To eat or not to eat?
I have heard from family/friends/fitness instructors that eating breakfast is important before you exercise, but most recently I read about a study that was done about this and the results were that people who didn't eat breakfast before exercise lost more weight than those who did eat. Does anyone know more about this...

Apple Shaped
I consider myself to me "apple shaped"...I am 5'3, wear a size 8/10 in jeans, size L in tops, and weigh 190 pounds. I think its odd to be that overweight and still be able to wear size 8 jeans. Anyone else have similar measurements? Do you feel overweight or just curvy?

H20
I have decided to only drink water as part of my daily diet and eliminate all diet sodas, iced teas, coffee, and so on, to not waste my amount of daily calorie/sugar intake on liquids. It been okay so far, but I find myself having to add "Zipfizz " (an energy drink mix) to my water to give it some flavor and help me feel…

Zumba, anyone?
I have been taking hour long Zumba classes religiously five days a week for the past month and I feel and see a difference. I have been doing nothing more besides that and a change of diet. Has anyone lost weight by taking Zumba classes, and if so how long did it take to lose some significant weight?
