Do not beat yourself up because you had a bad day, weekend or even week!! We're all human, we all mess up!! The best thing is to refocus on your health and try to eat better and keep moving. You are not defined by what you eat!!

If you are new to exercise or new to a particular type of exercise, your body may be holding onto water. Someone on here can explain it better than I can. Also, are you eating enough calories?

I am rotating my Zumba DVDs with my Biggest Loser Cardio Max dvd (burn more calories with Zumba but I'm sore doing the Biggest Loser and know I have muscles working that I wasn't using in Zumba). I LOVE Zumba.…

I agree. Tell the truth. If they really care about being friends with you instead of having a good time, they'll understand.

If you look thru previous posts, you'll find lots of info but in short, yes, you are supposed to eat back the calories you burn so you don't go too low for your body's needs. You should never go below 1200 calories per day. So basically, if you ate 1200 calories and then went and swam 500 calories off, you are to re-eat…

As often as I can or as time allows, I will try to walk our dog up and down our gigantic hills where I live for a half hour. I also try to do Zumba Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wenday and Saturday.

What about standing pushups? You know, if you are standing facing a wall and do push ups against it? I can't do regular push ups either because I dislocated my shoulder a little over a year ago and my ortho told me not to do yoga, bridge, planks, etc so I do that instead.
