I always use my HRM. Always.

My best suggestion (as I'm a HUGE lover of all things sweets myself) is to try to work them in, as needed. For a while I was packing a Hershey Kiss with my lunches to bring to work so I could have a little chocolate fix in the afternoon. Don't totally deprive yourself - that's how those binges happen. And I know, they're…

Totally forgot about these! They make me think about my grandma - she always had some on hand for treats. :happy:

I also noticed with your logging some of the options you're choosing aren't correct. I believe it was yesterday (or two days ago) you posted a listing for a 3oz chicken breast at 225 calories. 3 oz of boneless, skinless chicken breast is in the 130 calorie range, so actually you could be under eating even more than the…

Agreed. My 3 year old nephew LOVES them. I figure, if he likes them, I probably should to. But no. He can have my share.

There's a lot of food I HATED when I was younger and now LOVE: Salad Coffee Cole Slaw (seriously, how was I missing out on this stuff during the time I ate complete crap?) Cabbage Squash It's always kind of nice when you realize you actually DO like something. Totally switches things up for you!

These things. Oh man. Now you have me thinking coconut, marshmallow, chocolate cake... damn.

Truth. Lol! I had one maybe a year ago or so... I was so excited as I hadn't had one in years. I ate half and decided it really wasn't all that great. Sad day.

I figure, it's not a fashion show. Kohl's, Macy's, Target. Wherever I can find something I'm comfortable in. A typical outfit at the gym for me (T, bottoms, sports bra) probably runs me around $50-60 for the outfit, on the expensive side.

Whaaaaaat, Spaghetti Squash is $1.29/lb here. That would drive me insane!

I melt mine pretty regularly into spaghetti squash...

I've bought these flavors in the past. I'd never eat them right out of the package, but baked in the oven they're actually pretty decent!

Mmmm. Macarons are one of my favorites!! I'd have to say... pizza. Now, I'm pretty used to making my pizzas on Flatouts at home for a reasonable "treat", but sometimes I want an actual pizzaria pizza. So, I have one slide with a salad and I'm good to go!

Don't rely on an unreliable source for medical issues. Contact your doctor. :smile:

Definitely! I also use mine when I package and ship stuff for Ebay (I'm a seller). Haha, so versatile!

My mom and I both own one of these: http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Stainless-Pull-Out-Display/dp/B000WJMTNA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399643067&sr=8-1&keywords=OXO+Food+Scale She has had her's about 3 years, I've had mine about a year. No problems with either one - super easy to use, the pull out display is a MUST…

Most of my protein is ON. The ON Cake Batter is WAY BETTER than the Cor-Fetti, so that's the only one I'd really avoid. It's fun and has little colored sprinkles in it, but the flavor is just off (IMO)

If you're hungry, by all means - eat!! :smile: I try to spread out my intake throughout the day, but I don't think it really matters in the long run

Totally depends on the day for me, but here's how I'm usually set up (approx.): Breakfast: 300 Lunch: 300 Dinner: 350 Snacks/Protein/Overages: 250 Total: 1200 If It's a day where I have a big workout/hit the gym, I'll eat more. It just totally depends on the day and how I'm feeling. Sometimes I have a late breakfast and…

I use a pre every time I hit the gym. Why? Gives me a little boost, kind of gets me "in the mood" to work out (though I'm sure it's a mental thing), tastes freaking delicious. Why not? If you try a pre, ones that contain beta alanine can make your skin tingle (head, arms, etc - depends on the person). I've never…

Same happened with my Gold's, but I just stayed a member at the "new" gym. I like it. Convenience is a huge thing though.

Yea, she was actually asked to leave the gym because people were feeling "uncomfortable". She showed the clothing she was wearing - pants and a tank. I'm sorry, but there shouldn't be anything intimidating about that, no matter who you are.

I pay $10/month. I don't go to PF. I can deadlift my little heart out (sorry, had to say it!) If $10/month is why you're with PF - awesome, that is a good deal. But there are other options out there as well. Its up to each person to make their own choice on which gym to go to. Regardless, I give all people props with the…

I do chicken regularly (I love to grill huge batches and freeze in smaller portions for myself). I have a Food Saver that I use to do this and the meat stays pretty moist and sealing it does extend the freezer life. I dig it.

Mint Chocolate Chip!!! Yum!

There isn't just a "fitbit", but whatever one you choose will depend on your goals and what you want to get out of it. I'd check this out: http://www.fitbit.com/comparison/trackers For me, I went with the Flex. I wanted something I could just strap on my wrist, would sync easily with my phone, etc. I view it as more of a…

I've been in a very similar boat, so I feel ya! My best piece of advice, that I've really taken to heart this time around... ENJOY your journey. Don't limit yourself or say "NO" right away to "bad" foods. I found that in the past I was so quick to pass on everything I viewed as being "bad", and that wasn't me being very…

My mom and I both use this one: http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Stainless-Pull-Out-Display/dp/B000WJMTNA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399469569&sr=8-1&keywords=OXO+Food+Scale It's easy to use, and I LOVE that you can pull out the reader in case you have a plate or something set on top. She has owned her's for about 3 years, and…

True statements. :sad:

I love love love my ON Gold Standard. I'm a powder+water = on the go delight, kind of girl, but it also mixes well with fruit, etc if you want to go that route. I usually mix up a little protein to go with my breakfast and then I have another after the gym in the evening (1 scoop each time). While proteins can be a little…
