They may not be the best shoes, but I got a pair at payless that are made for dancing. They are made by Champion and look kind of like running shoes, but they have a slick material on the bottom that allows you to pivot. They were about $20 and I have been wearing them for over 2 years. I went to a hip hop class tonight,…

I started juicing in December and I have noticed a huge difference in my energy level. I'm not fasting or doing anything extreme, just having one glass of fresh fruit/veggie juice a day and trying to eat right. I haven't had a nap since (I was once told I was napping my life away lol). Even on the days I don't do so hot on…

To stay on track with eating healthy I keep the phrases "Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym" and "you can't out-exercise a bad diet" in mind.:wink:

I have Zumba 2 and I love it. I didn't really like the first one, but I also didn't give it much of a chance. I was already familiar with Zumba, but the dances in the game were different than what I had done before. They are easy to pick up after a few trys and it is really alot of fun :)

I feel the same way about people at work waiting for the elevator in a 2 story building. It is only one flight of stairs! I understand the people that need it (injured, handicapped, pregnant), but when I see able-bodied people just standing there waiting instead of climbing 1 flight of stairs it makes me shake my head. I…

You can find some of the DVDs on ebay. The Sculpt and Tone DVD is a great workout! I have both DVD sets, but probably do that one the most often. Zumba Fitness 2 for the wii is also great. I have been doing Zumba for 2 years, but just went to my first live class this week and I love it so much more! It is so much fun, I…

I haven't checked it out yet, but skinnytaste.com has an under $10 section. Everything I have made from that site has tasted wonderful, even to the kids. It also has lots of healthy casseroles that can feed a big family.

I'm with abnerner....try skinnytaste.com. Everything I have made from that site has been amazing!

I use LCC in chicken cordon bleu. It's so good!!

"you look good for your age" Like women over 30 shouldn't look good?...ugh!

I have the 2nd Zumba game for the Wii and I love it! I was really disappointed in the first one.

I say wear nothing but a heart rate monitor and log it!! :laugh:

Everything you just said is told to me almost every day! People bigger than me get irritated when I say I'm trying to lose some weight. I may not be huge, but I have a right to want to look and feel my best too. I need to lose about 12-13 lbs. and tone up. I was thinking of posting something similar. We can do this!!

I had the same problem. I was entering "modern dance" or something like that and it was saying I was only burning 200-300 cal/hour. I recommend getting a heart rate monitor and tracking your own calories. I did that and it said I was actually burning 800-1000 cal/hour! :)

Guilty pleasure, but E.T. by Katy Perry....the version that doesn't have Kanye West in it..

Definitely Mexican food...especially sour cream chicken enchiladas!!

DOH!!:laugh:

Chicken Cordon Bleu made with those light swiss laughing cow cheese wedges and smoked ham is delicious!

I would recommend getting a heart rate monitor and creating your own exercises. :smile:

This will be my first time. I have always wanted to do it, but never thought I could reach the fundraiser goal. This year I decided to go for it and I am halfway there! I haven't even started asking for donations yet. The walk here in Dallas isn't until November, so I'm sure I can make it by then. I think I will do this…

I think you will find the motivation and encouragement you need here. I know when I start losing my motivation, I get it back when I see that my friends did complete their goals for the day. Feel free to add me if you like...I could use more buddies!

I make a packet of plain oatmeal and smash a banana into it really well. It sweetens the oatmeal, gives it some flavor and you have a 200 cal breakfast. If I have some, I will add some chopped strawberries, blueberries, or and even some almonds. Great way to start the day!

I bought a cook this, not that cookbook...everything in it is 350 cal and under. I have only made a couple of things so far, but they were pretty good!
