :grumble: 2. politics 3. student loans 4. sugar cravings! 5. DOMS :sad:

I have my starting pics and my week 4 TurboFire results posted on my blog if you'd like to check those out. Not a true "before and after" but an "in progress" comparison :)

I think I know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow! OM NOM NOM!

Meat is murder... Tasty, tasty murder. Okay, not my quote but I still love it ;)

Oh yeah, this definitely happens on BOTH sides. I see posts here (and elsewhere) where "skinny" girls (putting labels in quotes bc I don't like them but don't know how else to say this) talk about how "fat" girls (and guys!) make them physically ill and that they must all be lazy a$$es etc. Then I also see "bigger" girls…

Went out to lunch with my coworkers and ordered grilled mahi mahi with mixed veggies instead of a cheeseburger!

Okay... Let me see... 2y/o class - kindergarten: Little Red Schoolhouse (small, private school in my hometown) 1st - 4th grade: Florence Black (public school) 5th - 6th grade: Mary Moss (switched bc MM was a new school and I was in their district) 7th - 8th grade: Agnew Middle School (AKA Hell) 9th - 12th grade: Mesquite…

I wear mine right under my bra as well and it seems to work just fine :) It does feel a little strange at first but after a few times you'll get used to it!

^^ This. The pill I'm currently on has me on a bimonthly schedule so I only have a period every other month (or a very light period). My doc told me it was normal but I still test when I miss just in case. I've also noticed that since I started MFP, my cycle has changed some so it could also be your body adjusting to…

This just happened to me recently. He started dating this girl that's not "cool" with him hanging out with female friends. It sucks... :ohwell:

Wow! You look amazing! I'm always so happy to see people's success stories. It really inspires me to keep at it! Congrats and keep up the FABULOUS work!

I totally see a difference! Especially in your side pic - HOLY ABS, BATMAN!!

I've reduced my caffeine intake and am monitoring sugar... Otherwise, I haven't made specific changes in diet for my anxiety, just general overall health stuff (more fresh veggies, etc). I think cutting out the processed stuff really helps. Honestly, the thing that helps the most with my anxiety is exercise. When I am into…

Dear Me - Hi, it's Me (Us?) 14 years in the future (seriously, we're about to be 30 - scary, huh?) Here are 10 things that I really want you to know: 1. You will have a crush on a boy come about September. Flirt and talk all you like BUT when that moment comes where you have that gut feeling that says "I don't think this…

6" turkey on wheat OR Italian herbs and cheese (my guilty pleasure bread!) with American cheese, lettuce, pickles, olives, and oil and vinegar (light on the oil!!). Every now and then I'll get a spicy Italian sub with the same toppings but it's rare.

Hey - I just searched 311 and found this topic. I love, love, LOVE 311 and so does my husband. We went to 311 Day in Vegas last month and had a blast. We're dying to go on the cruise but that's not gonna happen this year - maybe next time! ETA: I've seen 311 more times than I can count but 311 Day 2008 was probably my…

Oh gosh... Probably 311 at 311 Day 2008. AMAZING concert!! Edited to add: Also up there: Rage Against the Machine Nine Inch Nails Muse Weezer (didn't go to the festival to see them exclusively but they put on an amazing live show) No Doubt Snoop Dogg (seriously - he opened for 311 in Dallas a few years back and it was…

I saw your ticker and it looks like you've made some amazing progress on your journey! Way to go! Re: your post - I haven't had to deal with this issue personally but I've seen couples go through similar situations. Sometimes when a partner in a relationship makes such progress and changes as you have it can be a threat to…

Ooh, I'll have to check that out - especially the cinnamon one, that sounds DIVINE! I'm a big LC Cheese fan. My favorite is the garlic & herb but I also like the queso fresco one. :)

Your measurements are almost EXACTLY the same as mine! Bust: 45 Waist: 38 Hips: 45

I hate it when people say things like "no offense," "don't take this the wrong way," or "now don't get mad." It almost always means they have something offensive to say! Not to mention I can't guarantee whether I will get mad or not until I know what you're going to say!

I don't but my husband does. Here is the advice he's given to other people: 1. Invest in a good road bike. 2. HELMET HELMET HELMET. 3. Wear a reflective vest, especially if you're riding at night. 4. Buy a light for your bike - they usually have combo sets with a front and tail light. 5. Get a bike repair kit with a…

I don't spend a lot of time dwelling on my macros, I mostly just focus on overall calories. I do notice when I'm in the red and make mental notes to adjust. Recently I added sugar and sodium to my stats - I actually look at those more than carbs, fat, and protein.

Cadbury mini eggs are my kryptonite. :(
