I defninitely say dancing is great, but if you really want it to help with your weight loss I would suggest getting a heart rate monitor to know how much youre really burning. The calorie count on here for dancing is not that great, because it only has certain types of dancing or "general" and that could be anything from…

Think of your body as a car: the more you use it, the more gas it needs. well food is your gas- if you exercise alot, you should eat back some of those calories. I'm not saying you should eat 100% of your exercise calories everyday, but you should try and eat some. And if youre exercising you should be filling those…

Good job!! I love that feeling! But, unless you have money to burn- don't start buying new clothes everytime your clothes get lose or you will be buying new clothes every couple weeks!!!! i know its tough when your clothes feel so big, but believe me, your new clothes will just get loose again too!! Since you just started,…

The easiest way is to use a scale and always do grams. Most of the accurate entries in here will have grams as one of the options; all of the foods entered by MFP do. Also on nutrition labels they alway have grams too. And usually the grams are better to go by, and it does not always match up to the cup/tbs....…

mine are inside my ankle and on my hip. might regret it when I'm pregnant, but havent yet!

Setting mini goals is important (I think). It makes you focus on something other than the overwhelming task ahead of you, such as losing 40 pounds, or 100 or what ever. If you look at it as I have to lose 10 lbs by such date, thats alot easier to swallow than thinking 40 lbs. and if you set dates for you goals then u may…

work it off before you go to bed! The worst kind of binging you can do, it right before bed, because then it just sits in you while you sleep and your metabolism is really low, whereas if you binge earlier in the day, or workout afterwards, your metabolism gets boosted and you still burn some of it off.

log as I go. I never know where the day will take me. Will I need a mid afternoon snack? Will I be able to fit in a work out? will there be free food at work for some occasion? Who knows! I think its too boring to plan out all of my food beforehand. it leaves no room for living life! I don't diet. I have change my eating…

Brown rice and beans. (as previously said) making beans yourself seems like a hassle because they take so long, but if you cook them in the crockpot its super easy. You can soak the beans or not, its up to you. (you MUST soak kidney beans and throw away the soaking liquid and cook them in new liqud though because of some…

on the monitor i have, you enter all of your data, age, weight, height.... Well are you changing your weight before you check your body fat? Espcially if you have lost that much weight, that will definitely make a difference. If the monitor thinks you are 200, but you are actually 175, then it will be measuring you all…

One thing my fiance and i have tried to get away from (as said already) is so much pre packaged food. I just recently made some black beans in my crock pot (super easy). Black beans are great for so many things, but unfortunately the canned ones are high in sodium. So I made my own, now I havea big container full. I will…

drink alot of water and make sure thoughout the day you get plenty of protein and fiber, wich will make you fuller longer. and if it still doesnt work, then get some low calorie snacks to help you, and save some calories for after dinner so you are not going over. i like slimfast strawberry smothie bars (60 cals each)…

to be healthy make them sweet potatoes! add I Cant Believe Its not Butter Spray, for fewer calories.

grilled veggies- onions, zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus, and corn are my favorites! oooo and pineapple! And you can make em into kabobs if you want too. if you make kabobs you can throw some little cherry or grape tomatoes too. salads- bean salads, regular letttuce salads, corn salad, there are a million different…

honestly I would have probably looked up the nutrition facts on my phone (the beauty of smart phones!) and then decide if I should eat it or not.

i definitely agree that "giving up" something is not the purpose of lent. Its to sacrifice something like Jesus did. But I think religion in general is about being a better person, and so I do really like the idea of doing something (or giving up something) that makes you a better person. For example instead of giving…

I think I'm giving up texting a driving. I'm not giving up anything fod wise, because I dont feel like there is one thing I eat too much of that is bad for me.

obviously itts best to take your measurements in a consistent place. For my waist, I measure my skinniest part and for my hips I do widest part so its easy to find. My fiance does straight across his belly button, thats obviously a good place for consistency too. He does that, hips, neck and biceps. Biceps always do the…

oh and when youre grocery shopping, If i'm only getting a little bit, I like to use the little baskets you carry, because then you have to work a little harder. Thats just a tip I do. I wonder if it makes a difference than a cart....

Don't know that this would take an hour, but it sure it tough. I don't remember what it is called, but there is a YouTube video about it, but here's my summarization: Get a deck of cards and pick 4 exercises. Try and pick ones that incorporate a lot of muscle groups. I did it for the first time the other day and I picked:…

I do! My fiance was going out of town for 2 nights this week, one night i had a hamburger and was sooooo looking forward to chinese the next night, but then he came home early (yay!) so I couldnt eat my chinese :( I had been planning it for days!

It happens to me too, and I do think it is beacuse of dry skin and sweat. when I put lotion on before though, then my legs get all slimy from sweat and lotion mixture.....

I like your outlook. Too many people think that losing weight is all about dieting. Well unless you are going to diet for the rest of your life (yeah right!!!) then I think it is pointless! It is about making changes that you can do forever. So that means you do not have to give up every single bad thing, but just learn to…

If you have hand weights, theres a ton of things you can do. If not, you can use cans of food or water bottles and just raise them up and down over your head, or bicep curls or punchin the air in front of you like youre boxing. Stretching is always good. I know this doesnt feel like exercise, but its good for you. i bet…

a wrap (kind of similar to a sandwich though) or chicken on top of black beans with some avacado and salsa on top- one of my fiances favorites- and pretty easy too!

I dont know if this will really help, but make sure you stretch out your legs before so they are not tight and also make sure you are hydrated. One thing that can help with heavy legs, mentally, is to not think of it as taking steps, but think of keeping your arms moving. If your arms are moving, your legs will have to…

I would enter it as "circuit training" if you dont have an actual HRM to measure.
