Dance Cardio Alternative
Hello! I just finished TAM Day 150 - Hipcentric, and still love it. The first few months were fantastic as I could watch my body transform. Now, however, I seem to have hit a bit of a plateau (I posted Plateau Woe on the main board last week). I have only done the Dance Cardio a few times, and this is not just due to…

Workout tops/camis for the erm, fuller figure
Can anyone recommend a good supportive workout top, preferably with built in support, for moderate activiites, eg. yoga, barre, mat exercises. I have a couple of Lululemon tops, but they are just cut a bit too low, and too sexypants for a class.

Workout Gear Cami/Tops for the Ladies of a fuller figure
Anyone have any good recommendations for built in bra tops for moderate activity? Not high impact, more for yoga, barre fusion, etc? I have a couple of Lululemon tops, which seemed great at the time of purchase, but they kinda make me look too busty. No good for the gymnasium.

Anyone taking DIM supplements?
Hello, I just started taking the supplements about a week ago, and I am already seeing small changes, some good, and some bad/weird, perhaps. Anyone have any input from personal experiences?

Kind of hitting the "Doubt" stage of EMTWL
Feeling very disheartened by any lack of progress, per se, and only seeing a slow steady gain. I am bracing myself for the standard "sounds like you need a full reset" feedback, and I have to be honest and say that I reject that line of thinking. I am getting married in mid-October, and I know this is for life, etc. etc.,…

OK, It has been about 7 Weeks--Now What?
I have been eating at TDEE-15% since mid-May, gained a few pounds back, feeling a bit blubbier in the tum, but feeling ok. I am still several sizes from my goal (trying to avoid the scale, going for pant size). So now what? I seemed to have leveled off weight wise, and things fit me, but maybe a tiny bit snugger, but I…

Week 6 of EMTWL--Belly Fat?
So, it's week six! I feel great, I am getting the hang of this, etc. etc. But today in Core class I noticed belly fat--like, my stomach kind of giving me an egg like appearance. Even when I was 10 lbs heavier I never had a fat stomach. I don't feel that crazy full bloated feeling anymore--Does anyone know what I am talking…

Core Fusion Barre, Anyone?
Hello I just took my second class yesterday, taking my third tomorrow. Anyone have any idea what an average burn is for this class? I don't have an HRM, mostly because I can't decide which one is best for activities that are not stepping involved--I have heard that the FItBit doesn't measure any activity that doesn't…

NSV of the Social Variety (and thank you)
Yesterday I went to a friend's BBQ and saw someone who I used to be fairly good friends with, but after a falling out last year, we haven't spoken. I was kind of shocked and saddened to see how much larger she looked. I guess it's the classic biotchy girl thing to wish nothing but weight gain on our former friends, but I…

OK, Now I am freaking out a bit.
So, I just got over some 48 hour bug, and had a lot of time to think about whether or not I should do the full reset-Feel like I am cheating when my TDEE-%15 is actually 2100, but I have been trying to eat 1900, for fear of the shock of it all--So far in 5 weeks I have gained 8 lbs, feeling really fat in the stomach…

HRM Recommendation
I am mulling the possibility of getting some sort of HRM or the lik. Does anyone have any recommendations? I woudl like to see the cals burned on an average day, so the ability to wear it 24/7 would be great. I have heard a lot about the FitBit, both good and bad. Thoughts?

All of a sudden...
I started EMTWL about a month ago. I went through the stages of gaining, the puff, the squish, the despair, and suddenly I am feeling stronger again. I am not lighter by any means-I gained about 4.5 lbs back, but though I had lost about 16 lbs at one point, I felt really soft. Today I noticed that I am actually feeling…

Any Tracy Anderson Continuity People Out There?
Hey gang, I see a lot of PX90 and shred/ChaLEAN and New Rules people here, but nobody doing Tracy Anderson. I am thinking of incorporating a bit of the weight lifting as it just seems like the best thing. Anyone have any feedback on doing both?

WEEP!
I have been following the EMTWL group since early May, right around the time I increased my cals. I have been definitely feeling a lot puffier and fuller of late, and just now put on my once very comfy, somewhat loose skinny jeans and I am officially sausaged in them. I am still really unclear about how long to do the cal…

How Will I Know (How Many Cals to Eat?)
Sorry for that poor homage to Whitney--I just couldn't resist. I started with MFP last September at 1200 cals a day, had some marginal success (17 lbs), plateaued (natch) then I found this fantastic EMTWL group. I was so inspired I ran my numbers and started eating at TDEE - 20% two weeks ago. So far, I have gained back…

Scooby Calculator
I joined this group a couple of weeks ago, and so far it is great, but I am still a little confused about TDEE, etc. I do Tracy Anderson Method Continuity 6 days a week, 30 minutes and I have a decent little walk to and from the train each day (8-10 mins each way) to a desk job where I am mostly sedentary. So ,am I in the…

Plateau Woe
I've been at a plateau for about 3 months. I am currently at 1200 cals a day (not Net, mind you), and am a little confused about what people have said about mixing it up--do i increase intake for a day or two, then go back to 1200? Going below 1200 doesn't seem wise. I know what I need to do: i need to rev up my workouts,…
