Recently returned to this site. Would love to meet new people 😃

Haven’t been here in a while. Recently returned to get myself back on track. Always looking to meet and support others

I want to lose about 50 pounds. I need some real support and motivation. Anyone out there? I work better with people around!

You guys! Zumba is the best! I have been doing it for two months and It is really making a difference. My stamina is stronger, my balance and coordination has improved; and I have gone down from a 16 to a 12. At first wasnt losing the weight like I wanted to; but I was losing everywhere else on my body and still am. You…

You didnt fail. You cant deprive yourself of everything that you enjoy. Eating a cupcake occasionally is not going to derail you. It is your own sense of guilt that is going to be the hardest critic about what you eat. We are too hard on ourselves and overcritical. You need to look ahead and feel wonderful about your…

I have to agree with a lot of people here. I applaud you for your success in losing the weight; however I know from personal experience that when I work out for over an hour every day; and then go in the house and have multiple glasses of wine....I pretty much wipe out anything I might have accomplished. You are going to…

I am going to jump in on this! Week 1 Weekly Goal 3500 Monday: 60 minutes Zumba 598 (Zuma Core WII Fitness) Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Total: Left to go: 2902

Hey there! I have Zumba Party? I bought Zumba Core for Christmas as a gift to myself and I love it. I enjoyed the other Zumba DVD but find the Zumba Core is much harder. I love it because you gain levels and new songs are added. I think the other one does something similar but I am finding that this one is for me. I dont…

I am going to jump in on this! Week 1 Weekly Goal 3500 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Total: Left to go:

So here I am AGAIN! I dont have any excuses and I am not going to make any. 2012 I had some good months and some not so good months. Like everyone else I had bumps in the road that nearly made me veer off my path. I am still on my path and still ready to continue on to reach my goals. I would like very much to post more…

I have not been able to find a good time to take a Zumba class in my area right now. So I got Zumba WII Core DVD. You put in your weight and age and stuff and then you begin. It has multiple programs and levels and when you really put yourself out there you gain a level (and also a gift of some kind like a new song or…

always looking for zumba buddies to challenge me and keep me on track. Add me if you like!:wink:

I try to get in at least 45 -60 minutes of the zumba. I do believe it has helped me in the past to lose weight. It also tones your legs and thighs and tummy as well. I do it several times a week. I think you should do it because it is fun and not worry about losing weight. Any movement you do is going to burn calories so…

eggs are on the menu for me for dinner tonight! Yum!

I am about to leave the office for the day. I will go home and change into my walking shoes and then march right over the the polling place to vote. I walked past it this morning too. They were not open yet (6:00 a.m.) but I did see movement. :laugh:

I am trying something different too! got up this morning and put my walking shoes on at 6:00 a.m. and left the house and walked for a half hour. This afternoon I am walking to the polling place to vote. I really enjoyed the walk this morning and I am planning on doing it again tomorrow. Wish me luck; I tend to lose…

I'm in also THE CHALLANGE- squats everyday for 30 days Day1- 0 Day2- 20

That is so funny! It made me laugh and made my day! Thanks for sharing!:laugh:

Hello ladies! My gosh it has been a long time for me to post but as I look back on this past year I realize that I have just been getting by. Not really focused; just getting through each day. However, I seem to be turning a corner and the path in front of me seems a little brighter. So here I am! I want to be stronger and…

I would like to be added! I started out at 245 and now at 229. I am 6 '1. I really would like to be a part of a group that has the same issues as I do!

I would like to do this challenge! I am currently a size 14. But I purchased a pair of jeans that were 12! This will get me motivated!:bigsmile:

I dont think it is a big deal. I am sorry her attire offends you though. You have the same rights as she does and that is be comfortable in your work environment. Who knows; maybe she will snag it on something and the whole sweater will come unraveled! Woudnt that be a sight? I hope your week gets better.

I think you are doing an awesome job! Dont focus so much on changes about how you look right now. You have the right attitude about noticing that you are feeling stronger and better which is so important. Eventually you will see other changes. I think you are awesome.

I will do my best. :tongue:

mixed greens with avocado, tomato, red cabbage and a bit of dressing.

That is such a great inspiration for me to start off this week! I loved reading this. :smile:

I would like to be a part of this. I get on the scale each morning. I know that it changes from day to day; even morning to afternoon. I am aware of water retention as well. I do this because it keeps me motivated to continue on. When I see the scale moving upwards I ask myself if it is a couple of things; time of the…

Ojai here! Add me too if you want!:smile:

Just jump in and get out there! The more friends you make the more support you will have! You are going to love this. We are all here for you!

Sending you a hug:happy: People who do things like that to others are already beaten so low themselves that they have to make others around them lower in order to make them feel better. Keep your head up and shoulders straight and dont worry about remarks others make. It doesnt matter.
