  • Thanks to you both! I'm just so nervous, yet excited at the same time. :tongue:

  • I try to work out 5-6 days per week. Super crazy weeks I might only get 3-4, but I try for 5-6. Typical week is 3 Zumba classes, a step class, and two days of circuit weight training. I need at least one day of rest per week, and sometimes two if I'm exhausted.

  • Frosted strawberry poptarts are always around my house because DH and DS eat them on a daily basis. I cannot eat them because they are a trigger food for me. I love a warm strawberry poptart, but it quickly turns to two, or three, or... and other not-so nutritious choices. I allow myself to have treats on a daily basis,…

  • I would change my shoes. Shoes make a huge difference in a lot of workouts, but especially running. I have running shoes, I have zumba shoes, and I have cross trainers. You can go to a running specialty shop and get fitted for shoes that can really help with the shin pain.

  • I think it's crazy the difference that different body-shapes wear different sizes. I'm 5'5", 155, and a size 8. I'm very long legged with a booty, but thin thighs.
    in I am still a size 8! Comment by dmsl977 May 2014
  • I'm 5'5", small framed, but with very long legs (I have a 33" inseam.) My goal is 140. I've been as low as 128 in the past, but I looked sick. My husband would start force-feeding me. lol At 155, I am comfortably in an 8. The smallest size I would want to wear would be a 6.

  • Try adding a small amount of baking powder to your flour (whichever type flour you use.) The baking powder will help them firm up. Also, medium temperature for several minutes (7ish) on each side. Look for the bubbles to start to pop. DO NOT TURN TOO QUICKLY. This will cause a gloppy mess. HTH!

  • Alot depends on the kind of music you like. I personally couldn't listen to a lot of hard rock. I like country, but could never work out to it. I listen to a lot of upbeat Top 40 stuff. Some songs on my playlist: Timber - Ke$ha/Pitbull International Love - Chris Brown/Pitbull Yeah - Usher Drive By - Train I actually have…

  • I'd like to join in. This is my first post, though I've lurked for quite a while. I'm not truly looking for a full 20 more pounds, but in the 15-20 ball park. Also, Sept. 15 is my birthday, so I feel like it's a great goal date. :) SW: Jan. 1. 14: 170 CW: May 7, 14: 156 GW: Sept. 15, 14: 140
