Elliptical results?
Hello all! A few days ago, we purchased our very own elliptical machine (a Livestrong 10.0E). It's been much too hot this summer to jog or run outside and I don't like working out at the gym (not a fan of working out in front of people, plus I hate getting in my car when I'm sweaty!). I was just wondering when I could…

Tahitian noni juice?
Does anyone have firsthand experience with Tahitian noni juice? An acquaintance of mine spoke highly of its health benefits, but also advised to only buy it from the original sellers of it (whoever that may be)--otherwise it's not organic and has a bunch of additives, etc. I'm pretty skeptical (I'd rather eat whole fruit…

Amazon deal on Wonderful Pistachios!
If you're a fan of pistachios, Amazon has 32-oz. bags of Wonderful Pistachios for $13.82...or $11.75 if you use the Subscribe & Save option (you can cancel the subscription later and still enjoy the couple bucks off--it's what I do!). Pistachios are one of the best nuts for weight loss because you have to work to unshell…

Advice from handy MFPs needed!
My boyfriend and I recently bought an old house that needs some TLC, and one thing we'd like to tackle this spring is ripping out the old homemade fence and replacing it with a new one. Here's a picture of the fence: The wooden boards/railroad ties are rotting; the gate is broken; and it's flat out ugly. We're wanting to…

3 years of holiday party pics!
Sometimes I have a difficult time *seeing* that I've lost weight, but after looking at pictures from this year's holiday party and comparing them with the previous two years I can tell that I've come a long way. I'm not finished with my weight loss journey, but actually being able to see my progress has given me a bit of…

Target Metabolism Weight Loss...anyone?
Have any of my fellow Hoosiers heard of the business Target Metabolism Weight Loss? All I know about them are their annoying radio ads ("test your metabolism...lose weight...earn massages"), but I'm considering checking into them more if anyone here has had positive results with them. MFP alone is not working for me…

So I have this gluten allergy...
...and I just found out yesterday. Really, it makes sense when I think about other health issues I've been having. But here's the hard part: I'm a vegetarian and have been since the age of 5, so my diet is now uber restricted. Does anyone have any advice or tips they could share with me? I'm kind of at a loss. I will say…

Opinions on Vega products?
I read about the Vega Whole Food Health Optimizer (http://myvega.com/products/whole-food-health-optimizer/features-benefits) in a recent issue of Vegetarian Times. It seems to be super nutritious--albeit pricey, I know--but I'm wondering how it tastes. Does anyone have any experience with this or any of the other Vega…

Protein-packed vegetarian-friendly snack!
A few months ago, my doctor was on me about not getting enough protein in my diet. I've been a vegetarian since age 5 and my parents didn't always know how to cater to a vegetarian's unique dietary needs, so low protein is something I've struggled with for quite some time. With that in mind, my doctor told me about a snack…

Little monster too excited to eat!
So Lady Gaga was at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Thursday. All day I was shivering with anticip...ation. I had a hard time eating the few things I did eat that day, and now I'm still having a hard time eating. I'M JUST TOO FRIGGIN' EXCITED, STILL! haha. This was my second Lady Gaga concert and it was FABULOUS.…
