Vacu-Step Butt Vacuum Elliptical?
Has anyone tried the Vacu-Step Butt Vacuum Elliptical? http://www.mademoiselleokc.com/North-Location-Page.html I mean, just reviewing it online, I would've thought it was a joke, but apparantly it is a real machine available at this gym. I guess you wear a rubber skirt then get into the elliptical and creates an air-tight…

WOMEN'S *kitten* SIZE STUDY...
There is a new study about women and how they feel about their *kitten*... the results were pretty interesting: 30% of women think their *kitten* is too fat. 10% of women think their *kitten* is too skinny. The remaining 60% say they don't care, they love him, he's a good man and they wouldn't trade him for the world...

Fancy Cheese Dessert?
Please help me not sound stupid. My boss wants me to order a cake for a retirement party. He was saying the name of something, but being the uncultured swine I am, I have no idea what. What I wrote down was cheese "encridete". We're kind of up in the air, wanting to know what would be the best cake and a good price, he…

GAPS Diet?
Is anyone on GAPS Diet? I'm Primal/Paleo (in theory, don't look at my diary today, it has sushi all up in it) and have been learning how to bake without using normal flour due to a gluten intolerance. Well, sadly, I've learned through trial and error and lots of tummy aches that I also have quite the intolerance to…

Paleo Pumpkin Spice Cookies
The boyfriend wants them. I want to make a double batch and pretend I only had enough ingredients for a dozen. :blushing: How do I make them?

Favorite Paleo Dessert?
So... long before I ever learned to cook right, I was quite an accomplished baker. I used to make really good baked treats. I'm actually better at baking than cooking, you just wouldn't know it because in 2012 I stopped eating gluten and started this never-ending diet. I could have lived on a simple gluten free diet, but I…

Sam's Club Krill Oil
Ew! Don't take that Mega Red Krill Oil from Sam's club. I opened a sample from the machine and ew! That "No Fish Oder" on the label is extreme false advertising. This is so gross! My office smells like rotten fish now! :embarassed:

Help me with this Interview Question!
I have a big interview today at 4:00pm. Woot! Go me! But I always inevitably get asked this question. How do you answer it? "What is your greatest weakness?" Because a truthful "fiddling on my cell phone instead of paying attention" will probably NOT win me the job. Please help and thank you in advance! :flowerforyou:

IIFYM vs. low-carb vs. primal blueprint
Hello! My lovely IIFYM friends on MFP gave me 8 levels of grief for following a low-carb diet this year. That sucked so I quit doing it. So today I was looking over this http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ and it set my carbs at 40. I'm not sure if I'm doing the math correctly, though. I'm 5ft 7 1/2. Weight: 180 - 182 body…

Jicama Slaw is one of my favorites that just pop in my mind, and she might really enjoy an exotic Jicama, and I can make a ton of it ahead of time and it tastes fine…

Intake Vs. Output
Does anyone wish they could zero out a little scale underneath the toilet so you can measure how much ounces of pee or poop you made? I mean, wouldn't it be interesting to track you total input and output?

Evening Primrose Oil vs. Weight Fluctuations
So... anyone who knows me knows that my weight spikes on Monday morning and I totally freak out, despite any sort of extreme efforts put in over the weekend.

Hand Pain from Lifting?
I've started lifting more and more. I've been increasing reps and using gloves. Since then, I've got some pain in my right hand. It kind of hurts to type in my job, and it seems to be around the right knuckles. The motion that hurts worse is moving the fingers, and spreading them out to hold hands with my boyfriend. I just…

What am I doing wrong?!?!
Hey MFP. I've been stalled out in the 180's since the end of January. I can't figure out how to get it to budge. I averaged out my calories per day over the last five weeks, it came to 1,733 on average daily. I weigh and measure religiously, so without very rare exceptions the entries should be accurate. I log everything…

Video of me Online
So... someone in our sword group posted a video of me sparring online. Usually I'd be horrified at the blubbery rolls flapping everywhere while my multiple chins served as a good defensive sheild, but nothing really bounced except my boobs. I actually looked decent in the video. A bit bloated, but no visible workout…

Jillian Michaels Single/Married/Satanic?
Ok... This isn't the first time the boyfriend and I have wondered a little too hard about the private life of our favorite fitness celebrities.

Greek Yogurt Cucumber Dill Veggie Dip
So... I found this Greek Yogurt Cucumber Dill Veggie Dip at Aldi. I got it home to find less than 1 carb and 30 calories per two tablespoon serving.

ADD/AADD/Asperger's/Autism
My boyfriend is "furious" at me because it rained last night and his car leaked rain on his weight sets. He said it's my fault because I triggered his ADD. He said "Don't you dare try to blame this on me when you triggered my ADD." I didn't touch his car, go near his car, open or close any doors or the trunk. I love him…

My boobs hurt so bad!
Ok, this is cross posted from the keto group, but there are some really smart cookies in here and I'd like feed back from them who aren't in the keto group. So...

Help with my boobs!
So... I think I have this: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003153.htm not "a lump." A good thing is that symptoms should go away soon and not come back until next month. Unfortunately, it's saying that high-fat diets and caffeine cause this, and I'm finally having the success I've been looking for with my…
