I just started it yesterday, but it's awesome so far. In an hour I can easily burn 500 calories.

Yes, that is great! :) I've lost 12 pounds and don't see a difference anywhere. Blah. That is why I need the PFP challenge to keep me motivated. If I don't lose the 35 pounds I pledged, that is like taking food AWAY from the food bank! It's like I HAVE to do it. I still get discouraged but when I do, that is what I think…

in WHY? Comment by nelliebugs February 2011
Do we just mark it as 'high intensity aerobic workout' when we do zumba wii? I can't figure out how to calculate the calories I'm burning.

It is very expensive to eat healthy. :(

My must haves include zucchini, (FRESH not frozen) broccoli, mushrooms, and my healthy life 35 calorie bread. :)

in Anybody want to help me make a HEALTHY grocery list? Comment by nelliebugs February 2011
Unfortunately I am not on thyroid meds at the moment. I just got insurance this month and haven't found a doctor to take it yet. I'm hoping I can get in soon, after we get rid of this snow. I know the thyroid meds will help, but I was losing weight last month without them so I'm wondering why I can't this month. When I…

Welcome! :) If you're serious about losing weight, this is the place to be. I was here about 6 months ago but wasn't serious about it, and it didn't help. I just came back a week or two ago and so far am doing awesome. I think it's all about your mindset. If you're ready, it'll happen. Good luck!

in hello hello! Comment by nelliebugs January 2011
If you do cauliflower and potatoes 1/2 and 1/2 it will save you some calories. I add fat free sour cream to my dishes that would usually call for gravy or sauce of some type. Like instead of using alfredo tonight, I used fat free sour cream and seasoned it to make it more like alfredo. :) But a tinnnny portion of the…

in Happy Medium Between Gravy and Veggies??? Comment by nelliebugs January 2011
I pair mine with a slice of healthy life wheat bread (35 calories) and a tiny bit of ketchup and mustard.

My girlfriend is 5'5", not sure if that's "short" to everyone or just me LOL. I'm 6'2". She weighs 181 and is working towards 150.

in any short people on here? Comment by nelliebugs January 2011
You *have* to make small goals. Forget about the 100 pounds for now. Start with 5 pounds. Then another 5. And another 5. If that gets easy at any point, go with a 10 pound goal. I know you've heard it hundreds of times, but you have to drink water! Even if you hate it, choke it down (I gag.. trust me.. I hate water lol).…
