Long-time member, needs friends still
I'm awful at keeping at a healthier lifestyle. I've had this app for about 4 years and have used it only off/on...I've lost and gained the same 20 pounds for forever!! Looking towards making a more permanent change in my life, and I think getting some motivational friends on here would help. Please feel free to add me! I'm…

Whey protein powder scoop vs. food scale?!
Hi everyone! I've been trying to get more protein in my diet, so I've found a protein shake or 2 helps tremendously. I've also been trying to be a stickler for "exact" calorie counts, so I use a food scale religiously. I was using the Body Fortress protein brand since it's so inexpensive, which had 1 serving/scoop at 34g.…

Where to hold iPod when lifting?
Might be a dumb question, but whatever. :tongue: Now that it's getting HOT out (and now that I've stopped relying mostly on cardio machines--woot!), I won't always have a hoody on me to hold my phone (which I use for music). Women's workout clothes aren't pocket-friendly. I was considering getting an armband, but I've been…

I need the squat rack!!
Hey everyone!! I'm at workout 13 of 16 in stage 1, woohoo! Anyway, I've been fairly good about doing the workouts in order, but this has been bugging me lol... sometimes when the gym gets crowded, the only 2 squat racks are already taken!

Baking banana bread with sugar substitute?
I'm sure this topic has been posted before, but I'm running short on time to try to search through the topics... :blushing: anyhoo, I've been wanting to bake a low-fat banana bread for quite some time now, and now that I have some overly-ripe bananas, I think today may be the day! I haven't baked anything since I was, say,…

Scale vs. Label discrepancies?!
I might just be a tad bit anal here (or curious?), but I was just wondering -- for discrepancies between what the food scale says and what the nutritional label says, what do you guys go by?? I finally bought a digital food scale (SO handy for meats!!), and so I used it to weigh out a 1oz portion of pretzels. The label…

damn you, cookies!!!
So my friend gave me an entire tupperware tub of oatmeal raisin cookies for cat-sitting for her this past week, and they just happen to be my FAVORITE....she bought them, but like I said, they're in tupperware so I have noooo idea what the nutritional information is!! and THEN I try searching for it on here, and there is…

just had my Reese's AND banana split fix....
I think I just had an orgasm in my mouth for 170 calories... I like to slice a banana in 4 pieces, drizzle 1 tbsp sugar-free chocolate syrup on it, then freeze it. THEN, since I willed myself out of buying Reese's at the store today, I decided to soften 1 tbsp of Better'N Peanut Butter and put that on top of my frozen…
