Make your case for your favorite oils here!
OK everyone, I want opinions, facts, research, whatever you can throw at me, but I am hoping to find some information on healthy oils! So spill it, what do you use, what do you use it for, and why?? Don't be shy, a good argument never hurt anyone (just please no name calling, haha!)

Tummy work
(cut & pasted from a previous "buried" post): So I'm doing really well at taking every potty break opportunity to sneak into the private room off the bathroom and do some ab work (1-3 minutes a couple times an hour.) My question is: Would it be more effective to change up what I do each time (what I'm currently doing) or…

Gut busting
I can't believe I'm posting this, but I have to do it!!! I am leaving for Maui in 37 days. :bigsmile: :sad: :love: :smokin: :glasses: :ohwell: These are all my feeling about this, because though I have been dedicated to the cause and doing exceptionally well by my own standards, I've got a gut that just does not want to…

Hooked on freezer jam!
My wonderful boss brought in a ton of raspberries from her yard last Thursday and we all made freezer jam (my first time!) We're on 10 hour days right now and it was a nice way to break up the day. :bigsmile: But as I'm sure most other people know, there is a TOOOON of sugar in that jam, and I have not been able to stay…

Is there a Dr. in the house??
Preferably one that works for free?? :laugh: OK, so this is one of those questions I am cringing at myself for asking, but I need some help. I am flat busted broke these days (not asking for sympathy, its my own fault) and can't stomach the thought of paying a $20 copay and taking the time from work to go to the doctor for…

Rinsing canned goods
Just wondering if anyone knows exactly how much sodium rinsing canned food (veggies, tuna, etc.) takes off?? TIA!

Oh dear!
So I posted in the "What's your Exercise?" thread my situation with my work schedule; I had a great routine going of running/walking 3 mornings a week and then walking to the YMCA during my lunch hour to do weights 3x/week. I broke a sweat during the lunchtime visits, but wore workout clothes so was able to "freshen up"…

ARGH on the sugar (again!)
I posted about this before, and I suppose I should just go to My Topics and revive it, but I am really getting frustrated with the sugar allowance!!! So two pieces of fruit is really too much in a day?? Two other questions: 1) How do you stay within the allowance of sugar?? (i.e. what do you eat/not eat, besides the…

The camera vs. the mirror
I've become fascinated with the "mental aspect" of losing unwanted pounds, and am interested in others' experiences: I've taken to taking pictures of myself each month this time around, even though I never want to because I'm "only" down 3-5 lbs each time, and am AMAZED at how much smaller I look in the pictures than in…

MAUI!!!! (talk about motivation!!!)
So last week, I found out my best friend from my school days is getting married in MAUI in late August. Miraculously this week, it looks like I'll be there to witness it! This is my first trip to Hawaii, and I am beyond excited and MOTIVATED to look as great as possible on those beautiful beaches!!! Any tips (fitness and…

Lookit 'er go!
Wow, I just saw my little ticker thingie in another post and was flabbergasted to see how close my running girl is to the halfway mark. Go girl, go!!! lol

What your workout fuel?
So, for years I've used my schedule as an excuse to skip working out, but I've finally figured out what really works and that is an early morning workout (1.5 hrs @ 5am) 2x/week and a lunchtime workout (1 hr) 3x/week (and sneaking in all the activity I can over the weekend). I cannot exercise without a little something in…

sugar sugar sugar
Apologies if this has been posted a billion times before, but I'm at work and don't have much time to research. I recently expanded the parts of my nutrition I was tracking on here to include sodium and sugar, and (no surprise) I've been waaaaaaaaay over on both. I concentrated on reducing the sodium and have already seen…

Ilness after weights?
I've noticed a pattern, and not sure what it means (if anything). But though I've been on a great exercise run (5-7 days a week for 13 weeks, 1-2 hours of varying combinations of weight and cardio), whenever I try to push myself on the weights, I get completely sick for days afterwards. Sometimes it's just feeling "off"…

Gee
Is posting here first a rule?? Hope not, don't want to start out on the wrong foot! :embarassed: I do have a newbie question though: Is there any way to adjust your starting weight on here, or is the weight you enter when you sign up your weight forevermore? I'd love to keep track of all the weight I've lost (makes me feel…
