  • There are entries that go by size rather than weight (e.g. 1 large banana 7- 7 7/8", 1 medium nectarine). I use that instead.

  • I have been with my husband nearly 10 years (dating for 5, married for 5). Ours is kind of like one of those When Harry Met Sally Situations: 1. We didn't realize it until years later, but we first met in a Political Science class in undergrad. We spent the entire semester debating each other. One night we were talking…

  • Look to it as an investment into your future, you're looking at a double salary in 6 months. See if you can find some help from family and friends for the next three months, you could even word it to them that it will be a loan. Would you pay for parking at the new location? Is public transportation an option for him? With…

  • I take classes. It is so much more motivating and I am always sure I am doing it right (and doing a complete workout). I alternate Zumba and Bodyshaping/Rep Reebok.

  • Ruby, Red Bone Coonhound, 6yo Levi, Appalachian Love Hound (aka Heinz 57), 6 yo Both are rescues. We adopted Levi first. It was hard to say no when he came up to me, put his chin on my knee and looked up with those big brown eyes! After a few couches, we figured he needed a buddy and adopted Ruby.

  • 161 February 2011. I'm 31. Since I am only 5' tall, no more excuses for me either...the weight is going to come off.

  • What is it about husbands not wanting to do Zumba?! I have been trying to get my hubby to go to Zumba with me for months, but I always get the same excuses: I have a project at work, I'm training for a Tri. I even try explaining that the Zumba instructors are smokin' hot, but no...nothing. Is there a switch in their mind…

  • I'm 5' .5" (yes, the .5" counts) and aiming for 125. I weighed myself in February and was 161, and then I saw myself on television (at first I thought "that can't be me!"). I'm trying to work out at least 5x a week (zumba, strength training and "running"). Monitoring what I eat has been a real wake up call.

  • It is a 5K, not too bad at all. I did a C25K class also, it helped a lot...but running went downhill after a broken ankle (darn carpet!). My neighborhood is SUPER hilly, so flat running would likely be easier.

  • I spoke to a nutritionist because I was concerned about consistently going over on Protein and Fiber. She said that going over on those two is not a negative, as long as I stay within my calorie range and do not go too overboard. In fact, protein and fiber help with muscle development and weight loss! The biggest things to…

  • My nickname growing up used to be Piglet. The popular girls in school (middle to high school) came up with a group called the "Piggies" (an additional dig, but I didn't realize it). So I asked to join, and their response was that I was already a member. They would snort like a pig, so I thought that was cool to do. It took…

  • Coming from a Greek, Fage is the best by far! Fage has a 0% and 2% plain yogurt and very high in protein (yay!). Fage is the ONLY brand that tastes good on its own. It comes in individual (6oz) and larger containers. Add a little honey and it is a wonderful snack. The other brands, particularly Oikos, are awful. I once…

  • I do Zumba at least one to two times a week. I just use regular sneakers and it's fine. I don't see how special shoes make any difference. What is important for Zumba is effort and to have fun. You will learn the steps and the coordination skills through practice. Shoes don't affect that. Go there have fun and it's amazing…
