Coconut Butter
I just recently bought and received my first jar of Nikki's Coconut Butter. Has anyone ever tried it before? When I got it this morning, it was frozen!! The UPS guy didn't ring the bell so I had no idea it was out there. Anyway, I left it on the counter to come to room temp and it's still very hard, more like coconut oil.…

question of confidence for other women
I started reading NROLFW and tonight I went to the gym with intentions of starting to work with weights. I'm nervous, anxious...I can't seem to make myself feel comfortable using weights when no other women are. Where do I start? I'm so self-conscious. It seems the only people that use the weights (or machines for that…

Hard time losing
I'm trying to figure out exactly how I'm going wrong. My MFP says I should eat around 1500 cals. When I joined a year ago, I followed very closely to those goals. I lost about 20lbs and then stopped. Around holiday time I fell into the slump a lot of people fall into, over-indulging. I gained back 13lbs. I got sad and took…

Oil Pulling
I didn't know what heading to put this under, but does anyone on here participate in oil pulling? Can you tell me about it? I've heard a lot of people that believe in non-trad medical remedies or paleo diet are into this.

Going out
I'm absolutely terrible about going out to eat, I find it's just easier. I love to cook but hate to clean (yes, I'm lazy...what of it?!) I've noticed that a lot of my friends and others on here had the same issue. How did some of you kick your going out to eat habit?

Frustrations with friends
I have people who are on my friends list and I look through their diaries and in one day they will have Cinnabon, full sugar sodas, half a happy meal with a candy bar and nothing else. They are under their calories, but eat nothing healthy at all. Do you any of you comment on your friends' bad eating by mentioning it and…

NSV FOR ME!!
Over the past couple of weeks I've started to notice a few things.... I've lost 17lbs which is really exciting I had to start using 8lb weights in aerobics class because the 5lbs were no longer heavy enough (I started at 3lbs) I can stand with my legs together easier than I could before I can see the outline of a collar…

Thoughts on protein shakes
Hey everyone. I'm still kind of new to this world of actually exercising and am hearing a lot of hullabaloo about protein shakes. What are some goods brands and flavors and how do you all feel about them in general? Are they good? How do you make them good? When and how do you use them?

Headaches
About 2 years ago I took at yoga class at school and anytime we would do work on the floor (laying down) I would get these terrible migraine-type headaches when I would sit up. They would happen when I would try to sit up (the correct way, rolling to the side and all that) and would only last a minute or two, but they…

Overages
At the end of my days, very often, I'm way over on protein. Is that terribly detrimental if I'm still good on calories and everything else? I thought it's probably better to be over on protein than carbs or fat. Is this true?
