I'm scared too! You're not alone!

Thursday - Truth Hmmm....I'm a newbie to this thread....and my truth is that I need to stop making excuses for why I'm so overweight....I've come up with quite a few doosies....from not having time to exercise to not having the money for exercise equipment to healthy eating is expensive to my husband keeps bringing home…

Do you mean you're not seeing a difference on the scale? It could be that you're building muscle, but losing inches....Cheer up!! It sounds like you're on the right track and you'll see results soon!

THis is a dangerous thread....lol

Whoa.....just checked the site zumbacalories.com and it says I've been burning 1293 cals....Ive been logging 777!!! I need one of those monitors!!!

I've been wondering this as well....I've been logging it as dancing high intensity.....thanks ladies!

Wow!!! Congrats!! You so happy!!! I love before and after pics!!

I'll be 32 next month!!.....God it still feels kind of surreal to say I'm 30-something.....lol

Wow!! I'm amazed!! You look great!! Hope by this time next year I can post similar progress photos! Thank you for sharing!

I can't clean up dog poop....makes me sick absolutely every time! Or drive a stick shift....terrifies me! I can't not make up the bed....lol....even though I mostly never see our bedrooms in the day time ( I have a 2 story house) it bothers me all day if I know the beds aren't made!

You sound much like myself!! Welcome and please add me if you want! Support is the hardest thing I find about losing weight. My fiance is very supportive with words, but is a bit lacking in actions....he still buys junkfood and brings it home, which I find hard. So I often find myself lurking these message boards, trying…

you look fantastic!! Congratulations!!

I'm guessing it doesn't end. Keeping off the weight you lose has to be a lifetime commitment. Just like quitting drinking or smoking, you can't just pick it up again after you've conquered it. So I guess you can splurge or treat yourself every once in while but we can't go back to eating how we did before. Or we'll end up…

You need to be completely honest with him about how he's making you feel and tell him he needs to be more supportive and sensitive. I gained weight too after I met my bf but I can guarantee you that if he said he would leave me if I got fat I would have left him on the spot. If he can't accept you the way you, after giving…

I really like Zumba....I'm doing it twice a week! It's so much fun and you're right.....you work hard, but I never feel like I'm working so hard that I can't do it or want to stop. Hope you enjoy!

It's like a dance....I'm doing it twice a week in a class, but I'm thinking of getting a DVD or something because I love it so much!! It gives me a good burn yet I never feel so out of breath that I want to stop. That's why I don't like walking, it's boring and I always get out of breath fairly quickly and feel like I'm…

WAY TO GO!!! That is truly an inspiration!!!!!!! You look frigging amazing!! I have never, ever liked a full body picture of myself so I'm very envious of your success. You look fantastic and you should show it off!

The holidays are so tough!! It seems like everywhere you turn there's food....and nothing that's very good for you! I hope we can all keep on track!

Ok I got it!

How come my ticker isn't working??

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!! I think this will be a good thing for me!

I am certainly looking to lose a lot of weight....I have always been heavy and since having my kids it's just spiraled out of control. I have to do something if I want to see them grow up!! So I'll certainly try to motivate you....I know It's hard!
