Good morning! I live in Dagsboro, DE and have for the last 6 years. Prior to that I lived 37 in Southern California. Trust me, Delaware is no California but it's grown on me. I was born in Illinois and live there until I was 8.

To get into Onderland by the end of the year! I couldn't even tell you when I was there last and now I'm only about 8 lbs away. I think it's doable!

When I'm at the gym, my favorite exercise equipment is definitely the elliptical machine. However, I mostly do classes during the week including Zumba, Camp Fit and Total Body. The latter 2 classes utilize equipment such as free weights, exercise ball, disk, and a step. Great workouts each and every time!

You've done great!

Wow, what an inspiration! Thanks for sharing and all the best to you in your future endeavors!

Congrats! You're doing great! I'm getting closer and closer to Onderland and I can't wait. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Hey girl. Glad to see you back. You know you can do this, but you have to really want to do it. You have to keep in mind that it's a LIFESTYLE, not a diet!!! I, too, went on vacation in May of this year and I allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted. Trust me, it's hard coming back from a cruise with all you could ever want…

That's great. Congrats to you! I am so looking forward to getting there myself. Keep up the great work!:drinker:

Total Body Class and Zumba tonight.

Working on it!

Congratulations! You look wonderful!!! I can't wait for my scale to say 1 something. I'm about 12 lbs away. I'm working to get there before the year is over. You story is inspirational. Keep up the great work!

I do Zumba classes regularly and I feel it has helped some with my belly fat. However, I do agree that doing some kind of strength training in conjunction with aerobic exercise is the best way to go. I now take a Total Body class and Zumba (back to back) on Monday and Wednesday nights and then Zumba on a couple of other…

I do Zumba on a regular basis and I believe I had to add it in as an exercise on MFP. Do you know how many calories you burned? I use a HRM and the burns I get are not anywhere near what some of the websites give me or what I hear other people say they burn.

Leslie Sansone's "walk, walk, walk"! 'Nuff said!!!

I'm working on it and determined to get rid of this horrid belly fat, knee fat, arm fat and all the unnecessary fat on my body. Menopausal or not, I believe with all my heart it can be done and I'm going to do it. All the best to everyone on this journey.

I decided to take a night off from exercising and have what I want for dinner. Tomorrow's a new day and I intend to jump right back on it! No harm, no foul!!!

I'd like to join so I guess I need to send you a friend request, right?

Here are a couple of articles you might find interesting. I don't have that problem but hopefully these articles will give you some idea of what you can or can't do in your situation. I hope this is helpful. http://www.livestrong.com/article/96957-weight-loss-exercises-people-bad/…

Oooooooo, how I wish! I'm almost 52 and I still have regular monthly visits. I'm sick of it personally but I have no control over it so I have to deal with it until it stops!!! In fact, I'm due to start in a couple days to be exact! :sad: TMI I'm sure! :laugh: :tongue:

I personally prefer my water room temperature. However, I've heard that it's good to drink at least 16 oz of ice cold water in the mornings before you start your day to rev your metabolism. Whether or not that is true, I don't know but I do it sometimes.

People think that my daughter and I are sisters which my daughter doesn't like. I definitely think I look younger than my age.

I started off doing Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds DVD's and walking. After that I bought the Zumba Fitness for Wii and would do that occasionally. It's not about being coordinated and keeping beat. It's about working out and getting in shape. If you like moving to music, then you will enjoy it. You'll learn the…

Nice! Congrats!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

Eat it, enjoy it, savor it and move on! Tomorrow's a new day.

I used to live in California. Does that count?! :flowerforyou:

Size 20 to start (maybe some 22's) now in a size 14. Very slow going but at least it's going! Just stick with it, you will get there.

To keep it simple and in the words of a song... "To each his own, that's my philosophy, I don't know what's right for you, you don't know what's right for me" The end.

Alll these recipes are making me hungry! Yum! Oh and bump for later! :laugh:
