lets see if i can answer you question correctly LOL... Ok when i looked at your before and after first thought that came to mind was "WOW you look amazing" to me appearance is a big sign that someone is in good physical shape..ya? you are tall and lean so I would think you are making good food choice and getting enough…

Depends on the workout that I am doing. If its zumba I like to to take my time cause its fun, If i'm running I like to take my time cause it is relaxing and mind clearing for me. If its Taebo I like to work my hardest and burn as much as soon as I can.. not my fav. workout... same with the elliptical I put it on full and…

if you drink caffeine or alcohol cut those out for a few days and see if that helps... it always helps me .. good luck. I know its a big downer to feel bloated I use to get so bloated that i looked like I was in early pregnancy stage :-/ but once i cut back on caffeine ( i actually cut it out completely) i helped tons..…

I have been having the same problems. but mine was accompanied with headaches... have you considered being low on iron. when i explained my symptoms to my mom ( a nurse) she said i needed to be better about taking my mutli-vitamin. so I started one that has 100% of my needed iron and now I am fine.. maybe it wasn't the…

get one with a strap that has the option to be used without a strap. Thats what I have and I wouldn't get a different one for anything.just remember that you get what you pay for... so those few extra bucks will make all the difference.

as long as you have the right sports bra to wear with it, it is very comfortable. I bought a new sports bra that was too tight and It was sooo uncomfortable to wear. but once I got a better fitting bra I was fine. I love mine and wear it for every workout that I do.. sometimes I even wear it while I clean house or garden…

Hey in our defense.. our bodies are very complicated.... just like our personalities LOL ;-)

I picked up sun crystals at Fred Meyer yesterday. although after my Truvia experience I am still hesitant.. I havent opened it yet and plan to research it to make sure it is as pure as it claims. I am happy that the ingredients are only two things : pure cane sugar and stevia. the problem is that some companies alter the…

you look so good! WAY TO GO!!!!

I t eat really bad while drinking.. cookies, chips, candy... anything sugary and salty!! its bad... but when i am hungover i usually make up for it because i can never eat anything but fresh fruit and drink recovery Gatorade.

Thanks for all the advice ladies... I am relieved now.. and am very confident that this is normal and healthy. although i will keep track of things and call my doctor if anything changes dramatically :-)

Mine is set to public... It helps keep me accountable for what I put in my mouth :-)

I'm in :-)

My body started to react in ways that were painful and harmful.. I started feeling numbness in my extremities and face. My joints hurt all the time and i was always tired and moody. After many MRI's and countless tests.... and finding nothing wrong on paper... I had no other options but to start making changes to my…

I would say you are too skinny for your size... but to be sure I think you should see your doctor. I am 5' 5 1/2and i weigh anywhere between 116-120 depending on the week... my pant size is 3-5 I have a very small frame and have always been known as the tiny one...knowing my history with just being small (when i was…

I agree... and I hope you are not aiming to be as skinny as the people in those pics.. that is just not healthy

My homemade Mac and Cheese.... I make it for my family once week but I never eat it with them :-( although I do always sneak a bite.... hey I have to make sure it tastes good LOL

I don't know what your personal trainer is talking about.. there are many resistance exercises that can help to tone up the back of the arms. resistance bands are great for this as are dumbbells. just google it you will find tons of ideas :-) good luck!!!

well a lot of factors come in to play on how many calories you burn during exercise... weight, height, age, heart rate.... no two people will be alike.. but if you want an average give us your stats so we can help you out :-) I think a HRM is a really good investment... one day i can i burn 300 or more calories on a…
