BMR, TDEE, ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP............
So, question regarding the whole "calculator" thing, and determining how many calories I should be eating per day, etc... I went to fat2fitradio.com and went through all of the calculators to determine my TDEE. It was considerably higher than I expected, as was my body fat percentage lower than expected... I have been into…

Blew it already...
So after only one week of Livin' La Vida, I had a bit of a slip last night and I am so mad at myself. I ate a bunch of tortilla chips, dipped in homemade hot fudge sauce!! Ugh! I totally gave in to a sweet-salty-carb craving. So to those of you who are veterans, how bad is that? Did I set myself back to square one as far…

New to this....questions?
So, I am REALLY new to this low-carb thing - like 2 days new - and I have been overeating bread/crackers/chips for quite a while (comfort during a stressful relocation over the last year) so the change to low carb is dramatic. I love the food - I am definitely feeling full at the end of the day - and so far I am really…

What do you think about...

New Routines!
So, I have been so busy that I have not learned many new routines since the first push on the R4 set a few weeks ago. I pulled it out again tonight and learned a few more for tomorrow. This is not my favorite set....there are some strange songs in there...the ones that I love I REALLY LOVE (i.e., "Pound the Alarm," and…

What's your plan, what's your cocktail order?
Jut trying to get some ideas. I am on a low-carb plan (carb cycling, actually) and though I love red wine, I ordered a dirty martini with bleu cheese-stuffed olives the other night when I went out with my husband, because of the low carb content. I also love salt, brine (capers, olives) and the shape of martini glasses, so…

Tips from a sushi addict
My husband is a chef, and has access to sushi-grade tuna whenever.... We rolled sushi tonight for the first time since I started low-carb, so rice was out of the question. Instead of the Nori (which I thought might seem tough without the rice) I put my tuna, avocado, scallion and wasabi into a Bibb lettuce leaf. It was…

Where is your Jazzercise Today? Thread 2!
I have not been a very good group administrator....I tried to start a thread once but nobody responded!! lol... Today I am not teaching, but I will go to class in Germantown, MD at 4:30. I love going to other instructors' classes - especially shortly after a new DVD! I get to preview some of the routines! :) Melissa

Breaking Up With My Scale
I am a compulsive over-weigher. There, I've said it. I'm not talking like, once a day when I get out of bed. I am talking NUMEROUS times a day, every time I happen to be in the same room with my scale. It is a sickness. It controls how I feel about myself, and in my prior life of all-day grazing and late-night snacking, it…

Inspired by my friend Shannie_Mac...
So, Shannon posted the story about where she was in life when she first came to Jazzercise, and I thought it might be a fun topic for the rest of us! In my experience, there are a huge variety of reasons that people first decided to walk through those doors. For me, the beginning of the story is one of the biggest reasons…

LCHF help - the more answers, the better!!
I have been low-carb for almost 2 weeks now, and I am loving it. I have gradually become even LOWER carb than when I started, but I don't think I am low enough to be in Ketosis yet. I am wondering if I should be. I have about 20 pounds I want to lose, and that will be quite thin - size 4/6 for me. I have been advised to be…

In the Crock Pot...
...for tonight's low-carb feast, I have Thai-style chicken curry coconut soup. It smells SOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!

Latin Tomorrow!!
In the tradition of every Jazz instructor I know who has had to wait too long for the new set, I will be hitting the stage for a theme class tomorrow. If anyone wants to get their Latin on, come to Germantown, MD at 9:30 and 4:30!! Who remembers The Ketchup Song??

Net Carbs??
I feel like all of the recent posts on this board are by me! :smile: Just to clarify, Net carbs = total carbs-fiber, right? So, if my current log says that I have 42 carbs today, but 14 g. fiber, then I am at 28 net carbs? And these are the ones we worry about with a low-carb plan? And further, it is recommended to keep…

Mysterious Disappearing Boobs....
Does anyone else feel like the absolute first thing to go when they are losing weight is your breasts?? I mean, I don't have a lot up there to begin with. Thank goodness for "pec cleavage." :(

Threw Up?????
So, I had a first today......got up, ate breakfast at 8:00 (1 egg, 1 slice turkey bacon, 1 small lo-carb WW tortilla, coffee w/ c&s (I will never give this up), and a big glass of water. Went to my job as a p/t nanny, felt great, not hungry, totally coolio. Left work at 1:30 and went to DD to meet with someone about…

Feeling weak?
So, I just started a couple of days ago - yesterday was my first day that I really stuck to the program and was very close to all of my nutrition goals at the end of the day. I should also add that, with 20 pounds to lose (enough to be significant but not a huge amount of weight) I have adjusted my percentages to include…

Way too much protein?
So, I logged in my whole day's food plan, and I am significantly over on fats and protein (-20 and -41 respectively) but 75 calories and 107 g carbs UNDER my goals. Honestly, I am not sure this is necessarily a bad thing, considering I really want my muscle tone to show (right now I am very fit but it is kind of hidden…
