1 Jill McHale March 31, 2013 at 7:05 PM: Love the Fierce necklace!!
2 Jill McHale March 31, 2013 at 7:07 PM: I was once told not to drink water because it would make me bloated. Good thing I didn’t listen! Haha
3 Brandy Jones April 1, 2013 at 5:21 AM: I was told that I could eat whatever I wanted as long as I didn’t swallow it! Just chew it to taste it and spit it out!! HA!!
4 Heather Novak April 1, 2013 at 5:23 AM: That not loosing weight was ok because I was probably just gaining muscle and it weighs more. SURE, if I am near the end of my loss and studying subtle nuances of the scale. BUT if I am at the beginning of trying to loose 30 pounds…the scale ain’t moving because the Cheetos ARE moving: Into my mouth.
5 Jill April 1, 2013 at 7:03 AM: I like the “Squat is a Four letter word” towel.

Worst advice I’ve ever gotten: limit your protein because it has too much fat.

Thanks for the giveaway.
6 Jaime Slutzky April 1, 2013 at 7:10 AM: Hmmm, I’ve been fortunate that my advice has generally been good. I just wish I had been told the value of keeping up my flexibility from childhood by making time in my teens and twenties. Now that I’m in my thirties, I am working extra hard to get some of that back!
7 Jaime Slutzky April 1, 2013 at 7:12 AM: Love the ‘stride’ towel and still love the ‘put your heart into it’ towel.
8 Sheree Strange April 1, 2013 at 3:33 PM: To just keep going, no matter what – there *IS* a difference between good pain and bad pain, and pushing me through bad pain has got me injured far too many times. 🙁
9 liz henderson April 2, 2013 at 9:48 AM: Don’t drink water bc ull gain weight.
10 Dominic Fung April 2, 2013 at 10:51 PM: ‘No pain, no gain’
As in excessive pain such that it affects daily functioning..
11 Renata April 5, 2013 at 12:25 PM: The worst advice I received was: “Oh yeah, your fat will just turn to muscle” which goes right up there with “Calories don’t really matter, just don’t eat after 7 pm, everything in the evening automatically turns to fat”. Oh boy.
12 chad crystal froemming April 5, 2013 at 12:34 PM: The fit and lift bracelets are awesome and so is the healthy word cloud tee!
13 DebH April 5, 2013 at 2:20 PM: No pain no gain for me too! I’ve learned the hard way that pain is not always a good thing!
14 DebH April 5, 2013 at 2:32 PM: Love the Fit Bottomed Girls necklaces!
15 Blake Kaplan April 5, 2013 at 7:56 PM: The hamburger patty and cottage cheese ARE the diet plate.
