Roller Derby
I have found my fitness love! For a year I have danced around joining my local roller derby team. I wasn't sure if I was fit enough, tough enough,more if the cost of gear and fees would be worth it. Well this week I joined, and it is the best decision or my health ever! Let me just say, I have not skated in 15 years! And…

Any suggestions on how to log Piyo in my exercise report? Right now I am classifying it as pilates. Piyo is a combo of yoga and pilates. It utilizes the balance and stretching of yoga along with the movement and strength training of pilates. For example, we might do a 15 second plank, followed by downward dog, then back…

Zumba Workouts Online??
Does anyone know of a good source to find FREE zumba workouts online. I did some searching and youtubing last night, but had problems finding links that worked and were easy to follow- many of them are shot from wierd camera angles, or just hard to see and hear. I am a novice zumba'er so basic is best!

Freezing Leftovers/Extras
As a "moderately extreme" couponer, I hate wasting food and money. And I like to stock up on things while they are on sale. And my spouse is away, so I struggle even more to finish an entire load of bread, or a batch of soup. Any tips out there on how to freeze and store leftovers or extra food when a single package is too…

Tighten the purse strings AND the belt!
Like everyone else, we are buckling down and spending less in our house. Cheap food can be cheap for a reason- sodium, corn syrup, and fillers. Anyone have a recipe for an inexpensive meal or dish they like to make? A HEALTHY dish (add calorie/portion info if you got it!) I've posted this before and I'll do it again....…

Pills Pills Pills
Does anyone else get frustrated with diet pills?? I work with a couple of people who use them. One coworker lost a ton of weight doing zumba and dieting (she says) but she also got her doc to prescribe her appetite supressing diet pills. She's kept it off, but admits that she goes back on them from time to time, and her…

Fishy Issues
I am looking for a little help or advice! I am a vegetarian that eats seafood (yes, those exist), but I am not overly kitchen savvy. Being from the midwest where fresh seafood is in short supply, my option are whatever I can find frozen at Walmart or the local grocery store (No Target or Trader Joes here). Can anyone out…

Looking for some pals to stick by!
Just joined this site because my friend recommended it, and I love it. The site I used previously was not as helpful or efficient at this one to log activity, food, and goals. I am excited! Looking for a few pals who are dedicated or maybe even a ways into their goal. It's so common for people to join and lose interest in…
