      Fantastic! Tell us more how you changed your eating habits. Love zumba!!!!

      Cut out all fast food and caffeine. I don't eat a lot of variety right now (unless I ate the My Fit Food meals (myfitfoods.com)). A lot of the recipe ideas that I do now I got from creating my own version of their food. For breakfast I do Steel Cut Oatmeal which I make in the crockpot and add 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and sprinkle cinnamon. Or I'll do a ground turkey, egg, parboiled rice, and pico dish.

      For lunch I typically do a turkey wrap with a garden tortilla, turkey, 100 calorie wholly guacamole, lettuce and corn pico. I'll have some sort of pretzel or chip but I measure it out so it all fits in my calorie limit.

      I eat a morning snack and afternoon snack- vary it between trail mix, Chobani Greek yogurt, hummus w/carrots, almond butter w/celery or a protein bar.

      For dinner I still do the My Fit Food meals- they mainly are a protein and a vegetable- NO CARBS for dinner.

      The important thing for me was to plan out the whole day the night before or first thing in the morning so I knew I wouldn't go over my calorie intake.

      Hope that helps.

      Your story is so inspiring to me! I haven't been able to get into Zumba though. I have the videos and I just can't keep up with them. My feet are all thumbs! :wink:
