I love spin class. You get a great cardio work out not to mention good quad workout. This will probably be my cardio of choice because I had a total knee replacement in January. I would suggest either buying the bike shorts, or buy one of those gel seats that you put on a regular bike. They are very easy to slip on / off.…

Agreed - I'm 38F and the gurls sure do limit my yoga poses :( So tired of them! I wear the champion bra from Academy. Works well to hold most of them in.

I started my challenge last week at my heaviest ever - 240. Very frustrating as Dec 2010 I was at 190. So there it is. I'm coming here and logging my meals, and doing my BFL challenge. First week down 6.4 lbs!

All excellent advice!!! Thanks for sharing! And wow on your progress!!

Incredible progress that you should be so proud of!! WOW!!!! Keep it up!!!

WOW incredible progress!!!!!

I take yoga classes as well at a studio, but my alltime favorite it Shiva Rea: Daily Energy - Vinyasa Flow Yoga . Also, there is a website that has tons of taped yoga classes that are awesome. A lot of instructors use this for their own private practice. It's called Yogaglo www.yogaglo.com. I think it's $18 monthly fee for…

Definitely get one with a chest strap - way more accurate. I bought my polar from Academy for about $80 - well worth it. It's still going strong!

Hey there. I don't but can try to calculate it. The problem is this makes a LOT of rub! I just barely sprinkle it over the fish so it goes a LONG way! Let me see what I can come up with :) The brown sugar carmelizes when you bake it... soo tasty!

By the way.. just kidding on stealing the recipe. It actually came out of one of his smoking books lol But he does smoke a mean salmon and this rub is fantastic when baked.

It's fabulous! And it really makes a LOT! Lot's of leftovers or for sharing :) Let me know how it goes!

Yum!!!

Awesome progress!!! !OWOWOWWOWOWOWO

I can't wait for my 38 F's to go down either. Hubby will not be pleased! I would be very happy w/ 36DD

I love this!!! lol

OMG you look great!!!! Excellent job!

That is an awesome way to look at it. And 43 lbs! Wow!!! :) Great job!

Agree with everyone else on the HRM. I burned 620 in one class! It varies though depending on how the instructor feels. The hrm with chest band are more accurate than the armband. Polar sells one for about $70 that works well.

I schedule time on my work calendar for my workout (over lunch) and also for my meals so that I stay on track. For exercise, I have a stability ball and some DB weights. I also have an elliptical at home - however it's out of commission at the moment - wtg for hubby to fix. I have a TRX as well that I use sometimes. It's a…

I happened upon this thread.. Are there still any other active bellydancers out there? Friend me! :) Let's chat about music and dance.

Can I join??? I'm Edie 44 - two boys and...... I love Zumba and bellydance as well :) I have a bit of an knee injury so am having to rest it. Hopefully will return next week. I am not a fan of broccoli or potato salad.

Sha-BUMP!:flowerforyou:

What an incredibly powerful post. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. It's a great reminder that we have to do our part to take care of ourselves.

I agree.. insecurity issues. My hubby is the same way. Not that he will leave me, but he encourages me to NOT diet or exercise. I do it for my health and for me.

Isn't it a great feeling moving on? I went through a divorce in 2000, and have been happily remarried for 5 years. Life truly does go on!

That is so motivating! GREAT job!!!!

This is my kinda thread. I have fallen into the habit of daily wine or vodka/diet sprite to chillax after work. It's a hard habit to break!

Bumping! This is good stuff!

OMG how awful! I was thinking about getting a WII for the Dance Party, maybe I don't want to do the fit part of it lol Great job on your success!

Alcohol for me as well! My nutrition is pretty good and work outs 100%!
