I am new to the forums..what's an NSV?

I am slowly working my way through the Zumba DVD set. If you have good knees, I would recommend it as a beginner. I'm 24 yrs old and started at 246.5 lbs with a height of 5' 5.5". I found the beginners program challenging but doable.

Mmm bump!

You have gorgeous eyes! <--- He beat me to it. What's a guapo?

On the computer, you can change your preference by pressing the "Goals" tab under the "MY HOME" tab. You can opt to lose, maintain, or even gain weight.

I wish potato bread was a whole grain...

I just completed my MS in soil science, and I was a wreck with my health. Gained about 40 pounds in two years. Between classes, teaching, and thesis, I just did not eat healthy or get out of the dungeon enough. I didn't start focusing on my health until I graduated...a poor decision, in my opinion. I have friends in grad…

When you go out for a nice meal, skip the nice drinks. Opt for water. If you really want to splurge on a soda, ask for diet soda or (even better) seltzer with lime or lemon. Always ask for water with your additional drink. When the first drink runs out, do not get a refill. Limit yourself to the first glass. And ask for a…

....I will gladly give you some of my F-cups...

WOW, you look great! I especially notice the changes in your face and belly - great job, keep it up!

When I get down to my goal weight, I want to dress up as Laura Croft for Halloween.

Wow, thank you for the inspiration! I also agree that your haircut is adorable (and you totally pull it off with your new, smaller frame)!

I knew wrestlers in high school who did this. But it does not help with the long term.. perhaps she thought she looks better in black plastic.

I learned recently that diabetics cannot eat watermelon because it has unbelievably high sugar content. Bananas are also high in sugar. Try eating fruits with lower sugar content. But I agree with most everyone else - fruit sugars are better than processed sugars, when eaten in moderation.

Hi there! I just started my fitness and health journey You can read more about me in my profile. Feel free to add!

Congratulations on your progress so far! There is a marked difference in the way you looked then and the way you look now. Keep up the great work!

I've made quinoa meatloaf and quinoa stir-fry, and it's ALL really good. You can also make a big batch and use it in salads for the week. Here's the recipe I used for the meatloaf:…

Oooo! I may try this the next time I see a movie...

I did personal weight training a couple years ago, and I typically worked out in the evening. A couple times we tried in the morning. Sadly, during my morning sessions I could only bench about a THIRD of what I could in the afternoons. My trainer was surprised by my lack of ability in the mornings. I don't know if it was…

I'm halfway through the second book. My friends recommended the series to me, a lot of them couldn't put it down. The writing is pretty poor, and somewhat akin to porn. I'll finish reading the series, but I'd rather be spending time getting steamy in my own bed! (I'll lose more calories that way..) ;P

Typically when I go to the movies, I bring along a diet soda or flavored seltzer water in my movie purse (extra large!). I enjoy popcorn, so I'll share a medium with my date(s), but I never get extra butter. If you like popcorn and want to share, here's a handy tip: Bring along coffee filters for everyone in your party.…

Thank you for making me smile!!

Look at how much you've changed from your before to after photos - just think of how awesome it will be when your current photos become your BEFORE photos! Hot mama!! Great job, keep it up!

I'm glad to see that I'm not alone! :)
