I also do the JM 30DS and JM Ripped30 workouts. I was tracking them as circuit training too, until I got a HRM. (Polar FT4. Love it...invest if you can!) When I did the workouts again after using my HRM I noticed the MFP estimates were actually quite accurate. Obviously everybody is different in their workouts, but I…

I'm looking for some suggestions too! I'm such a carbaholic it's difficult to get in all of my protein. Thanks for posting!

Great job, you look fantastic!

Intriguing...I'll have to give this a try. Thanks for posting!

I started working at a coffee shop 5 months ago and had never had a cup of coffee in my life. I hated it at first, but since then I have slowly developed a taste for it and drink a cup of dark roast almost everyday. What I put in mine is sugar free syrup (usually vanilla) to sweeten it and a few splashes of non-fat milk. I…

I can think of dozens of ways to change this up and I can't wait to try them all! Mwahahaha!

I used to mix a hot cocoa packet with a little milk and eat it like that. Sometimes I would peanut butter or chocolate chips. I also hated spaghetti and would just eat the noodles with ranch dressing on them.

Done! My mom is going to be so excited...I can't wait to surprise her with these!

It sounds weird, but I'm afraid to lose my curves. I love my body and the way it looks right now, but I know I need to lose 70 lbs to be in a healthy range. I'm afraid I'm going to lose that curvy figure that I love because it makes me feel like a woman and not a stick!

I love Hungry Girl! This single serving recipe is delicious and only 123 calories. http://www.hungry-girl.com/newsletters/raw/954

Me too! I would love more support and motivation. Feel free to add me...that goes for everybody. :)

Can't wait to try these...thanks!

Oh man, now I want mac & cheese. I'm a pasta junkie as well, and absolutely refuse to give it up. I don't think I should have to give up the stuff I love, it will obly make me miserable. I just go for smaller portions of whole wheat pasta, or Tofu Shirataki noodles and load up on veggies! Broccoli, beans, peas,…

It's mostly just uncomfortable/sore, but I can dull it with heat pads and pain meds. I was hoping it would just be stress on the joint or muscles from a new workout routine, but I think it couldn't hurt to call my doctor. Thanks for all your help!

I put in a little skim milk and some sugar-free syrup, usually vanilla or hazelnut.

You can get a estimate of calories burned at zumbacalories.com. I have Zumba for the Wii, and I lose about 250 calories in 20 mins, and I sweating and gasping for breath at the end.

Getting sick sucks! I just stop tracking. I still try to keep the calories low, but it takes that extra stress off when I stop tracking and just focus on getting myself better. I usually end up losing weight anyway, because I'm too miserable to eat mush anyway. It's all about the orange juice though!

I've never had a problem loving my body...curves are sexy! Gives me confidence and joy when shopping for new clothes. Just trying to get rid of my "spare tire"...and last week I had to tighten my belt one notch to keep my pants from falling off! On my way there! Time to go shopping again!

As usual, I 'd like to lose 5 pounds by the end of the month. I'm also trying to stay motivated enough to do a little exercising at least 5 days a week.

<--- That girl, over there, to the left. Beautiful on the inside AND out! Sexy and I know it!

Cheat days got me through the holidays without feeling deprived or guilty. Being able to take a day every once and a while and not think too hard about every single calorie is a relief. I know it's not for everyone though. My mom can't handle having cheat days because it totally derails her for a few days. You'll figure…

I used to be on WW and lost 70 pound on the (on-line) program. The points system just worked for me. However, this site is totally free and has a much larger database than WW does. WW site only had healthy things in it and sometimes I wanted a piece of chocolate cake dammit! Anyway, I'm loving this site and have told all…

Way to go girl! You look amazing!
