Love, love, love, LOVE this!!!! =D

Thursday's QOTD (7/21): What is your favorite fun, active thing to do that is not a regulated workout? (*Ahem*, keep it PG folks ). This might be something you get to do on a regular basis, or it might be something you've only had the opportunity to do a few times, like kayaking or rock climbing. If nothing comes to mind,…

LMAO!!!! Word!!!

First off, you can do this girl. You can do it by yourself with no problems, I have no one exercising with me at all, and im just as happy doing it. I got myself into Zumba and now I have Zumba friends and it makes the class all the better. SO while your friend isnt holding up her end of the bargain, it doesnt mean that…

Heres what has helped me tremendously on the Ab front---- 1. Low carb diet 2. Running 3. Zumba 4. Zumba Toning

Thanks for posting this, I couldnt agree more!!!!!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!! Thats AWESOME!!!

Log it in as high impact aerobics. You burn more calories than dance alone.

I ate clean for months and recently switched to eating pretty low cabr and the weight has been coming off with no issues. It works!!!

You can call it any type of diet you want, it isnt healthy, and it will hurt you in the long run. The only type of "Diet" that works is a lifestyle change, or you will rebound and be wondering what happened when you gain back the weight and more.

Huh??? You only eat in a four hour window? Do you mean you dont eat all day long except for those four hours??? I hope not lady. If you do then common sense would tell you that this isnt healthy and isnt going to do anything to help you be healthy in the long run. I would also HIGHLY suggest you see a doctor who…

"I never thought I would tell a stranger this, but... [something silly or embarrassing]" I never thought I would tell a stranger this, but I have a complete phobia of icecubes. LMAO! I cant touch them and if I have them in a drink I cant look at the drink or I would be unable to drink IT!!!

Its weird for me because people say "You have lost SO MUCH weight" and you "You look so much better and healthier". It makes me wonder how horrible I must have looked for people to say such things. Makes me wonder if I had rosy colored glasses on the whole time and didnt see myself for what others saw me as....

Its always good to switch things around. I am constantly doing this myself. I was on a plateau but I was only pretty much doing Zumba. I changed the type of food I eat, incorporated Weights, Running, Sprint Intervals, and P90X, and I rotate everything according to what I feel like doing. Makes your body not get good at…

Google is a great tool to research things that you arent sure about.

Up the protein amount in your snack. Have some cottage cheese and some fruit, or something like that. Anything high carb will make you crash after your sugar comes down from it and you will get into a slump. HIgher protein takes much longer to digest, keep you fuller longer, and wont make your blood sugar go up only to…

Absolutely one of the DUMBEST articles, EVER.

Im aware of that, but no one gains muscle that fast. Fat isnt instantly replaced by muscle. It takes months to gain a lot of muscle mass. I was on a plateau, plain and simple. I wish it was that easy. Plateaus happen, unfortunately... :D

Yes, while this is true, some of us dont lose it as fast as that unfortunately. I burn 500-700 calories a day, and about a month or so ago I was on a plateau and no matter how many 1000 plus burns of calories a day, 1380 calories, I couldnt lose a single OUNCE, never mind a pound a week. And this with me eating exercise…

LOL! Thats funny!!! Im scared of getting hit by a car so im extra careful to get out of peoples way, but I do find that if I see someone jogging slowly, I do need to run past them. LOL!!!!

Anything by Polar is awesome!!!!

My best peice of advice was that I need to just get up and do SOMETHING. I dont have to be perfect at what im doing, but as long as im doing it, then that is good enough for me. 40 pounds later, they were right!!

Heres something better- think of a number in your head and log it, because that is bound to be more accurate than a non-chest strap HRM.....

You guys are so sweet!!!!!! Thank you so much for the nice compliments!!! :heart: :heart: :drinker: :heart: :heart:

Yeppers!! It does seem to be true!!!! Looks delish!!

You are trying ans succeeding in impressing yourself. As you said, you are 59 years old and look at all you can do! Simply awesome, no more pity party, celebrate doing awesome in your quest to get healthy! !

Exercise (every day for a hour, it helps me mentally and physically), lots of water, lots of vitamins, at least 7 hours of sleep a night, and lots of fresh foods.

Oh yeah they do! I went from a 38 DD to a 34 B, no joke girl...

If there is incisions involved, it is considered a surgery.

Then you should switch up what you eat to make sure you get those calories. Lets face it, back in the day before we all joined MFP to lose weight, we were able to eat way more than our daily allotment of calories. Why is it so hard now? It isnt, you just need to make accomodations with your calorie allotment.
