  • I'm actually about 45 minutes up river, in Clayton, NY! Isn't that Funny? High five back on your weight loss. And what a great example you are setting for your little girl. We, mommies need to take care of ourselves to be the best we can for our kids! Good luck with your new Zumba class and your continued journey!…

I am a SAHM of three great kids but sometimes got caught up in the stress and the sendentary-ness of it all. I said to myself, "enough" Once I kicked some weight and the kids…

    in I could just CRY!!!!! Comment by racermom November 2009
  • from what I understand......Protein (any source) after working out helps your muscles recover. I always follow my workout or run with a protein~something, Light string cheese, protein bar, hard boiled egg white. Hopefully someone else has some more scientific explaination for you. Keep up the good work! :happy:

    in my exercise calories Comment by racermom October 2009
  • and so if I add that 845 calories back into my daily intake, will I still loose weight? I feel good even though I am not adding them back in, and the results are awesome. Will I crash?

  • I cannot have aspartame, so diet drinks are out of the question. However I have found some homemade "gatorade" recipes that help take my water in. 9 Tbls sugar, 3/8 tsp table salt and 1 packet of unsweetened koolaid, any flavor. Mix with 60 oz. of water, or vary the amt of water to your taste. Hope this helps:smile:
