My advice is to stock up on some low cal treats and allow yourself something two hours after dinner (like Skinny Cow). That way you have something to look forward to and she has her full fat treat and you have your "skinny" treats. Also get some real flavorful caffeine free hot tea - I like Good Earth Original in Sweet &…

Not enough difference to worry about. If it were me - I would use the lesser of the two :-)

Amazing - you have gone from adorable to gorgeous!

I did - the guys at the checkout said they were soooo good. To me they are horrible! Threw away. I know lots of people like them but I don't get it!

Hmmm - height would help. I am 5'7" and weighed around 125-130 in High School. My goal is set at 150 but once I get there I MAY want an additional 5-10 - just depends how I look, feel and believe I can MAINTAIN!

Wow! Amazing seems so trivial. Good for you - all that hard work sure paid off!

I already cook - but thought I would share a few recipe sites for you to explore. I think you and your husband will really enjoy home cooked meals. Start with quick and few ingredient recipes and work up from there. Good luck! www.hungry-girl.com www.skinnytaste.com www.3fatchicks.com www.eatingwell.com…

I am 5'7" - goal is set for 150 (11 more lbs). Depending on how I look I may go 5-10 lbs more once I reach that. I am larger boned (can't get my pinky and thumb to touch around my wrist).

Just create an exercise under my exercises. I use my HRM numbers but you can use the Wii Fit calories burned (hmmm - now that I think of it they don't do that for Zumba for Wii do they). I burn about 300 for 60 minute Intermediate class on Zumba for Wii. If this does not work just put under dancing general and know the…

Pretty funny - but I too went to your profile pics and say BRAVA! Great job!

I have an HRM and do the 20 min Free Run sometimes. I used to do the 10 min guided run and shorter free run too. I burn about 110-120 calories on the 20 min run. Hmmm - got me thinking - I should add this back in while watching TV at night :-) Oh - and I log under My Exercises - I just named mine Wii Fit Plus and put the…

Some of my favorite websites for low cal recipes. Don't forget to look at the MFP Recipe Message Board. I get from there quite often. www.hungry-girl.com - for swaps and recipes. She has a daily newsletter you can sign up for also. www.skinnytaste.com www.3fatchicks.com www.eatingwell.com www.cookinglight.com…

WooHoo - amazing. Congratsto both of you. You are both going to look GREAT at your repeat wedding!

I use Oroweat/Arnold sandwich thins for sandwichs (100 cal) and get some artisan bread at the Farmers Market that has no fat, preservatives or sugar. I have bread a couple times a week and put it in my diary. I LOVE bread. Since it is not a diet for me - but a lifestyle change - I am having the things I love in moderation.

I am assuming these are for Wii. I have both. Zumba for Wii is a mega workout - and I take classes and have the DVD's. I burn almost what I do at the live class! I am in week three of EA Sports Active 2 challenge. Increases a few minutes and had you do new exercises each time you use it. Good workout - some of it a GREAT…

Try the Capezio dance sneaker - I say this because Capezio makes ballet slippers and toe shoes - and they are what my instructors wear. I have not bought a pair.

It can be done! I am 11 lbs away from 62 lb loss - started in June. Welcome and Good luck!

Diet Swiss Miss or a hot real flavorful tea helps me!

Honestly it depends on the type of exercise. I find some of their numbers are lower or equal to my HRM numbers - many are higher. If you have programmed your HRM to you I would stick to those numbers. I never eat ALL my exercise cals anyway!

Great work! Now - have him take back the 2X and get an XL too :-)

Honestly - if really depends on how good the cooks in the kitchen are and how they are trained on portions and recipes. It does not sound like you were served the correct meal!

I am so sorry you are discouraged. One thing that I can tell you is that you have to want it - really want it - for YOU! Not for anyone else or even for a specific event - like a wedding. When I wake in the morning I really want it. When I don't want to work out I remind myself how much I want it. When I grocery shop I…

Oooo - have a trip planned end of January to NZ - my REWARD trip! You can do this! If I can - anyone can!

Yum! AND I have the no sugar added Nesquick!

Nice bottle of wine for me :-) Not into liqour

Great work! I know just how you feel. I used to say that about the 5 lb bags of sugar - then the 10 lb bag of potatoes! I have a little dog - so we don't have any 30 lb bags of dog food around LOL. Now - what comes in 50 lb bags.....hmmmmm :-)

I believe our "happy place" is where we feel healthy AND can maintain. I have a friend who went down to 150 years ago and went up and down for years. She is now 165 and CAN maintain - and feels good about it. Finding that happy place takes some time to figure oout. I think you have found it :-)

Most restaurants will prepare something to order. Get a grilled chicken breast and lots of steamed veggies!

I have posted this a few times - getting smart now and saving it so I can copy and paste. Hope it helps! Here is my rating - on what I have: Wii Fit Plus - GREAT for starting out. Started with Advanced Step. Now use it still for Free run, Free Step, Strength exercises and Boxing EA Sports Active 2 - Different than Wii Fit…

I am not vegetarian but enjoy some vegetarian meals - like: Quinoa with a shallots, cranberries and slivered almonds Butternut squash lasagna Butternut squash soup Dominex frozen eggplant cutlets with a bit of low sodium, fat free marinara and pecorino romano Acorn squash stuffed with apples, cranberries, onion, nuts and a…
