I have that handheld one as well, but I don't like it very much. I actually just use a vegetable peeler and do "shreds" instead of "noodles". It's really the same thing, and fewer kitchen items needed.

If it was highly successful you wouldn't have to do it a second time.

If you're wearing headphones, just ignore when they talk to you...if they keep talking, act like you notice, pull your headphones off and say "sorry, I couldn't hear you over my music" then immediately put them back on and get back to your workout. They'll realize that you're not there to chit chat when you jump back into…

Yasssss.....

This nearly made me pee my pants, I'm laughing so hard!

Bench. I totally pscych myself out on it though...convinced always that I'm going to smash my face with the bar, even when I have a spot. It's definitely my weakest, and makes me feel inadequate when I'm at the gym - especially when I can load a bar hella heavy for everything else, then put my itty bitty little plates on…

Are you doing rotating shift work? I also work 60-70 hours a week, but I know what days I start at 6am vs. 7:30am, etc. I know that on Tuesday mornings, I can go to a 6am class since I don't work until 7:30, or Saturdays I can take a 9:00 class. Other than that, I go to the gym whenever I can fit it in, but I agree with…

This is a vegetarian recipe, but super easy to make vegan. I keep these in my freezer and they are amazing to add to meals!! http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/veg-greek-meatballs-in-a-fragrant-tomato-sauce-with-feta-cheese/ I use egg replacer (ener-g) instead of the egg, and vegan ricotta I make with tofu (tons of…

Were you eating a large amount of sugar or consuming a lot of caffeine before you did a 180? Because, although it's not a detox, it might be a withdrawal-type symptom of purging that kind of stuff all at once. I know when I've tried to "quit" caffeine in the past, I've felt this way. And before you went "raw", did you plan…

I’m prone to picking up anything and everything that sounds good at the moment, and end up with a cart full of stuff that doesn’t go together to form actual meals, or doesn’t fit into my calorie/macros goals at all. I have to plan my meals ahead of time and have a list of everything I need to complete the recipes I plan to…

My husband and I eat very differently due to dietary restrictions/different goals. So he cooks what he eats and I cook what I eat. It's not difficult. You don't HAVE to have identical meals. Tell your boyfriend if he wants to eat something then he can make it. It's not your job.

My vegetable intake is anywhere from 400-900 of my daily calories. I absolutely log that. It is not free for me. I mean...if someone's only vegetable they eat a day is a small pack of carrot sticks...I could see how that wouldn't make a difference. But veggies are a massive part of my diet, so they need to be weighed and…

I definitely think that having a dinner already prepped will help you get more sleep...that way you can eat earlier because you don't have to cook, cleanup is faster, etc. As far as crockpot, I use it to make a large pot of Cuban black beans that I incorporate into my lunch salads and some dinners. The husband uses it to…

Is there a reason you don’t want to go to bed on a full stomach, like a reflux issue? I really think you’d benefit from meal prepping or crock pot cooking, so you don’t have to worry about cooking each night after a commute like that. Is your office you work at in a location where you could get some movement in on your…

Best post I've seen today :D

With my mouth. Seriously though, I have to put one TBLSP of PB2, sliced banana and 5 chocolate chips. Any more chocolate than that, it becomes a blobby mess, but just a small amount, stirred until melted, literally make it taste like I'm eating a gooey cookie in the morning.

Have you had any surgical procedures around that area, like ovarian cysts removed or hysterectomy? I had similar issues, and while doing burpees with my trainer one day, it suddenly felt like someone stabbed me and I literally curled up into a ball. About a day later, I was having bleeding, so called the doctor. Turns out,…

Are your friends/family/in-laws that you're wanting to give them to on FB or anything? You could make a "general" post that you are going to donate items, but if anyone wants to go through them beforehand they can. That way, it's generalized and not directed at any one person. I've done this with many things - clothes,…

My face and my thighs...which were really the two areas that I thought needed the LEAST amount of loss...I continue to lose very large amounts in measurement around my thighs, which is bonkers to me, while I lose very tiny amounts in my waist and next to nothing in my arms. I powerlift as my main form of exercise, and had…

So maintaining your body is a waste of money, but maintaining your car isn't?

What exactly is "the rest"? And is walking really free? I mean, where I live at least, I have to pay taxes, which pay for the sidewalks, trails, park upkeep, etc where I would walk...it's definitely not free. If I'd like to protect my feet, it's not easy to find free shoes. Do pushups cost money?

D's Naturals No Cow Bars...every flavor I've tried is delish and keeps me full!

Are you sure? Your profile says you've been a member since August, 2010. 10,000 days haven't even passed since you signed up...

I have a few friends in the thousands...I probably would be too if I hadn't been naughty and had my old accounts deactivated, lol. Currently I'm in the 450's.

Flax fold-it, layer of Supremely Spicy Sabra Hummus, Pickle Slices, Two Black Bean Patties drenched in Buffalo Sauce, a little vegan feta cheese. Yummo.

@leejoyce31 I've been on and off for about a decade now. Prednisone, as @Brianneplus3 mentioned, is awful. It messes with your weight, your body composition, your bone mass and your emotions. When you have to take them long term, as opposed to short stints for like, an infection or something. Even when I wouldn't gain…

It is...which is why we need to just be careful. I'm not allowed to exercise right now because I'm having a flare up in my foot and need surgery (pre-op today), and this week has felt AWFUL because I've gotten into a really good groove with my strength training and food and it really does make it hard and even depressing…

Hi! I have Lupus as well. One of the number one symptoms of lupus is fatigue...regardless of whether or not your disease in in a re-missive state or not. We are destined to always feel tired, lol. It's a total bummer, especially when you've spent a portion of your life being able to "do it all" and feel invincible. You…

Only what I'm allergic to.

I ran super late this morning so ended up getting a Large Iced Coffee (plain) from Dunkin Donuts and put a scoop of vanilla protein powder in it when I got to work. Not ideal, but my own fault.
