I track the calories burned as stated on my HRM. Even though it may not be fully accurate, it's more accurate than the MFP database and I find that it's more accurate that what the calories burned on any machine says. I think there's really no way of knowing exactly how many calories you burn each workout, so all the HRM…

I'm an emotional eater as well. I wish I could tell you that this problem goes away after awhile, but the truth is it doesn't. This will always be a problem, but you can take control. It will take some time, but you can win this battle. I was stressed last week and my eating was out of control. I went back to my old ways,…

I agree 100%. I went on Weight Watchers 3 different times and had success in the beginning (on the old program), but was unable to keep the weight off for this reason. I joined Weight Watchers in January 2011 when they just released the new Points Plus system and achieved no success. This is a perfect example. On WW, a…

I actually thought about that! Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I can pick a good name from this, although the family seems to like Cry Baby. Whatever!

I'm thinking about deactivating mine. Nobody ever posts to my wall, comments on anything. I never hear from anybody. The only reason I keep mine is because I'm afraid that I will miss out on school stuff without it. People don't think they can function without Facebook anymore. Hasn't anybody ever heard of a phone call???

Don't put too much emphasis on the size of your clothes. Some brands fit differently than others. Some run small and some run a little big. Maybe if you try a different brand of jeans you may be a size 12. If it bothers you that much, cut the tags out of your clothes. The way you look and feel in your clothes is what…

Count me in. I'd love to join!

What time should I be there? :)

It worked! Thank you JM!

Like some of the others said, Skinny Cow totally rocks! Also, Russell Stover makes sugar free candy that tastes really good. The Jello Temptations are awesome too. I recommend the cheesecake ones because it's like real cheesecake in that little cup! Also, if you want something really sweet, eat fresh pineapple. It's the…

Fluffy?! When I think of fluffy, I think about lots of hair, not size. Anyway, just laugh it off and try not to let it ruin your day. If he keeps making remarks like that, I'd distance myself from him as much as possible.

I have PCOS too. Lots of people on here with this and it really surprises me. Anyone feel free to add me. I have been fighting the weight loss battle for years and hoping that this time I will finally lose the weight. It's definitely hard. My advice would be to not focus on the scale because with our hormones being the way…

I love bowling and maybe skating. You're hanging out with friends and sort of get a mini workout in. :)

I would totally buy Just Dance 3. I'm a Zumba fan like you are and I absolutely love it! It's a good cardio workout. EA Active is good too, but I think dancing is more fun. I have the first Jillian game and I don't like it either. I could never figure it out.

Glad you're here. Keep up the good work!

That's awesome! Congratulations!

Thanks everybody! I tried the Zumba calculator and it gave me more credit than MFP did. I will definitely go buy a heart rate monitor soon.
