  • Welcome to the challenge Miss CuteandCurvy!
  • 12. What is your least favorite type of cardio? I don't like running, but maybe it's due to poor technique... or not doing it at all... Maybe I should try it again ;-)
  • I allow myself a cheat meal once in a week and I just shift it to important get togethers. If I know it's going to be a big one I try to keep the day low and healthy (I had a protein shake for breakfast and a homemade green smoothie for lunch before my uncle's birthday with a delicious dinner today). And try not to drink…
  • Feel free to add me and check out my food diary... There are some of the 'unrealistic healthy' days or meals and some quite normal ones ;-) I try to do the healthy-vegetable-proteinshake-style for my breakfast and lunches at home and the normal-in-moderation-style for the other meals with friends and once in a while a…
  • This looks like a fun group! Let's go girls and boys and rock the world!
  • 11. Today you will be cooking for your whole family. Find a healthy recipe online that they will also enjoy and show them how tasty healthy food can be! I don't have a familiy to cook for at the moment. But I did a new green smoothie for my breakfast/lunch and I will do some low carb/high protein granola bars for the first…
  • Sounds like a plan! It would be nice to have those 7kg (14 lbs) gone till christmas... I'm 5'3'' and 67 kg (134 lbs?) right know and I just figured out some health issues why it doesn't work losing those last pounds. But I'm confident it's gonna go now. So let's do it!! Altough... I have some vacation going on in two…
  • 10. Do you count calories? If so, what is your daily limit? It's for the moment set on 1450 kcal a day, but on day with a lot of training or teaching there's up to 1000 kcal burnt by 'exercising'. I try to not go over 2000 though. And it works not bad.
  • It is normal for most beginners to struggle with improv. Just go on dancing. But this advice sometimes doesn't help, as your mind goes blank and your body freezes I have to strategies I give my students to do improv. 1) This helps to stop thinking and let your body taking over: put on some favorite music (maybe oriental or…

  • Hey Iochta a good way to tone your upper arms is a not so well known exercise for your rotational muscles. It's the one I give all my clients and students for nice toned arms and it also helps to prevent (or even release) shoulder pain. I try to explain it. Stand there and stretch your arms to the side on shoulder height.…
  • 9. What is your favorite type of cardio? dancing, dancing, dancing - ok, I'm a dancer, dance teacher and dance therapist ;-) and the I bike a lot as this is my way of getting somewhere and getting home. And I live uphill, so it's usually quite heavy biking on my way back.
  • 8. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week? 67 kg.. So I lost 1 kg! Going on, is my plan.. day after day...
  • 6. What is your favorite unhealthy food? I guess it's chocolate...
  • 5. What is my favorite healthy food? I don't know.. I love a lot of foods... And I don't think that one food alone is healthy... I like lentils and eggs, and vegetables like zucchini, tomatoes and aubergine, and goat cheese and other cheeses, and meat like chicken or beef... But maybe one of my main foods that I consider…
  • Hey Liibs I just do some extra proteinshakes after long dancing days and some nuts (mostly almonds but sometimes salted peanuts or mixed nuts) in between classes. This covers some of the burned calories and gives me the energy I need to dance, build muscles and sleep afterwards. But I would not care for refeeding all the…
  • 4. Have a vegan day today. No meat, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products whatsoever. Give it a try! Oh... I probably should read that in the morning... I already had 2 eggs and some dried meat today. But I lived for almost 30 years as a vegetarian and not strict but often vegan, just because I preferred it. Now I feel…
  • 3. Is your UGW in an unhealthy range of BMI? After searching for a BMI calculator on the web I can say: my current BMI is 26.6, the BMi of my UGW is 23.4. But I don't like the BMI as an indicator, because it calculates just height and weight and it doesn't take into account body fat vs muscle percentages.
  • 2) ok, my dream body... it's about 6 to 10 kg (15 to 20 lb?) less, mainly around hips and thighs, but a little bit less everywhere would be great. Except my breasts should stay the same (at least... if I could wish or dream I would like to have them a bit bigger - thank you!) I'm happy with my face and hair. But I wouldn't…
  • 1) 68kg, 160 cm, 35 years, female I would like to go down to 60 kg because i feel and look better then. And because there are some extrapounds that fell like holding my past and not belonging to me anymore.
