I agree, the aftertaste made me a little nauseous, honestly. I picked one up to try and it totally grossed me out. They're also way too expensive for my budget. I eat a Luna protein bar every day, though. I know they're not as great nutritionally, but they taste way better to me, and 12g of protein isn't too bad. I just…

I loooove Vegas, but can't stand seeing kids on the strip. I'd like to swear and drink as I please without an annoyed parent giving me dirty looks, thank you very much. I was there in May and we went down to Stratosphere to go on the rides. Decided to check out Circus Circus on the way back - big mistake. Such a dive, and…

I mix two tablespoons of Nutella with about 3/4 of a cup of plain greek yogurt and use it as a dip for apples (this amount makes 2 servings). Sometimes I add a little bit of dry cheesecake flavored pudding mix to it as well. It's amazing.

I always put deodorant on my inner thighs when wearing dresses. It helps a lot.

Haha, agreed! Every time I go grocery shopping I gravitate to the Joe Fresh workout clothes. Like I said - obsessed.

I buy most of my workout clothes at Old Navy - they have great stuff and it's really inexpensive, especially if it's on sale. Target also has a nice fitness clothing section, and again, very reasonable. I live in Canada and buy workout clothes at Joe Fresh as well - I believe JC Penney carries this brand in the US. And I…

Thank you for this! I haven't had to deload yet, but I think I will be on my next OHP to fix my form. It's nice to be reminded that deloading is not failure, but progress!

Okay, thank you for the advice! I'm going to try my current weight without bending my knees and deload of I have to. I want to make sure I'm doing the lift properly. I've only been doing the knee bend thing in the last 5 or so pounds, so hopefully I will be able to rectify it without too much trouble. Like I said, I…

I was overestimating the weight of my bar when I started Stronglifts at the end of January. I recently tried weighing myself and then weighing myself holding the bar and it's coming up around 17 pounds. I know it's not completely accurate, so I've been guesstimating it at 20 pounds, if for no other reason than the math is…

I also don't put much stock in what my BMI says. Five years ago I was considered at a "healthy" weight according to my BMI. I exercised a lot back then, but mostly did cardio. Now I am in the low-end of the "overweight" range. I weigh about ten pounds more, but my measurements are about the same (or less) than they were…

Awesome! I haven't registered yet, but plan on entering a team very soon. I have several friends and family members who want to do it!

I tried on my prom dress yesterday, which was way too tight two years ago. Zipped up no problem yesterday - almost eleven years after my prom!

This is my first post in this group, although I've been lurking and picking up lots of tips for just over a month now. I've been doing a boot camp class three days a week for over two years, and although I love it, we use low weights (most use 5lbs, I just moved up to 8s) and I felt I needed to add in some heavier lifting.…

I've seen ZBB a few times and they never disappoint. Their show on New Year's Eve in Detroit last year was definitely one of the best concerts I've ever been to. AC/DC in 2008 at the Skydome in Toronto - my fave band of all time. Angus's solo was unreal. Tom Petty in the Detroit area - I think it was 2007. I've seen him…

Hahaha! Definitely this.

I've found that a bath with epsom salts works wonders.

Hated them from start to finish. I kept reading ONLY because all of my girlfriends insisted they were soooo good and got better in the second and third book. They did not. Terrible writing, repetitive sex, and a glorified abusive relationship. Christian is a douche and Ana is a moron. I re-read all seven Harry Potter books…

There are tons of body weight strength exercises you can do - squats, lunges, push ups, tricep dips, etc. You can also get a set of 5lb weights or a resistance band for under $20 that you can do countless strength exercises with.

Would love a bod like Sofia Vergara. Super fit, but still rocking the boobs and booty.

^This. It took me about 6 months to do the ten-week program. I repeated weeks often, and if I had missed a few weeks I would only go back a week or two, instead of going all the way back to the beginning. If you stick with it you will get there!

Thanks, I didn't know that. I guess my favourite ORIGINAL song of 2013 would then be Boys 'Round Here - Blake Shelton and the Pistol Annies. Or Blowin' Smoke - Kacey Musgraves.

Gangnam Style was released in 2012 - I distinctly remember everyone drunkenly dancing to it at my cousin's wedding that December. It was still popular in early 2013, though. I'd have to go with Darius Rucker - Wagon Wheel (I know it's a cover, but it was good one) or Blurred Lines.

I worked my way through the C25K last year and, as someone who used to HATE running, I love it now! I did two 5k races last year, and will probably do several more this year. Also planning to do Warrior Dash at some point, and the Detroit Free Press half marathon in October. Not sure if I'll ever be interested in doing a…

I have many, but these are some of my favorites that I haven't seen on this thread yet: "There is no finish line." "Skinny girls look good in clothes; fit girls look good naked." "Don't think about how far you have to go. Think about how far you've come." - I go to this one a LOT when I'm running "F**k the haters."
