My FAVE! I do lots of ways - fish tacos using fire roasted mango salsa (from Trader Joes). I often use a tablespoon of low cal dressing, sprinkle with panko and roast in 400 oven for 15 mins. Recently I used this method with the Litehouse Orange Citrus dressing - YUMMO!

It is key to eat in the morning to get your metabolism going. I used to have to force myself to eat in the morning - wait an hour or two if you have to - but EAT breakfast. When it is stalled - you won't feel like eating. I held onto lots of weight by doing this. Good luck!

I am 3 lbs from maintenance and just changed my goal to lose .5 a week - it gave more more calories so I can learn and "slide into maintenance".

Well - Wii Fit is only one program that the Nintendo Wii can do. As others have said - and I agree - Zumba for Wii and EA Sports Active are TERRIFIC workouts. Wii Fit Plus - the second issuance of Wii Fit is good for beginners - I get bored with it but this is what I started with. I still do Free step and Free run. Just…

I was growing out of my 1X's and was going to have to buy the 2X's! I REALLY want this - I lecture myself everyday to stay focused and exercise (I still hate it). MFPeeps help keep me focused - this site is what really is working for me. I know now that this is for the rest of my life.

A long as you are in the "zone" you are burning fat. A continuous workout should get it up to your max target - it get's past my target zone with Zumba, for example. The key is the keep the AVERAGE in your target zone :-)

There is a strap for the heart rate monitors (HRM's) that transmitts the HR to the watch type monitor. You need this for accuracy - I have tried one without and it just is not worth it. The Polars are good and not too too expensive. I got mine at Amazon. They are worth it. You should eat some of your exercise calories - I…

The DVD's are not the workout you get with the Wii game. Only one gets my heart rate up - the Live one. Wii game has beginner, intermediate and advanced with varying times and routines and is NOT boring. While I still burn more in my class - this game is an awesome workout and burns more than EA Sports Active, Wii Fit…

You are at an age that it will probably bounce back - just do some toning and strength exercises - along with cardio. I have lost a lot and seeing my skin get a big saggy and crepey (sp?) - but I am 25 years older than you!

Outdoor? With the dogs? My dog LOVES to be chased :-)

There are reduced sodium turkey slices out there - or better yet - roast a fresh turkey breast (I like Empire Kosher that I buy at Trader Joes but most major chains have them in the meat department). Slice and enjoy for dinner and lunches all week. You can even freeze the sliced meat.
-
I find the same thing. 1 - switchup your workouts and 2) make sure to adjust your heart rate monitor strap to comfortably tight. I continually do this but just yesterday I noticed it was lose - and I burned 100 more in a 60 min workout than I did a few days before!
-
Congratulations - this is a GREAT achievement! You look marvelous :-)

A bit fattening - but you don't need much. Brown Butter Sage sauce is my favorite for butternut squash ravs. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/mario-batali/butter-and-sage-sauce-recipe/index.html

Give it some time - it will come. While I have lost the weight (cardio cardio, cardio) I am still toning in the mid-section. I do Tony Horton's 7 min abs (on YouTube) everyday - plus my Zumba instructor is Zumba Tone certified and is focusing on this section for me!
-
I love my protein shakes in the morning - post workout for me. If you want to get it up to 100 I think it would be wise to add one. There are zillions of things you can put in them - lots of recipes - just Google. I get one that is low cal and low sugar - Designer Whey - use French Vanilla more than the Chocolate.

Go to the store - look at labels. Buy something yummy and allow yourself a portion of it EVERY day! That way you always know you get your treat - I do mine after dinner. Just make sure your treat fits into the calorie plan. This is REAL life afterall

Just took a glance at a couple of days - looks really great. Suggest you try to stay under what MFP gives you in Carbs, Fats and Sodium - and go over in Protein and Fiber. Track all of these. Good luck to you!

Now THIS is a success story. You may not know this but YOU are an inspiration to MANY. Think of how many wonderful years you just ADDED to your LIFE! AMAZING! Congratulations!

While I was losing, I took some of the clothes that I really liked to the tailor at the dry cleaner. That way I did not have to continually buy and donate through the loss. It's cheaper than buying new - and I got to wear the clothes that I really loved. I did donate A LOT and gave some to my sister too.

Salmon is the worst fish for people who do not like FISH! Try halibut or mahi mahi. My easiest prep is to slather on a tablesppon of light italian dressing and sprinkle panko bread crumbs on top. A bit of salt and plenty of pepper. Pop into a 400 oven for 15-20 minutes and it is YUM!

Take over the control. While she is your Mother - she is a guest in YOUR home. YOU do the cooking and the shopping - make yummy healthy meals for her! Fresh fruit with some fat free whipped topping for dessert!

Takes planning when you are going to be busy. For me - I fill my Sigg bottle at night and put in fridge for grab and go. Yogurt on the way out the door and stuff my purse with apple, Baby Bel light cheese, Zone Perfect or Think Think bar and a 100 calorie pack - or similar items. I gained my weight starving all day and…

Zumba live is the best of the set. Zumba for Wii is even BETTER. Or you can go to www.zumba.com and look up a class near you - tremendous burn and FUN with a group!
