See...now you make me want to put a slice of cake in the toaster oven...if it burns bread calories, it'll burn carrot cake calories too!

I prefer combinations of all of the above, lol. I want someone who is friendly but committed to urging me to do more than I think I can. The trouble is, I also want someone who will recognize when I say "I cannot do that" it isn't that I don't want to or don't like it. It is that I am telling you a physical "I cannot do…

Congrats! I'm working on that myself...it's that last belt hole (on a very large belt mind you, lol - I'm only starting) that's currently holding me up. Plateau sucks, lol. Excellent job for you!

For me, I like to cut them up and add them to chicken and barley soup. I don't find them very often anymore.

When I input them, I see something that asks if I want to share with the recipe database. When I've said yes or no, my friends can't search and find them. Oh well. I had forgotten about their ability to go to my diary and copy and paste though. That'll work too, lol. If they're eating here with me, the meals should be the…

My mom and I have tried to be very dutiful in doing it over the winter. We were good thru December but in January in NJ we just kept getting socked with snow and waking up to 5 degree mornings. We walk at 4am and decided that was just too damnably cold, LOL! Now that the mornings are back to the 20's, 30's and 40's, we've…

I also love this app, but I couldn't manage to finish the actual running part! I did the Z5K by walking it entirely. I made the goal at the end so I guess it either felt my time was good enough to achieve the mission or it didn't care that much how long the 5K took me to complete. I think I finished the walk within an hour…

I do the "to go" part and go to Dunkin Donuts every morning for a drive thru order of iced coffee with skim milk and an egg white turkey sausage flatbread with no cheese. I like that quite a bit! When I feel like splurging, I have them put the French vanilla flavoring in the coffee. It's sugar free but I presume is filled…

It's been a while since I ran a supply run seeing as I don't think they help in the S2 format. They only give supplies, no building materials. I seem to recall liking them a lot. The whole point was just for supplies. There was a story but it was an open ended one that really just commented on what you were running for. I…

I go to Dunkin Donuts and get an egg white turkey sausage flatbread sandwich without cheese. Pressed for time, to me, means eating in my car as I'm driving to work, lol

Hi! I'm Walker 5, lol. My mom and I do it together and we walk the whole thing. We used to run for the zombie hoard chases in season 1 but season two was too fast for us and I turned them off.

It has for me. It's asked me 3 times if I want to reevaluate and it's dropped my calorie count each time.

I'm not anti-butter, lol. I think it should be a food group unto itself - with bacon and cream cheese - for just delicious things. I don't find it adds much to this one though so I tend to skip it. I think the reduced maple syrup adds so much wonderful flavor on its own. It's a very rich flavor all by itself. Try it - if…

Cranberry maple syrup yam casserole: http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/recipefinder/maple-cranberry-sweet-potatoes-recipes I love this recipe and make it as often as I can. I skip the butter though. I find no reason for it.

I've used Alton Brown's wet brine for my turkey for years now and I won't ever go back. My husband thought it was the stupidest/most complicated thing ever and entirely unnecessary - until he ATE it! Now, he is currently brining said bird while I'm at work. I didn't know one could "dry brine" something. Is that the same as…

No, you're not missing out. The entire 5K app takes place sort of between episodes 1 and 2 in the season 1 full app. If you are a runner already, you don't need the 5K trainer. Just jump straight to the full ZR app...you'll love it! Run safe out there!

You should definitely have a doc look at it. It could be something as simple as a pulled muscle or as big as a ripped tendon. I wouldn't recommend lifting at all if you feel like you've lost grip strength or have actually lost grip strength. I have pain that runs along the pinky side of my forearm to my elbow but I know…

For me, I started with videos and YouTube stuff. Once I got to what felt like "real" weights to me (probably in the ball park of squat and deadlifts of about 75 pounds or so) I realized I needed to double check my form. I've been going to an Anytime gym for a few years so I know the trainers. I set up 2 weeks of sessions…

I love this.

I have mine set for 60 minute missions and I find that mine vary from about 45/50 to maybe 60 or 65 minutes or so. I didn't find the length too different for me from Season 1 to 2. I found the zombie hordes to be much faster though! I never had any issues outrunning/outwalking them in Season 1. I got caught 3 times in a…

Tagging for later

Best thread ever. You sir win the internet.

For me, it's not calories. It's sodium that I'm regularly shocked by. I was inputting my chili recipe to figure out how many calories were in a serving and I'd used cans of both crushed tomatoes and tomato puree. The crushed tomatoes had about 1700mg of sodium in the can whereas the tomato puree had only about 200mg per…

I'm about at the 4th-ish week too. (Simply can't remember right now.) Right now I am at: Squat - 75 Bench - 75 Overhead - 50 Dead - 75 Row - 70 I worked out with a trainer/power lifting buddy of mine for 2 weeks to make sure I was using good form and learned some nice tips to keep my squats and rows right. I find now that…

I really love my Double Layer Wirefree Sports bra (style # 23664) from Just My Size. I'm a 42D and find it to be very comfortable for both exercising and for regular day wear if I forget to swap to my regulars. It is a bit pricey at $47 each but for me, it's worth it.

I asked a power lifter friend of mine to help me on form - especially in squats because I knew I was carrying the bar too high and leaning forward. My squats are MUCH better now. He had me do something different today that I'm going to keep doing because I found it really helpful. First, I know I'm breaking "the rules"…

I've also just started. I'd been lifting weights/using the machines in the gym. I hadn't had a strong response from them but I have noticed I REALLY feel the muscle soreness/pain about 2 days after lifting. I'd wanted to try something more specific and decided on SL. I was planning on lifting M/F and doing my cardio…

I don't enjoy running at all. It hurts my knees and hips something awful and I find myself entirely incapable of doing it for longer than 1 minute at a time. It meant that I walked my way thru the ZR5K, season 1 and now thru season 2. I find that I walk more (3-5 miles a day), at a stronger pace (about 3-3.5mph), and more…
