As a personal trainer and club director at a large gym I can give you this advice.... DON'T ! We are there with purpose and when you think your eyes are meeting they probably are not or if they are it is by accident. Most women don't want to be bothered during their workout. I purposely put my music on so no one will…

Jimmy - Don't get frustrated it is hard. First my suggestion is measure. I am sure you have lost inches and sometimes it is hard to see it when looking in the mirror but you can tell by the way your pants fit and your trainer or I can measure you monthly to help you track the progress. Let me know when you want to be…

check out precision nutrition or see a nutritionist to write you a meal plan. I understand you have enzyme disorder but you need some carbs even if it is a low amount. After looking at your food diary I would urge you to work on consuming quality calories. Lean proteins - egg white, fish, chicken, and one to two servings…

you can add me if you would like too

I have a Keurig and love it ! However it depends on what kinds of coffee that you buy for it. A lot of the flavored coffees have additives where the plains, roasted, and robust are the same as ll other coffees

use high impact aerobics. That is what I tell ym students that don't have heart rate monitors to do. It is pretty close to what my HR monitor saves give or take a few

your Rock N' Roll class sounds fun !!! I teach Zumba and a Body Boot Camp Class. I have to admit I love the boot camp class so much ! It is a hrad work-out with lots of strength training.

Onward and Upward ! You can't change the past but you change what you do from here forward. Sometimes we all need a break. Consider this your break and get back on track tomorrow like you never missed a beat ! We all have moments and go through this. You are not alone my friend. Chin-up :-)

GREAT JOB !!!! Keep it up and don't be embarassed. You had the courage to make the journey !:flowerforyou:

first of all congrats on starting. It will get easier. I have insulin resistance so I understand your struggle. Mu suggestion is too go to settings change your goals and go with a higher protein. go 40% protein, 40 % carbs, 20% fat. honestly you will lose much faster and it will help maintain a constant glucose level…

eat more protein and less carbs to get rid of belly fat. To tweek fitness pal to match go to goals, change goals, and increase your protein to at least 40%. Almonds, avacados, natural peanut butter, egg whites are all good belly fat busters. Make sure you get at least one serving of one of these a day. don't try to do all…

first have your inches gones down ? you may have gained muscle and lost fat. do monthly body fat % checks customize your food settings under the home tab, then under goals, then select change my goals. Increase your protein to at least 40 %, carbs 40%, and fats 20%. that should rev your metabolism some. Plus, women do…

Time of Month :smile:

Do weights first, cardio second. :-)

I recommend to my students to eat some but not all of there exercise calories back. personally I try not too, but some days I do if I feel I really need them. best of luck in achieving your goal !

I allow myself one cheat meal a week and recommend to my students to do the same. it prevents binge eatting. Feel free to add me and follow my weekly blog I post for my students.

feel free to add me and follow my blog. this site is amazing for support !!!

You can join our group. I'll get the team O'Connor girls to friend you from my page. There are 6 of us who log regularly. :wink: I am the "coach" , a personal trainer, and a Zumba instructor. Where in PA are you from ? I am running the Pittsburgh Marathon a month from today. Good Luck and you are on the right track !!!

Raw veggies are usually considered free calories. I don't log all of those

you want to make sure you are consuimng your daily minimum or your body will go into starvation mode and start storing fat instead of burning it. Good luck and keep up the good work.

21 Days to a habit ! Keep it up and force yourself into the gym. If you work out at home you more than likely won't work out as hard as you would at the gym

Get Diet Barq's to keep on hand and get rid of the temptation of regular. All the taste, none of the calories ! Hang in there and get some sugar free gum :-)

I work a full-time job during the day for State Farm then train in the evenings and weekends around my schedule. I charge $35 per 45 min training session and have a pretty solid base of clients for just getting started. I also teach group fitness classes 4 nights a week and starting Jan 18 I will be teaching Zumba 2 nights…

Hi ! This is the program I went through. It is a bit more expensive than others that are out there, however they are one of the highest regarded. I feel like I learned a lot from their program and they touched on nutrition quite a bit as well. Best of Luck ! http://www.nasm.org/

by the way the watch I have is awesome and it is great if you are a runner. It is Garmin forerunner 305

approximately 590 Calories for each hour. Go to http://www.internetfitness.com/calculators/calburncalc.htm and use the option for vigorous aerobics and it almost perfectly matches what my Garmin watch says I have burned each time. Hope this helps ! I LOVE Zumba - I look forward to it all day :-) best of Luck and have fun
