Zumba burns more calories than most people think...I'm an instructor and believe me when you work out high energy in Zumba you WILL burn the calories..

I still use the spanx on occasion...I've got to have the smooth look!

jHoney is a natural sugar and especially raw honey...it is what I use all the time when I want some sweet in my tea or whatever...

Try some sugar free pudding in it...the dry stuff, stir in some of that into it..

I'm in a little tiny town called Crump in the southern state of Tennessee.... (but it's not where I"m actually from...I was born and raised in Benton Harbor, Michigan...)

If you cannot find it in the store, you have two options. One is to simply put cottage cheese in a colander and rinse it well to remove the extra dairy and then let it dry. The other option is to make homemade farmer's cheese using the recipe below. Dry curd cheese 1 gallon milk, whole or skim 1/2 cup instant nonfat dry…

Meat: chicken Fruit: Gala apple Veggie: Asparagus

Not often....just depends on what I might be eating that you just have to have a glass of milk with...I eat lots of Greek yogurt to get that dairy in...

Unless they're a Pescatarian...then, they eat fish.

Awesome!! And a wonderful inspiration to others!!!

Its just water retention..nothing to worry about..try something i tried to get rid of some bloating i had: I upped my protein, drank more water than usual..cut sugars and other carbs to almost non-existent for about two days and my bloat went away...

Everything!! LOL

I probably will just to see the reality of it.. I know I'll eat my favorite stuff but work hard at trying not to overeat....

I looked at both sets of progress pics and you have done an awesome job!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Whenever I eat m&m's..I have to eat them two at a time and go from eating them right to left side...start right side,then left, etc..lol

Awesome job!!! If you happen to go and look at my pics in my profile, you'll see my before pic...I was 200lbs and I'm barely 5ft 1in. I now weigh 118lbs......that was my goal and I made it!!!!

^^^^ Perfectly stated!! I see the same in the classes I teach.....

^^^ EXACTLY!!!! I know many that come to my class feel funny at first, but when they realize everyone has been there and they aren't watching them, they get into it and have fun!!! They have fun with it and that's the best part...HAVE FUN!!

You don't need rhythm to do Zumba!! It's just about moving at your fitness level and speed....You do Zumba to how you can do it..But just KEEP moving!! You will get infected with the fever of it!!!

^^ What she said!! I'm an instructor and classes like these are THE BOMB!!!! You have to have it fun in the classes to keep the interest of the people coming to the class....If it's boring, they will leave.

How long have you been stuck? If it's not long don't worry..if it's gone on for more than 2 weeks, then I'd try some shake up. When I hit a plateau, which was about 4 or 5 weeks, I ended up zig-zagging my calories...I'd eat high cals on some days and lower cals on the other days, but it still equaled out to the same amount…

Great Job girl!!!!

I myself gave up all things white including white processed sugar and ate whole grains and used honey in place of the sugar or used Truvia. My stomach got flatter(which a personal trainer who I got this from told me that in women particularly, sugars cause a womans bloated stomach and weight gain in that area, especially…
