A few years ago my daughter and I took a belly dancing class through our local community ed program. It was a blast! Hope you find something! L

I do wash and rinse it every use. Glad to know others have the problem, too, and it's not anything serious. Just seems it acts up when someone is really curious to see it work LOL

I think your boss just wants you to get to work earlier ;)

Awesome!!

Thanks for the support and ideas. A couple of answers: There are some weekend days where the day gets away from me and I don't log in the whole day. Don't worry, I'm eating :tongue: I just switched sodium to watch my calcium for a bit. I don't always log in my water, but I drink plenty and sweat a lot during my workouts.…

I don't wear mine all the time anymore because it is now so loose. I worry it will slip off during a workout or when I wash my hand in a restroom.

360 of edamame is not as bad as say 360 of donuts :bigsmile: Don't worry about it and move on.

I was interested in the part that talked about adding whey powder to baked goods. What would you use it as a substitute for?

I love steel cut oats in the morning. I make a big batch on Sunday to reheat during the week. L

If you don't buy it you can't eat it. Try to keep healthier options at home so when you do get hungry you aren't grabbing a candy bar or other junk food. That said, since you are breastfeeding, listen to your body. You may have taken off weight a bit too quickly and the bit of a rebound is just your body readjusting. Relax…

I think if you are otherwise healthy and drink plenty of fluids, the higher sodium allowance is okay. Especially if you are working up a sweat with your workouts.

I'll buck the trend and say I try to workout through it. Most times I feel better h. If not, then I gave and go back to bed. Sweating all those little viruses has to be a good thing.

Make sure that when you are clicking on foods you are adding to your diary that they have a few member confirmations. It is possible that the member who added them didn't add the sodium. BUT, that said, if all is correct good for you! I don't think going over on fiber is a bad thing as long as things are moving correctly…

I made the mistake of going the cheap route and my first HRM wasn't worth the plastic it was packaged in. I ended up with a later model Polar which I love. Check a sporting goods store in your area for coupons, member discounts or maybe even search Ebay. Getting a good one now will save you frustration in the long run;…

My opinion (and bear in mind it is only my opinion) is unless you plan on eating that plan for the rest of your life, why bother? I lost 30 pounds by doing nothing fancier than eating mostly healthier foods, reducing processed and fast food, and portion control. These are things I can live with. I still have the occasional…

Because your body needs that water. If you don't drink enough, it hoards it and you gain weight. Drink enough water and body happily flushes what it doesn't need. L

Oatmeal cookies? Healthy muffins? Fruit?

I wonder if you work that hard to take them off how easy it would be to get them back when you stop that routine?

Okay, I have seen this a few times. What is NSV?

You could use the recipe feature to input all the ingredients and servings per batch to get the nutritional value of a serving. L

Beans!!!! Can you make a fruit smoothie with some protein powder?? L

I started with an inexpensive model from WallyWorld and ended up with a Polar FT7. The first one would stop recording, not come on... all sorts of problems. L

Wine!

I like the Danskin high impact sports bras from WalMart and they are only about $12 a piece.

It may sound simple, but if you don't buy it, you can't eat it!

I am still looking for an answer to this. They taste good, just messy to handle. Not necessarily something for "on the run"

I make my own honey wheat bagels that come out to about 170 calories each, 36 carbs but only 4 from sugars. Part of the trick is they are much smaller than store bought bagels. Add some light cream cheese and you have a decent breakfast. Here's my theory. Don't "diet" make lifestyle changes. If you completely take out…

I made them per the recipe, froze them, cut them, stored them in the fridge. I went to grab one tonight and they are mushy! What did I do wrong? L

Sounds good! I would like to have these nights after my cardio JiuJitsu work outs and when I fence. I have everything on hand put the flax seeds. Think I can make them without them?
