  • I remember 15 years ago PRAYING to get my period becaue ~*all the other girlzzz had it and it meant i was a womannnnn~*~* Now, I dread it. Unless I've had a mini scare. I've told husband many times to either knock me up, or take an ice cream scoop to my uterus and get it the blankity blank out of me.

  • Definitely talk to your doc. If he didn't mention supplements yet, I'd suggest going the route of iron rich foods (meat/dark green leafy veggies) eat iron rich foods with a glass of orange juice(helps absorb) but try to avoid milk (hinders absorption). If it's 'just' a deficiency (vs full blown anemia) , it can usually be…

  • Y'all are amazing. Thank you so much for the tips and advice and your stories. I really appreciate it. I did a quick browse of the launch pad yesterday but I will likely take some time to better 'understand' it versus regurgitating the text. I think I'll probably action it here in the next couple days :)
    in How did you start? Comment by TaraTall January 2016
  • Yeah, depending on how my day goes, I don't generally eat back my calories. Sometimes I do but my target is based on my lifestyle as is. So if I burn 200 cal, i might not eat it back but if I burn 500, I'm usually hungrier and will eat it back.

  • I second all these comments on amazing service. Ask if a photo would be enough to initate the replacement? Or get a new rep. i lost my fitbit - read: LOST. And admitted to it - and they gave me 25% off any fitbit.

  • Make sure you have good shoes! Talk to doc about glucosamine. Do a stretch every morning/evening to limber up. Go at your own place at work. I know that sometimes the supervisors have a 'time' that it should take a room but if you take your time and do it well, it's usually not a problem unless it's an unreasonable about…

  • #anemics unite! My doc diagnosed me with it and initially assessed my diet. I'd try that course before supplements if the doc didn't recommend it. Try pairing iron rich foods with orange juice - it will help your body absorb it. Try avoiding milk right around the same time as the iron rich foods - it can deter the…

  • The thing I like about my One is I can wear it always. In the sense I can hide it discreetly and it won't impede anything. Think, some business attire or fancy dresses, meh - a wrist tracker might be 'tacky'. Or during my soccer games where you're not allowed any jewellery, I can tuck it onto my bra and no ones the wiser.…

  • Hey gang! I'm Tara (not so)Tall and I am hoping for 8-10 lbs as I push through insanity work out. I'm also from Canada and reallly excited to have some checks for self love. It's too easy to get focused on negatives during a wellness challenge. Great idea @BanannaNut !

  • On the topic of change rooms, when girls leave their hair everywhere and just general inconsiderate habits. Take a paper towel and give your space a quick wipe. I don't want your hair sicking to my sandal or arm *shudder*

  • lol! @lninyoda1 I curse at them too. Or make fun of their hair or their faces. It makes me feel a teeny bit better when I can rage at people I don't know. I was toying with the idea of becoming a BB coach just for the discount as well. Not sure if I'll do it but if any of the other workouts are as good as Insanity (and it…

  • There's also some coffee-esque teas out there. If you've got a David's Tea - their Java Vanna Mate tea is almost exactly like a coffee. Make it iced with some almond milk and you;re set.

  • I don't love excessive grunting. If I see you working and stuff, giver, but the loud and seemingly attention drawing grunts irritate me. Also, when there is limited equipment and they aren't willing to share the only squat rack. If they're doing quick rests, not a big deal but when they wander and do another exercise in…
