There is a 150 shirt this year and it's cute. (of course!) I'm aiming for 300 classes as I teach 5 a week and usually hit at least one other instructor's class during the week :) There will be a summer attendance game at our Center too! 4 classes week is just over 200 classes in a year... 3 classes a week is just over the…

It's a good place to carry extra clothes, sweaty used clothes, etc. The inside is lined and I love that! Congrats!!

I've been going for 3 years. This advice is the best I've seen. I have been one of the 'hard' instructors now for 2 years. I pick hard songs and I go after it and I'm not shy about encouraging others to go get some. However, what you burn is up to you so a heart rate monitor is smart. I dropped 50 lbs going to Jazzercise…

That's it. I'm buying a dag nam HRM. Friggity frack. I teach an hour of jazzercise and do bodysculpting every Sunday. I wonder where I am truly at with those pesky calories anyway! I was just logging 700-750 depending on my sweat factor. :)

Either. JJ - get an unwich with a pickle. Taco Johns...chicken taco or regular crispy taco (order no cheese on either) and use some salsa.

Rykas I have a blue pair of Transitions and a pair of black/pink ones- can't remember what type they are though.... I prefer my flashy blue ones. LOVE the pivot action and light feel of them.

Jazzercise! And I've loved it for 3 years.

I would give it a full 2-3 weeks to balance out a bit. An average of 3lbs a week is a lot and may take some time for your body to adjust. Monitor your intake & output honestly and be patient with yourself. It's a lifestyle not a race. Best wishes!

Girl's Night Out is THIS Friday at my center. I'm thinking feathers & glitter. I am on stage for 5 songs - but only have to cue one. The leg routine is killer!! My body is really feeling all the extra rehearsal time this week. Wowza! So glad everyone's having fun with it. Completely worth $15!!

As you probably know- it's age, weight, height, and then (of course) how hard you work (heart rate) that determine your total burn for a session. It is going to be different every time. I know that I get more calories teaching than when I just go to class. I also burn more when my district manager shows up! :)

I get the tuna in olive oil and strain it. Then I mix it in with one of those 'steamer' bags of whole green beans or one of the veggie mixes for a quick, hot, and cheap lunch.

<<instructor and addict. 5-6 classes a week for the past 2 years. Can't get enough. Doesn't feel like as hard of a workout as it really is! Friend request me if you'd like. :)

The way Monday has treated me? Scotch on ice.

Isn't that the truth. It's no big secret and its hard. Hard work, dedication and a keep going attitude. Congratulations on this mind and body transformation.

What she said...this stuff is THICK and it works. My husbanda still uses it for severely cracked/bleeding knuckles sometimes. Its pricey...but it lasts.

Brownies (gluten free) 2 cups Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips 3/4 cup Palm sugar (or other sugars...) 1, 15 oz. can of black beans (strain out the juices) 3 whole eggs 1 tspn. Vanilla Preheat oven to 350 degrees Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium to medium high heat. Run black beans through a food…

I had posted a recipe for these a while back....try the Search button. They came out moist and delicious. But, I use real dark chocolate chips in mine. YUM.

So awesome!! Great dedication...here's to your renewed:drinker: health!

I like to think of that as the scale's dirty little way of telling you to keep working hard. When the scale does that- hit 'ignore' and work even harder. If you do- it will drop again.

You are amazing and beautiful. MMM Kay? WOW!!

I've taken to performing a full body spin (like a runway model), flipping my hair back, giving a quick wink and a "Thank you". If you can do that, a simple Thank you, I've been working hard will be much easier.

I've had a jello "thing" lately. Bumpity bump bump.

I'm amused that people think your hoo-haa is going to smell worse without underwear? You think your sopping wet cotton panties aren't housing that smell? Wipe your armpit with a towel and see if that smell sticks around. Too funny.

<--- only these kind of undies. Seriously, I've read thongs will channel all that butt bacteria right to your hoo- haa. I was a pro-undie girl before but I am much drier and happier going commando. And big cotton undies just keep you sitting in a pair of wet panties. Now, that's way worse than allowing the air to work it's…

I think a bowl of 'juiced' pasta is called paste. In the case of your dinner tonight, that's green paste.

Lots of good tips here already. Here's my suggestions: 1. Cinnamon or mint toothpicks 2. Gum 3. Water, hot tea, etc. Hot beverages slow me down. 4. Keep a big old bag of raw veggies (think celery, radishes) cut up in the fridge -placed front and center. Eat them whenever. You have to replace that smoking habit with…

Not mythical. We have a doctor in town who has had the same unmolded Happy Meal on her counter for 2 years. Sick.

I only avoid it because it makes my gut hurt and become super inflamed which I think fed into my inability to lose weight. I didn't even know it was making me sick until I tried cutting it out of my diet for 2 weeks to test for sensitivities. Certainly not everyone has that kind of issue but for those of us who…
