obstacle race prep?
Is anyone else doing the Spartan Race this year? Has anyone done it (or any 5Kish obstacle course race) in the past? This will be my first attempt come June, I'm trying the sprint. I'm wildly excited and I love prep work …. Suggestions greatly appreciated!

My NSV belongs to someone else
Just wanted to share this… My 58 year old mom has been my best friend, my soul mate, my favorite person for my whole life. She's the prototype! I talk to her everyday, and today I shared with her how great I feel now that I'm paying attention to lowering carbs, getting more protein, being committed to my running…she was…

FRIES, but (not) fries
Does anyone else love this process? Taking non-potato veggies and making them fries and finding the perfect dip for them? Tonight I'm doing white turnip fries and thinking of making a chipotle/ancho spicy yogurt dip. NOM NOM NOM

9 POUNDS OF WATER?!?! No way, right?
Diary is open…nothing to hide, I'm a diligent logger. My last weigh in was a few days ago and I was 123 lbs. For some reason I got on the scale this morning (even though I typically wait 5-7 days between weigh ins) and it said 132 which is pretty insane difference. I def had a couple of cheat meals (Sunday was a bit…

Oscar bodies lets judge
Just kidding lets not. BUT. I did notice that once I was sitting with a group of people (good friends…3 women, 2 men) watching the awards show, we talked so much nonsense about their bodies! "Her boobs look bigger" "She def had work done" "Does she eat?" "He looks about 100 years old" Granted, everyone at my house watching…

Yum, look at all these CHIIIIICKS!!
I love when high traffic sites have recipe collections, especially when they actually look interesting and yummy. And also: protein. Protein. We are always asking about protein on here, no? http://www.buzzfeed.com/deenashanker/new-ways-to-eat-chickpeas

I can't believe no one is talking about this
Domino Light. Sugar Stevia mix. You use half the amount. For example, banana nut bread calling for a cup of sugar…only use half a cup of Domino Light. That makes a huge caloric difference! I'm all over it. My diary is about to have a lot more PASTRIES AND COOKIES IN IT, BABIES.

I need the know-it-alls for this one please help me!
Hey everyone, I was committed to MFP a couple years ago, then I stopped (thinking I was 'finished')... I'm back now, 90 days logged, feeling great. BUT. Once I got under 130 lbs 3 weeks ago, I stopped losing weight. I've been hovering at 129, on a random day it will say 128.6 or something irritating like that :) Does…

This muffin is filled with crack
So its a spiced pumpkin zucchini muffin with chocolate chunks. It's THE BEST. I made a double batch, half as muffins, half as a single layer cake, nothing on top. It's gone, and now I smell it in my dreams. Making it again this week :devil: It has less butter, less sugar, and more nutrients than anything else I've had…

Mysterious numbers!!!
I'm a pretty athletic female, 30 years old, about 5'6, currently 129 lbs. I set my goal to 117 pounds and I have no idea why i chose that number. At my wedding two years ago I was a very FIT 124 lbs I believe and I looked awesome. All the ladies were like "WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING YOUR BODY IS GREAT!!!" And I felt that way…

Is Nike playing a prank on my feet?
So. I'm not a Runner, just a sort of runner... Meaning as a part of my gym regimen I run 2 miles a day on the treadmill and speed walk on max incline and throw in side shuffling. Anyway, I'm having a huge issue with sneakers. I have always worn Nike because a friend works for their design team so I got freebies. But they…
