  • I love a wide variety of music, tending toward rock n roll but also getting into soul, jazz, hip-hop, techno, blues, even classical. A lot of what I play for working out depends on mood. I like to start out with slower songs, then play some progessively faster music, then slowing down again during cool-down.

  • Keep going. Go slower maybe the next time and do not forget to stretch when you are done with your workout, helps release the tension in the muscles and ease the soreness. :)

  • WOW see I probably do not worry about sodium enough because I am focused on calories, "good fats vs bad" and trying to get enough protein, calcium, etc. I am noticing that even though I am doing everything "right" I cannot seem to get the last 10 pounds off. I thought perhaps it was my water intake (which I am increasing),…

  • Why would it not be? Is there something wrong with ramen noodles that I am not aware of? LOL you can eat anything you want as long as you keep your calories within the limit that has been set according to your weight and how much you want to lose, etc. So yes, eat them and make sure to use the MyFitnessPal food tracker to…

  • When I first started the journey in 2007, it was a photograph of me fixing my daughter's hair for her prom. The size of my arm, and belly that was bigger than my chest, was truly the last straw! Over the past year and a half I have slowly gained back 27 of the 80 I lost. My recent "last straw" was getting on the scale for…

  • Welcome Jake and good luck with your goals! Although most of us want to lose weight overall, I know that I personally strive to be more fit, athletic, and toned, so I can relate to that part of your desires. Hope this site helps you get there!

  • Scared of it? After 4 kids, it was a reality for me, not just a fear! In fact, even when I was thin and had little body fat, I still had the dangly tummy. It's only in the past couple years that I have started losing the extra fat and skin in that area and get some tone and muscle instead. . My youngest is 20!

  • Zumba ~ It's alright, but many of the move and quick changes are a little complicated for me. I get moving, get grooving, do what I can, enjoy watching the hard bodies and going with the music. So I like it well enough!

  • My magical name is how it started back in my 20s, but now it is almost always my screename. I was born in September, hence the Sapphire. One of my spirit or totem animals is the tiger, and I liked the idea of changing the spelling to "tyger"
