Ab work - do you do it?
I'm a 57 yr old female who's always had a big belly (no kids). Even in my late 40's at my best fitness level I had a 2 liter, not a 6 pack kind of belly. Apple to the core. ha I used to run, lift and do tons of ab work, still had a big belly - and yes, I know abs are made in the kitchen. I considered myself at goal at the…

Turkey soup..what are your favorites?
My sister cooked a 22lb turkey yesterday. I got to take home the carcass but not much meat. I plan on making stock today or tomorrow. What are some of your favorite soup add ins? Grains, beans and or seasonings? Thanks!

Baking with splenda or stevia??? Please...
Please tell your guests that you are using artificial sweeteners. I'm not 'allergic', however, I do get stomach cramps because of artificial sweeteners. Some people want to 'surprise' their guests by baking lo-cal, but not everyone loves it. My family uses real sugar and I didn't think about asking. Had some pie at a…

Do you own a Taylor Food Scale? Opinions please
I have a Target gift card and need a new food scale and Taylor is the only brand they sell. But they have a few negative reviews. Like it / hate it? Thanks!

Picture a day - who's done it? Did it help?
I love seeing those 2 or 3 minute videos of people's progress by using either a picture a day or a one second video a day. I've been up and down these last few years and really getting tired of it. Yes, I know motivation is fleeting and discipline is necessary. Just thought this might be something that helps. For…

Clutter and messiness - is it related to overeating?
I've never been the best at housekeeping, but in the past (I'm 55 yrs old), I did maintain an ok household, not the best, but I cleaned up every week and did my dishes each night. Over the past few years, yes years, I've noticed that I'm a messy person. I haven't washed the floors in a few months, but I've swept. My…

100 Days remaining til 2018 - what's your goal?
Only 100 days left in 2017, I feel like it just started! Since February I've gained back a few pounds, so my goal is to be back in the 180's, strength training consistently 3 times a week, eating my vegetables (3-5 servings a day) and running 2 or 3 times a week. And I'm not expecting perfection - I would be happy with…

Have you made seitan from scratch?
I purchased a bag of Bob's Vital Wheat Gluten. The price of pre made seitan is kind of high - over $3 for a 6 oz container, so I thought I'd make it myself. The directions seem pretty easy, just wondering if you've done it and have any hints. Do you boil it in plain water or add soy sauce & molasses? Do you put seasoning…

My workout clothes stink! Help!
I launder my workout clothes pretty often - usually the same day I wear them. And no I don't use them for more than one workout. But they really stink. Once I start sweating, I have some serious body odor. I do morning workouts, so taking a shower first seems silly, but I have done it. I know I should replace some of my…

Get dressed and go workout!
That's what I'm telling myself... Get off the laptop and get to the gym before it's too late and work starts. I'm a bit of a procrastinator and can find time in the morning for all kinds of things, today it's the gym. Off I go!

Lentil question
I love lentils. Both green and red. A lot of recipes say to cook the lentils in water in one pan, and saute your onion, garlic and spices in another. Then add them together. Is there a reason to use 2 separate pots? Why can't I saute the onions, etc, then add uncooked lentils and water until it's done? Thanks! Currently…

Why haven't you filled out the "about me" "why I want to get in shape" "My Inspiration"??
I'm always puzzled by people who don't fill out the profile section. Especially when you want new friends. I want to know your history or what your motivation for weight loss might be. Thoughts?

Discipline not Motivation
I was on Reddit recently in their get motivated section... And I read someone's response to "how do you stay motivated". And the reply was "motivation cannot be sustained...you need discipline". Sometimes we just have to "just do it". And that means discipline. We use discipline to not overspend, to go to work, to do our…

what's your mantra?
Do you talk to yourself before or during a workout to help keep you going? What do you say? When I was in a relationship..I would often reminder myself how much better intimacy would be. It kept me running!!

100 Days from today...
It'll be the end of summer, August 28th (days from Labor Day). What did your summer look like? Will you look back and say - wow! I enjoyed myself these last few months, I did things that I wouldn't have tried in the past? Or will you pause and look with regret of what was missed because you didn't want to try? Were you…
