I have found ginger gum at the drug store...really helps (I get bus sick). I think Sea Band makes it.

I have gotten the comment from my husband that my gym schedule impacts our relationship- I go straight from work to the gym, get home around 8 or 9, am kind of gross, shower....by the time we really see each other, I am in pjs, glasses, no makeup, and with a Turbie Twist on my head. We adjusted this by working out together…

I am not hungry right after a workout...but do get ravenous about 2-3 hours later

I think that is regional. In NY, we usually ground beef for what my Mother in Law from Louisiana would call hamburger.

I just use a tote bag....and I'd use a travel toiletry bag for the shampoo, etc

I eat them often, but as a Type 1 diabetic, I find that the carb listing does not align with my insulin to carb ratio. I need to give myself insuling for more than 21 grams of carb- so I question a bit of the nitrutional label. But even if the carbs are closer to 30, the macros on this are still pretty good (protein bang…

I am a Type 1, but likely, if your sugars had been running high for a while and you are getting them back to normal, a normalish sugar (like 78) can make you feel woozy. Your body should adjust eventually. Also, keeping some glucose tabs with you (the Target brand, CVS brand, and Dex4 brands are by far the best) may be a…

5'3", 140 lbs, definitely getting to be more compact (have dropped a dress size and body fat, but remain the same weight. Hoping to eventually get down to around 130 lbs). I workout 5-6 days a week, lift heavy twice a week, do TRX, kickboxing, bootcamp, spin- you name it! Calories for the day using TDEE-15-20%= 1650 Macro…

Right- if you just want to exist as is, then a lower amount is fine. If you want to put on muscle, then you need more. I aim for around 130 g per day

I do tend to pre-log breakfast and lunch, so that I can make wise decisions regarding snacks, etc throughout the day knowing what I will be consuming. Since I kind of do a dinner snack after the gym, instead of a real dinner, I make decisions based on what I have already logged

Silicone for sure. We use them every week to make egg muffins, no need to spray.

I found the Quicksets never worked well for me and use the Sihouette. It goes in at an angle and I find it maintains its positioning better in a lower fat % body than the Quicksets do. Might be worth a shot?

I often order chicken fajitas, don't eat them in the tortillas, and take the rest home. I suualyl get 3 meals out of that filling!

No, Bota boxes of Malbec are actually not bad!

I approach it as such: I do not go seek a cheat day. I will, however, have non tracking days here and there for special occassions. This weekend, we went away for a wedding and I just let myself enjoy it. But I do not do that every week.

I only use tall hikers for overnight treks with a large pack. I have low hikers for day hikesm which I really like. Smartwool socks. A Camelback type hydration backpack that will also allow you storage for food, an extra water bottle, raincoat, etc. A trip to REI or whatever outdoor store you have should get you geared up.…

My San Francisco Bay brand ones are like 2 or 4

Yes, pencil skirts are a no go for me, too

Me me! Large behind over here. I am very close to an hourglass shape and have learned what shapes work, and what shapes do not. Shapeless tunics, empire dresses, etc, do not cinch on your smallest part, and thus can do funky things with larger hips and booties/smaller waists. For me, fit and flare dresses, straighter…

have you updated your info in the watch? If you weighed more, it may be miscalculating (if you weigh less now)

I am having a similar issue. Front to back movements aren't terrible, but any sort of side to side motion or deep squat really aggravates it. Kicking at kickboxing doesn't seem to bother it, but things requiring that deep squat- squats, deadlifts, rows, are just awful right now. Pigeon pose at yoga has me nearly in tears,…

There is a great older woman at Saks who has measured me....and some totally normal priced bras (check the sale rack!)

I do egg muffins, and half a protein shake, and sometimes a greek yogurt with it. It keeps my breakfast carbs around 17 grams

Where are you getting your TDEEs from? Also, I've noticed that adjusting the macros have helped tremendously, though not sure everyone reacts similarly. To lose weight you need to take that TDEE and subtract 20% (unless that is included in your numbers? Not sure)- to get somewhere around 1580/1600 per day. You need to…

I went to a BMI chart and looked around, saw what my range was. Then, taking my body shape into account (I personally think my hourglass shape looks better with a bit more weight on vs, say, someone who may have a less exaggerated body shape), I kind of picked something in the middle. Once I finally get there, I may…

I think TDEE may serve you well. I was having issues 'eating back' with nighttime workouts, so switching to TDEE made me comfortable eating a larger lunch and seeing my eating as a weekly number, vs trying to eat everything back in one day.

Patience! I have been at this for a year, and work out very regularly....but it took time for me to figure out the correct workout schedule/mix with the correct calorie/macro breakdown....Even though I am only down 5 lbs since last August, I have also lost over 10% body fat and a clothing size. But it took time.

I think you can do well at Trader Joe's if you have one?
