Dealing with Triggers
I have faithfully been logging in for a week and had been excited to get to the gym this past weekend. Saturday came and just as I was about to leave my house, I got hit with bad news like a ton of bricks. My father in law has stage 4 colon cancer. I lost both of my parents less than 10 years ago and he's been my "father"…

Team Beachbody Overrated?
OK this topic might be a little old and dated but I haven't been on in quite awhile. I have a couple of friends that just joined TBB as coaches and trying to push this 3 Day Refresh down my throat. While a 3 day challenge is exactly what I need, why does it have to cost so dang much? What are some other alternatives?

Fitness Shoes for Weak Soles
Let's be honest. It's been years since I really dedicated to getting more exercise in. In fact, lately the only arm curls I have been doing are wine glass curls. I just enrolled in our community program for Total Body Blast that is cardio that includes kickboxing, Pilates, and weight lifting. I'm a bit nervous because I…

Reflexology
Had my first reflexology session today. Best damn foot rub I ever had for the same cost of a pedicure. I've been having foot/arch pain in my right foot for a month now (along with other issues) and hoping it brings relief. However, my foot hurts like a mofo (the massage itself actually hurt quite a bit) and I feel like I…

Foodies/Restaurant Owners-Off Topic
Most of my friends know that we are a vendor at our local farmers market. Currently we only sell produce plants, produce when it comes bountiful, fruit leather bites, bread crumbs, croutons, potato chips (we make the night before). This is our first time doing this. We live in Buffalo New York..home of the chicken wing. We…

Kidney Stones-Men Only
I usually don't post in threads but thought I would this time so I can get feedback....primarily from men. If any women have suffered, please feel free to chime in. I just want to better understand what my husband is going through right now. My husband is currently trying to pass a kidney stone. While he's passed some in…

Pure Garcinia Cambogia with Super Colon
So I am not one to buy hype in "magic pills in a bottle" because I believe it's really hard work and healthy choices that provide sustainable results. But I did see this on TV (with Christina Ag) and read all the positive reviews of this combination and wanted to get your feedback. I do believe there are miracle…

Jessica Simpson GMA
I just started Weight Watchers on 1/2/14 as an ancillary means to help with my weight loss goals with MFP. I am very pumped to be part of the program because it's more involved (meetings) and encourages accountability. Did anyone watch this morning's Good Morning America edition featuring Jessica Simpson and her weight…

Here we go again..
Isn't it ironic how the start of every year, everyone seems to have the same resolutions that are so cliche? Lose weight, eat smart, get stronger. Only to fail miserably weeks, months sometimes days in. I know, I have been there. Done that. Bought the t-shirt. I have had my fair share of MFP hiatuseses (due to personal…

Applied Kinesiology..Hocus Pocus?
Anyone ever get a Total Body Analysis done through a holistic approach to help rid your body of what makes it not optimal? I had my first TBA today and learned alot about applied kinesiology. What are your thoughts? Hocus Pocus or not?

Raw Milk...Thoughts?
So this morning I tried my first cup of grass-fed organic cow's milk...raw. I have to say I really liked it! Not much different than the whole milk I have been used to drinking. I know there's controversy surrounded by consumption of raw milk, but I'd like to get your thoughts on it.

Chia Seeds..
I bought chia seeds at the farmers market today. Now what? What do I do with them?

Pretty off topic...
I didn't know where else to post this but figured I'd post here to see where this may lead. Five years ago today, I lost my twin brother to a drunk driving accident; he was riding his bike home from work (he didn't know how to drive as he was a little slow) and he was hit by a repeat offender. Back then, I was asked to…

Feel free to share anything you want as long is it's not offensive in any nature. I am looking for recipe swaps, excercise ideas/techniques, naturual remedies, and…

Link Placement Specialist?
I was poking around on LinkedIn looking at different job opportunities in my area and on the side bar, I clicked an ad to "Work from Home". I found this. http://profitwebsystem.com/pmaangela97/congratulations.aspx I am not one to buy into work from home schemes but after reading this, it makes me want to try it, heck it's…

Hip Hop Abs Sucking Me In..
I've never done Insanity. In fact, I've watched the first DVD the whole way through and got anxiety just watching it! However, now that I am going to be a stay at home mom I will have time to FINALLY get back in shape NO EXCUSES Hip Hop Abs is on sale for $20. Should I get it? I do yoga twice a week and no cardio really…

Lifting for Dummies
Now that I will be having some time on my hands, I really want to focus on my transformation with strength training. Cardio is cardio. I know how to get that in. I need to work on my core and want to know a little bit more about lifting; especially for beginners. I used to lift when I was in my younger 20s but 15 years…

Ultimate Reset
I already know that the body cleanses itself and detoxifies on its own. But anyone ever try Ultimate Reset? If so what were your thoughts? I am just trying to understand the science behind it as to why it costs so dang much.

My Story
Hi All! I have been hesitant to share my story for the longest time but feel it is time to open up so I can get perspective and realize that I am not the only person out there who suffers from what I go through and no one understands. I am seeing a new GP and went for my physical and got the results of my blood work today:…

Core/Upper Body Training
I only in week 4 of yoga (I go twice a week) and even though I have gotten a bit more flexible, I'm still having a hard time doing some of the poses, even some of the basic poses. When we do a series of sun salutations I am good for the first couple but by the end of the class, I can barely even do downward dog. And…

Social Media
Anyone else finding themselves not using Facebook as much since MFP? Finding it to be stupid with all the dang wall feeds and marketing. I'm using this site more along with LinkedIn.

Hot Water & Lemon
Trying a new morning ritual since I've read many health benefits: Upon waking, I'm drinking hot water with juice of half a lemon and letting the lemon sit in the water. I know water and lemon is good for you but not sure I understand the reason behind "hot/warm" water and "first thing in the morning" thing. Does anyone…

evamor water
Evamor water is now my drink of choice. Many people may say that alkaline water is a bunch of hype and "bottled water is bottled water". I have to say, I can tell a difference in taste; it tastes better. Lots of people think water doesn't have taste, but it sure does. I have 3 different water bottle kinds and each one has…

Bummed Out
I know what I am about to post is probably something you have all seen and probably tired of hearing. I can't wrap my head around all these diets/cleanses/drinks/supplements that help in not only weight loss but a different way of life. I have been struggling for the past two months. I thought I had lost 8 lbs (according…

Team Beach Body
I am not sure if this has been asked already (which it probably has), but has anyone heard of, or a part of, Team Beach Body? A friend of mine is a coach on it and invited me to the site. It seems a bit overwhelming and even though it's a free site to join, there is a membership component. Looks like it supports a ton of…
