Buy at costco or other club stores. It's not like they go bad! LOL! Stock up! LOLOLOLOLOLLL.

I HATE THIS SAYING! It's completely INACCURATE! I blogged about it back in February. Check it out (link below). While people have good intentions saying this statement, it does no one any good making someone else believe something that's untrue! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/LydiaFair10?month=201302 Gahhhh!!! Sorry, I…

Water is the MOST important thing!

Polar is the best. You should always opt for one with a chest strap. They measure MUCH more accurately. Wrist ones are pretty bad. Amazon always has them for MUCH less. I love my Polar FT4. Worth EVERY penny.

NOT accurate. I have a Heart Rate Monitor. The treadmill told me the other day that I burned a measly 99 calories. My HRM said 254. It's the best investment I've made.

Here is the BEST breakdown of clean eating I have ever found, and it is what I follow: www.thegraciouspantry.com/clean-eating/

I'm in! I'm such a cardio bunny, so I need the push to lift more! Can't wait!

I try to always pre-plan my food the evening before and log it into MFP. Then I'm more likely to stick to it the following day. I never pre-record my workouts. I use a HRM, so it would be pointless to guess how many calories I would work off in my next workout session.

I have been sticking to weighing in when I remember, and logging it into MFP. Here are my results for last week: 3/13 - 3/14: LOST 0.4 pounds 3/14 - 3/17: LOST 1 pound 3/17 - 3/20: LOST 1 pound TOTAL lost since 3/13: 2.4 pounds! YAY!

It should be in the settings menu under Diary Settings.

The weigh-in should be April 10 (last one) - FYI. If we're sticking to Wednesdays...

Hoping to lose 5 pounds by April 10!!

Oh, I'm totally in! I pledge to lose 5 pounds in 4 weeks as well. :happy:

YES YES YES!!!

Here are some suggestions: 1. Drastically reduce your sodium intake. You're likely holding onto a lot of excess water weight due to your sodium levels. And not drinking enough water is not going to help that. Instead of salted butter, tried whipped unsalted butter. Instead of a Special K cereal bar for a snack, try a…

I am definitely not a vegetarian, but I do juice! I usually juice for breakfast 2-3 days per week. My favorite juice recipe is: 5 large kale leaves 2 handfuls spinach (I roll the spinach in the kale leaves to helps get them through the juicer more effectively) 1 medium-large lemon 2 medium apples 1 teaspoon size of ginger…

Have you tried Lululemon? They are a bit expensive, but their Ta-Ta Tamer bra is fantastic.

I love the barcode scanner on my iPhone app. When you click add, pick the meal/time of day you want to add to, in the top right corner there is a barcode looking button! Try that...

Thanks, everyone! I only record my weight on the same day every week (usually Wednesday or Thursday...whichever one I end up weighing on), but I like to see how certain days effect my weight. I appreciate the responses. I'll keep this all in mind. :)

shin splints are typically from two things: 1. poor support from your running shoes - as you run more, your needs can change with a running shoe. do you have a running store near you that can properly assess the type of shoe you need based on how you run? 2. weak or overworked calf muscles - if your calf muscles are either…
