Yes, you have to get your migraines under control or you can't function, period. Exactly what other said - neurologist should help you. I tried to find my triggers, so if its something I can cut out (food), I avoid it. I have many triggers. One is dehydration, so please make sure you're drinking plenty of water -…

or borrow this book from the library: http://www.amazon.com/Deceptively-Delicious-Simple-Secrets-Eating/dp/006176793X She shows how to cook then puree veggies to incorporate in mac n cheese, pasta sauce, mashed potatoes, etc. (more for kids, but you can figure how it would fit in to your eating plan.... as kind of a…

Definitely recommend trying new ways to cook & eat said veggies... hunt for low cal recipes on Pinterest. such as (well this is low carb/gluten free): http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2006/09/twice-baked-cauliflower-recipe.html Skinnytaste is another great low cal recipe blog:…

I changed my diary to times rather than B/L/D. So I log what I eat between 9-12, 12-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12, mostly because I eat 5 smaller meals. Definitely snack on more veggies. What is your favorite? If you like celery, its high fiber, low calorie. Alone is best, but you can have a small amount of hummus or peanut butter.…

I joined a chain gym with multiple locations. Now that I have a favorite Zumba instructor, I follow her to 2 different locations, 3x per week. Other days, I go to the location closest to me, which is less than 2 miles away. I don't mind the 20 minute drive there and back because I enjoy my work out, I put in the extra…

Great Protein bars. Cookies & cream and White chocolate raspberry are my favorites.

Great burn! I also took a kick *kitten* Zumba class tonight and I'm 100% certain you can burn that many calories in an hour. Every person is different, every instructor is different, and it depends on your intensity level & weight. Great job!

I understand what OP is saying. You're young enough to nip it in the bud so you don't end up even more overweight at 40 (like me). Although, as for advice, I'm no expert. I'm still learning myself. I have insurance (do you?) and I've signed up to speak with a counselor. I have TONS of knowledge but lack implementing and…

Depends what you want to use it for. I love my FitBit. I love that it tracks my sleep, calories burned, active minutes, etc. I have heard that for best accuracy you need a HRM (heart rate monitor). MFP and FitBit seems a bit subjective on calories burned and won't work if you swim laps. HRM will be more accurate. But I…

All I can say is you have to find your motivation. It's different for everyone. Start with one small goal. Then two. Then three. Maybe today you'll log every morsel you eat. Tomorrow, or next week, log your food AND make sure you're drinking enough water (8+ glasses a day). Maybe your first exercise goal is to walk every…

Oh ya, I've tried the bra + 2 cheapy sports bras from Walmart + another work out top and I still feel like I bounce around too much. (It doesn't help that the bra doesn't fit well and the XL sports bras don't fully cover the girls.) I did find this link: http://www.fitsugar.com/How-Pick-Right-Sports-Bra-18360709 Links to…

Tracking caloric intake is a good suggestion, because of several reasons. I know if I were working out "two hours a day" I'd be ravenous (you do need to fuel your body). So is she eating too many calories or is she possibly not eating enough? If she's trying to eat less, but not fueling her body with all that working out,…

As a woman that has had large breasts since becoming a teenager, I personally know, no matter how much weight I lose, I will always have large breasts. It seems to be hereditary, and I would consider a BR now that I know I'm not having any more children. It's not fun right now wearing ill-fitting bras, trouble finding good…

Yes ---> a few people seemed to take the name the wrong way & obviously haven't seen her show! She promotes making healthier choices, while cooking at home or when eating out. Making a healthier version of your favorite meal can be helpful to some people. Nothing wrong with having options. OP: I won't do her diet, but…

I have the Flex and love it. I like wearing the wrist band and I've never had issues with a rash. I still think I need an HRM for total accuracy. While it is water resistant for sweat and showers, it's not waterproof. I love to track my steps (my goal is 10,000 a day and the wristband vibrates when you reach your goal).…

I would recommend weighing yourself first thing in the morning since your food intake, exercise (or lack of), water intake, etc etc can make your weight fluctuate throughout the day. And take measurements. Measurements and the way your clothes are fitting are the best way to track your progress so you're not only relying…
-
It's not always about the number on the scale (although I completely understand wanting to see the numbers change). Have you taken your measurements? You can update every 4 weeks to track your progress. And, of course, go by the way your clothes fit. :flowerforyou:

Cooking and cleaning is awesome - now, ALL the cleaning, whole house, or just kitchen? :wink: A mani/pedi or massage is always at the top of my list. Breakfast in bed is nice. Otherwise, maybe pack a picnic and go to the park. Fly a kite or do something out of the ordinary. Or pack her a special lunch for that day. If she…

I go to 4-5 Zumba classes a week at my gym. I have DVD's that I don't play, but I LOVE my classes. I've found the instructors I like best (their music, style) and I look forward to every class I attend!
-
I've also been fortunate enough to have several women in my gym classes stop me to tell me they've noticed how much I've accomplished and how much weight/inches I'm losing. Having my husband notice he can hug me closer due to inches lost around the middle! And he's also noticed the curves in the right places. Pulling out…

ZUMBA! Everyone else is right though, calories burned is best to figure out with HRM and age & weight play a factor. MFP says I burn 946 calories in an hour of Zumba but I don't take that number to heart. It depends on the instructor and if I'm all in with total energy or if I'm slacking, I obviously won't burn that much.…

I have the Flex and love it! Agree with pp Premium is optional (I don't pay for it) and agree that tapping the band 6-8 times before bed and when you wake up is easy to do. Flex is water resistant and it feels fine to me to wear it. It tracks my activity levels well with my Zumba classes and all and is helping me achieve…
-
Agreed! Tons of helpful information on that thread! My personal opinion, 1200 calories should be your MINIMUM. Going below that will NOT make your body respond well in the long run (may retain fluids and/or... more... ). Don't focus on maintaining 1200 for a whole year because your needs WILL change! The more you exercise,…

The only flavor I've tried is White Chocolate Raspberry and I love the taste of it! Cookies & Cream (Oreo) is supposed to be awesome, too. I looked at Amazon.com and GNC.com a few weeks ago. GNC.com had a sale price on one flavor only with free shipping and the store matched the sale (12 bars for $24). A friend just gave…

Agree with thrift stores or Walmart. Also, my area has online yard sale pages on Facebook, so you can try to search for a group in your local area or start one!
