I have found that although they have virtually no taste I don't like them getting caught in my teeth either and don't like the texture in smoothies etc. So.. I have started grinding them in a small coffee grinder and it makes it a powder of sorts. This way I can add it to soups, smoothies on my oatmeal etc and I still get…

Failure is only a fact when you give up. Everyone gets knocked down, the question is: Will you get back up?

Kelly Clarkson- What Doesn't kill me makes me stronger ..

If you know about when it comes start taking Advil one day prior and take regularly during the first couple days. It really makes a difference and can actually slow down the flow.

You can add your own exercises.. go to the exercise tab and then click on the sub title My exercises. You can add whatever exercise you like. If you dont know how many calories you burn, I would suggest a heart rate monitor for accuracy. If you are estimating there are web sites that can give you an idea of what you may be…

I do this all the time with my apple slices. I use Greek Vanilla yogurt.. YUM!! And it only takes a hint of peanut butter to give it the effect you are eating Peanut butter.

southwestern quiona salad... it is amazing. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/southwestern-quinoa-salad/

I know you can do it!! I am 49 yrs old and last April I was at the point in my life where the few pounds I gained with each year finally got to the point where I had too much extra weight. I lost 30# between April and Oct. I changed my eating habits big time, lots of fruits and vegies, whole grains and cardio 5 times a…

I find that when I do Zumba on carpet I prefer to do it in barefeet. For me wearing shoes of any kind doesnt allow the pivoting of feet, knees etc. I am wondering if your foot is catching as you are pivoting and it is straining your knees?

ACL tears in dogs are one of, if not the most common injury. If left untreated it will develop scar tissue around the sight and arthritis will set in much earlier. She is a young dog and without the surgery she will not be able to run jump and play like a normal dog her age. Yes, the surgery is expensive, yes it is…

Alot of the Kroger items are under their trademark name Private Selection. You should be able to find something comparable if you cant find the exact item.

Yes.. it is very cool and has some great recipes and links to blogs I never would have searched for.

Keep up the good work. You look great! Love the :love: smile on your face especially!!

We used to have someone where i work who would eat other people's food and then pretend like she didn't know it belonged to anyone. It stinks to have that happen to you! Maybe that person needed that lunch because she had no money to buy or bring her own.

Yes Sodium plays a big part in retaining fluid. Once I started tracking my sodium content I noticed a big difference in weight loss and general over all bloated feeling. Good luck!!

It does not take much room for one person and the zumba.. I would say if you have an area about 6-8 ft wide you will be fine.. most of the moves go side to side and you need even less going front and back. I do it in my bedroom because I can stand right under the ceiling fan. Good luck!!

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I am 47 yrs old and started MFP in April. I have never in my life been on any "diet" and knew it was time to lose some of the weight that I have slowly gained over the last 25 yrs. A few pounds a year never seemed like a big deal since I thought, Well I am getting older. I realized that in…

For me I finally made the realization that not only did I need to lose weight but I need a lifestyle change with exercise and especially eating habits. I had been doing zumba faithfully for over a year, biked long distances in good weather, walked almost ever day and certainly was in better aerobic shape but never lost a…

I guess it would help to give you the web site. LOL http://health.walmart.com/tools/calorieburn/

Check out this web site. It lists many different activities and they base it on the time you do it and your weight. I wear a heart rate monitor and this seems to be a bit higher but gives you a good idea. (zumba is under dancing/zumba. good luck!!

My zumba instructor told me recently that a couple years ago she had some injuries to her feet and could not stand to instruct class. She taught her classes sitting in a chair. She did all the upper body/ waist movements and some tapping of feet and she said it was a great workout and she was very sore. I would imagine…

I just got the FT4 for an early Mothers Day gift. I have used it twice now and am still trying to figure it all out. I realized though yesterday on my normal 60 min walk that my heart rate is not in the zone as much as it should be (below) so I guess I need to find a bit more hilly terrain to walk. Good luck with your…

Just curious why the number is so important. I feel sometimes we get too wrapped up in the weight and forget that our bodies can fluctuate here and there depending on certain times of the month, sodium intake, etc.. If you feel good about what you are eating, your lifestyle and knowing that you are healthy that should…
