Blender help! Nutribullet, ninja, or other?
So I accidentally spilled dishwashing liquid all over the motor of my knock off magic bullet. Sad! I'm in the market for a new blender now, but I'm intimidated by the variety and price range of blenders. My needs: -withstand daily use (I make shakes with ice and like the ice to be well blended/no chunks) -easy to…

Pumpkin spice Muffins! Easy!
I made these today. The plan was to have 24 muffins at 88 calories a pop.... However, I only had one muffin tray and I filled the first 12 too full. So I yielded 18 muffins total at 117 calories each. Oops! Preheat over to 350F Mix together 15 oz of canned pumpkin, 4 oz unsweetened applesauce, and 1 box of spice cake mix.…

How long will fajita veggies last in fridge? Or how can I freeze them?
Hi everyone! My meal prep this week is chicken fajita bowls (shredded salsa chicken with fajita veggies). The chicken is currently cooking in the crock pot and I am going to be making the veggies shortly. Will they keep from tonight until Friday in the fridge or do I have to freeze them? If I do end up freezing them, so I…

Apartment exercises/workout videos that won't disturb the neighbors?
Hi everyone! I just got back to school for the year and I went for a run and it was just too dang hot in Missouri to do more than 2 miles without feeling like I was dying. I do indoor cycling at the Rec a few times a week, but I'm looking for something I can do inside my apartment on days I don't go to cycling.…

I'm a grad student and I log daily in between my hectic schedule! Feel free to add me for more motivation as I could use some more people in my news…

30 day shred - some questions for people who are familiar with it.
Hey everyone! First of all, sorry if this question has been asked before. I use the app and I do the search function, but I just find pages and pages of "June 2012 30 day shred group" etc rather than information about it. So I'm thinking about trying this out beginning next week after my vacation this weekend. I have read…

Any recipes/ideas for meals or snacks with large portions but don't kill your calories?
I love eating! I've been pretty disciplined with portions now, but sometimes I just want to eat more (not that I'm eating portions such that I'm still hungry - I just like eating!). Before I made a lifestyle change, I would always have seconds and sometimes even thirds. It is just very satisfying to be full! Some of the…

Treadmill and weight loss: HIIT, walking, climbing, or what?
Hi experienced people: I've got about 45pounds left to lose from my initial 75 pound weight loss goal. I started out just doing strictly cardio (walking/jogging outside and spinning, which I loved). I started to add in some body weight training through the 30 day shred. I got quickly bored of the shred because it was the…

I drink a ton of club soda and I think that's okay!
I switched from drinking rum and cokes to vodka club sodas with lime. I loved the club soda so much I have been drinking it a ton (without the vodka) with fresh lime. I will have several glasses per night rather than water because I'm a snob and I don't like the water that comes out of the fridge at home. Club soda is…

What else can you make in individual ramekins besides this amazing looking Reuben recipe?
In one of my late night Pinterest ventures, I happened across this recipe that looked amazing! I did not know that those little baking dishes are called ramekins, but you learn something new everyday. How classy! Literally the day after I pinned that, I went to an estate sale across the street and found 4 individual…

Protein powder for baking: Does brand matter?
I'm trying to incorporate more protein into my diet. Additionally, there are several recipes I want to try for homemade snack bars and low carb "cloud bread" that call for vanilla whey protein. A quick Amazon search gives me a wide variety of choices and types of vanilla (French vanilla, vanilla cream, vanilla cake). I'm…

The fat loss and muscle burning paradox: where do I go from here?
Hi everyone! Sorry if this question either makes no sense or is stupid. I got myself really confused reading a bunch of other posts in here. I've lost nearly 30 pounds and I have about 46 more to go to reach my goal of 150. I'm 5'7" and female. I understand weight is just a number so obviously if I feel fine at 160, I'm…

Why am I craving sweet foods that I never cared too much for in the first place?
I just found this kind of odd! I have been at this for a few months and doing relatively well. It's the longest time by far that I've been committee to healthy eating. Since a few weeks into my diet, I'll go through these days where I just crave sweet things like donuts or pancakes. I'll legit just fantasize about going to…

What do you eat with hard boiled eggs?
I would like to get more into eating hard boiled eggs because they are cheap and easy to make in bulk and take around. I get bored of just eating them plain. Sometimes I like a little salt and pepper, but I'm wondering if anyone is more creative than me and has some suggestions! Thank you in advance!

I have the Fitbit charge HR. Is the Fitbit blaze worth it?
I have had the Fitbit charge HR for over a year now and I love it! I think the Blaze looks so cool and I have been thinking about "treating myself" since I finished my first year of law school without spontaneously combusting from stress. Then I can give my HR to my sister so she can do Fitbit stuff with my mom and me :) I…

Alcohol, caloric deficit, and weight loss. Simple or not so simple?
I'm planning on heading home for the summer soon and while I'm excited, I'm also a little nervous. I tend to drink a little more over the summer - definitely a couple drinks a couple nights a week. I mainly do vodka club soda now as it is low cal and refreshing. If I just budget my calories on days that I do drink so that…

Stew meat for something that isn't stew.Can I use stew meat for beef stir fry? Will it be too tough?
I am a young adult still learning all the tricks of cooking and the ins and outs without my mom. I am so sick of beef stew, but I have two more packages of stew meat in my freezer that has to be eaten before I move back home for the summer in 3 weeks. I want to try making stir fry with zucchini noodles, but I'm worried the…

Best Greek yogurt for sour cream in burritos?
I'm a huge sour cream lover in my burrito bowls and on Mexican food in general. I have heard Greek yogurt is a great substitute- what brand and type of yogurt should I buy to fool myself into thinking I'm eating a burrito with sour cream? Taste is more important than texture to me. I'm not sure if I should buy fat free…
