Use either Steel Cut or Old Fashioned, even if it's the microwavable kind. . That way if you need to add any sugar, you can control how much and what type you use. I start with plain and will add any of these to change it up: peanut butter or PB2 peanut powder, dried cranberries, raisins, crushed walnuts/pecans, banana,…

Yes, we do! I'm 5' 8.5" and I never omit that .5". LOL :laugh:

It's what keeps me sane. I had been away from classes for far too long and had an on/off relationship with both the gym and my treadmill, before going back. Been Jazzercising since August 2011 and became instructor that November. I was determined to never let it go again. Yes, I love Jazzercise.:heart: :love: Created by…

Don't be scared of eating too much, because if you eat the "right" foods, you'll be full for a longer portion of the day. Add as much fresh fruit and vege's to your snacks as possible and try to limit how often you use processed foods. Your last few pounds could be due to your daily sodium intake. Remember, it's not how…

I just completed a Polar Training seminar and you "CAN" wear the chest strap backwards. This should help the problem of "the girls" getting in the way. They also now make a sports bra, which you use instead of the strap.

We just started a 12 week Forever Fit program at our Jazzercise center. It's been great to see everyone really work hard at meeting their weekly goals. Keep up the good work!

I've never taken a Zumba class. I do Jazzercise, myself and just got certified to teach. However, it's all about having fun with your workout. There are lots of options out there for a dance fitness program and you have nothing to loose but calories and sweat, as you dance the weight off. Regardless of which program you…

You're on the right track, as I've read that you should eat at least 1-2 hrs prior to your workout. You could try just having a PB sandwich in the 1hr before and then an apple or banana on your way to your workout, I think the banana is the better choice. Post workout, protein shake or high protein energy snack bar and you…

Look into the POLAR HRM watches or something similar. It tell you how many calories you've burned.

I'm on a 1330 plan. I thought, no way! But, I'm not hungry. Here's something to think about. Low fat, low sugar & high fiber. It works! Make a list of the foods you like, foods you might try and foods that you say "No, way! I don't like that". Then mix and match them. You may not like a mixed greens salad, but starting out…

Build a better salad! Try adding a variety of new crisp & crunchy veges to your salad. I recently started to purchase the mini bell peppers, because they're easy to add to salad and great for a snack. Same with grape tomatoes and sugar snap peas. I didn't realize that I liked raw shredded beets and jicama, in my salad…

Hi Sasha! Congratulations on your weight loss so far! :smile: I took a look at your food diary and here's what I think. It's lacking in variety. Sometimes, if we eat the same things continually, specially when we're trying to loose weight, our bodies become accustomed to functioning on those calories, which causes our…
