I reached 22lbs lost April 1st and hey, don't worry, you will start getting those comments. mine just started. But you know what, they don't compare to how you feel about yourself when you look in the mirror! :love: You see the "you" you've been waiting to see starting to emerge. Think about the deeper changes. like the…

bump!:happy:

Sure I don't even know why I didn't tell you all what i was doing! duh:blushing: Ok so as for eating, I eat very healthy, but I don't like to restrict myself too much. This a lifestyle change, so I want to be realistic. I'm not gonna avoid the foods I love forever, so why start? What I've learned to do is make…

oh yeah I never thought about that! thanks, that's so exciting! I want to tone up and trim down at the same time so that my desired look emerges slow and beautiful:drinker:

Ha ha ha ha ha!:laugh:

My problem area is my stomach, tummy, belly, muffintop, spill-over, flab, rolls, tire, watermelon, whatever you want to calll it. now a whole lot off people in this thread say their weight is hiding in their stomach. I'm sure you have your reasons for saying that. Mine is different though. See, My stomach is very large,…

Thank you so much everyone! I play my Zumba game and and push myself hard to get the moves and work up a sweat. I only do Zumba for cardio because I want to see how Zumba works for me. At the gym, I work super hard weight training. I want to tone up and lean out. So I work hard and change my routine up every session so I…

Unlike some people, I like to look at the scale sometimes before weigh in on Sunday. It motivates me to pay attention to my eating and work hard in my workouts to reach my weekly goal by weigh-in. Today I stepped on the scale and it said 173lbs. it's been that way all week. if I lose one more pound by weigh-in, I will be…

:love: bump

oh yeah. I strength train for about an hour, maybe a little more. I don't like to set a time, cause I will be worried about the time and not the workout. I leave myself a 2 hour window. that works great. gives me time for the sauna too!:laugh:

I do Zumba for my cardio. I have the Xbox Kinect game, the one that just came out last month: Zumba Fitness: Rush. It's super intense if you put your all and all into it, which i do. Lots of people say you get a awesome workout in the class because you push to keep up with the instructor and class more than you would on…

I love Rush! My fiance' got it for me for valentine's day. I have been doing it every since. I love it because you earn points as you dance and the better you do the moves the more points and stars you get. it really makes you push are to complete the moves properly. I'm sure there is nothing better than a live class (i…

Wow what awesome goals everyone!!! anyone esle want to share their goals for this month? I wish everyone the best of luck on achieving ur goals!:flowerforyou:

6. I have a waistband that holds my mp3 player. usually you cant see the band at all in the front because my belly was hanging over it. but yesterday I went to the gym and as I was walking towards the mirror in the locker room, I noticed i could see the whole band! I was so much more confident when I walked out into the…

A few things keep me motivated: 1. How i look in the mirror- i have avoided looking at my body in the mirror for almost 4 years and when I did i had gotten bigger and bigger. I lost a lot of weight in 2009 and I looked and felt amazing. I want that feeling back and I'm determined to keep it that way. A lifestyle change is…

I'm planning to make Zumba my only cardio and I'm planning to continue at the gym strength training. I know about Zumba toning but I already have the membership, i may as well put it to good use. I really want…

By the way, I started Zumba this week. I'm hoping the constant change in calorie burn will knock something loose and get things going again. Plus it looks like a blast!:laugh:
