@DawnVanSlim: Holy cow I want those abs!

Softball, Softball and more Softball. I play 4-5 games a week and tournaments a couple times a month. With the weight loss I have had to adjust my swing (not 100% there yet...:grumble: ) I have gotten faster and now play the outfield again. Hooray! I also am a bit of a pool player..cue the jaws music... :smokin:

I got: 82% less than my country 52% less than the world Most like people from Conga. Age: 30-44 Females

I'm in Reno, NV if your interested. Always up for new friends for support and motivation!

Ok, here's mine. My best friend has always been the one with the rock'n curvy cute body. She wore really cute jeans to my birthday party in October that I just loved. I started this "journey" in November. I stayed at her house in February and needed to borrow some jeans. She came out with those pair. I thought "are you…

Stunning!

Congratulations! You look amazing! Truly and inspiration.

Congratulations on your achievement! Keep rock'n!

Zumba is fantastic. LOVE IT! Anyway, you can go to zumbacalories.com to get a pretty good idea of what you burn. It will have you put in your weight, time and intensity and give you a number. I have had friends with HRM's check the number and they say it is pretty close. Good luck!

Kind of a silly one to most, but big for me. I play a LOT of softball. Have all my life. Normally I'm a pitcher or 3B. Not a whole lot of running needed for those positions. Yesterday I played a coed tournament where we played 4 games back to back to back to back. Whew! The coach for some bizzare reason decided that I…

Feel free to add me. I have lost over 70lbs so if you have questions, I am here to help! I love seeing everyone's progress. It keeps me going!

^^^ This is WAY too high. Depending on your current weight and activity level you will burn more like 500 - 800. If you go to zumbacalories.com it will give a more acurate idea of what you burn. While not perfect, I have a friend who wears a HRM and said that it is pretty close. Oh, and Zumba rocks. The most fun exercising…

1. Did you eat the number of calories that MFP recommended to lose max weight or something higher? If more, how much more? - I tried to stay around 1200 calories, especially on the weekdays. Weekends were a little higher. I excersized 5-6 times a week for about an hour, burning anywhere from 600-950 calories depending on…

Must be from Reno with this quote. :smile:

I really like my eyes, they are crazy blue and when the sunlight hits them they look electric. I like the color of my hair, my shoulders are now awesome and I love the way my collerbone looks. Didn't have one before, didn't know I missed it until it was there again. I like how tall I am, 5'8". I love my smile and my teeth…

Yes!!!! A thousand times YES! It is a great workout and typically the people who go alot are really welcoming (at least in my class they were). Nobody cares what you look like. They all remember what it was like when they started. In my class there always seems to be one or two new people so the chances that your are the…

9.5 - I like your shoes!

I have lost almost an Irish Setter!

My measurements are iffy, but: What size did you start with? 18/20 What size are you now? 8/10 Most Current Stats: Hips? 42? Waist? 31? Thighs? ? Height? 5'8" Weight? CW=163, UGW=150, SW=230

This could be the funniest one on here. Had to steal and send to numerous people (with the sound file...)

Beautiful Reno, Nevada

65 Lbs gone for good! Can't believe I waited this long to start. Great job and keep up the good work!

Wow. I really am humbled by the response this post got. Thank you all for the wonderful words. I had mentioned that I read a blog that inspired this post so if anyone is interested in reading it, here it is: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/BruteSquad/view/inheritance-234689

Thanks everyone for the kind words! To everyone, good luck with your journey!

Thank you. Now this is stuck in my head. My son is 6 and no longer watches it, but the song remains...

I am not willing to give up beer. I make sure I have enough calories. Also, I learned to like (not love, like Fat Tire....mmmmm Fat Tire) Coors Light. If you like something heavier, Guiness is suprisingly low in calories. :drinker:

I actually emailed them for it a couple of weeks ago. If you private mesasge me with your email I will send it to you. You should be scared. I was shocked at how much their food "costs".

Congratulations! Such a great feeling. Keep up the good work! :bigsmile:
