I'm another Polar FT7 user and flip flopped back and forth about getting one for at least 18 months (mainly due to price and the fact that we live in a constant state of broke) but then my mom finally got me one as an early valentines day present and I love it. It's so simple to set up and use and the calorie counts are so…

Haha try being the mom of a girl selling them and having nearly 200 boxes in your house at one time! I only managed to polish off half a box of thin mints by myself. So far the kids have had them more often than I have and I always make sure to only give a serving size. We still have about 50 boxes left to sell and I'm…

I personally did the opposite of this. I started with the lose 2 pounds a week option because I had enough to lose that I could handle it. Then every week I would readjust my calories so that they slowly went down over time (10 calories every week or two depending on my total weight loss so far). When I got to the point…

I currently have the Pillsbury Doughboy on my screen and I know I haven't researched anything even remotely related to their products in ages. So saying that the ads that pop up are based on your own search history isn't always accurate though. I see plenty of ads for stuff that I've never looked for and in some cases,…

While it's personally not for me, as I start my laundry in the washer and then leave the house to go to the gym, I feel the concept behind it really isn't any different than all of those other stay at home work outs that are built around doing something else. Take the Harry Potter workout for example:

I usually eat Pure Protein bars, although they're more chewy and less crunchy like granola. The ones I had today was one of their smaller bars and it's 190 calories, 6g fat and 20g protein. They have larger bars that are 300 calories, 10g fat and 30g protein.

You are a remarkable and outstanding woman for doing what you did at your age and overcoming the stigma of being the fat, old, crippled lady in a wheelchair. Good on you for changing that!

First off, congratulations on your amazing success so far. Secondly, you make an adorable bumblebee. Finally, you are going to be completely stunning when you finally achieve your goal because you are already a beautiful woman.

I actually just went through their online CPT course with eteach (that's the one with the videos, quizzes, practice test and forums where you can speak to everyone else in your "class") and just need to select a date to take my exam after I study for it a little bit more. It's great to read from Leadfoot_Lewis that I need…

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 1/2 serving Nature Valley granola (the one with protein) 1/2 serving pomegranate arils (the inside of a pomegranate and you can buy it already seeded in a cup for less hassle) 1 packet of your choice of sweetener 305 calories and 22g protein (pretty good for no eggs!)

I would like to be considered for acceptance into the group as well. I started out at 303 lbs, lost 80-90 lbs in 2012 and have been struggling this entire year to lose even one single pound as I'm constantly up and down. I need the motivation to get back into the entire game of tracking what I eat (I've gotten so bad at…

Strength train. It'll help to build your muscles to make you burn more calories while you do your everyday things like sleeping, moving and breathing. It'll also help you to burn through the fat and create an appealing body shape without getting super bulky.

Does the derma roller hurt? I've been considering it myself but the idea of intentionally puncturing myself with all of those needles just does not sound appealing.

I would definitely suggest planning out your meals for the day as best you can. I understand that this can be hard to do when you're at a potluck and don't know what people are going to be bringing. If you can, ask around to see what people are going to bring so you can think about what you really want to eat more than…

I've got one that says "kicking your *kitten* one step at a time"

As far as I know, those are used in various classes that can be taught at gyms as well. I've never seen them just out in the gym though. Of course, my gym doesn't have a "women's weight area" either.

And this is why I find the one STORE that I like to shop at that has pants that fit me and I only buy from them. Screw trying to find pants at every other store in the mall. I like knowing that I can walk into the store, find my size in jeans in various cuts and KNOW that they're going to fit.

I think I've got you beat....Tribbles Rolling Timbers

I don't know how feasible it would be (as I've never tried it) but have you ever considered a Camelback hydration pack for this purpose? You just wear it like a backpack and the drinking hose is attached to the straps and hangs close to your head for easy access.

Greek yogurt?

I typically don't record marinades as it's impossible for me to tell exactly how much MY piece of meat has on it when I tossed it in a bag with a couple of other pieces and the whole bottle.

I've lost roughly 90 lbs and have been lifting weights for over a year now. Granted, the majority of that year was spent doing the machines and not actual free weights but I've started getting into those earlier this year. I love that I'm wearing a size of jeans right now that I last wore when I was 40 lbs lighter! Hooray…

I just eat Greek yogurt in order to help with my protein instead of adding protein powder. Plain Greek yogurt from Chobani is 140 calories and 23g of protein.

Well I've learned that you definitely need to eat in order to lose weight but that you need to eat right. You should also give yourself a few weeks of eating at your current calorie settings to give your body time to adjust. Yes you'll probably see a gain in the beginning but just give it time and it should start to come…

I just did most of this challenge (I stopped around the 190 squat mark because I just lost the motivation to do it) but I have to say that it didn't hurt nearly as bad as I thought it would. Of course I also alternated between regular squats and sumo squats every 10 squats so it wasn't just the constant same motion. I'm…

Are you planning on this being a long term change or just until after you've done your 5K?

Simon Pegg's already been in the series but that doesn't mean much as the actress that plays Martha Jones (her name is escaping me atm) was also in a previous episode, not as Martha Jones. It took me forever to warm up to Matt Smith after all the love that I have for David Tennat and even now I'm not really sad to hear of…

That made me laugh. OP, have you tried the little mosquito repellent clip on fan from Off? I used it on my walks to school last year and don't recall a single bite. Of course, I was walking and not running so the clip stayed on well and I've no clue how it would do with running.…

What's a unit?
