Reading this post makes me jealous! I moved from a large urban area to a very small town in the U.P and there are only two pricey local grocery stores (with terrible produce imo) and the nearest walmart is over an hour away so it's definitely a food desert! Whenever I'm downstate I make a point of shopping and loading up a…

I followed her program last year and it was the best shape I'd ever been in!! I've since had some life changes and don't work out like I use to and I'm working to get back on track but I know her plan works. I wouldn't worry about the scale, having tone muscles will look and feel fantastic! Good luck!!

Gym, I'm really good at talking myself out of working out at home but put me in a gym and I get stuff done!

I read every single post =) Great advice overall! Thank you! I have spent the last few days thinking and praying about having a wedding or not and we have decided to go with the VERY small wedding idea this summer. I found an adorable little church for the ceremony and a B&B we could stay at near by. I want to wear his…

I think poverty plays a role in poor eating choices but it isn't the only factor. I almost cried at the grocery store last week because I watched the couple in front of me who were the same age as my boyfriend and I and they were both overweight buy 200 dollars worth of groceries (mostly junk like pop, frozen meals, white…

I love mfp, your advice is amazing! =) I want to marry because I know in my heart he is the one and considering our Christian beliefs we take it seriously. Once we finalize a plan I want to talk to my pastor about pre-marital counseling to confirm our belief/future together, I think having a small ceremony/dinner and…

PB2 and sweet potatoes! I also loved the greek yogurt cheesecake bites I made from a recipe I found on here

I now regret joining PF but thats because I recently converted to being a heavy lifting enthusiast. If your looking for a place to do cardio and free weights than its a good cheap place for that, they don't have oly bars or anything to do real squats and things with. Each one is a franchise so how strictly they follow the…

I'd go and visit, take a look around and talk to someone. See if they have the equipment and other amenities you like. My bff uses an anytime fitness and likes it, the one by me is too expensive. I go to planet fitness which I was fine with until I started weight lifting and now I regret it since they don't have squat…

i really like dandelion root tea, i drink it at least a couple days a week, more often if i'm feeling yucky and bloated. I think it helps but who knows lol I don't have major acne problems so i don't know how well it helped with that. I can only find it at one store by me (and I've checked a lot of places!) the brand is…

I haven't logged for the last like three weeks and I think I'm doing okay, I haven't gained anything that is. I still work out, mostly weightlifting, and I measure my food. I make sure I eat enough protein and avoid unhealthy options. I liked logging but it got annoying since I eat the same like ten things but then I'd go…

I really like their 10 minute farro and bulgar. I haven't been able to find anything like that at a different store. The cheese selection is awesome and the only place where I can afford to buy gruyere and other fancy cheeses. Their lite cheese sticks taste way better than other brands too. I've loved everything I've…

I completed phase one and liked the results but phase two was too complicated for me and I was having to make too many modifications for it to be worth my while. I started NROL4W and did that for a couple weeks but I don't have access to oly bars and things on a regular basis so I decided to redo phase one, focusing on…

I quit logging my food about three weeks ago and I'm doing alright. The initial tracking helped me to realize i had to rethink what a portion was as well as to focus on getting enough protein. I'm able to do that without writing everything down now, I still measure out serving sizes and make sure I'm making good choices.…

I'm the opposite, I have no boobs to speak off and I tell people its not a big deal but sometimes its annoying to feel so unfeminine in certain outfits and I also think if they were bigger than my belly wouldn't look like it stuck out so much...

i hate the loud music! most people listen to their own anyways and its obnoxious when i can hear the gym's music over my own headphones =/ and yes to kettlebells! my gym doesn't have them and i asked about getting some and got shut down with some silly corporate policy excuse i hate my gym haha

I'm a vegetarian for the most part (i do eat dairy and seafood as well as bacon on occasion but no chicken or other meats) and from my experience reading on here you can't have too much protein in your diet and I try to get 90 to 100 grams a day since i'm weightlifting and usually I reach that goal supplementing with…

i cook tilapia frequently, this is my favorite marinade/sauce for it! its so yummy that i've used it on grilled shrimp too. i don't eat chicken but i bet it be delish with that as well. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/sweet-spicy-citrus-tilapia-10000002001927/

I AGREE! and i don't have any =( =( otherwise i'd make some probably I am not a meat eater, I don't like chicken, steak, ham, whatever but I LOVE bacon...its basically the main reason I'm not a full on vegetarian. hahaha im so darn weird

I LOVE sweet potatoes but I've only ever ate them baked...well cooked in the microwave then ate like a baked potato so I'm curious about making them into fries too. sounds yummy! i prefer to eat them with sour cream or greek yogurt and cheese like a loaded baked potato rather than sugary stuff...i think they are sweet…

I loooooove that style for women! I can't really do the hairstyles but i love wearing red lipstick and dresses/skirts that show my curves. My bf goes bananas when I wear my retro nylons that have the black line up the back. I like that style for my apartment too, i have a stove and dining table set from the 40's and they…

about 6 months or so but my face still looks the same haha

bump! i love this thread because its something i've been wondering about too. i started weightlifting and did jamie eason's livefit phase one and was happy with the results but then I switched to NROL4W because I thought compound lifts are better and didn't really like it mostly because i had a harder time accessing the…

Generally when I make pancakes I want to be quick about it so I use a box mix, I like trader joe's multigrain baking mix and I add a scoop of vanilla protein to the batter. My boyfriend didn't even notice =) I want to try the ones with banana but come Sunday morning I'm too lazy lol

you aren't alone! i'm a picky eater and recently i've been able to eat new foods like sweet potatoes and tilapia but I still don't like a lot of "normal" food like eggs or chicken and it makes dinners with friends or my bf's family awkward. I make a point to not complain or say anything at all about the food because why…

i was a HUGE milk drinker before I started paying attention to my nutrition. I could polish off a gallon of 2% a week. Anywho I basically never drink cow's milk anymore and stick to water when I eat my meals. I'm surprised I have adjusted so well actually. I use almond milk for protein shakes, cereal, cooking, etc. I still…

i'm 22 and have finally accepted that I won't have those things called boobs, haha most days I don't even wear a bra, just a cami. Every well endowed women I talk to tell me to be thankful but I would like some kind of curves! There really isn't anything that can be done about it, I read about some "chest strengthening…

went on a fantastic hike with me today! its one of our favorite things to do.

or search for the individual ingredients in the sandwich, that's what i do and its usually more accurate. when i eat out at chipotle or subway or where ever I use their website to calculate my food and add it as one of my foods and not to the database...idk why everyone else doesn't do it that way

thats what i use, i use the chocolate flavor as a shake with just water or almond milk and its good. I add the vanilla to my oatmeal almost every morning and its great, i can't even taste it but i love getting that extra protein boost in the morning.
