you look amazing :)!

I feel ya! i started do extra-curriculars at my job, which caused me to go from eating pretty decently everyday and working out 5-6 days a week, to only working out two days a week and eating a lot of fast food. My house and my job are not in the same town, so most times I would waste time at like walmart and then eat fast…

microwavable Ore-Ida fries and chicken nuggets. used to get them at Piggly Wiggly...which is also not a staple store in the south anymore :(!

I've been doing Zumba since January of 2010. At that point I weighed around 300 pounds...and I am currently bouncing between 195-200. I had gotten down to 185 at one point, but I'm not teaching as many classes as i was previously. you can see all the pictures on my profile if you add me...the bigger pictures and the one of…

welcome to mfp! you can add me if you would like :)! you are def not too fat...and you've taken the first step to change yourself...so awesome for you :)!

congrats! that is completely awesome! I know you must feel amazing :)!

you can add me if you want! I have my diary public...and I have days (like today) that I will go over my goal! everyone has their days...in my opinion anyways! like today, my boyfriend got applebees and brought it home for lunch and then he went and go ice cream after we got out of the pool...so I will be way over today!…

I actually prefer cotton yoga pants to lycra pants...for me they breathe easier. I wear a regular underwire bra (I haven't found a good underwire sports bra yet...any info would be appreciated :) )...and then a wicking tank and a cotton shirt of some kind. I actually really like the 'boyfriend tees' from target. they are…

hey there! welcome to MFP :)! feel free to add me if you would like, I try to motivate and help as much as possible :)!

gotcha...will send a request :)!

well, you are dealing with a lot...and I'm not familiar with some of those illnesses, so I'm not sure what kind of effect they have on your body. I know it's very frustrating to be at the same place..I've been there did that, too. Is there anyway that you can possibly do yoga or anything to help build the energy and…

hi there! :)

first of all, let me say go you :)! it's hard to decide to lose weight, and stick with it, much less lose a massive number. when I first set that 100 pound loss goal, i was so intimidated. I would look at that number and say holy crap...can I really do this? there's no way! a few suggestions that helped me...use whatever…

when you find out what hotel you're staying out, see if they have a fitness room. most of them are small...a treadmill, bike, elliptical, and maybe a few free weight machines. if you know your schedule for your trip, see about fitting in a few workouts in there...or go for a walk. drink lots of water and try to maintain…

feel free to add me! I've lost 100 pounds, that I actually lost before I started using MFP. Plus the five extra...still have at least 25 more to go! I try to be as supportive as i can! BTW...you look beautiful in your pic :)!

I wear compression shorts underneath my walking shorts. they help out a lot! I've always carried my weight in my mid section, and I've always had an issue with the same thing!

Yep! I've lost a total of around 105 pounds, and I still see myself as a big girl. I go straight for clothes that are too big, and even when something fits and is cute, I think I can't wear it because it doesn't look good!

you can add me if you like! I'm at around 195 now, but I started out at 300 pounds!

hi there! you can add me if you like! I've lost just over 100 pounds to date, before i started using mfp...struggling with the last 25! you can do it :)!

great job! I remember when I hit that goal, was the best feeling ever! Now my goal is to stay in onederland! Keep up the amazing work!

yep...zumbacalories.com you put in your weight, if you do low, mid, or high impact, and low long, and it will give you a count of what you burned :)!

Welcome! Good luck...you got this :)!

sounds like a good plan :). the stairs should give you a good workout, if you have the time in your day to run them for 5 minutes or so. are you allowed to bring your own food on there?

good luck! work hard...you can do it :)!

I started out doing Zumba two years ago, and I am an instructor now, and i've lost right at 100 pounds! I love it!

I started taking it two years ago, and now I am an Instructor! I've lost over 100 pounds. It's a great workout...made for people of all shapes and sizes. It is SO much fun! I love it! :)

yep....I log Zumba myself...you can go to zumbacalories.com and you can put in how long you did the class and the intensity and it will tell you how much you've burned :)!

you can add me as well! I weighed 300 pounds january of 2010. I lost 115, but now I've put about 10 back on...so getting back at it hard! you can do it! :)

I am at a plateau as well! I've lost about 110 pounds, and now I am 100% stuck. Pretty much, I agree with what everyone else says...if you gain an extra calorie amount with exercise, eat it! Doesn't have to be all, but at least half or so! Try changing up your workout. I am a Zumba Instructor and I (until this week) taught…
