Lactose Intolerant
Hi all! I recently discovered I am lactose intolerant :sad: Does anyone else out there suffer and struggle with this? What tips would you give to a newbie like myself?

Help recovering from a two-day binge
This past week I indulged in several Fat Tuesday celebrations on both Monday and Fat Tuesday itself. Since I am giving up any kind of sweets for Lent, I thought, "What the heck! I've been doing so well lately that I might as well treat myself!" I still exercised both of those days but I didn't eat good AT ALL! I didn't…
