Hi Carla! I think maybe the point of the post is that we can change the things we like by cleansing the palate, removal of certain foods, and then reintroducing them. Most fried foods make me ill, literally. And I can't stand the back of the tongue/throat with the grease. Awesome intake on water!!! There are no good sodas…

Great job! The steps come with time! Trust me when I started, I had 3 left feet!! I never thought I'd get it, but it was fun, and a great workout- I never thought I was a sweater until I started Zumba. Now I teach the program :) Have fun- let go. If you got a workout, and forgot you are working out because of the fun, then…

What is your diet like? There may be a trigger food (s) affecting your success. How are your workouts? Are you drenched in sweat after you work out?
-
which one? :) The longest was my own doing- I was working out like crazy, but all I was doing was eating back the calories (and sometimes more) that I worked off. I also wasn't cross training. Changed it up 3 weeks ago (last plateau- about 8 months same weight range). Got my butt in gear to log in here no matter what, log…

Then do it!!! I am a Zumba instructor- going on 2 years teaching, and it has changed my life, and I have helped change others! Message me if you have questions! :)

A bag of potatoes is 3.99 and a bag of chips is $1? Where in the world did you get to the conclusion that the chips are cheaper? A lb of potatoes can cost anywhere from .35 to .99 a lb (this is a demographic price range). Potato chips are over $3 a lb. How many meals can you make out of a bag of potatoes vs a bag of chips-…

50 years ago there was not an obesity epidemic, and there were as many jobs per person as there are now (for the most part). The weight loss industry has become an industry due to obesity. And that just comes down to basics. People drive everywhere. They don't walk, or ride bikes as transportation. They take…

a little olive oil or balsamic vinagrette, add in a few olives, roasted red peppers, garlic/pepper. Maybe a little cheese- mix and put over a salad of greens- sooooo good!

Fear can and is immobolizing- not losing weight is keeping you out of shape. In shape is a process just like weight loss. It takes time. Your goal is 50lbs? Imagine carrying around a 50 lb child- all day, on your back, around your waist, ect. The point is, you would be exhausted, and to put down that child would feel…

4241 out of 5900 goal- I can get another 1659 in by Sunday!

I would reach out to your dr, and share these issues. Its great that you want to reach out for help, but you seem to have some depression issues and associate food as reward or punishment. I would call my dr- not saying that antidepressants is the way to go, but it may be. Therapy about guilt association may be a good idea…

I am Anya! Its Hungarian for grandmother and my 2 yr old grandson- its his favorite word! :) I was 39 when he was born- no was I was going to be called anything "traditional" And now I am Anya again- my granddaughter was born Sept 30th! :)

Take yourself out on a date first! Go get a pedicure, or a massage- do things for you that make you feel beautiful. Unless there is someone you are wanting to start dating, don't worry about it, it will happen in the least likely environment. And the more confident you are, the more worth it you feel, the better any dating…

2909 so far this week! I will hit 3500 fine, not sure about the goal of 5900- I had a lot of extra classes to teach last week. Time to think outside the box!

Aqua aerobics are a great place for plus size to start- especially not new to exercise. Aqua Zumba is the bomb- great workout and sooo fun! Or a Zumba Gold class- (or DVDs- they just released the Gold DVDs on the main website)- Gold is for beginners, overweight, injured, or older, basicially anyone who can't do a regular…

I love men who get pedicures!! Truly sexy! Except when they go for polish! :wink:
-
I wear them when I use free weights- I plan to keep my hands beautiful- calouses are not attractive! :) Its like not wearing the right shoes for workouts- why would you not?
-
yes there are plateaus- not excuses plateaus- not talking about those- which we've all been thru, talking about real- the body is sick of you deciding what it needs and decides for itself- that is a mental plateau- which is all it ever is, what is our minds of expectation
-
Wow- ok by this post I am thinking the title is going to lead to a serious situation of sabotage- this is not a tragedy. This is something that will happen every single day- I don't know what a fat day is, I don't want to know, but you will always be presented with choices of foods that you'd prefer not to eat. Be polite,…
-
Yes I got that :smile: I appreciate your post though- that is all I was saying
-
you look great, I am sure you feel great! Your health is too important to you now, and you know how hard it is to lose. I am sure you'll have a great pregnancy, and possibly a much easier one being this fit. Keep up your workouts, modify as you need to of course, but unless your dr excludes it, no reason for you not to…

Zumba never claims it is a dance program, it is a fitness program, disguised in dance. It is often not a popular choice for dancers, and dancers who do get licensed and try to teach based on dance rather than fitness struggle to have successful classes. Also depends on the class you take. But to each his own, I would not…

I think opening your diary will help us to see what you are doing, if you want us to look. I like what one posted- go a week without eating anything in a bag or a box (good info for us all!!) Here is the thing, you can't eat it if you don't buy it, so that means a plan, and a grocery list (not while hungry). If you are…
-
Bummer! Maybe you didn't have the right instructor, it is usually a great workout- and most are drenched in sweat at the end. What do you like to do to work out? (Yes I am a Zumba junkie but I love lots of workouts- Body Pump-love it!! Weight training- love it!)
-
Hey just sent you a friend request for other topic- but I can tell you a lot about Zumba!!! I have been doing it since 2010, and I am now a Zumba instructor! I teach 6 classes a week- its one of the best programs ever, most of my weight loss is due to this fantastic program. Before buying the DVDs- (although you can find…

"LIKE"!! Well congrats again, you must look fantastic! I am glad you are talking, and he is willing to talk, but maybe the direction you need to go in with this is that you want to live a long healthy life, and feel good. Focus on the healthy aspects of weight loss (sounds like you are). There have been several studies…

someone has to be horrifically shallow to like a guy who works hard for his body and take pictures? I am not into vanity, but I don't disrespect them for posting, or for a woman who wants a man who is willing to post his pictures.........how is this any different from a woman posting her successful sexy photos and a guy…

baby steps- the hardest part for most is just getting there. What gym did you pick? Is it private owned or is it a bigger one/franchised? Bigger gyms will often give you a free personal training session, smaller ones will usually be willing to show you how equipment works. Do they offer classes? Always have your gym bag…
