I just started taking Bee Pollen that I got from vitamin shoppe this week not only to see if the myths about weight loss are true, but apparently it's wonderful for allergies and helps with energy. I work 70-80 hours weekly between 2 jobs and try to maintain a household, keep up with my dog, study for school, and get to…

I never thought of pilates!!! My gym has a beginner's class, a regular one, and even an advanced one. Maybe I can try the beginner's this upcoming week when I go back. I didn't want to go back to the gym this week since I didn't want to overdo it after also going back to work for the first time in 12 days... so maybe I can…

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea the unfortunate luck I have. Seriously, I've had enough catastrophies to last a lifetime!!! I always ask "What's Next?"... but I really don't want to know, lol. and yes I have done PT for 5 weeks once I was completely healed from the fracture. I reached MMI so they really can't get any…

I wish I could suggest the kind you like. I do pretty well with my Beats earbuds, or the earbuds that came with my 5th gen ipod. They have never fallen out of my ears and I typically don't get tangled or anything. The sound quality is what matters most to me.

I'm addicted to workout SHOES. I seriously have about 7 pairs of Adidas... but to be fair, it's the only shoe I can wear comfortably with how I shift my weight. So I wear them all the time at work, then another part for day to day things, then another pair for the gym. So... okay I have 3 pairs still in boxes. :x

I took the Garcinia mainly for the "full" feeling when eating to happen sooner rather than later. The bottle said to take it 30 minutes before eating, but I found it to help when taking it right before I began to eat with a full glass of water. My problem is I can eat, and eat, and eat. I wanted something to help me feel…

I have them and I refuse to deprive myself. Avoiding them at all costs will just make you crave them more and thus drive you to a bingefest........ or a mental breakdown. I love Belvita cookies for breakfast with a nonfat yogurt. Or sometimes I'll eat either or sometime in the day which fixes my sweet tooth. Sugar free…

Unless I go out to dinner or order from a local restaurant, I have all of the calorie info for what I eat from home. I usually don't buy on a whim, and I usually measure out my food at home when I make it. It's not hard and I got used to it. Local restaurants are the only things without readily available info. I also have…

The closest TJ to me is also about 45 minutes away. I would even love to have a Whole Foods or Wegman's but they are about 30 minutes away. So sad.

I really enjoy the Truvia, but I don't really use sugar in much of anything other than my coffee, tea, or oatmeal. I've tried Stevia in the green and white powder forms and both taste weird to me... if that makes any sense.

Sweet thanks so much! I love you, even though you don't know it. ;) And to everybody else... I'm on isolation with MRSA. I'm not dying or anything. I really have no contact with anybody, and I'm confined to ONE room that I can't leave. Logging calories is seriously giving me something to do beyond the crap on TV and…

I find them to not only taste gross, but to be TONS of sugar. Special K makes protein shakes with less sugar, and you can also go to any health store (or even TARGET!) and get other brands with less calories, less sugar, and more protein and fiber.

Can almond butter be found in Shop Rite? Because the closest Whole Foods or Wegman's is 30 mins away.

I have had a Force for a month now and I don't have any problems with the clasp unless something gets caught on it. I also work as a vet tech and wrestle/restrain animals often so I have run into the clasp coming off if a paw gets stuck in it... but other than that, it's steady and true. I find it comfortable and I don't…

Beating a dead horse... YES. However, the first week you could lose more than the following. My first week I lost 5 and a half, but since then I am at about 1-2 pounds per week, depending on how often I can get to the gym and how crappy I eat. I can also gain 3 pounds in one day because I drink a lot of fluids when I work.…

I am enjoying these tips! I just got one for Christmas and I am nervous about a rash since I break out with any jewelry or watches, no matter what the material!

I'm on my feet all the time between both of my jobs and 60-80 hours weekly. I factored that into MFP for the teacher/salesman setting since they/I aren't exactly walking or running around ALL the time, but definitely standing most of the day. However if I do find myself walking a lot doing something else... like walking my…

There is nothing wrong with eating pizza. Nothing. You can still lose weight if you don't eat it in huge amounts. Personally, I eat pizza multiple times a week because I have a crap work schedule and never enough time to cook or eat properly. Am I losing weight at the pace I want to? Not exactly. But I have lost weight...…

I don't really care who argues with me on this. But I think it's pointless to diet by cutting out carbs completely, or almost completely. Once you're done dieting, you're just going to eat carbs again. So unless you plan on never eating carbs EVER AGAIN, stop doing this crap. Yes it helps you lose the weight now, but…

As of right now... I barely get any time TO work out. My spare time is spent trying to keep my house in order, errands, and trying to be a person. If I go to the gym, I have to cut 3 hours out of my sleep time between the actual workout, showering, and protein consumption. I was able to go to the gym whenever I pleased…

My gastro. I had 2 scopes done last year for TMI reasons, but the culprit was not enough fiber. We tried tapering me down to say 30-40g daily and the problems started back up again. So sad.

Oh, I wish I liked the foods you posted. I only eat bananas mixed in with other things... like a smoothie or yogurt. Bananas by themselves gross me out from the texture. :( I think I can try tree-nuts. I never tried it before. And I have tried apple butter before from a local farm and loved it. That's a good idea! I never…

My fiber intake is supposed to be 55g/day, but that's super unrealistic for me. I use the clear fiber powder, lots of berries, apples, beans, and dark green leafy vegetables. I also go to wheat breads instead of white. If I am short for the day, I usually just go to the calorie powder and work it into my drinks for the…

I usually eat it in moderation over MONTHS, or I bring it into my jobs and share it with my co-workers. My boyfriend isn't much of a candy person unless it's those Reese's peanut butter marshmallow things. I love bottle caps, the colored/flavored and chocolate tootsie rolls, sour patch kids, and milky way dark.

I work overnights full time and daytime part time. I pretty much eat my meals at normal times, even when I was only overnights. I would usually skip lunch obviously because I'm sleeping. But I would eat dinner when I woke up, and I would eat lunch on shift. If I knew I was going to be up for a little bit longer after work,…

There's an AF near me but it was very disappointing. Very little cardio equipment and tons of weight training... so it was suboptimal for me because I am more interested in cardio. PF always has deals... always. All gyms within 50 miles of me have a promo where it's either $1 enrollment fee or $0. The basic membership to…

The sad part is about 10 years ago my mom was on Stacker2 with Ephedra and she lost over 40 pounds, with zero side effects. We laugh about it now, but think back on how bad it could have been, lol.

My boyfriend lost over 40 pounds during the duration of him having his previous license, and the most he got was "Wow, how much did you lose?". I know it's not as much as you, but people don't seem to have an issue. It's you. That would be like asking someone to take their glasses off if their photo didn't have them with…

A friend of mine works at a local spa that specializes in different types of wraps. I saw fantastic results on people with loose skin, or stretch marks. She said her biggest customers are people that recently lost weight or women that recently gave birth, and the wraps help tone the skin up after a few sessions. It's…

No pills will burn fat. There are pills that boost your heart rate, which in turn helps to metabolize energy quicker, and prevent the creation/storage of fat. There are also pills that help block the absorption of fat by expelling it out of the body (Alli is one of them). I admit when I go to the gym, I take Xantrex to get…
