  • I've found that when people say things like that, it is usually more about them than it is about you. The changes you are making might feel scary to her because they cause her to think about things that maybe she needs to change. She also might be worried that you are changing into a different person, and she is losing her…

  • 1610 is extremely low for your size, even if you are trying to lose weight. Are you adding in your exercise every day? Listen to your body.

  • If you feel good and aren't having any problems, it should be okay. Just make sure that you are fueling properly and watch for signs of overtraining...elevated resting heart rate, feeling sluggish and fatigued, achy joints. It's a good idea to vary intensity from day to day. Don't work out full-on every day, and take a…

    in 'JUST DANCE 2 Scores' Challenge!!!! Week 1 Comment by andreapoole January 2011
