  • I dance salsa and work out, so when I am in hard core training mode and dancing 4 hours a day, or more, I can easily burn a TON of calories. It's not unheard of for me to go to a Salsa convention and lose 6 lbs in 3-4 days. 8+ hours of dancing a day. Try doing a few different strategies, a workout in the am, and a dance…

Just keep swimming, it will get better. The thing that you have to do is commit to a lifestyle change and not a diet. Diets don't work, the restrictions and…
