The biggest tip you will get upon starting out is to buy a scale and weigh everything you can (specifically all solids). You might ask why it's so important since there are nutrition labels that have measurements for servings on them. Watch this video, it will quickly show you why a food scale is important.…

PB2 and Chocolate PB2
I finally caved and purchased a container of Chocolate PB2. From the little bit I had it's far more tasty that I would have imagined. How do you use your PB2? I need ideas that don't just involve my normal standby for fruit and protein powder ... tossing it into Greek yogurt. :laugh:

Fitbit Charge Opinions
I'm looking into getting one, and I like it because it displays the steps and time unlike the Flex. If you have one how do you like it? How is the sizing accuracy?

Question(s) for those who lift at home...
DH and I are going to do a home gym as he hates public gyms, and we just don't have the time between work, school, and kids to get to a gym anyhow. We've looked at 6' oly bars, 7' oly bars, traditional racks, a squat cage, rubber plate sets, weight trees, rubber floor mats, and benches of varying styles. I think the bench…

Nutrition after surgery
I have a lot of healing tissue both inside and out, plus my abdominal muscles that were ravaged and left feeling like swiss cheese (yay laparoscopic surgery!).

Those mean people...
Well it was one of those "mean people" who took a moment of her time to send me a little something that she didn't have to. I've had a bit of a rough week, and opening my mailbox to see that package she sent put a smile on my face. That's why I love this place, and all those mean people... because they're not really. I've…

Clothes for "running"?
I use the term running loosely as what I typically do is not running, but when I do move at a pace above "quickly trotting down the street" (no, not prancercizing) my mom-flap overtakes my bottoms and I end up trying to hold them up and yank my shirt down as to keep any passerby from having to see my belly. While I'm sure…
