WYOMING (MN) here :) Loving the summer..... I'll be complaining in 6 months. :bigsmile:

Definite difference! oh, and nice ink ;) Keep up your hard work

:happy: congrats! you're so cute!

Yep, healthy foods can be an acquired taste. Seasoning/herbs/vinegar, lemon juice, lime juice are a great way to increase taste Olive oil, avocado, greek yogurt are my go-to foods when I'm craving something substantial. Really, there's a lot of uses for avocado and I've found it to be the most satisfying food of all time.…

I'm 5'4" 1/2 and a muscular build. I currently wear a size 8 and my smallest adult size was a 4/6 (in my 20s). I'd like to get there again but I think I would have to be restrictive all of the time in my food and I'm not willing to do that. I started at 175# 3 years ago and lost 35 lbs. In maintenance stage I've fluctuated…

YUM! :)

Some weeks are like that, I bet next week you will be back down, and maybe even more than usual! Maybe something is causing you to hold onto water weight this weigh in (is it you time of the month, have you eaten a lot of sodium, HIIT/ lifting yesterday, etc)

I did MN last year, so not sure I can really tell you what the MD is like, but.... -We arrived about 1.5 hours early because of parking and the fact we had to be shuttled to the location. We followed the suggestion in the email and it was just perfect. - Our location was out at a ski slope so we were able to stand in front…

I agree, go to a running or walking specialty store. Even if you don't end up purchasing there you may be able to try a few brands out. My fav store has a treadmill and/or allow you to go out and run on the street to test drive the shoes before buying! Also they will evaluate what kind of shoe offers the best support for…

[/quote] Surprisingly the only negative comment I've ever had running was "Run, Forrest, Run" . [/quote] Oh yeah, I love that one... SO cleaver! lol

You were definitely in the minority. I recall Pepsi Clear being really strange tasting! Appearance is very important for taste

Another benefit to eating a variety of foods is that you can be sure that you are getting all of the nutrients your body needs. When you eat the same things over and over you might not be getting everything you need from your food. Then again, maybe you are! I think many of us go thru streaks of eating the same thing over…

Are you getting enough sleep?? Also very important :yawn: http://www.examiner.com/sleep-health-in-detroit/lack-of-sleep-may-hinder-weight-loss-efforts

How about Blacky 264th Steet :ohwell: I suck at this game! lol

I wonder if this tactic has ever worked for them. I wonder if anyone got a wife because once upon a time, they yelled obscenities at her as she waited for a bus. LOL, doubtful! I don't think there are many girls that appreciate this!

I am around 150 lb and consider myself to be pretty "fit". My HRM shows around 3-400 calories burned after BP :)

meh, who cares... If you're comfortable with who you are, and you're being true to yourself ROCK ON hipster ;)

If you wear a HRM during class you will see that this is a cardio class, although not high intensity cardio. I take BP at the YMCA and they classify it as a Cardio + Strength class, because there are some components of resistance training to it, especially if you lift with high weight.

The soreness will improve, although if you're that sore it might be up to a week! But yes, it does get better if you stick with it. This is an excellent program to jump-start fitness. It was integral in my process of dropping 30 lbs last year :) Keep up the good work, and good luck!
