Tell me about your Zumba experiences
Good afternoon everyone! Right now I'm doing Insanity. I am starting week 3 tomorrow. Today being a rest day I ended up looking up Zumba on YouTube. I tried to keep up with videos, it's harder than it looks for me. I'm very uncoordinated in dance type situations. I'm just curious what everyone's experiences were? Did you…

Body recomp
Links welcome. I'm wondering when and where to start. I have 13 lbs left until my goal. My plan is to finish insanity and possibly a recomp after that? What has worked for everyone in the past? What would you suggest to move onto next after insanity? I'm basically looking for ideas.

Bra help
So. I've lost 21.5 lbs. I still have 13 more to lose. My bras are huge. The only ones I've owned that fit properly are from Victoria secret. Can anyone suggest somewhere I should get bras, even on a temporary basis until the girls are done shrinking? I don't want to be super expensive if I don't need to be with my body…

My sister is being weird again...
I've always been pretty certain my oldest sister has some kind of OCD and/or control issue. She has only ever been diagnosed with anxiety as a child. (Both of my older sisters live my husband and me. The oldest doesn't make a lot of money at her job so the middle sis buys her groceries. Older sis makes the middle sisters…

Woo!
What is this Woo button? People keep wooing me and I don't know if that's good or bad. Lol Does it still mean you think I'm full of "woo" or like "woo, go girl?" Lol.

Protein powder questions
I have some questions. Should I be using protein powder before or after a workout? I've had some suggestions to try protein powder to help with recovery while working out and losing weight. Has anyone found increasing protein to help their weight loss results over a long period of time? Apparently I'm not taking in nearly…

What's your secret!!!
I know there have been a lot of posts about this, but can I just vent that I can't stand when people ask me "what's your secret?" I get the look like I'm crazy when I tell them that I eat well, and exercise. I hear all the reasons they have a hard time loosing weight, when I didn't actually ask. It's like people feel the…

Walks on rest days??
I just finished week two of insanity and today is a rest day. Is it ok to take a long walk?

Pants
So I've lost 20.5 lbs. Some of my pants and jeans are loose and I'll fitting, some I am barely getting back into. I'm thinking cheap transition pants from Walmart? I would go to a thrift store/goodwill but I've been finding the ones in my area charge almost as much as new Walmart clothing.

Am I wrong for not having the same lifestyle choice?

Weight loss group for petite people
This is a little rant... I'm not judging anyone. (ok maybe myself a little bit out of frustration) I am 5 ft and 1/2 inch technically speaking, I gave myself an extra 1/2 inch on my profile. I am considered petite, a lot of people would say that a person is not because of thier weight or pants size, well if you go into the…
