I'm a Feaster too, but a little of #3...I know once I get started...OH BOY....watch out. So what I've been doing is pausing before I start the feast. I rethink what has happened in the past and how I felt. Then I quickly analyze, based on how I'm feeling (#3). Will I be able to tell myself to stay within normal limits or…

I was looking at getting new zumba DVDs but I went onto YouTube and found a lot of videos of classes, saved them to a favorites file on YouTube and now I can access many different songs, styles, and instructors whenever I want. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else is looking for new Zumba stuff, but is not looking to…

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

mmorales - you are doing GREAT!!! and my friend ShrinkRapt451 - you are an inspiration to me! I had about 5 days this month that I definitely did not get in my 8 glasses of water....but I'm back on track! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

I found a way to get around the excuse of not exercising after work...I brought my Zumba DVD's to work and have started a free after work Zumba fitness co-worker party! There used to be a group that went to a class after work, but the class didn't start until 5:30 pm. There was also a smaller group that did Zumba in the…

You did great!!! I didn't have a hard time today. It's easier when I am at home than when I am at work. Any ideas?

You say you "ONLY" had 8 glasses....that's GREAT!

Hello! Welcome to the team!! So you gained back 8...look at the bright side....it wasn't all 25 right? It wasn't even 1/2 of the 25. The really great thing about this is that you have already taken notice about the 8 and you are here obviously wanting to do something about it. Good luck on the job hunt!

http://www.zumbacalories.com/ is the site for zumba calories burned Love love love Zumba!!!

MissMeshia81, it does sound like you have obstacles to overcome, but they can be won. Maybe start with a smaller goal of using you 15 minute break to walk. Or you could take a quick 15-30 minute walk when you get up (not early) or right before you go to work. Try to meet a goal of doing this 3x a week. You most definitely…

OMG! You are killing me! 11 glasses! WOW!!!!! I would need a catheter for sure! LOL I'm just kidding! That is awesome for everyone getting in their quota they have set. Great job everyone!!

I have kept up with the challenge! It was close a couple of nights, but another quick glass before bed (and a potty break in the middle of night, LOL) and I made it! HOW IS EVERYONE ELSE DOING?

Very very nice! You are an inspiration to me! And you look FAB-U-LOUS!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! Keep tipping that cup!

That's a good question.... How about we post either daily or do a report of how many days in the week you met the challenge. Sound good?:happy:

Agreed! Support is needed, like a good bra! :laugh:

Could you keep some of the same foods or alter the recipe a bit to decrease calories and fat content? My husband never noticed when I changed from regular sour cream to light.

I love spiced rum and diet wild cherry pepsi. It's my drink of choice and I usually have 1-2 large glasses a night... I count my calories but know I need to cut down. I know my body will like me better too. I am ready to set a goal of 1 regular glass per night. THANK YOU for starting this group! Gotta go and fill up my…

You don't have to give up wine, just lots of it! LOL Just Kidding! I'm excited you have joined our team and good luck on the healing of the leg!

The bump in my road continues to be "volume" of food. I LOVE the taste of food and find it hard to stop, even when I am full.....

JUMP AROUND!!!! GO PACK GO!!! My name is Sarah. I was born and raised in Antigo, WI and have lived in Rothschild for the past 17 years. I am a CHEESEHEAD through and through. My husband is a Steeler's Fan....so you can imagine our house during last years Super Bowl! LOL I will be watching the Steeler's game with him this…

Hello Team! I am a 45 year, old/young, RN Regional Supervisor with a Homecare Hospice program in northcentral Wisconsin. I am married with two children, both boys. One at UW-Madison and the other in Junior High. Both think they still know more about life than their mother...:wink: Over the past 5 years, I have quit…

School plus healthcare....ambition! I just finished my MSN in October with UoP. Now that I am done, I can see where I used school as my crutch as to why I didn't eat healthy, exercize, or rest enough. How far along are you in your masters program? Good for you for reaching out for your healthcare goals! :smile:

Excellent goals!!! I am going to add in bringing a lunch to work. I have the best intentions, but as I am scrambling in the morning to get out the door....I tend to forget. Looking forward to your success!

I hear you on the over 100+ lbs to lose...but I am owning each and every pound and will say good-bye to each one with zest! :drinker: I love your plan of care for yourself for January, very specific. I love Zumba and plan to do it today before an afternoon football game. I think you are set for a positive month!

2 years on MFP! That's amazing! How has MFP helped to keep you working towards your goals? What kind if races do you like to run? I agree, excess sodium is not a friend to me either! LOL :noway: What are your goals for January?

Welcome to our team. I am new to myfitnesspal too and have found I am more aware of what I am eating because I have to log it. Do you have a smaller goal for January for weight loss?

Oh my....If I would have worked at a grocery store, I would have gained 200 lbs! :wink: You sound like you are in the right frame of mind and have a passion to make a change, and get another Coach handbag :love: . What are your smaller goals for January? I would encourage you break them down into weekly goals. Good for…

:happy: There's no better time like the present to start, right? Make a small goal for this week and celebrate your success when you have accomplished it! I started out at 282 for a 5'8". In the past, even though I have been successful at losing the weight, I always concentrated on the end result and would get upset when I…

That is a great goal! Do you go to the gym with a friend?
