the first time i met my boyfriend was technically the 2nd time i met him. we were first introduced at my friend's high school graduation party; however, i don't remember meeting him then (i wasn't drunk, i just flat out don't remember seeing him there). then new years eve 2 years later, we were both again at the same…

i wasn't a big soda drinker until later on in college. when i started here, i'm completely cut it out. i pretty much cut out caffeine, and i feel SO much better. water (with lemon, lime, or cucumber), smoothies, soy milk, and the occasional glass of wine. yes, drinking that much water can get old, but it's worth it. i feel…

that sounds scary dangerous. trust me, i've been there (hardcore dancer for 15 years). you NEED to be getting a minimum of 1000 calories in your system. mfp sets up your daily calorie allotments based off of what is safe and healthy for you. go into your tools and see how many calories you burn a day just laying around -…

thanks for all the help and the support everyone!! i'm going to spice up my work-out over the next couple of weeks and see if that helps. thanks again; you guys are the best :flowerforyou:

if you're on carpet, then you shouldn't have a problem...unless underneath the carpet is concrete. i've been dancing since i was five, and the only time i've worn sneakers to do zumba was when i was in a gym. i'm pretty sure i was fairly tempted to take off my shoes then too. i suggest getting a knee brace, icing your knee…

i go out of town a lot because i'm in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend and i'm still in touch with my college roommate, so i visit both of them a lot. i am all about kicking my *kitten* during the week and giving the weekends to me. however, i have found that you can still stick fairly close to your diet,…

i've said this in a post recently, but i'm going to say it again. if you're not taking breaks, please be very very very careful. i had a slave driver for a dance team coach who ran us into the ground every practice (for two hours) and expected us to fit in four other work-outs (2 cardio, 2 strength) throughout the week.…

ejean86, you have by far given the best work out advice i have ever seen on mfp!!! and i really wish this post were around last year when i was in college dealing with the dance team coach from hell. she'd push and push and push and push us through one practice, and then do the same thing again the very next night. and…

i do a mixture of dancing and cleaning...maybe i should add heels to the mix!!

BUT at ruby tuesday you have the option of the salad bar and you can create your own meal. you have control of the portions and what goes into your salad. they also usually have a pretty extensive amount of options. probably you're best bet.

go ahead! eat dinner! the key is balance. you obviously want to replenish after you've just worked out, but you want to make sure you're putting good things back into your body. yeah, you can have pasta, but make sure it's not just tons and tons of carbs. add some lean protein - chicken, turkey, fish - veggies, and a…

you might find this link useful http://www.cchs.net/health/health-info/docs/0900/0984.asp?index=5508 you can work up to your maximum heart rate - which is 220-your age - and you can even go a little above. what you have to look out for is going more than 85% above that maximum heart rate. so you'd have to be working REALLY…

an ace bandage is what i would go with/have gone with in the past (i've never tried rock tape though!). make sure after you're training you're stretching it, doing some mild pt exercises (flexing and pointing your foot slowly, rolling it in circles to the right and left), and icing for about fifteen minutes. the most…

30 day yoga challenge?! yes yes YES count me in :)

i think it comes down to the core of a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle - balance is key. too much of one food or one type of exercise isn't going to help you lose weight or maintain your ideal weight. everything has its own advantages and weaknesses. cardio's good for your heart, it's a stress reliever, and you'll…

i know i have issues with this because i'm around the same calorie goal, and you definitely need to eat more when you add exercise to the equation. mfp allows for this. log in your exercise for that day, and it'll add the amount of calories you just burned with exercise to your daily allotment. also, super foods can help.…
