haven't tried fabletics but I'm actually really happy with my leggings I picked up from Walmart (danskin I think?). They were 11 dollars and I wanted something cheap because I don't like doing laundry all the time. I have a pair of their cottony ones which are nice, and I have one of the more spandexy pairs that I also…

I use the zumba calculator here because I don't have an HRM http://caloriesburnedhq.com/zumba-calories-burned/ I will say it is super super dependent on how hard you get into the workout though. Zumba is realistically my only form of exercise right now that's planned, but when I go I try HARD. Every hip motion is tight,…

5'4" goal weight of 115 lbs, 2 pounds to go. Feel free to send me requests if you want encouragement / don't believe in strict cutting of foods completely out of your diet :)

Yoga isn't all about stretching. Hot yoga especially - find a vinyasa flow class. Fast paced, hot room, a great work out

I do hot yoga occasionally. Definitely make sure you understand the basics. Some positions with minor tweaks become a lot easier. Ex: downward dog - that's a resting position but some people have a really hard time with it when their arms and legs arent balanced. I like yoga a lot though :) It takes time to learn to use…

30 bucks a month, 24 hr gym. It was 45 but we did a couples package - my fiance and I - so instead of 90 (45 each) they drop it to 30 each.

Worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair, it gets you no where. Stop worrying, go out and do something.

Great job you should be so proud of yourself!!!

Yes hit my goal of 120 last week. Shooting for 115 now. My goals beyond that will be with more muscle gain and no longer weight loss

My August goal is to eat more calories. I just recently switched from 1200 to 1350 calories and it's weird for me. Also I started Zumba more religiously this month. I was doing 2x a week and I have bumped it up to 4x a week so I hope to adjust to that this month :)

hi :) I just finished my first 10 pound goal but I have 5 left of my newer goal, feel free to send a request!! Welcome!

I just give in and eat like total crap when I am pmsing BUT I just make my meals the junk I'm craving so I'm not eating junk on top of other meals too. Sometimes my breakfasts will be...cookies and muffins.... and then I'll have an ice cream bar later in the day after 'lunch' lol. I just try my best to set aside calories…

about 10 minutes after my last bite I will start feeling full. It took me a few weeks to get the hang of what sized portions usually make me feel full and If the full feeling hasn't set in quite yet and I know it's a 'usual' portion, I will drink a glass of water and usually that does it

like most people said, get fast food!!! If I know I am craving fast food I will eat super healthy for breakfast/lunch and set aside the calories for the fast food. Also if you get a small fries and a burger/nuggets and drink a glass of water or something before you eat it's still surprisingly filling after it's gone.

berries with cool whip OMG divine. You can use the lite cool whip if you want..or some angel food cake

League of legends / casual mmo (ex hardcore raider lol) here :)

I loved it!! I stopped using it though because running the location services makes my phone die faster than I appreciate :)

Thanks all!!! Yeah I am finding it to be FUNNNN and such a good way to burn calories, I'm getting to my goals faster than I anticipated. I try my first zumba toning class next week :))

an hour of zumba today later this evening. Need to clean my pool and walk my dog during the day

I found that reducing drinking soda has actually made me prefer things a little less sweet. I usually drink my juice with a little water added to it so it's not so strong, plus you get 'more' for the same amount of calories. I got used to drinking orange juice/cranberry juice a little watered down (75/25 usually) and it's…

I agree that it might be easier to continue eating sugars just do it in moderation and after a large glass of water or a big meal so you are less likely to keep going. Just fit 100ish calories a day for a treat, etc. Some protein powders taste pretty darn delicious

my wedding is next july so by then DEFINITELY :) but, the end of this summer would be nice!!!

as soon as your friend eats like normal she's going to go right back to original size. It's not a long-run solution unless you literally want to kill your body.

make a to-do list together that she can check off every day while she's at home so you can have raw data that she's not doing enough etc and it won't be a personal attack

yeah, the vanilla extract really helped with that I think, and the sweetener. I've also had a lot of eggy ones , yuck

yes :)

congratulations on your huge loss, it's definitely not luck - I'm sure you poured so much hardwork into your results. Hopefully that person was inspired and joins :)

dog lover here ;) Funny that you post this on a fitness website but a lot of dogs that smell bad usually have a poor diet! I feed my dog really good food and she smells fantastic at a rate of about 1 or 2 baths a year. I love dogs but am in the boat with you that I can't stand dogs that people didn't spend time training.…

Congrats!!! You look great
