Help, i've been slacking for over a year and can't get back on track....
I was there, right near where I wanted to be. Then people were commenting about me being too strict, exercising too much, etc. So, I started cheating a bit. Well cheating a bit has got me to where I am today. About a year and a half later I feel like I failed miserably. I'm too afraid to get on the scale, I have no…

zumba toning and weight room workout same day?
On my weight lifting days I like to get cardio in too. I haven't done zumba toning in a long time. I could make the class tomorrow before my weight room workout. Is that too much of the same thing?

how do you start maintaining?
When you get to the weight you want to be at, do you just adjust your goals on mfp and immediately start eating your maintenance calories? Or how does it work? I don't have far to go, so i'm wondering how it works. Thanks for the help!

close to goal or maintaining..how much exercise a day?
I have lost 87 pounds so far. I'm pretty close to goal. I want to lose maybe 15 more pounds. I have a lot of toning to do, from loose skin, etc. I really feel like for the past 3 months I have over done it working out. I'm really burnt out and I feel like i'm not working as hard anymore. It started when I added in weight…

Sports bras..can't get them off
I'm really having a tough time finding a sports bra that I like. When I find one that fits, I can't get it off. I try to stick my arm back out the arm hole and then I hear the fabric stretching like i'm going to rip it. If I go to a larger size it doesn't fit snug. I'm a 34 b or c depending on the bra. I run and do zumba…

need recommendations for a strap free heart rate monitor
A fitness instructor suggested I get a polar f4 to keep track of calories burned during workouts. I was all set to get it, until I found out I had to wear a chest strap with it. Does anyone have one of those? Do I have to wear a chest strap with it? I don't want to wear anything extra. Any other recommendations for a…

zumba compared to walking?
I have been walking 4 miles a day for my exercise for months now. I usually do it in an hour and 20 mins, so a fairly slow pace. I've been losing pretty good with that.
