Can't believe it's mid March already! Aaack! Five pounds down for the month so far, and thank goodness there are 31 days in this month......looks like I'm gonna need every minute in oder to hit the 10 lb. challenge target!~

I'm soooo in for the next challenge round! Thanks so much Kristen! Since it's a 12 week challenge, I'm going to shoot for shedding 30 lbs during the challenge period. Gotta raise my expectations, right? **smiles**

I'm midway to my ultimate weightloss goal. Not sure I'll make it all the way to weighing 150 lbs. but knowing that I"ve shed 70 lbs. already makes the journey for the the next 70 lbs. seem attainable and not a pipe dream.......Finally reality is setting in that I can do this!~ Chalenge Starting Weight: 243.8 lbs Challenge…

Count me in. Shedding ten pounds per month has been my personal goal. Thanks goodness there are 31 days in March. I may fall a bit short for February....lol~

Only .6 of a pound until I meet my challenge goal. Gonna strive to shed 10 additional pounds during the remainder of the challenge and learn to not underestimate myself!~ 01/02: 243.8 01/09: 238.8 01/16: 234.2 01/23: 232.8 01/30: 232.6 <<<mini goal weight 234 >>> MET! 02/06: 230 02/13: 228.6 02/20: 225.4 02/27: 224.6…

I do, I do! I attend hour long Zumba classes at my gym 6 days a week! Initially I tracked my calories on zumbacalories.com, but I got a rude awakening once I purchased my HRM and saw that zumbacalories overestimated my calorie burns by about 200 calories per session!!!.....And that's with me selecting "low intensity" on…

Mandy, you've really accomplished a lot so far.......and I know there is more in store!!~

Skinless protein and veggies. But watch the sodium.....it's a killer at fast food restaurants, even the "healthy" ones like Subway!~

I think the 1400 cal day of meals/snacks was an EXAMPLE of how to cover your nutritional needs while minimizing cravings. According to Oz, you can increase the portion sizes of his example day or eat whatever you want. The point was to curb the urge to binge, while at the same time not denying yourself.......
