Hi! I started at 230 and I am currently at 212. I am only 5'2 so I have a bit more to go to reach my goal weight but I am conquering it one step (or 10 lbs) at a time! :) You can certainly add me if you would like.

1. Staying off my high blood pressure medication and avoiding the various health issues that run rampant through my immediate and extended family; 2. Feeling happier and more confident in my own skin; and 3. My dream bed....just like the ones you see in the department store windows, complete with the fluffy duvet and tons…

I don't know if you have a Wii but I love mine and I do Wii Zumba Fitness 2 at home. It is a fun workout and you can pick how long you would like from short classes (approx 20-25 mins), med classes (40-45 mins) and full classes (50+ mins). You can also do single songs and do how many you would like or customize your play…

I started at 230 lbs and I am now down to 212 lbs. Would like to get down to 125/130 lbs eventually but one step at a time! :) You can add me if you would like. I sign in every day.

Welcome to MFP! I absolutely love this site! So full of motivation, inspiration and support! I just started in mid-September 2012 and it has become such a daily party of my routine that I don't even notice it anymore. Best of luck with your journey!

I found that once I made sure that the belt was sitting right on my hips (after all that is what most of the movements are generated from :) ) along with all the other suggestions (remote with buttons out and upright) that it started picking up my movements consistently. I also found that I had to exagerate my movements…

WOW! Awesome job. You look great.

I weigh myself once a week on Wednesday mornings as soon as I get up. I only picked this day because it was the day that I started MFP and did my first weigh-in. I couldn't do more than once a week. The numerous weight fluctuations throughout the day/week play with my head and can do damage to my progress so I find that…

Would love to have more friends to continue this journey with! I have sent a friend request. I joined in September 2011 but did not officially begin my journey until mid-September 2012. Almost 60 days in a row so far and I have found that it has now become a part of my daily routine. I don't even think about it anymore, I…

From Winnipeg, Manitoba! Feel free to add me if you would like!

I am eating a minimum of 1200 calories a day and no more than a maximum of 1500 and I have lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks. You need to eat more or your body is going to think it is starving and start hording what you do eat.

I have been doing the Zumba Fitness for Wii. A 45 minute class burns b/w 600 to 700 calories. The 66 minute class can burn as many as 1000 calories! Love it because not only am I getting a good workout but it is fun and makes me want to keep doing it. I think they have Zumba for some of the other gaming machines too.

I am on here every day. Just celebrated my 50th day in a row the other day! I started at 230 and I am currently at 215. Goal is between 125 to 130. You can certainly add me if you would like! :)

Congratulations!! Such an awesome job and truly inspiriing! Wishing all the best with those pesky last 5-10lbs!:smile:

I totally agree with you! Just keep up the good work and through trial and error you will find what works best for you. When I joined, I simply started by following my calorie/carb/fat goals and tried to be under them. I think that is great foundation because it gives you a starting point without totally overwhelming you…

I am 5'2 and weigh over 220 lbs. I have never been this heavy in my life and would like to be at a healthy weight by the time I am 40! I have a little more time to get it done as I am only 37 but am hoping that at this time next year I will be at my healthy weight. Support is a huge key to reaching this goal and I would…

Congrats!!! Awesome job!
