Lifting gloves?
Hi ladies, can any of you recommend a good pair (brand/style) of lifting gloves? I've been getting wicked blisters on my palms, and while I think a little callusing is good, it makes it painful to lift the next workout and I can't go all out. My hands also get suuuper sweaty so it would help with that too. Thanks!

I Eat Raw Eggs
It’s not because I think they have any nutritional benefit over cooked eggs, or because I’ve seen Rocky too many times (I admit I’ve actually never watched it). I just like the taste and convenience. Before you say they are dangerous—I couldn’t agree more. That’s why I buy pasteurized eggs—this kills any salmonella and…

Creamy Cajun & Parmesan Noodles I whipped this together tonight on a whim and it turned out SO good! Big bowl o' noodles and only 100 calories... hard to believe. Ingredients: -1 package tofu shirataki noodles (40 calories) -Pan spray (I used an olive oil spray)-- just enough to coat pan (0 calories) -"I Can't Believe It's…

This ____ tastes a lot like _____.
This blueberry Greek yogurt with powdered peanut butter tastes a lot like a PB&J sandwich, but with way more protein and only 2 grams of fat :bigsmile: What are some other concoctions you can substitute for less healthy counterparts?

Where do you get it on?
Your cardio, that is. I prefer to run outside on trails, but I'm curious if other people jog on treadmills. Or maybe you do HIIT, or bike, or use an elliptical, or dance, or chase squirrels, or do something really cool I've never even heard of. So let's hear how you get your heart pumping--- I'm feeling the need to get…

All liquid diet for 10 days?
But not by choice! I'm getting my tonsils removed on Mon. and the worst of the horror stories I've read said it might be too painful to eat anything other than jello and liquids for up to 10 days... sounds awful, right? I've also heard people lose, on average, 10 lbs after this surgery-- I'm at goal weight and want to lose…

Unsolved Mysteries in Binge Eating Disorder
I stumbled upon this article today from the American Psychiatric Association. http://psychnews.psychiatryonline.org/newsArticle.aspx?articleid=1170374 I think it will be good if the disorder gets added to the official psychiatric diagnosis manual-- it would probably increase recognition among doctors and result in more…

Looking for other friends at GW
Hey there, I've reached my goal weight and am looking for more friends who are focused on overall improving fitness and athleticism more so than losing weight. Not that people still losing weight aren't trying to achieve those too, but I find it helps to have friends at the same point in the 'journey' as myself! Thanks :)

Food Thiefs
So I had a Trader Joe's frozen mac and cheese in the work fridge that I was saving for a rainy day. There's a group lunch and my coworkers are ordering pizza-- I said "I'll pass, I have something here. Don't order any for me." Lo and behold, I go to the freezer and someone has stolen my mac and cheese!!! >_< I literally…

Greek Yogurt Addiction o_O
I think I'm developing an addiction to Greek yogurt :P Okay not really an "addiction", but I love it! A consistent feature of my diet is at least one serving of Greek yogurt everyday. What's your favorite brand/flavor?

Any Exercises Awkward?
I don't know about you ladies, but I find squats super awkward because my thighs are sooo long! And "downward facing dog" in yoga comes to mind. I seem to form a pretty uneven triangle with legs 10 miles long. Plus I look pretty spiderlike doing certain things since I'm all limbs haha >.< Anybody else feel this way?

Advice Please-- Open Diary
Hi all, any advice would be really appreciated. I'm 22, female, 5'9" and 145 lbs. For about a month I was losing approximately a pound a week, numbers consistently going down on the scale, but I was generally eating less than what MFP was telling me to. Since the consensus seems to be eat back exercise calories, I started…

Just Started Working Out 1.5 Weeks Ago
Hi all, I just joined a gym and started working out a week and a half ago. Didn't really do any consistent exercise before, so everything fitness-related is new to me! I've been trying to eat much healthier and track my calorie, fat, etc. intake, where before I didn't really think about it. I just graduated from college…
