Let's talk shoes
I've always pretty much worn sneakers. This Winter I had to buy some warm boots, and with all my walking it destroyed the insole and the extra insoles I bought... in the Summer I wear New Balance sandals, which are awesome, but I'd like some casual shoes that are comfortable to walk in (and will last more than a couple…

Why do people cut cardio when lifting weights?
I keep seeing people post that they cut cardio when they started lifting weights... Why? If you're going to eat more to compensate for the cardio calories, why does it matter if you cut it? I'd like to understand.. I'm talking about people who are trying to lose weight too. I would think being able to eat more to make up…

Still obsessed with food
I've always loved food, but I used to just eat whatever I wanted when I wanted... pretty much all my life. No set meal times, I was hungry or was craving something, I'd just have it. So I've always pretty much been a snacker. Now that I can't eat as much... I just think about food all the time. It's not boredom (I could be…

Any woman happy with 23-25% body fat?
I'm still not happy with how I look. I still have a bit of a muffin top, but that's my genes unfortunately and the last place I lose. I have a couple rolls in my back that have to go. I still have a belly... but it's mostly loose skin at this point. Bottom line... I'm still planning on losing 7 lbs, but I don't think I'll…

I've done strawberry cheesecake (cheesecake…

Your favorite pancake recipes?
I love my protein pancakes but sometimes I want to make pancakes for my family too, and they don't like the texture. My husband's pancakes are delicious but just way too many calories for me, as I'm hungry an hour later (it's 100 calories a pancake or something). So I'm looking for an alternative that is filling, still…

High protein sweet breakfasts around 300-400 calories?
I like sweet breakfasts, but I'm getting bored with my regular stuff (pretty much oatmeal with protein powder, protein pancakes, sometimes overnight oats but those don't fill me up much for some reason)... Ideas?

Hats off to those of you living with your parents
My mom is visiting. And oh man. Ok she was pestering me about my weight for years. Then was all happy I was losing. She saw me 16 lbs ago and said I looked fine (I was still 6 lbs in the overweight category then). And now she's trying to sabotage me. Saying I look good and shouldn't lose more... Saying 'but it's really…

My turn! 1 year, 75 lbs
It is time :laugh: That was me at my highest... December 2012. We have that family picture framed in the living room, thinking about hiding it somewhere, but it's a good reminder, isn't it? Me now... 8 lbs from goal. Might go down a bit under if I ever get there. I'd say 2013 was a pretty good year.

where do you buy sweat pants?
I need new ones... I got a couple a couple months back that fit great, but they have polyester in them and it's just too warm for the gym. I don't want compression pants either... just lightweight sweat pants... and not too long. I have average legs, but for some reason when I tried some Nike sweats at the outlet they were…

Nature box question
I got the groupon deal last week and I'm waiting for my first box, but the site totally confuses me. It says the order is processing and will ship on the 13th (of February, lol). I've picked my snacks and they still show on the left side. Customer service told me it's normal that it takes a while to process the first time,…

Skinny people who think they know better...
So I just got into an argument online with some skinny woman who's never had a weight problem in her life basically saying that all I know about weight loss is wrong and I'm giving horrible advice. Gotta love it.. We all know someone like this, don't we?
