Potatoes-in-vinegar! Is this weird?
This is a family snack that my grandma started eating way before I was born and got the rest of us hooked. Yes, raw potatoes. You just dice 'em up and put 'em in apple cider vinegar with a little salt, pepper & a splash of water. DELISH. Does ANYONE else out there eat this? Haha. I always get such weird looks when I tell…

Squatting tips?
I am trying to complete a 30 - day squat challenge, and I can't seem to get my form right. I either can't keep my balance or feel like I am straining my back or something. I'm annoyed because it seems easy enough but I can't seem to get it right. Can anyone give me pointers? Am I the only person to struggle with this? I…

Itchy thighs when walking or jogging?
It NEVER fails. Whenever I set out for a solid walk or decent jog, and I hit my stride... My thighs start to feel like they are on FIRE. Itching so intense it brings me to tears. Any ideas what causes this? Perhaps it is a friction problem? Anyone else deal with this?

Dunkin Donuts caloric content?
Before you say it, yes. I checked the dunkin website, and the database here. Maybe it's just me, but the calorie count for a Medium Iced Mocha Swirl Latte with cream & sugar and whipped cream sounds very modest. It just tastes so good--too good to be <400 calories-- and is my one true guilty pleasure. But I need to know…

Morningstar farms coupons?
Just wondering if anyone knows any way to secure coupons for Morningstar Farms products-- They're SO yummy, but so expensive. Just hunted for a bit for an email address on the website to ask for some and came up empty. If anyone can help I'd SO appreciate it!

Healthy Coupons--
I don't know about y'all, but I am on a BUDGET-- but I still want to eat healthy. Recently I've started to hunt for coupons. The problem with mailers is that you get what you get and I only use a few if any of them. That's where my new favorite website comes in: The Coupon Clippers!…

HELP ME keep my dog off the furniture.
I have a 45 pound dalmatian/pit bull mutt who is almost always PERFECTLY behaved. Except for the fact that she thinks anything comfortable to lay on is hers. If I drop a sweater or pillow on the floor and forget to pick it up right away-- boom, she assumes ownership and it's covered in a million white hairs instantly. Now,…

Help! Traveling with camera, battery question.
My wonderful boyfriend bought me an Olympus TG-610 camera for my birthday in February and I love it. We are leaving tomorrow morning to fly to Kentucky to see his family for a week, and I'd like to bring my camera. However, I can't find anything online to help me with this-- does anyone know if the rechargeable battery in…

I need help from the manfolk.
This will be mine & my boyfriend's first V-Day. I want to get him something good and memorable, but not something over the top Hallmark-ish. My original idea was a memory box-- with mini scrapbook pages and photos and captions from major events, with room for more to come-- and some swanky lingerie for his enjoyment. He is…

Tell me your favorite good food & offer a recipe using it.
I hope this thread gets some attention. My new favorite food is AVOCADO. Not sure how I went 24 years without really trying it. I'm trying to find some recipes with it. I'm curious to know what food you guys can't live without. And if you have a recipe, please share!

Heartrate monitor watches.
I've noticed several times at Wal-Mart that they carry these watches that will monitor your heartrate and keep track of your calories burned when you work out. The packaging doesn't say how it tracks your heart rate without a chest strap of some sort, and I wonder how accurate they could be? They're between 30-50 dollars…

Just a tip to share before I forget!
Not sure what kind of exercise y'all do, but for me my big choice is biking. And that means being on there and pedaling for anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours depending on my motivation. I use Pandora on my phone as my radio, and while I am a huge fan of music to inspire me, I recently discovered the comedy stations on…

Seriously? (A grumpy, hungry rant.)
The boy and I made getting healthier out new year resolution. (I know, how cliche are we?!) And we have stuck to it! I have eaten very well-- always staying within my calories and have begun exercising daily again. I felt great! And then tonight while we were at my Moms we decided to weigh because we don't have a scale…

Holy crap: Eating healthy while eating out.
Boyfriend and I were wanting to go out to dinner tonight, and so I hopped online to look up nutrition menus for our favorite restaurants. Chili's was out, with nearly every palatable item (in my eyes) in the 1,000+ calories range. Outback Steakhouse wasn't much better. Olive Garden was just upsetting-- 150 calories for ONE…

I love grits!
But I love them with butter, tons of cheese, and bacon. I can't seem to find an accurate portrayal of the nutrition info of grits with all the good stuff added, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out? I'm willing to make changes-- like cutting way back on the butter and forgoing the cheese and bacon. But I was…

Grits vs. Oatmeal?

Slightly silly fruit cup question...
So on my Dole Fruit cups (pears) with 100% juice it says its 90 calories for the cup. Now, I don't drink the juice, just eat the fruit. Does that reduce the calorie content, you think? I know I'm splitting hairs. Just curious!
