Purple Project: Eating Disorder Month February 2014
I recently came across a page on Facebook. A student who'd struggled with anorexia founded this "Purple Project" a few years ago and it has now become a big thing to promote awareness. It's very inspirational to anyone that has struggled with an ED or is currently battling an ED or simply knows someone facing an ED. I…

Glute Exercises *besides* Squats & Lunges
I have bad knee problems, but I really want to tone up my glutes. Every time I try squats or lunges, which I know work really well, my knees start killing me. I can't keep doing them. So I looked up some other exercises, and if you see this list, anything that doesn't involve squatting or lunging or anything of the sort,…

Chobani Simply!! Only 100 calories & lower sugar
Hey all you Chobani lovers! Good news! Chobani recently released a new product called Chobani Simply. Unlike regular Chobani which has around 19g of sugar and 140-160 calories, Chobani Simply only has 7g of sugar and is 100 calories. I was concerned that the company had used aspartame, ace-K, sucralose etc. to attain such…

Discount workout supplies website, anyone?
I've been watching what I've been eating for a while but now really want to get fit. I'd like to buy some free weights, ankle/wrist weights, a stability ball, a foam roller etc. I didn't know if anyone knew of any cheap websites I could buy this kind of stuff from? I checked out Amazon but didn't know if there was anything…

an AMAZING hug? dafuq
Is there really such thing as a good hugger? To me a hug is a hug, and I've never had the inclination to think "Wow, that was an amazing hug." I don't know; this one person is always bragging about how he gives the best hugs and I just don't see why/how his hugs could be that great. How would you define an amazing hug?…

Thoughts on the Hapifork...
I read about this in a magazine the other day and my first response was laughter. Really? Are we being serious here? A fork that tells you when to eat? Pftt. :huh: And it's $99. Yeah, I'm sure going to pay $99 to let a fork boss me around. "Bree, why aren't you eating with us right now?" "Oh, my fork right here rules my…

BIGGEST Accomplishment?! (outside of the diet/fitness world)
This doesn't necessarily have to be weight loss/fitness related. In fact, I'm curious what your non-fitness accomplishments are! I'm just a freshman in college, so I feel like I haven't quite accomplished anything huge yet. :ohwell: But if I had to pick one thing it's probably being Salutatorian of my high school class.…

anyone else avoid dinner dates?
I'm a pain in the butt to go to dinner with since I can't eat gluten, am a vegetarian, and I eat clean and watch my calorie intake. There's no place in my area that suits all my needs so I prefer to just eat at home and skip out on restaurants. Anyone else with dietary restrictions do the same?

What's your biggest fear?
My biggest fear is of mice. It sounds absolutely ridiculous but whenever I've seen one in my basement I've practically had a coronary. Maybe if I saw one outside I wouldn't be as freaked out, but when one's in my house it's just so gross and even if I set a trap and catch it, I won't set foot in the basement for weeks…

GF Vegetarian Protein options aside from bars & shakes
I used to always be a vegetarian so I knew how to get my protein that way. Though not the healthiest, that would consist of some Gardein, Boca and Morningstar products for lunches or dinners. I'd also have beans, eggs, and nuts, but those in themselves were never enough to get me to my protein macro. Now I'm GF (since my…

"High Calorie Foods to Avoid" ... Ridiculousness!
I follow a bunch of fitness and weight loss pages on Twitter just to keep me extra motivated when I scroll through my Twitter feed. I'm not sure who exactly runs the pages, but I highly doubt they're the pages of dietitians and trainers who actually know what they're talking about. I constantly see these weight loss pages…

If your dog died & you got another would it be same breed?
One of our dogs recently passed away and it was pretty tragic since he'd been battling cancer. It has been a couple months now and we feel ready to get a new dog, not to replace the other, but to fill a void and keep our other dog company. We love the breed that our deceased dog was however we also have our skepticisms…

Watermelon Cake! Minus the actual cake!
I don't have the recipe for this, but just looking at the picture I feel like we can figure out how to make it. I follow healthy food type of pages on different websites and saw this picture recently.... and am compelled to show you all! I'll probably make something like this for my next birthday, since last birthday I…

Interesting Read About Policy to monitor model weight
As many of you know, some companies in the US are known for putting really skinny girls on the covers of their magazines, in fashion shows etc. Many of these girls/women are probably underweight. I read this article and found it interesting if anyone cares to read it; it's about a new policy in Israel in regards to…

Quest Bars having too much fiber?
I was looking into new nutrition bars I could have for on the go snacks and I heard about Quest Bars. They seem great and all, but looking at the label I noticed that they're incredibly high in fiber. I notice that many companies these days are advertising their foods being high in fiber, but I'm starting to think this…

Motivation to Eat Less- Kitchen Tips
This is a fun thread I thought I'd make to share what I recently did to keep me on my toes in the kitchen. My biggest problem with losing weight is eating right. Sure, I can eat 2200 calories and just work hard in the gym for hours to create a deficit, but who really wants to do that? It's easier if I just eat less from…
