I was really terrified of joining a gym. I hated the idea of people watching me and I wanted to lose weight but I felt like I didn't fit in because I didn't know any work out routines. My best advice... go to group classes! The instructors will help you and the group atmosphere is usually really supportive. I've taken…

Yeah I can't wait. I just tried the other newish flavor, banana nut muffin, and omgggggg! It's softer than the others, and amazing. <3

I concentrate intensely on my body and the workout the entire time..

Don't Invest Energy or Time

Yup I'm in

You look great, dang quite hot ! <3

Will you design a diet plan for me? No, I don't want to weigh or measure anything. Too much work. Wait, where are you going?! Help me with my diet plan!! :ohwell:

Everything readwrite said. It doesn't have a strong taste, however I have come to really like the taste (of whole flax). I practically eat it plain with cinnamon and milk, like a cereal ;D. It's a good way to add fiber to an otherwise low carb diet. So it's super satiating. Put it on crunchy peanut butter!

Yea! Parboil them for 2-3 minutes as the instructions say. Then rinse them and either heat in a pan with creamy alfredo sauce and chicken or shrimp ;) Or, use them to make any kind of noodle soup. The first time I tried them I was a litte disappointed that they did not taste like actual pasta. But, imo they are a super…

Try the class; if it is any good it will be a very motivating and relaxing atmosphere, and the instructor usually gives variations for different skill levels that you can't get from an app. Usually they also lead you through the poses and remind you where to put your weight, where you are supposed to feel each pose, and…

coffeeeee

What are some of your favorite foods? What kinds of things did you really enjoy before you started to diet? Put some of those back into your day. Having no appetite is not a good sign; let yourself enjoy your food and you will be happier keeping up this lifestyle! ps. My solutions are usually: Peanut butter w flax…

I've had some success mixing the powder with 1/2 cup of cold water and then slowly adding hot water while stirring. It gets pretty...warm, hehe. You could also try the reverse-- dissolve the powder in some milk/water and slowly add to warm coffee.

They have a Rich Milk Chocolate "No Sugar Added" version which is really good. Is this the one you had or their regular?

Actually I usually feel kinda awkward buying combos like eggs, flax seeds, veggies, veggie sausages, soymilk, and a huge pile of beef bones for my dog.

Yeah, I get similar problems, massive cravings and general tiredness along with moodiness. The best cure seems to be extra hard exercise for all 3.

I would love to look into this; any tips? Need to detox my arteries fast

can you get this runner's high from any other exercise, especially lower impact? Is it the completely steady pace that induces it or something else?

The benefit is that some of my protein powders taste like dessert, so if I can have a creamy cinnamon bun smoothy directly before I go to bed and it's all slow release protein, no sugar/carb... it's kinda like magic.

nope you would die, saving your home town ally, who later also dies. :)

But but...what's the best macro spread to have? :devil:

no one listened to me either, even as I studied nutrition and lost a good deal of weight. When I reached my goal weight suddenly everyone wanted my opinion. Sad but it's hard to blame them... because actually I would not buy a fitness program from someone who did not look like my goal either. But, if you showed before and…

the milk looks fine to me; it could be the McDonald's for both lunch and dinner 2 days in a row that may have had better options

or.... ....... we tell you this because we care. honest.

I've felt a lot of the same things you have. It isn't fair and for a long time I had a lot of anger towards people (I still do). I especially understand the fear of sudden attention. But, what you've done has made you strong. You can and will find your way. <3

Long yoga pants because I need the protection on my knees and shins from the weights and the floor; even though they are pretty thin it's better than nothing! I have bruises all over my legs as it is, too, so its nice to cover them up. I wore shorts to the gym ONE TIME... quickly discovered that I may as well have gone in…

Soo many beautiful pets in this thread! Some great photographers too!

I like them and would recommend them. I also like whole flaxseeds, which I think have slightly more taste. Try putting either one on peanut butter toast or in an egg sandwich, or over yogurt... lots of ways to use them.
