Here I am thinking me prancing around like a deer on the balls of my feet is a bad thing and trying to retrain myself to hit with my heel. Running on my toes is all I have ever done for 31 years now. I have been thinking about starting to run this is filled with info for me! Thanks for asking this OP!

I'm a nanny, I used to Zumba with the kids when they were 3 and 4. Just make sure there is lots of space so no little ones get under your toes. Look on sites like half.com or amazon for the game. After a few months at home I ventured out to take classes. If you go to class in community centers the first class is typically…

Getting a Heart Rate Monitor is the best way to know how many calories you burn in a class. Tonight I crushed it and burnt 800 calories, most classes I burn 550 - 600. You get out what you put in! Hope that helps!

Earwigs! They wig me out!

Is your presence irritating him? Maybe you need to talk about that. If it's just that he needs to unravel his own thoughts and feels he can't perhaps HE is the one with a problem, maybe he needs a hobby? I play in my kitchen an awful lot, I really like to cook and if I'm in there making a mess and experimenting everyone…

I stopped eating out and learned to cook mainly because of the money. But now I don't go out because when I do I can't help but think "I could have made that, it would have tasted better and cost 75% less!" I think what I cook is pretty yummy: Eating home made chicken pot pie right now, made a maple glazed pork roast over…

Coffee. I have a piece of fruit mid afternoon when I wake up. Most of my calories are for dinner and lunch.

^ Me too!

Sounds amazing!! Thanks! I will have to try it next week!

Both! I am thinking if I sneak a hundred calories off each day leading up to it (so a 600 cal deficit instead of my normal 500) I'll be good! I really cannot wait for pumpkin cheese cake! :)

Because it's not able to get averaged between every person. You only get out of it what you put in. I go to class Sunday morning and "Half-@ss" it and burn 550 calories. I go Friday night and tear up the floor, high knees, advanced jacks, literally kick my own butt in some moves and burn between 700 - 800. A heart rate…

^I feel that same about those who rag on Zumba! Congrats on your progress!!! Keep it up!

I just made some with Mexican Vanilla. They are in the oven now, I'll let you know how it goes!

Flax seed oil. Same thing, only plant based.

Love this! Funny and true! :)

How many calories are you eating in a day?? Could it be that you are not eating enough? Save 300 calories and have a midnight PB&J. That's what I do any way... On days I'm way under because I was running around crazy all day with no time to eat I'll add a tall glass of chocolate milk into the mix. I think I've been hanging…

Have you been checked for PCOS? This is how I did feel when I was heavier but as I have lost weight it has gotten better. I, in fact, WAS hemorrhaging every three months or so month for nearly 2 1/2 weeks! :( Go to your doctor and talk this through!!

If you eat a lot of low cal or diet things you could easily switch it up for some regular things and still make calorie goals without adding additional foods in. Sugar in your coffee instead of an artificial sweetener, real butter instead of fake ones, regular salad dressings, peanut butter... Pick more calorie dense foods…

Sarbra red pepper hummus is THE best! Try it! You can eat it with anything but I like it on pretzels, whole wheat and honey roasted turkey sandwiches, pita bread, celery sticks... Just on a spoon! I use avocados instead of mayo in chicken salad!

Eat more. Calculate you TDEE and eat 20% less. Here's a link to how to do it. It works. I am 5'4" 187 pounds and I'm eating between 1800 - 2000 calories depending of my activity level and am losing without feeling deprived. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

I think it's very accurate, since I got mine, 42 days ago, I have lost 7 pounds!

LOL I have been known to pace around my house to get that last 1,000 steps before I go to bed. I'm glad I'm not the only one! :) Yes, I have a fitbit as well. I picked it up this morning and it professed its love for me... The feeling is mutual, I adore my fitbit! LOL

Congratulations AmyNiceNEasy!

A fitbit is an amazing little device that tracks steps, distance, flights of stairs, activity level, sleep and calories burned. Think pedometer on steroids or bodybug only more discreet and affordable. I adore mine! You can look them up online.

I'm a nanny. I deal in bubbles and playdough and have a love of hopscotch and hula hoops. :) (Seriously on the hopscotch and hula hoops, great calorie burners!)

I am a student and a part time nanny. I live on very little but I stock up on things when they go on sale I use coupons and I buy the least expensive option always. That means generic everything, a bag of unpealed carrots that I prep into carrot sticks instead of the fancy baby carrots, dry beans and rice, if I want a…

You can get 30 day shred online for free. I pinned them on pintrest so I would never lose them! Level one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pc-NizMgg8&list=PLC3DC474B4B436F06&index=1&feature=plpp_video Level two: http://vimeo.com/40094984 Level three: http://vimeo.com/40521202

Little black dress, witches hat, broom! Easy costume and you get a chance to wear that hot little black dress!

I know it can be tough but you need to look at the positive things!!! IN 46 VERY SHORT DAYS YOU HAVE LOST 35 POUNDS!!! My four year old goddaughter weighs that so YOU LOST A KID!!!!!!! It took me 16 1/2 months to lose 41 pounds. Keep your head up and keep at it! It is hard at first to see a difference but it really is…

Thanks everyone! It is awesome! I went through it all today to take inventory so I could have a plan of attack at goodwill so I could buy all new everything but it turns out I will just need a few dress pants and a few nice tops for parties. LOL Yes, I do have some stuff from my 20's too but they are not too bad mostly the…
