Low Carb/High Fiber Treat?
I'm looking for a recipe for a treat- cookie, muffin, etc.... that is low carb and high fiber. I need to add more fiber, and I'm already baking myself low carb desserts, so if I could get the fiber in the treat, win win. :)

Looking for friends that are 40ish with about 10 lbs to lose
If you're 40ish, have about 10 lbs to lose, are dedicated and working hard toward that goal, and have an open food diary, I'd love to have you as a friend! I'm 41 (42 in another month and a half), have a little less than 10 lbs to go, have been working hard for a month both on diet and exercise, and log everything…

Best small, effective, butt/thigh equipment for at home
I try to get to the gym 4-5 days a week, but with winter's snow/ice, I get stuck at home more than I'd like. I'm looking for a piece of exercise equipment that I can use while I watch tv. It needs to be small, easily storable, and as effective as possible for toning butt and thighs (my main problem areas). Any suggestions?…

Exercising when you feel a cold coming on...
I'm in the prestages of getting a cold. Tired, achy, scratchy throat. Is it best to skip exercising until I feel better, or just suck it up and push through?

What should I eat before I exercise?
I'm not really sure what the best thing for me to eat before exercising is. I'm not weight lifting or anything like that (don't want to). Most mornings I will do 30 minutes at Curves, along with about 10 minutes of additional cardio and 10-20 minutes of additional butt or ab exercises thrown in there. A few times a week…

High Calorie Foods?
Many days I'm struggling to get to 1200 calories because I'm not hungry and I'm trying to not eat refined sugar or a ton of carbs (I'm not low carb by any stretch, though). I always have an ounce of nuts to help bump me up. But here I am, not hungry, knowing I need more calories, already had my almonds, and am at a loss!…

What "diet food" can you not live without?
For me, hands down, Yoplait Greek Yogurt either in Coconut or Honey Vanilla flavor with a small handful of almonds mixed in. Tried Chobani and didn't like it- too much of that soury/tarty yogurt taste that I don't like. I have never been someone who has liked yogurt (unless hubby mixes it into a smoothie), but when I was…

Staying Motivated
Hi everyone! I'm 41, 5'3", and have just become unmotivated. I've let 10 lbs creep up on me over the past couple of years. Seriously, for the past year I have said every week "I'm starting my diet this week!". My family just rolls their eyes at me now, because day 1 is generally as far as I get. I know that religiously…
