Woohoo! I had a raspberry cheesecake special k bar and green tea as a snack... Really satisfied my sweet tooth! Will be having a couple of slices of pizza with veggies.... Really worked my butt of this week and I want a treat darn it!!

My music / headphones A good sports bra My Polar HRM

Hey 30+! Feel free to add me! I too am watching portion control and exercise which has worked for me. Of course, some days / weeks are better than others. Pretty pleased with my results being slow and steady, truly a lifestyle change!! Best wishes on your journey!

Yesterday!

I agree, we have to change our mindset toward food. I also figured out that I am an emotional, when I'm stressed out, food is where I turn. Although I've gotten better and as much as possible put exercise in that place of emotional eating, its still a struggle!! Wishing you the best on this journey and if you need support…

Wow we did these moves in class yesterday, using the step box, and oh how I can feel that I actually worked the triceps!

Yes looking forward to showing a little skin this summer!!

Exercise 5-6 times a week even if that means 2 a days Clean up my eating habits Lose 6 pounds - would get me a pound below my goal Strength train 3 times a week Try new fitness classes

Some good leg work here!!

You are going to have to see what works for you... I gave that method a try for 7 days and maintained my weight. On none exercise days I eat my normal calories on exercise days I may eat 150 of those calories but not much more than that.... Good luck to you in reaching your desired goal!!!

I must admit it was hard at first to let go of my old clothes but afterwhile of still putting them on I felt really uncomfortable because it was slouchy like.... I just donate.... Get rid of the old stuff and start anew! I buy I couple items that are a bit tight which is my motivation to keep going! You are on the right…

I love water.... It has truly helped me in this journey!! Much success to you and keep on chugging!!

Hey Dee! "Way to go to sticking to your plan today along with getting the exercise done early! You were looking hot in that Love Las Vegas shirt yesterday"

The last couple of weeks in March were horrific for me.... But it's all self sabotage... I had lost 8 pounds from mid February to mid March..... Then I just got overwhelmed self sabotage and binged like crazy. So Easter weekend I kept up the non sense.... I am a daily weigher but have not been on the scale in almost two…

My goal is to check myself because I have been out if control. Get back to tracking, exercising 6 days a week, getting my water in! I have not seen the scale # in almost two weeks... Im nervous about the results, I'm a daily weigher so.this is unlike me.

My goal is to check myself because I have been out if control. Get back to tracking, exercising 6 days a week, getting my water in!

^This^

Sometimes I do especially on weekends which are more struggle.... But sometimes I may just eat 100 calories back... You will need to find what works for you... Everybody is different.... Good luck!

I drink about 100 ounces of water a day during TOM to help with the water retention. I too crave sweets and chips, I have them too. But instead of a whole chocolate bar I break pieces and spread throughout the week. I get small bags of chips. I just make sure they fit into my calories for the day... Hope you find what…

Welcome!! Having MFP is one of the things that helped me get through this journey. Sharing my triumphs and epic fails with people of a like mind has helped me push through! Please feel free to add me and we can encourage each other!

Congrats keep up the good progress!

Way to go!

I added my own Zumba exercise and put in the calories burned based on my HRM... Believe me depending on my energy that day the calories burned vary...

Congrats! I just made it to the single digit club as well!!

Wow thought I was the only one... Psychological its all in the mind, keep pushing!

From what I understand lifting is building muscle so not a bad thing. I do weights no more than 15 pounds and starting to see definition. Keep at it especially if you are on track with everything else!

I'm 5'0" and targeting to be between 140-135... I have never been this small but that is my goal! Don't really want to get smaller than that just want to be fit and healthy. I like a little thickness... Lol!

Yes a HRM is a rude awakening! It is more accurate than the machines and the calories MFP gives... I always go with the lower #. I do try to stay in the fitness zone during cardio usually drop to fat burning while doing strength... Good luck!

It took me over a year to get where I am.... I never want to go back to where I was.... So I keep on exercising and eating healthy as I possibly can... Some days are better than others but eventually I check myself...
