Thrivemarket...do you use it?
I live in a small town. I do not have a whole foods or Trader Joe's anywhere near me. I have an Aldi's and another small (highly priced) grocery chain- Piggly Wiggly. There is a small organic/whole foods mini market in a neighboring town, but the prices are so high! I was planning to get some ghee, almond butter, almond…

What did you buy that I didn't think of?
I've been doing Paleo for nearly 4 weeks now. I went strict paleo for 21 days and then veered off for the last 3 days. Back on today! Besides the obvious fruits, veggies, meats, and nuts, what are some good things to have on hand? What should "my shelf" have at home? Thanks!

21 days paleo- ate a donut- HEADACHE.
So yesterday I completed 21 days of Paleo. It was my first time ever doing Paleo. I totally fell in love with it! and I plan to continue it. I lost 6.5 pounds and some inches (not sure how much..). My pants are falling today :) Tonight I plan to compare my before and after pictures. Well, today, I decided to eat a donut (a…

my search continues: The best kind of fitness watch
It's there a fitness watch that will record runs and tell you your MPH and stuff like the runtastic app does with a phone? I don't want to carry my phone with me, but I like knowing my speed, distance, and using the GPS. I want that in watch form, but I'm not looking to buy the new iWatch for $250. Are there other things…

Does this even work?!?! What are your results??
I'm trying this diet out- but with skepticism. How is it going for you? What is your height, weight, goal weight...what have you lost? how fast? Pictures are always nice :) I'm 5'7.5'' and weight 185. I got down to 165, but gained back 20 this past year. I calorie count and workout regularly (most of the time), I struggle…

Just starting out
Hello, my name is Nicole- I'm a total newbie with the Paleo diet. I've done research and considered it for a while, but never took the plunge. I am about 30-40 pounds over weight and suffer from severe acne. I also deal with bloating daily and other intestinal issues. After reading many success stories related to my…

77 cal per cup SOUP- very good.
My mother just whipped this up today and luckily I asked her to jot down what she puts in it so that I can record the calories for today. Well it turned out the soup was amazing. I didn't record it until after I ate a couple bowls and I was very pleasantly surprised to see it was only 77 calories a cup! It reminds me of…

"42 calorie" pumpkin cookies
My mother found a "42 calorie pumpkin cookie" recipe online. She made them and added a few things (chocolate chips and cream cheese frosting, lol), and they turned out super yummy. However, they ended up being 77 calories. BUT, with some adjustments, I'm going to make these again but at 44 calories. Both recipes below.…

Result pics from Jillian, other that 30DS?
I have done 30 Day Shred and got fantastic results. However, my sister has recently taken my copy to college with her. I have many other JM DVDs though, like 6 week 6 pack, Shred it with weights, Ripped in 30, and another one (can't remember the name). I've never done any of them besides 30DS, and I've done a little Shred…

Possible herniated disc in upperback/neck
Hello- While I am no stranger to back pain, it typically (or at least I thought) was a pulled muscle in my back, neck, and/or shoulder. Well, this time, the pain was different, and instead of getting increasingly better as the days past, it became increasingly worse. By the 14th day of it I finally went into the doctor. I…

53 pounds down w/pics :) first post
I figured today, my birthday, would be a good day to finally figure out how to post pictures and then share my story. Although I am still about 15 pounds away from my goal, I've come along way and am beginning to be quite happy at my reflection in the mirror. I wish I had better before pictures to really show my progress,…

6 weeks of no workouts...what will happen to my hard work?
I'm having a sugery in 12 days that will result in me stopping my workouts for around 6 weeks (walking (for exercise) can presume after about 2 weeks). I've worked so hard to get definition in my back and arms; I'm dreading the idea of losing that. I won't be able to use my arms or back for any type of exercise during that…

sore elbow joints when/after lifting
This question is for my fiance, actually... He does P90X and lifts heavy, but in the past 6 monthes or so he has been having issues with his joints hurting, specifically his elbow. Is there something he can do to prevent this? Perhaps he is lifting wrong? Although he claims he is not. He's taking some kind of joint…

What exactly does "heavy lifting" consist of?
This might seem like a silly question, but I wonder what people do who claim to "lift heavy". I see it mentioned on this site often and also followed by fantatic results. When someone is doing heavy lifting, is it just doing repetitive reps (lift and lower, lift and lower). It seems horribly boring. I have intentions of…

Biggest Loser Protein shakes...advice
I just purchased some Biggest Loser Protein shake powder to use as a substitute for breakfast. I chose it because it's low in calorie and relatively cheap. I am questioning the cheap part though since I have a feeling I need to add more powder, therefore only giving me 8 servings per container. (a 10 oz container is about…

30DS verses RI30
I'm coming down to the end of 30 day shred (7 days left) and I was planning on doing Ripped in 30 afterwards. I was wondering how difficult it is compared to 30DS. I'm struggling to do the unmodified moves in level 3. In the other two levels I could do what Natalie (the one doing the high impact) could do...now I'm…

Turbo Fire...you got something to say about it??!!?
I should have asked this BEFORE dropping the 100+ bucks...but what does everyone think of turbo fire. Can I see some before/after pics? :) Do you get a rest day each week? Is it like an hour workout every day? or less? or longer? Doable for overweight people?? How is it on the knees?? I LOVE turbo jam...but turbo fire…

What's a GREAT single serve blender?
I'm trying to find a blender that is quick and easy to use for my rushed early mornings. I want it to be able to blend through ice with ease. Preferably something that is easy to clean. Lately I've been using my ninja, and while it works well, it's a hassle to clean. Plus, I have to drink from another glass, therefore…

Filling up my boyfriend! help
My boyfriend is doing P90X and trying to GAIN mass by eating lots of calories, some coming from his 2 high calorie protein shakes a day. My problem, is that I'm NOT trying to gain mass and instead need to consume close to 1200 calories...unlike his ideal 5,000 so that I can lose weight. I like to make nice diners for us,…

pulled muscles..need alternative exercising
I occasionally pull muscles in my back/neck. I try to stretch and avoid it-but it doesn't always work. I woke up this morning with a bad sore neck/back. Even with a couple Aleve, I'm unable to twist my head, bend over, ect...without pain. I hate when these things happen and mess up my workout routine (that being, work out…

BUTT Bible.
I just ordered the 3 disc Butt Bible workout last night. I did skim through the videos on youtube, but I'm still curious about what people thought of the DVDs. My main concern is my knees. Anyone who has done these videos, or know someone who has....is it easy on the knees? Once I do the wrong move or too much of another,…

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/george-stella/mock-garlic-mashed-potatoes-recipe/index.html I used lite cream cheese and skipped the butter completely, but added some shredded cheddar. They turned out amazing. My boyfriend and daughter loved them. I couldn't believe how much they tasted like real mashed potatoes...I'm…
