One hour of Zumba this morning, burned 401 cals, and reached 10,000 steps at dinner time today! Wooot! It's a good day!

Good morning! I'm enjoying my coffee and reading about your doings before getting ready for Zumba that starts at 10. Yall are talking a lot about decluttering. I'll have to check out Declutter365 on FB that bwcetc mentioned. For whatever reason, the declutter bug hit me a couple of weeks ago and I've been slowly going…

Greetings and Happy New Year! I'm a total newb for this group. I am 53 (54 in March) and live in the North Texas area. I love almost all things outdoorsy. I enjoy the beach, standup paddling (SUP), kayaking, archery club, hiking, geocaching, camping, etc. Life is so good! Of course, doing all these things requires me to be…

Yep! FTW area here. Feel free to add me. :happy:

I'm in FTW area. :smile:

Yummy, heavenly goodness! :love:

This is a great thread! Even two years later, OP's info is still very relevant. Thank you! I cancelled my gym membership recently. The training programs with "heavy" weights for women was a very light barbell with very little weight (or light dumbbells) and high, high reps - over and over. Oh, and squats - "you do those on…

I, too, am a WW Lifetime Member, but after three or four years of WW, found I knew nothing about "nutrition," only point values - and the point values were from when I initially joined. WW changes the program every January. Sometimes, it's a small change, sometimes is an extreme change. I stopped going to WW meetings…

I agree. A heart rate monitor is the best way to calculate your calorie burn. Be sure to get on that has a strap that goes around your chest, like Polar. My Polar logs my workout time, highest heart rate, average heart rate, and calories burned. So far, this is the best investment I've made. Good luck in your journey! You…

I don't know about "should" have cheat days. I "allow" myself cheat days. Of course, the more cheat days I have, the slower the weight comes off.... When I do plan an over day, I take care that I don't go insane with it. Plan, Log, Be Consistent.

Oh YUM! [Drooling now} :love: Tonight, I'll make hubby his Honey Bun Cake that I promised him for Father's Day. Cheers!

I haven't had much success trying to work with trainers, so I watched Mehdi's StrongLift videos on his StrongLifts website. And watched them and watched them. Then, when I got out there to do my routine, I watched in the mirrors to check my form. Try recording yourself during your workouts and compare yourself to Mehdi.…
