There are about 3 guys that come to Zumba at my gym. It is a packed class and I always think, "These guys have the right idea!" There are a lot of good looking ladies in my class.

Oh! and when I can't grab my belly rolls by the handful.

I could not agree more. I've read several articles that put diet soda on blast and I'm only synthesizing what I've read so this is obviously just my opinion. It seems like the main problem is that people play mind games with themselves about diet soda and categorize it as healthy. I know it isn't healthy. I know that the…

You're doing a great job.

So true!

How could you take the clothes piece out of the equation? I am soooo looking forward to shopping at whatever store I like :) As for the other stuff: I really want to get pregnant. I've lost 35 lbs now and I am having regular periods for the first time in my life. That is a huge deal for me. Also, I can't wait until I see…

Happy Saturday, Everyone! I hope you are having a great start to your weekend. I wanted to update all the numbers I've collected from everyone. I have everyone's starting weights and just to be fair, my starting weight is 231.6. So far calorie burn is looking like this: lhurtubise 3228 Reneeileen 2856 DrG3n3 2155…

I can do that.

I've been holding on to weight this week which is annoying because this hasn't happened to me since August but mother nature calls and the scale is not moving. Today's my rest day but I did Zumba yesterday and there was a lot of butt shaking. I have been owning that lately and for me the butt shaking turns into thigh and…

I'm still here! Don't worry! I burned over 800 calories today. I'm having ahard time letting go of weight this week. I'm trying to switch things up but I'm kind of thinking I'm going to see a big fat 0 at check in.

I'll do it just for the challenge. I have Splenda in my coffee every morning.

Unfortunately, I didn't notice a character limit on the title. This group is for Team 5, Calorie Torchers in the Biggest Loser Challenge 10/31/11 - 12/26/11.

Yay!!!! Go team 5!

I'm in!

This thread = BEST IDEA EVER

That lox pita looks amazing.

I have been loving Cooking Light's Fresh Food Fast. My favorite salad is their Roast Beef Beet Salad, minus the pine nuts. I had it for lunch all last week. 1 roasted beet, 2 slices of natural roast beef shredded, a table spoon of goat cheese over 3 cups of arugula with a vinegarette made of 1tsp lemon juice, 1tsp balsamic…

One of the tools that I have found and loved here is the Android app. I take my phone with me into the kitchen and scan what I'm making as I make it. Once you have stuff inputted as recipes and saved in your recently eaten food it gets a lot easier. Ultimately what it comes down to is that you do need to start measuring…

Scratch that, Pappabacon is right. an oz has about 70 calories. I'm just not thinking straight today.

This is such a tough one for me because I like to throw back a few. Generally, an oz of liquor will run you about 60 calories, flavored vodkas might run you a little more because of the extra sugar content. If you do a calorie free mixer you will get the most bang for your buck. Just remember that your average drink is…

I was talking to a PA about this (I am not a medical professional of any sort) and she was telling me that she has put several diabetics and very over weight people on higher protein diets with a lot of success. She was encouraging me to get 30 grams within two hours of waking to control my appetite throughout the day. My…

I'm down. I'm training for a 5k right now and I'm trying to break 40 minutes by November. I'm sure that sounds slow to many of you but it's good for me. My last run on Tuesday was 42:27. My next run is tomorrow.

No kids but I have a fiance, does that count? :laugh: But seriously, a girls' night in does sound like fun just as long as we avoid wine and baking.

Hi Mrs.Mattlin! I'm brand new myself and it sounds like we are the same age. I graduated in 2000 as well and I'm actually getting ready to get married in April. I started on the weightloss journey in January and things have been chugging along slowly but surely. Feel free to add me if you'd like some encouragement. I just…
