Trader Joe's Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

Hi there... I was a CF addict in 2011-2012, and now I am in a new state with a new clothing size. :-( It is time for me to get back into a box and ease into that rower. Because my shape is ROUND like a wall ball. Please add me if you are sarcastic, witty, and mildly motivating. I can use all of the like minds I can get.

Richie: I'm in. I am 39 yrs old and married. I have had some lung issues lately, but I got cleared for exercise yesterday. I'm going to ease back into exercising this week, and start back on the clean eating wagon. Water is the worst part for me! Yuck! You're on. I seem to hyperfocus on this for a month or so, then I…

Add me! Add me! I need more paleo/primal peeps, and I am more successful when I have voyeurs. ;-)

LOL I use avocado almost anytime you would use mayo. (deviled eggs, salad dressing, etc.)

Eh, the vegetarians don't get as much grief because they eat beans and pasta. I started eating paleo about a year ago. I have dropped 30 lbs, and I feel so much better. When I eat bread or pasta, I can feel my body slowing down and being sluggish. It's almost a 30 minute to 1-hour window where this happens. You know that…

Yes, I do try to stick to an 80-20 paleo diet. So it's not as strict as most of you are believing that it is. It's not about being "ANTI-grains and dairy." It's more about getting things that are close to their original state. Grains now are NOTHING like what they used to be. They are stripped down to a fraction of their…

Ditto what MMMary said. I have switched from the recommended "low fat, whole grain, limit your meat intake" diet to a "clarified butter, coconut oil, avocados, and lots of grass-fed meat." Just by doing this, I have gone from 188 to 171 in the past 5 months.

Actually, whether they are ripped or pudgy makes no difference to me. Their knowledge of the skills that they are teaching, their ability to motivate me, and the expertise in recognizing if I am correct/incorrect is WAY more important than what their body looks like. I prefer to look at slightly pudgy men, so it's actually…

meatza. Make a pizza "crust" by patting ground beef or ground turkey sausage into a pizza pan. Broil until brown and crispy. Take out and put pizza sauce, cheese, and veggies on top. Stick back under the broiler to brown the cheese. Let sit in pan for a few minutes after removing from oven. Slice into wedges, and enjoy…

Tell him that he's not your type. That you have a thing for elderly lesbians. As in, "You are not old enough for me, nor am I interested in going back to guys."

I used to enjoy throwing the dirty dishes out in the trash. For some reason, this is oddly satisfying.

Dog got out, ran down the street, so daughter was crying. Her backpack was missing. Looking for the dog, cars splashing me with yucky street water because it had rained all night. Pile of work waiting on me from Friday, because I had to take a day off. *kitten* is still sore from Fight Gone Bad 6 on Saturday. Didn't have…

Well, I agree with tdgee... maybe less wood during class.

Ditto the HIIT... squats, lunges, overhead presses, push ups, sit ups, etc. 5-10 of each, with little or no rest in between. 30 minutes on a treadmill or elliptical is a waste of time, unless you're doing sprints.

ROFLMAO This is the best post ever.

I'm a Joe Pa fan, but not necessarily a Penn State fan. I'll pull for them when I don't care who wins, just because Joe Pa is a sexy beast. I live in the TOP of Louisiana, and I'm NOT an LSU fan. I pull for Notre Dame, or whoever is playing LSU. My BF is from Michigan, so I give him a lot of grief because they suck now. I…

POST OF THE DAY! LMAO!!

Not surprised... here in Louisiana, getting into a barfight is part of the weekend routine. Low intelligence + high alcohol intake = invincible attitudes at bars. OU = overrated. Big time. Disappointed that Miami could get all of the penalties, but the reaped NO rewards. At least USC was successful when they were paying…

Trying to post my "BEFORE" photos... Let's see if this works!

I started today... While Jillian means well, some times during the warm-up she didn't stretch both sides. Not that it really mattered, because after we got going there was no turning back! It actually raised my heart rate in the same way that a CrossFit AMRAP workout would. I couldn't make it all the way through a couple…

I'm in... I'm actually going to start one day early, but I have to take Tuesdays and Thursdays off.

The food is always a challenge, whether you're in college or not. The tough transition is with your daily activity. In high school, you're moving from class to class, without a lot of down time in between. In college, you may not have classes that are at 8 AM each day, which leads to sleeping in. In between classes, it's…

CrossFit. There's no other option for me, now that I have seen the light!

Ditto that! Also, if you think that WW is a good idea, then this is not for you. It's for people who are SERIOUS about getting healthy.

I don't have pics, but I've been eating paleo for about 2 months... I've lost 10 lbs, but more importantly, I feel better. No "bathroom issues," no bloat, no sluggishness after meals. And my skin and nails are incredible! Many times, I can't finish all of the food on my half-plant/half-animal plate... it's really opened my…

And along these lines, if they're not ready to change then nothing you say can change them. You can cook them grilled salmon and asparagus, but on the way to work they'll drive thru McDonald's. I'm looking out for #1, and I'll make every effort to help...when they are ready to change.

I didn't click on the link... I didn't see a need to, to answer the OP question.

I want to be an example for my daughter. I also choose not to smoke or do drugs. Even though they "cause cancer" and "will kill you." If I had the attitude of "I know I am going to die anyway," then why MFP? I prefer to live better, eat healthier, and make smarter choices to be fully enjoying each day... no matter how many…

I've been lactose intolerant my entire life. I hate the feeling I get when I would eat pizza or have a bit of ice cream. I tried to replace these things with soy. For the past 2 1/2 months, I've been eating paleo. And I've never felt better. Replaced the soy milk with almond milk, and made coconut milk ice cream. When my…
