  • Good Lord Pups! Everyone is making such fabulous progress! Yesterday, I did Week 1 - Day 1 again, plank style...am feeling stronger and my arms are starting to show, even though I am at a very low level...I kind of hold myself in a yoga plank position to make sure all is aligned well and that my abs are held tight and…
  • I'm not sure exactly how many calories bellydancing burns per hour...I use "general dance" at this site to count my calories...it could vary due to the variety of moves and whether or not you were drilling/practing moves/dancing/ or working a DVD... it is of great health benefit to every woman, regardless of age or size,…
  • Currently in love with World Dance New York's, "Luscious", Bellydance workout...also love Rainbeau Mars Yoga DVDs. I've seen the infomercials for Beachbody and P90X and they look wonderful as well...before I started dancing I practiced Taebo...my body is getting curvier and more feminine looking since I started…
  • Very clever all of you! You know, I really love this dress...I think it is just gorgeous!
  • From Plank...Week 1 day 2: 1 - 4 2 - 3 3 - 2 4 - 2 5 - 4 I was surprised that I was able to complete the program to a tee! I can notice some toning in my arms...no one else has noticed yet.
  • Hi Ali...I change up the types of lettuces and contents when I get bored...my Dad likes sliced fruit in his salads...I like to add 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds when I can fit in the calories...you can always take a break from them and just eat cooked or raw vegetable and fruit...no sin there...you'll start to crave salads…
  • Standing by for your HRM report!
  • Greetings Everyone! I'm just dropping in to congratulate all of you on your progress!
  • I forgot to report Monday...started week 1 day 1 again from plank and have made progress...will report again today after workout...anyway, week1 day1: 1-2 2-2 3-2 4-2 5-4 All from plank! I love seeing everyone's progress and don't mind being low on the totem poll with amount of pushups I am able to perform...I'm right…
  • Sounds like you need to figure out what triggered that...don't beat yourself up over it, just use it as lessons learned...before you jump in and overeat like that, play the whole movie from beginning to end and remember how bad you fell right now for having binged. Living a healthy lifestyle takes practice just like…

You and your Son in the water reminds me of me and my Granddaughter...she's here from England, she's 4 years old and we've been spending our time jumping waves down at the beach! Since you were away I finally agreed to perform with my classmates...we spend 2 hours…
  • I'm happy for you! Sounds like a pure power session! I love Yoga too!
  • I've learned from Yoga practice and floor dance to always align my arms with my shoulders, not any wider...have you been aware of your body alignment? It is the same as when you do squats, your knees and ankles should be aligned and knees should not go past toes...hope this makes sense and I hope it helps....also, on the…
  • Congrats to everyone and their gains!
  • Mornin' Pups!...I got sidetracked with Daughterinlaw and Granddaughter...we've been at the beach jumping waves...anyway, back on track this morning: 1 - 2 2 - 2 3 - 2 4 - 2 5 - 4 I'm still doing the full form from plank position pushups and am finally strong enough to carry on and fully complete the program...I will be…
  • May God bless you and keep you safe Sgt...
  • Sounds like you're on the right track...I would mix up my fruit choices and minimize bananas...I would keep the peanut butter and get rid of the cheddar...whole wheat crackers like triscuits are a pretty good choice...good with all types of toppings...try non or lowfat cream cheese or laughing cow cheese...peanuts are…
  • They are a couple...a match made right here at MFP...if you heard one of them call each other brother or sister, they must have been goofin'
  • Greetings Jackeh! There are a few Zumba Dancers at this site...They must not be logged on right now..they would have jumped on your post because they all love it!
