I actually find that mfp suggests low for their protein ranges. My RD said for my calorie range (1600) I need about 90-120g protein and mfp suggested waaaay less so I went in and edited it. Depending on your activity level, your body may do well with upping the protein, especially after working out when your body needs it…

Such great ideas, thanks for sharing! 1. Clementines (easy to carry around and peel!) 2. colby cheese, apple slices and wheat thins/pretzels 3. Luna Chocolate Coconut bars (tastes like an almond joy, yum!) 4. berries and greek yogurt 5. Banana roll up- banana, peanut butter in a tortilla

Thanks guys- I talked it through with my bestie (and motivator) and we came to a similar conclusion that if it is affecting my job, then it is probably too much at one time. I think I will keep doing it- just not on a daily basis-so it may take me closer to 60 days to complete it but it's a start. I'm sure that I will…

For health reasons I drink organic whole milk- it helps with my PCOS with regulating my hormones. When they 'skim' off the fat to make lesser fat milk, they take a lot of the good fats with it and my body needs those to function properly. I also like almond milk. I am allergic to soy so that's out but almond milk is super…

I have a 1/2c black beans, chopped up chicken (from rotisserie), 1/2 c shredded cheese on a tortilla (think quesadilla) with a 100 cal pack of guac. It's like around 660 calories but loaded with protien and good fibers and fats- I teach Zumba and I need something that will carry me through the workout and is high calorie…

My husband follows 4hb and has had great results. He does it for a few months and then takes a month off but even on the off time, he is still mindfull of what he's eating. I couldn't do it. I love my carbs and fruit too much :) Good luck!

JJ- I suffer from shin issues too- I wear compression cuffs when I work out. It helps keep the pressure on them even so no sudden shocks to the area. You can also try the compression socks diabetics wear but I found that if I put socks over them they swished and I didn't like it. I found the cuffs at a bicycle shop. Also…

Sore- not sorry!

I am on Day 4- and I think those lunges at the end with the arm raises are the devil! :) I am soooo sorry but yes, the epsom salt baths are wonderful with that and also KEEP MOVING! It sounds odd but it helps fight soreness to keep active and drinking up plenty of water!!! I teach Zumba and I did my 30DS before class…

Zumba was the first cardio I stuck with. I took my first class in the fall of 2010 and this past summer I got certified to teach! I love it! There are different levels so be sure your friends aren't going to Zumba Gold classes which are geared toward total beginners or the older crowd that don't want so much jumping and…

If you are eating under 1200 calories net, your body may have went into 'starvation' mode. This happened to me before I started MFP and wearing a banded heart rate monitor- now I know what I burn and need to eat back so not to drop below the 1200. Do I eat them all back everyday? Nope but I try to be within 100 or so and…

banana, coconut water, apple and cheese stick, peanut butter on celery. I found at walmart they have little go-to boxes of apples, cheese and pretzels (in the produce section). Love this after doing Zumba-seems to balance all the cravings-salt, sweet, protein. :)

I teach Aqua Zumba (first class is Sunday-nervous!!!) and I've taken the class prior to getting certified. It is a lot of fun and a great workout but yes, different than regular Zumba classes. The big difference you will notice is that you can't move as fast and that your legs aren't much help- your arms are your super…
