When I had an inner ear infection, my ear didn't hurt and I had no sign of nasal congestion. Dizziness was my only symptom. It could be a number of things. Having it checked out is a wise move.

No one can do all the moves correct the entire time. They would have to be veteran enough to have memorized all the moves and that is only if the instructor is completely static in her routine. We really are way too busy trying to stay on top of it to care what anyone else is doIng. Usually if I have any time whatsoever to…

I went to Zumba today and realized that after 4 weeks, I can now not only make it through the entire 60 minutes without doubling over out of breath but when I walked out, I was the pleasantly kind of tired and alert. In the beginning I told my friend that I didn't know how anyone can say they have energy after a workout…

Heck I've been up a whole pound for a week and it's okay. It does eventually drop again as long as you are hanging in there. Weight seriously does fluctuation a good 3-5lbs on a regular basis. I've been weighing most of my life because my father was a daily weigher and it is a habit. I'm so in tune with what my body's…

When I try to eat cleaner, I eat less calorie dense foods (with a few exceptions). On top of that it is really sugar that triggers a lot of cravings for me. Once I get that down, I find myself not naturally craving a lot of food so my appetite slows down. It isn't a bad thing. It actually brings my portions down to…

I went and talked to the instructor before I started and she put me at ease. She assured me that nobody follows all the moves right away. It's okay. So I concentrated more on getting through it. Did I feel like a dork sometimes? Yes. Am I a natural dancer? Not even close. It was a more fun workout than anything else I've…

Your February picture really shows off the progress you've made thus far!

I have been anti-exercise until very recently. Over the years I have lost and maintained successfully 3 times (3 kids). My last weight loss journey had me losing 60lbs and I kept it off for 3 years. I went to the gym for a few months once a week out of guilt (friend got a free pass if she went with me and I get free gym…

Dip goldfish crackers into it. Yum.

My friend and I talked between sets but we were discussing proper form. I'm new to it all.

I kept going back and forth between FT4 and FT7 and ended up with the FT40 in the end before I even read the last few posts. On Amazon, there wasn't much difference in price between the FT7 and FT40 considering the next one is a big jump in price. Eric, after reading all day yesterday on various websites, that's basically…

Never mind. I already found it in searches and ordered it.

What do you mean by the download feature?

Is it worth it to get the extra $50 flow attachment and get the FT7? I can see myself being a data girl but I want to hear feedback. I'm already ordering this and the fitbit and between both of them it is not cheap. :) The zones would be enough reason for me to get the FT7. Now just need to know if the flow attachment is…

I see it in the shoulders too. I would take a good picture now with form fitting clothes. You may not want to post it now but it will give you a better picture to post against later. I promise if your face looks that much thinner, there are likely areas that you do see more definition and thinning out but the pictures you…

Okay, I'm a little teary eyed too. Thanks for sharing. Write that down and put it somewhere for when you get down. If you have pictures, even better. It'll remind you that you have a lot of great reasons for taking control of your health.

My gym has a smoothie bar. I consider the protein fruit smoothie to be my treat for going to the gym in the first place. They even have an ingredients book with some light nutrition stats. Most of the ingredients are also in the open where we can see what they are putting into it and what brand of products, etc.

Here's my story... I was raised by my dad. He was a bit controlling on the food front. A little bit too policing. It came from the right place. There is a family history and some associated health issues he was concerned about. At the time that he started, I was really okay. He just wanted to make sure I stayed that way.…

That's what I do.

In high school, my lowest was 118. After 3 kids, I dropped to 133 and maintained for awhile about 5 years ago. People were relieved when I gained just a little back. Recently I asked my husband, who is attracted to Skinny Minnie's, why people said that. (This question came 5 years later). He said that my face was becoming…

He is not on a diet. You are. Just because you are ready, doesn't mean he is. Just a thought.

I vote for keeping Netflix an watching Hulu on your computer.

I've never measured myself because I don't have a cloth measuring tape and I keep forgetting to get one. I do, however, have yarn! That's a brilliant idea! Thanks. I know that's not what you intended but the idea came at just the right time. I was even texting my neighbor to see if she had a cloth one. I gave up on trying…

I have the ingredients. I've been wanting cheesecake. Worth a try!

I struggle too but I'm getting into something of a routine. I drink one 16.9oz bottle in the morning with my breakfast. Another with lunch. Another one with dinner. The last one I drink mid-afternoon but if I forget, I drink before bed. I know it isn't ideal considering the pee factor, but it helps. I like my diet soda…

Love your story Wombat. It is absolutely true. People don't change until they are READY to change for THEMSELVES. Today I had a marine chick give me pointers on how to use weights. I have always had a barrier for exercise regardless of what my husband has touted before. It was not for me. I lost weight without it. I don't…

The absolute best thing you could do at the moment is not to worry about her weight and focus on how to reconnect and become a better father and husband and focus on your own self-esteem. Part of this is likely to be a cover up for what's really bothering you about the relationship.

Real men change diapers.

As a woman, I want to be loved regardless of my weight. I don't want to have to worry about the fidelity of my partner because they decided it was time for them. My husband and I have gone back and forth a few times. Mine has traditionally been from pregnancy. My most significant weight loss was 60lbs and it took me over a…
