Zumba World Party for the XBox One - 45 minute class

My husband knew I wanted a princess cut single stone. He actually went to a jewler hand picked the diamond and the setting. I was clueless, he proposed on a Thursday in our home when we were eating dinner. As far as our wedding bands, we went and picked those out together a few months before we got married.

When I started (prior to joining MFP) I was up to 199, I'm 5'5. I joined MFP in November and I met my goal of 145 back in April. It was a lot of hard work, and it continues to be, but so far I've been maintaining. Feel free to add me, I am on here everyday :-) and I try to be supportive. I still need the support even with…

I just started Ripped in 30 again on Monday. I haven't done it since March/April, I forgot how painful it is. I also have a love/hate relationship with Jillian, I love that her workouts actually work, but I hate her (she just annoys me). Anyway, great progress for you, that is awesome!

You look amazing, congrats!

I have a 2008 Ford Edge Limited. I love love love the panoramic sunroof and the auto rear lift gate. Also gets about 19mpg which is fine by me, better than what my husband gets (14mpg). The AWD is great too, I never feel like I'm slipping when it snows, it's a smoothe ride. However, I do have to constantly look down to…

Hi and welcome. I have been on MFP since November and lost my last 23 pounds to reach my goal weight. I try to be motivating to all of my friends that I have made on here. Anyone can feel free to add me.

I feel this way all of the time. I am constantly looking at myself in the mirror and saying, wow, I'm still fat, and then my husband yells at me and says, "You look fantastic, what are you talking about?". I have struggled with my weight my whole life, my heaviest I was about 245 and now I'm down to 145. I didn't join MFP…

Mmmm, I love cheese, I would absolutely never give it up! I love fresh mozzarella and tomato salad, so delicious. I also just got fresh blue cheese from the farm down the street, which is absolutely delicious in a salad! No idea what is wrong with people!

Sorry I can't make it, summers are a busy time of year for me, we always have something to do. Enjoy yourselves!

Only 2!

I get that a lot, especially from people who are skinnier than me. It's like a competition to them I guess. I'm doing this for myself not to compete with anyone. Or I hear, "you look great at your current weight, you really shouldn't lose anymore". Everyone is apparently more aware of what I should or should not weigh! I…

Welcome! I used to be the "big girl" in the room, family, class, work, etc. I woke up one day when I hit about 235 pounds and was wearing a size 20, and said I don't want to be big anymore! That was 8 years ago. I joined MFP back in November after I had gotten down to 165 or so, and I met my goal weight in April of 145. I…

Hi i am Jess and I am from Meriden,

I don't consider myself on a diet (because if I did it would be a huge failure), instead I tell them I am making healthier food choices to better my life. Most people understand that and leave it alone. I never told anyone when I started losing weight because I feel as that puts to much pressure, and this isn't supposed to…

I upped my intake from 1250 to I think it's at 1480, I eat back about 80% of my exercise calories, I never net less than 1200. I have been losing weight since this change.

I tried that whole 1200 calorie thing and it definitely wasn't for me. I actually stopped loosing weight. You should set your weight loss goal to 1 pound a week instead of 2. I'm eating about 1400 calories a day and since then I have been losing again and I feel more satisfied.

I am with you on this. We are talking about getting trying to have a baby next summer. I've worked so hard to get where I am today (I hit healthy BMI) and I have about 10 pounds to my ultimate goal weight. It terrifies me to get pregnant. So many people gain so much weight. One of my friends actually spoke to her doctor…

Silk Coconut Milk and sometimes Silk Lite Chocolate Soy.

That's great! You are losing inches instead of pounds, which is just as wonderful! Keep up the great work!

A couple of things...1 AE runs small, so that is why you are wearing a bigger size. 2. I didn't get into a size 8 until I was in the lower 150's, I'm only 5'5, so that could be a little different. 3. 17-22 pounds is a giant difference, I dropped 2 sizes with 20 pounds! As you tone your body your thighs will shrink. Don't…

Jason Aldean & Luke Bryan July 13th!

I was in your shoes last year, I didn't want to be a "fat" bride. I got married last July, I lost about 35 pounds by the time I got married. (I didn't join MFP until this past November, when I realized I was putting weight back on). Anyway, don't stress about your dress not fitting, that's what seamstresses are for. My…

I stressed about turning 30, 31 is not bothering me, but 32 is going to freak me out!!

Almost 31, feel free to add.

I can't believe they printed that, she used a weight loss supplement, how should that be a success story? Why don't they take one of the success stories from here?? I read Fitness Magazine and I love that they use real people who work hard to lose weight.

I saw that in my magazine this past week, and I am definitely a hangry person, I need food!

I heard awful things on Jawbone Up, it really got horrible reviews. The Fuel Band seems to be working better than that.
