Any other aerialists here?
Who else here likes flying? I would LOVE to add you guys/be friends/talk about your training and diet routines. All the other girls at my studio are so skinny with dancer bodies and I'm not on their level yet! I started hammock in January and silks in April and I'm obsessed! I did pole a few years back as well. Feel free…

Scale not moving but seeing other progress?
Hi MFP Friends! I have a question in regards to how other people have seen their bodies change on their journey. So I lost about 25lbs a few years back. Scale moved down at the target rate pretty consistently until it stalled around the last 10lbs- all very normal. I was doing almost exclusively cardio until I lost most of…

Calories burned doing aerial arts?
This is a long shot but I figured this was the place to ask... I just started taking aerial classes (think silks, hoop, Cirque du Soleil stuff). I can't wear my Fitbit HR while I do it because I'm afraid having something around my wrist will snag the fabric, but it is a damn good workout. If I'm climbing it gets my heart…

Per workout supplements?
Hey hey! I've head about pre workout supplements- specifically ones designed to give you an energy boost. Anyone use these and like them? Is the energy boost just caffeine or something else? I work super early in the morning and am on my feet all day and while I'd love to hit the gym as soon as I'm home, sometimes I'm just…

Meal replacement shakes
Hello all! I'll get to the short of it for those who don't want to read my life story- what is your favorite meal replacement shake- preferably nondairy or lactose free? For those who want to read a bit more: it's become quite clear to me I need to look into meal replacement shakes for my lunches. I used to drink a slim…

Building strength endurance.
Anyone got tips for building strength endurance for your muscles? I'm good with my cardio endurance (distance runner) and I used to lift decently heavy. But I picked up aerial and circus in the last year and I'm at the level where they have me doing routines. 3-5 minutes doing tricks on the apparatus is EXHAUSTING and my…

Am I really burning that much?
Hello friends! So the short of it is I'm a sales rep so my work day is 8 hours of walking all over grocery stores moving 30-40lbs boxes and stocking shelves. I'm driving between accounts but I'm generally in the car maybe 10 minutes between accounts on average. When I started I got a fitbit because I was curious about how…

Snacks that travel!
Hey all! What are your favorite traveling snacks? I work out of my car, so I'm always eating on the go. I eat of lot of nuts and dried fruit, but I'm looking for some lower calorie options besides just fresh fruits and vegetables. I try to keep meat consumption at a minimum and dairy and I don't agree. I do have a small…

Anyone else work in the food/beverage industry?
Hey all, I'm back here at MFP after gaining back the weight I lost due to a year of shifting priorities and other things. Nothing bad, but I know it's time to get back on the wagon! The issue- I work in the craft beer industry and have several media creation side project also involving the liquor industry. My boyfriend…

Calling all zumba instructors!
Hi everyone! I was wondering if there are any certified zumba instructors lurking the forums on MFP? I love zumba, and I'm considering getting instructor certified after my half marathon at the end of October. It seems like a good way to supplement my income and bring in a little extra cash, but I wanted to talk to a few…

Hey...
I'm new. I have a friend who had great success here and recommended it to me. I'm trying to lose about 15-20 lbs (I'm more interested in how I look rather than the number). I have a blog, and I'd love encouragement of followers. I'm currently about 140, looking to get to 120 or 125. http://skinnyliz.blogspot.com/
