Can I join now or is it too late?

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…

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. :)

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.

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…

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.

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.
