No worries. I do this on a daily basis. After a while you're co-workers get used to it. lol

Great story ! Kids can be so critical it's nice when they notice positive things.

I am a huge zumba fan. Zumba works all your muscles. Different songs work different muscles and some songs work arms and legs, abs and legs, etc. I feel the burn in different muscles depending on which ones are weaker. Sometimes its arms, sometimes its legs. The cool thing is sometimes I'll be driving around town and…

That is super awesome ! Keep up the good work. I've been a member here for 2 months and have lost 15 lbs and I was excited. lol 21 lbs in a month I might burst.

HI Stephanie ! I'd love to 'support" you. Send you a friend request.
-
I was very close to MFP.
-
You can do this ! Just make weekly goals and do your best to stick with them. 2 lbs a week. Good Luck !

I'm fairly new and haven't deleted anyone yet but this would be my biggest reason. I don't want to hear it IRL why would I want to read it here where I'm trying to stay focused and positive.

I added Zumba to my database and usually log 500 min for an hour. I used a HRM once and got a baseline of 750. Most of my workouts are around the same intensity to I'm fairly confident that 500 is a safe , yet overly conservative number. 500 gives me wiggle room if I need to use my exercise calories but is small enough…

That's great. I'll be giggling all day now. Thanks !

I find that frozen veggies are better for you than canned and taste better. Of course they aren't quite as good as fresh but you can find them alot of times where the ingredients are just the veggie no salt etc. I buy them during the 10 for 10 sales or when they are about a dollar a bag. Even the larger bags aren't that…

That was me. lol And I got tired of reading reports from docs, etc that said "obese 40+ year old woman". Just sounded rude to me. So here I am.

Grilled Chicken Ceasar - it's only 190 calories and the dressing is 190 so total it's 380.

Welcome ! Take one day and one pound at a time and you'll do great.
-
Welcome aboard ! Both of you. Calorie counting is really easy especially here at MFP. Just stick with it and you'll do great. Years ago I did WW (which back then was like calorie counting. No points) and I lost 80 lbs. Unfortunately I gained it all back and then some but I'm here again and to date I've lost 57 lbs. Feel…

Isn't that just the best feeling. Keep up the good work. You're doing great !!!!

Welcome !

Malani - I'm here for you. Don't let one 'bad' idea get you down. You're doing great. Just take one day at a time and if you want ice cream then have some. Just have maybe one scoop or choose Skinny Cow ice cream or even fat free sherbet. If you make good main meal choices and keep moving you'll do fine. I was sick about…

I noticed a change during the second week. It took me about a week to really get the hang of the site but once I did it just started flying off.
-
Aussie4870 and ymvestal - you both have done an AMAZING job ! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Just based on your posts it sounds like you might be in a rut (a bit bored). We all get so excited when things are going well. We get into a routine and just keep going. Well our bodies do the same thing, they get into a rut…

For years I had undetected Hashimoto's disease and was quite large. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer had my thyroid removed and gained even more weight. My synthryoid was finally regulated about 2 years ago and since May 2010 I've lost 57 lbs. It's been a long process that requires daily vigilance.…

bumping incase there are any others out there who would like to join together on this journey.
-
Great job ! Keep it up !
-
I totally agree. If they are toddlers put them in a stroller and walk. If they are old enough to ride bikes let them ride while you walk. Play Wii games with them. No matter how hard it is force yourself to get back into your old routine (at lease temporarily) and then you can switch it up. There are days I dont' want to…

I found this equation shortly after I started here at MFP and I've used it ever since. Recently updated it and it made me smile. :smile:

Hi! I sit for a large portion of my day. Over the past 5-6 years I've really packed on the pounds and in May 2010 I made the decision to "get off the couch". Started at Curves I worked my way up to Curves 3 times a week and Curves Zumba 3-4 times a week. To date I've lost 57 lbs and have at least 43 to go. A friend turned…

I totally agree. I joined in the beginning of August and have been compulsive about logging and I've lost 13 lbs.
-
I'm still a relative newbie so if I stopped now I'd be in bad shape. Maybe when I get to my goal weight and keep it off for about 6 months I'll give it a try but right now I'm too much of a chicken.
-
Hi ! Welcome aboard. I've been here since early August. Love the site and the people. Weighing one a month is good. When you start losing you'll notice that your clothes feel different. That's the best sign not necessarily the scale.
