Oral Allergy Syndrome.. HELP!
Due to my severe seasonal (more like year round) allergies, I am extremely sensitive to many fruits such as apple, strawberry, blueberry, peach, kiwi, etc. as well as tree nuts.

Heart rate monitor
I'm thinking of investing in a cheap HRM for my workouts since I don't quite trust the calorie estimate on the cardio machines at my gym.

I know nobody probably gives a hoot, but I'm REALLY proud of myself! I was that one person who HATED the gym and found EVERY excuse not to go.. too tired was mostly my excuse.

1200 Calories
I know that eating 1200 calories is not the most recommended plan, however I seem to have had success with that plan (not anymore.. haha). I've recently added exercise to my plan and the scale hovers around 185/186/187, with no real loss. It's quite frustrating, because I don't know if it's because I'm eating too few…

New to gym, help!
I posted a topic a few weeks ago about my hatred for the gym. Many of you suggested home workouts (while those work for some people, I just simply won't do them if I can't get my *kitten* out of the house and somewhere where I'm more motivated) The gym just discourages me in the sense that I have no clue what I'm doing.…

Almond milk expiration?
So I bought a container of Almond Breeze unsweetened vanilla almond milk about 2 weeks ago. I just noticed that youre supposed to use 7-10 days within opening. Would the milk going abd be obvious by smelling it like regular milk? Or does it usually last a little longer..

feeling a little defeated
So, as of this morning, I've lost 6.4 pounds since April 1. However, I can't really tell the difference in my body except for my lower back. I try my best to go walking everyday (as I HATE the gym).
