Thoughts on Bellabeat?
So far, that's the tracker that I like the best and I'm considering making the purchase but I'd like to know if any of you have already bought it and what you think of it?

What do you like on your raw avocado?
First of all, let me just say that I am avocado obsessed. I usually eat at least one every day, usually with just a little salt and pepper. But I like to play with some toppings or additions sometimes and that made me wonder what some of you like to dress your raw avocado up with? I'm keto, so I like to add fat on that…

I'm sick, on the keto diet, and do not want to cook a thing!
I am on Day 34 of keto and I have an awful case of bronchitis. All that I want in this world is ice cream and chicken noodle soup. I love to cook and usually, I cook all of our meals to ensure carb counts, but I can barely make it to the restroom without being dizzy. Do I risk being kicked out of ketosis for my coveted…

What's your favorite keto pasta or noodle?
I love zoodles, but my husband despises zucchini. I know there are a lot of different types out there, but some people gush over them and some say they're just mush. Do you have a favorite storebought low carb noodle and why do you like it so much?

How do you get your fiber on the keto diet?
Without getting too TMI... I really need some help in the ladies room, if you know what I mean, and I was wondering how all of you fellow keto kids like to get your fiber in without bulking up your carbs?

HELP! Desperate for Keto friendly sides...
Hello all! I love to cook and my husband and I are very happy on the keto diet. The problem is that he is SUPER picky. I love spinach, zucchini, salad etc. He hates almost all keto friendly veggies. No broccoli, no squash, no spinach, no cauliflower... I am going crazy trying to find some sort of side that I can serve him…

Keto - How do you keep your protein down?
I'm doing pretty well on the keto diet, but I've noticed that I go over my protein goal every single day. Aside from fat bombs, do you have any other tricks you use to keep your fat up and your protein down?

Unsweetened Iced Green Tea
Can I include that in my water intake? I typically ONLY log actual water, but I do love my unsweetened green tea in the mornings and I haven't been counting it. Should I?

9Round - The Day After...
I am insanely sore. But it was fun. Just curious if any of you 9Rounders went back on Day 2 to work through the soreness or if you found it better to take the day off to recover?

New 9 Rounder
I was just wondering if you other 9 Rounders log your exercise as Kickboxing or as Aerobic? I know a fitbit would tell me more about exactly how many calories I'm burning, but until I can afford one, I was curious.

Pinterest, anyone?
I am absolutely ADDICTED to Pinterest. Is anybody else out there getting lost in the joy of Pinteresting? I'm not the craftiest person (understatement), so there is so much that I love but will probably never be able to do, BUT there are some amazing healthy recipes (unhealthy ones too, but just shmoobie past them), as…

Best Ever Water Cup
So I bought a bubba 32 oz cup yesterday. It was $12 at Walmart, which is a little pricey for a water cup, but it's double walled and it has the best soft, flexible, oversized straw that helps you gulp down water twice as fast. I'm so in love with mine that I had to let you all know. If you struggle to get your water in,…

Lost in the Machines
Am I the only girl who feels lost among the machines in my gym? I consider myself to be a fairly smart girl. I'm certainly not unfamiliar to all of these machines, but the reality is - I have no idea what I'm doing. I will focus on a major muscle group per day - arms one day, abs and back next, then legs. I do three sets…

How do you curb your sweet tooth?
I was never a really huge fan of sweets. Until I became pregnant with my now 7 month old Emma... all of the sudden this undeniable urge to load myself up with sweets has become a part of my daily life. I have been trying very hard to reach for less damaging options... strawberries and whipped cream, a spoonful of peanut…

Metamorphosis by Tracey Anderson
Just started today and I'm wondering if anyone else uses it too and what you think? Pretty sure I looked like an idiot trying to get the dance moves down, but it was fun! That's more than I can say for most other workouts.

Any Andoid owners use Noom?
I just downloaded the app today and to be honest, it kind of confuses me and I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts. While I DO like that I get a "grade" on my quality of food choices, I feel like journalling my food is pretty vague. I am a big user of CardioTrainer and I love that it's integrated with Noom... what do you…

Fantastic (and delicious) immunity booster!
As a child, my grandmother always gave me a Tbsp of Buckwheat honey daily to build up my immune system and I almost NEVER got sick! I remembered this recently when I saw Dr. Oz mention it and recommend it as a way to beat flu season. So I bought a big container of it! I've been taking it by the Tbsp like Nanny always gave…

My daughter was born 50 lbs ago...
Translation: 4 months ago. I am having a particularly stressful holiday season, being a mom of two, a full time student and trying to close on a house by the new year. I needed to stop this morning and remind myself that I have worked really hard... and I've been ignoring my rewards! I didn't realize that I fit into jeans…

Precor AMT question
This is my first day in my brand new gym (and it is AH-mazing!!!) There were machines and tools that I have never even seen before. One of these was the Precor AMT... I had an amazing workout on it and I was just wondering what to classify it as in my exercise log? Is it an elliptical? Now that I have typed this out, it…

Any other new moms on here?
I'm Christie... my daughter Emma is one month old today. Looking to make some friends with some other new mommies on here that are on the road to pre-pregs clothes. A few questions... are you nursing? how did you deliver? were you happy with your weight prior to baby?

Any other new moms out there recovering from a C-section?
I was already a member of MFP for a year or so when I got pregnant with my little lovely, so I am no newbie to the weight loss boat. I gained a total of 24 lbs during pregnancy, 21 of which I have shed in the 17 days I've been postpartum, thanks to breastfeeding (I LOVE breastfeeding... I've been trying to figure out how…

Need some inexpensive and healthy dining out options
My daughter goes to school a pretty great distance from my home and sometimes when I drive her in, I stick around the area in order to save gas. I often mall walk or get work done on my laptop, etc. and because of wifi, I often end up at Panera. But I'm bored with it and wondering if anyone has some ideas of some places I…

Chocolate AND probiotics? Yeah, man...
Attune probiotic bars. I am absolutely in love. :love: They come in several flavors (milk chocolate crispie, dark chocolate, etc)... they taste just like a regular candy bar, but with a higher probiotic content than even yogurt, due to a low water content. One bar is 90 calories and just the right size to curb a chocolate…
