I am 5'4" and 155, I too would LOVE to be 120, but my first goal is 135!

My instructors don't have a class that early! If they did I would definitely go... I definitely prefer working out before work and early in the morning! Gives me a lot of energy for the day instead of right before bed haha. The earliest class we have is 9:30 during the week and then 8:00 am on Saturdays (which I go to when…

We don't have any men in our clas in Iowa either but I have seen a couple come though for a few months at a time and then disappear. Is anyone having a "Girls Night Out" party in November?? My instructor said if any of us can get a guy to come we get a special prize!! HAHA! I am going to trick my boyfriend into coming :)…

WOW!! That is an amazing story and a HUGE inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing that!

Agreed!! I started when I was 16 and have gone on and off ever since!! Even when I try other types of exercise, I always come back to Jazzercise! It is like home for me :) They have asked me to be an instructor and I wish I could but I just can't commit to it with my work schedule :(

I didn't go last night (because I missed the bus that would get me there on time) and I can't go tonight because it is before I get off work, but I am definitely going tomorrow morning's 8:00am class!! I go in Cedar Rapids, IA :)

Yay!! I am a big Jazzerciser! :)

Can I have the recipe??? :) Do you know the calorie count??

I want to lose about that too! I have been jazzercising on & off for about 9 years and I always go back to it because it is a great work out and lots of fun!! I am so happy to see a group on here :)

I don't like to think that I am being deprived of things, but that I CHOOSE not to eat certain foods regularly! When I have a get together or dinner out with friends, I just plan my day around it. I try to eat pretty light during the day and just snack so that I have more calories for that certain thing I want to eat! I…

YAY! Isn't that GREAT motivation???

Wow! I didn't realize so many people had responded to this e-mail! I have been doing jazzercise for 10 years and I always go back to it because it is fun and it is a GREAT work out! We should start a thread like someone said earlier, how do we go about doing that??? ANY JAZZERCISERS PLEASE ADD ME :)

As much as I hate eliminating anything from my diet ( I tend to feel deprived and give up when I can't have something and want it) I think it is very necessary to stay on track! If it is only going to create guilt and regret, why do it to yourself?? Maybe find something that tastes similar and isn't as high in calories??…

SQUATS SQUATS SQUATS!! =) OH... and wall sits!

EXACTLY my problem.... I also have the problem with waking up and feeling like crap even if I have a few beers... and it seems like the ONLY cure is half the menu at Mcdonalds. It gets me WAY off track because I can't keep it at a couple or few beers... :(

Yeah I know exactly what you mean!! I work in a hospital and we have a very large cafeteria with any food you could possibly want (most of it bad for you, which is sad that it is IN A HOSPITAL!) haha. If I don't feel like bringing a lunch, I know I can always go there. Well I started to rely on that a little too much...…

I agree that it really hasn't "clicked" for me completely but it is motivation to hear your story!! I guess I made a small step today in making my own lunch to bring to work and choosing an apple with PB instead of a big giant cookie in the cafeteria!! Isn't it amazing how much better you feel about yourself with such a…

Planks are a GREAT idea :) They are great not only for your abs but for your legs, back, arms and shoulders!! It is really hard at first, I agree... but if you start at 15 seconds... and just move up you can eventually build your endurance! All you have to do is push yourself a little bit at a time :)

I always find staple foods that I can go to for meals and are easy to make like: -Turkey sandwiches/wraps -Hummus & crackers -Cottage cheese (LOVE IT) I especially love it on baked potatos -Frozen veggies (the steamers) -I am not a vegetarian but I love morning star farms (fake) chicken patties -Chobani/any greek yogurt…
