  • Welcome back. I just started on My fitness pal again for the last days after using the Fitbit app for tracking food last year. My fitness pal has a better database for food. I am glad to be back.
  • I suffer with anxiety too. I have been taking medication since I moved out of my parents house. I guess I had issues before that, but always had my mom there to put up with it. I take citolpram (I can't spell), when I use to take Effexor. I also went to councelling about 4 years ago, which was the best thing I could have…
  • I have been eatting sugar free jello puddings that are very tasty. One kind is creme brulee rice pudding. Another too are caramel creme mouse and chocolate creme mousee.
  • I'm 5'6.25". My goal is 150 lbs. I haven't been that thin since college, so it is a good goal for now. I have been flucating lately because of sugar content and stress. It may take me a while until I finish my last course that I am taking part-time while working full-time. Then I will be hardcore again at loosing weight.…
  • Edmonton, Alberta here. :)
  • Well, all the comments are helping a lot. I was over by 20 grams today for sugar. 12 of these grams were milk and about 9 for vegetables with dip. Not sure how much the little dip would have when it is classified as light. Right now fruit is in season, plus I have been baking pies. I think I will need to start looking into…
  • Thanks for the website. I see I burn more with it than saying I am doing Aerobics, general. Wish MFP had a Zumba one to calculate. :) By the way, you don't have to just love to dance. It is also great if you love music. I know I have appreciated the people that do dance and our fit more now. Even cheerleaders that I use to…

    in Zumba?? Comment by robyn525 August 2011
  • I love Zumba too. I have a fitness class at my work that got me into it. Yes it is hard at first, but you get use to it and more flexible. I do find the Wii one harder at first as they have you moving a lot all the time and not showing the easier steps. I did loose 7 pounds in 3 weeks from Zumba and eating right. I gained…

  • I have the same problem. I am not sure how it will change my weight loss.
  • I also needed this posted yesterday as I had a bad Sunday too. Monday was better for me as well. I needed more water to help out, but overall it was good. Thanks for posting this.
  • I will keep these ideas in mind when I go on holidays this month as well.
  • I enjoy Vitamin Water too. I can only get 10 or 20 calorie in Canada. The US has the zero. I am trying to drink more regular water and just drink vitamin water as a treat. I just bought them for $1 each at Wal-Mart, but bottled water is cheaper.
  • I am not quite 5'7, but 5'6.25. My goal is 150 pounds. According to BMI my max healthy weight is 154.9 pounds. I am currently 175 pounds. My 3rd or 4th time trying to loose weight. It keeps getting worse everytime I restart as I need to loose more than the previous time.
  • I know the feeling. Each time I go to loose weight it seems I gained more than the last time I tried. It is so hard to do calorie counting, especially for the foods one enjoys. Since I am still going to school part-time, working full-time, and live by myself with 3 cats, it is hard not to get stressed and eat the foods…
  • I'm a Zumba Addict after starting in March at my work. I attend twice a week and now have Zumba Fitness for my Wii. I have a Zumba track jacket and Zumba pants. I love going to a fitness class again as I enjoy working out. It is so much better than going to the gym. I do sweat a lot and work hard. Yay for Zumba. :)
  • I just started again in July after holidays. I started in May initially, but going to work full-time and school part-time was hard. Then I hurt my foot from an exercise that did not work for me. At least I lost 2 pounds the first week getting back into things as that was part of my holiday weight. I am getting an iPod…
  • That was very beautiful and made my day. :) I do forget how strong I am as well. Thanks.
