Have you heard about or looked into Tracy Anderson's Metamorphosis program/Method? She has 4 different body types - mine is Hipcentric. I started last year in May and within 2 months had tightened and toned and was beginning to get back my ballet body from way back when. ;-) Even when I was practicing ballet 5-6 days a…

^^This. You must take care of yourself first, I completely agree with this post. Good luck! I hope you have a great day tomorrow and that your son gets better soon!

I second Shaun T's Rockin' Body! Super fun and a GREAT workout!! I also do Zumba but in classes because they are more intense (well, depending on the instructor). Have fun finding new things! :-)
-
Good for you for sticking with it though and yes, it's amazing how sometimes the scale won't change but the inches do! Holla!!! ;-) I actually DID do her meal plan for 2 months and felt and looked great - it was more of an elimination diet for me though to figure out what I'm allergic to - found out a lot of crazy things…

Great name! ;-) I wear my HRM and it does depend on the intensity of the class/instructor - last week I went to a fun, super high-energy Zumba class and burned 923 calores in 60 minutes!! Last night I went and it was a different teacher - much more mellow - and in 58 minutes I burned 591 calores - BIG difference but still…

Hmmmm, but how do you know someone's goals? For instance, I've calculated a healthy calorie goal for weight loss, 20% below TDEE which is 1,718, but I choose to log my exercise so in my food notes I show what my daily goals should be not matter what. It LOOKS like I have a really huge deficit but I'm following my plan. If…

LOVE Zumba! Started about 3-4 months ago and was only going once a week. I want to start going twice a week, went Sunday morning and am going again tomorrow night. Super fun workout! I wear my HRM each time and the lowest I've burned was ~800 calories! Two Sundays ago I burned 923 calories in 60 minutes!! It's definitely a…

The only Raspberry wine I have ever had was Jewish Passover wine called Manishewitz (sp?) and I got sick off of it is was so sweet. I agree - wine in moderation is actually good for you! During the summer I am addicted to Rose - so light and refreshing and only 79 calories for 4 oz! :happy: Red wine is the best and I agree…

Awesome - thanks, @Athena! I'll look next time I'm there! :smile:

Thank you MFP friends!! I will look into both of these! The Omega Blendz from Costco, what section will I find that in? A friend told me about it as well but I couldn't find it. Thanks!!
-
Thanks, Jess! I'll have to look into that. I was just googling and it said that it should be 1:2 ratio somewhere else. Guess I need to either consult a physician or do more research. Also, does that mean that they are two different types of omegas? I thought flaxseed meal was also omega 3 but again, not 100% and I don't…
-
LOL! You're right. I should ask my doctor. Thanks for that reminder. :smile: Thanks for sharing your info though! Very much appreciated!

Hi! I've been an avid Bikram yogini for about 7 years and the only times I noticed weight loss were when I first started because I drastically changed all of my habits and when I did a 100-day challenge. I didn't drop a ton of weight with the challenge because I was already at a pretty healthy weight but my body looked…
-
Hi axdreamx! The workouts ARE tough! I managed to do her meal plan successfully for 60 days and always ate at least 1,200 calories even though some of her prescribed days were only about 800. I found her diet very helpful to me in that it helped me figure out quite a few food allergies because it is kind of an elimination…

Hey muffin top! Bummed I didn't know about this group before! Anyhow, in the first 90 days it seemed most of her reps were around 40. When I was about to start a new level I used to watch and count the night prior and write down into a tiny notebook the reps. Then when I started the next morning id watch what she was doing…
-
Hey girly! Had no idea this group was here,how cool! Anyhow, regarding the dance cardio. Yeah, it's pretty stomping heavy. I tried doing it while on vacation in a hotel room and it was horrible I stopped. I was shaking the entire floor, ugh! At home I can do whatever I want but I've had lots of problems with severe pains…
-
Hi Kimberlee! I am still doing TAM. Started a little over a year ago and had some bumps in the road but I completed day 168 this morning and am still loving it! Due to my bumps in the road I put back on some of the initial weight I lost but I can already see results again, muscle tone and strength, for sure! I'm excited to…
-
Hey Tammy! Great to meet you and kudos for getting back on here to see your results. I know what you mean. I am motivated by seeing that ticker move and also being able to check in with my new and smaller measurements. Good for you! Am excited to be friends. Last year I started the Tracy Anderson program and was super gung…
-
Thank you, I can see your logic in doing this. I might start making my own sweet potato "chips" at home in place of buying packaged chips. I do agree,old habits are super tough to break. I guess I think what's the harm if I can control the portion. I've never had trouble controlling portions unless I drink too much wine…
-
LOL, sorry! :ohwell:
-
This does sound delicious! Am going to try this as well! Thanks!! :happy:
-
LOL! I won't read this response to him. He's already mad that "everyone is against him.". :laugh:
-
I agree with this completely! A long time ago I used to call certain foods "evil." I read somewhere that doing that gives that food power over you and that feeling guilty about eating something is not the way to go. I stopped demonic ing foods a few years back. I think maybe it's because I buy them and he has no self…
-
He says it's because he's never seen a nutrition booklet or information out there where it has one serving of chips in it......ugh!!!
-
Love all the responses, thank you!!! Great suggests to is to actually weigh them, whoever said that, I will start doing that because usually I just count them out. Thanks for that suggestion! Appreciate everyone's thoughts and opinions.....very helpful! :smile:
-
Wow! That is amazing, WTG!!! You look fabulous, what a transformation! :smile:
-
Hi butterfli! Yes, I feel the same way - I feel like I *should* be eating something so it's good to read your comments also.......I'm also doing a post-workout high protein shake which I LOVE! :smile: Thanks for your recipe - sounds YUMMY!!
-
Yes, thank you MtnKat! I am good with the refueling as I've been doing my whey protein shake but am just questioning the eating prior - yes, I agree with you! We're already getting up super early, I have to get up even EARLIER just to eat?! :smile: THanks for your comments!!
-
Hi Bubs05! I am the same way - I get VERY light-headed and that can't be a good thing - it depends on how long my workout is. If I'm doing a quick 30-minute strength workout sometimes I'll be fine but sometimes it'll just hit me and I have to stop......thanks for your support!
