Discovered Greek Yogurt
I'll be honest. I hated yogurt before. I tried to eat it because it was "good for me" but I just couldn't get it down. Even the yoplait ones and I tried mixing yogurt with granola and it just didn't appeal to me. For the past month I've been adding greek yogurt to my smoothies. I'd been using oikos and chobani. I'd just…

Would you switch gyms if this happened?
So I was going to planet fitness and it was great. Loved it. Then it got bought out by some other place and it was generally the same, they just painted the place horrible. Then they neglected the equipment but they've since fixed that. But more recently they have this personal training place running out of the gym. Okay…

Shoes for Zumba?
I recently started to do zumba regularly and I was wondering if anyone knew of some dancing shoes that were cheapish since the zumba ones are like $80, plus I'd rather be able to go try on a shoe somewhere rather than order one and hope it fits. Thanks!

Muffin Top Hiding Shapewear?
I was wondering if any ladies had ideas for hiding a muffin top or had tried anything that worked/didn't work. I had tried a kymaro but it just made me look like stuffed sausage and bigger than I actually was. Then I saw flexees by maidenform online and thought about trying them out. They only fit over your hips where your…

What works for one person might not for you!
I see so many people here giving advice and telling people they are wrong wrong wrong because they don't do things like they do, like they don't eat their calories back, or they do eat them back, or they don't have the same hrm they do. Giving someone suggestions on things they might try is great, but some people take it…

Natural allergy relief anyone?
I have been sick with what started as a sinus infection after a super windy day. But I've always had allergy issues. More since I moved to a climate that is more deserty with desert plants. I really hate having elevated blood pressure due to my allergy medicine and it is scary to think of what can happen if I keep taking…

Bunion Pain?
I have bunions. I think they are hereditary as my mom has them and I probably did not help the problem with the shoes I wore at work at my old job a couple of years ago. It's only recently that I have been getting bunion pain after a long work out or excessive walking. I bought some of those toe separators you put between…

Bumping up a blueberry smoothie nutrition?
I like blue berry smoothies and recently got a blender so I want to make my own. From what I noticed from smoothie places is that they have little to no nutrition and I want to add more in but I'm not sure of the best way how or most affordable way. I found a basic reciepe which I'll probably sub the milk/soy milk for…

Collasped Arch info I found :)
I have partially collapsed arches and I wanted to share some information I found at this link. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/flat-feet-treatment/#axzz1hiOKMozY Contrary to what I've been told, they suggest going barefoot more often to try and strenghten those muscles and doing exercises. I had been doing that, going…

JIllian on the doctors?
I love the show now that she's on it. I think it just made sense since they are always doing shows about how to lose weight, why not add a fitness expert? I was looking on facebook and stumbled across a hate page to get her off and one to keep her on. If you like her on it here it is.…

Jillian Michaels Books
Has anyone read any of her books? I have her cookbook. I like it, the only issue is that some of the ingredients are hard to find where I live now. I also have her "winning by losing"book. I'm still reading it. Good so far. Thoughts on them?

counting cals doesnt work
Apparently it doesn't work. I have been stuck at this plateau for months. 144-145. I work out, I've changed my work outs. I've tried eating less cals, I've tried eating my exercise cals. No change. Wtf am I doing wrong? I even eat way healthier food. I lost weight faster back when I ate crap and just busted my *kitten* on…

Plateau help ugh eat more or less?

More recently I have been doing Piloxing (pilates and boxing), jillian's killer buns and thighs, and her ripped in 30. I also do some strenght work outs from shape.com and daily…

Don't get "shape up toning"shoes:my story
So I thought they look cute in a spice girl kinda way. I had some of the original skechers shape ups and they were okay, no issues. I then got the running ones and the kinetex response ones (the ones kim kardashian wore in the ad). I wore the kinetex response ones 3 days a week, on a daily basis I didn't walk much as my…

Lean Cuisine Recs?
I'm starting to eat lean cuisines again as it's a busy time at the end of the semester plus the holidays coming up so I'm using them as lunches and dinners. I haven't really gotten them in awhile so I was wondering what ones people liked? I'm also collecting the codes inside :)

Weight Watchers Points Plus?
I have lost about half the weight I want to on my own, but I'm having some issues dropping the rest and I think it may be the foods I'm eating. I am thinking about trying weight watchers. I was wondering how much it costs and if anyone has had any success with it and if you would recommend it. Thanks!

Allergies <3
Okay I actually hate allergies. I live in Texas, an area hit very hard by the drought and I've never had worse allergies. When I took nothing I could hardly get any sleep at night and would get a sore throat due to post nasal drip at least once a month. Daily allergy forecasts are over 7. I take allegra d or claritin d. I…

Selling fitness dvds? Zumba
Does anyone know if places like hastings will buy fitness dvds that aren't sold in stores like zumba, p90x ect? I have the original set of zumba dvd's and never was big on it so I want to get rid of it while re-couping some of my losses.

Child-Free? Negativity from others?
I have always known I did not want children. In fact, I'm looking into getting sterilized. But when I tell some people about not wanting kids or wanting sterilization sometimes they look at me like I'm crazy or just act like it's the most absurd thing they ever heard. What really makes me mad is when people are…

I'm a bad friend for not help her stalk her ex? Rant
I recently tried to talk to a friend of mine since she unblocked me on facebook and kept coming up in that "people you may know" part and I was like "screw it i'm going to add her and ask why she blocked me" So I did. She said I wasn't a good friend because one time she came over and told me her ex lived nearby and wanted…
