I didn't even make it through the 2 week trial period on noom. The food tracking was difficult to use, which was enough for me to cancel it before I had to pay. I wasn't thrilled with the original fees if you did move into the paid version. In the beginning you had to state your goals and it gave a timeline, mine was going…

I guess it could be like the cheese crackers with peanut butter in them

I agree with both of these. Watermelon Jolly Ranchers are OK, but that is about it with watermelon

The V cheese is good for rotel dip or chili cheese dip, other than that...no use for it.

Pizza with bacon on it is so good!

Using the Ghiradelli dark chocolate caramel squares is an excellent option to make smores with.

Agreed, unless the oreos are crushed up in ice cream.

I sweat a ton. For some reason if I am in the plank position, I instantly start sweating. I do 9Round Kickboxing and that one also has me drenched. It's kind of nice, our trainers will clean up the sweat you leave behind :)

This is me. I have tried strength training in the morning, but I couldn't lift the same weight as I did when I lift in the afternoon. I am not much of a morning person and to get a workout in before work, I have to be out of bed at 4:30AM. Just do what works for you.

I get this. I was in the gym one Sunday morning and was talking to two other members that I knew pretty well and we were discussing the fact that we were working out on a Sunday morning instead of eating brunch and proceeded to discuss what we would eat for brunch if calories didn't matter. Pretty funny conversation…

Hey now, being a girl at 5'10"....it's just a whole different set of problems ;)

Visualizing raw onions under your doormat reduces allergy symptoms...they way my head feels today, I will try it.

Cheese, any low fat cheese is not worth it to me.

I do overnight oats with oatmeal, protein powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, cinnamon and a few nuts for some texture .

It was helpful to know the jewelry making trade. I fixed a lot of my own bracelets and necklaces. It was handy when I made my own when it was hard to find ones that would fit and even more helpful when I had to make them smaller.

This is me. I want to eat when I get to work, and once I start I seem to want to keep eating. So, I wait until 10:30 or so and then I am good. In the weekends, I have no problem not eating until afternoon. Usually 1-1:30. So I guess I need to quit my job to cut my calorie intake. Lack of money at that point would cut them…

I take B12 and Vitamin D, only because I have a deficiency. Tried the multi vitamin, that didn't help with either. Tried the pill form of both B12 and Vitamin D, that didn't work. I have to take liquid form of both to get my levels to a normal range. Does it hurt to take the multi vitamin, probably not.

My trainer told me that either way is OK, just make sure to keep the heels down and don't let the knees go inward. I angle my feet about 30 degrees, I can go deeper into the squat that way.

I left my breakfast and lunch at home one day last week. Luckily my boss told me to go home and get it. 15 minutes each way wasn't too bad.

I have never been able to master the double unders and when trying I left the gym with some impressive welts. Luckily they didn't really hurt. I jump rope a couple times a week. If I do it everyday, one of my ankles stars to bother me. I do like adding it into workouts to get my heart rate up though. My favorite is to do a…

When I am lifting, I think about lifting and counting my reps. When I am doing some cardio machine I listen to books. When I swim I think about absolutely nothing, I think it is the only time that ever happens. Sometimes I think about how many laps I have done and how far that is in miles (or portions of miles). When I go…

I do it because it helps me keep a deficit. Basically it stops the mindless evening snacks for me. Also, once I eat in the morning, I want to keep eating for some reason. If I wait to start eating until later, it cuts out a morning snack.

I never miss a Monday for working out, unless I am on vacation or sick or injured. Don't eat out more than 2-3 meals a week. (I failed at this last week)

It didn't happen for me, the band size went down, the cup size did not. I think it went up (but that is because of how bra sizes work)

We have kolaches here, also Czech, made in our bakeries and recipe handed down by my grandmother. But they look nothing like yours! Ours are more of an open faced, baked pastry with a fruit, mince meat, poppyseed, or other filling on top. Yours look amazing![/quote] True Czech kolaches are the open faced fruit filled…

Those look delicious.

This is a St. Louis favorite and it's called toasted ravioli, but its deep fried.

I agree with this. I am not at maintenance, but have decided working on portion control instead of eating the substitutes that don't satisfy my cravings. The Halo Top just doesn't really satisfy the ice cream craving, it did for about 4-5 pints of it, then I realized it wasn't good. Mostly a texture thing. Cauliflower rice…

I kinda miss the low fat craze, then people didn't give me looks when eating pasta :) I haven't gotten much shaming, but for a while I was getting "When are you going to end your diet?". Usually at work while eating lunch. Explaining that if I go back to how I used to eat I was going to gain the weight back happened once,…

I guess I need to try Enlightened now. I like Chilly Cow, but not a fan of Halo Top. I think its a texture thing.
