  • I always go with 4 ounces of lowfat vanilla yogurt mixed into my Kashi Go-Lean high-protein cereal plus a protein shake.
  • I have both Just Dance 3 and Zumba 2. I thought I was working hard with Just Dance but the Zumba kicks butt. My only problem with it, and those who are younger won't have the same issue, is that its hell on my knees LOL. But yes, Zumba works you harder. IMO, it's also more fun!
  • I don't even own a home...I'm the sole breadwinner and we rent a small two bedroom condo. That rent runs me almost 3K a month. I do manage to save a little bit but it's tight. I will be buying a home as soon as I can and that will help with the taxes but until then by the time the taxes and health insurance etc take their…
  • Yes...exactly. I do earn a bit more than this a month but we barely scrape by after paying taxes and bills...life in San Francisco is muy expensivo.
  • I'm 53, and am here trying to learn how to lose weight and stay healthy after initially losing 60 pounds on MediFast. I stopped MediFast about a year ago and have regained 20 pounds and I'm putting on the breaks and am here now learning how to do this right. Feel free to add me!
  • I lost 60 pounds on MediFast. A year later, I have gained 20 of it back. I am here trying to learn how to continue to lose while eating normally. I just about went insane on the powder diet.
  • Yes, I lost 60 pounds on MediFast in about 9 months. It started falling out at about 50 pounds. I was having some other medical issuess at the time as well so I wasn't sure if it was the diet or the medical issues, both of which have been known to cause hair loss. I started taking big doses of Biotin, and now, about a year…
  • I'm in! CW May 1 - 185 GW June 1 - 175
  • I have done two Zumba Wii classes now. Yesterday I did a short low-intensity workout and today I did a medium low-intensity. Today it told me I had burned 493 calories. I have a hard time believing that because I don't feel like I worked all that hard. I was surprised to find out that I was sweating a bit though. I feel…
  • Me = Hooligan x 7. 7 Tats that is. Vine and stars down my entire spine. More vine and leaves as a tramp stamp. Foo Fighters lyrics and musical notes on both upper arms. Black cat on left shoulder. Griffin on right thigh. Burn Halo lyrics on right leg. Got lots of real estate left...gunna keep goin till I can't go no more!
  • I try to do 1200 or so a day net, I usually get in about 60 minutes of "Just Dance 3" on the Wii so I am grossing around 1400 or so calories. I'm seeing slow, but steady weight loss. I lost 65 pounds last year on MediFast. After taking a break over the holidays and gaining 10 pounds, I started here 5 weeks ago to nip it in…
  • I have lost 5 pounds in 4 weeks. Slow and steady.
  • I lost 65 pounds last year on MediFast. It is a great program and works well if you follow it. I did lose a lot of hair but I understand that is a problem a lot of people have who rapidly lose a lot of weight and I also went into surgical menopause at the same time, so I wasn't surprised. I left Medifast due to the expense…
  • I lost 65 pounds last year on Medifast which is 5 small "meals" (aka protein supplements/shakes) plus a sensible dinner. Now I've changed to Wonderslim which is 6 small "meals" and a sensible dinner. It works for me. I lose about 2 pounds a week when I stick with it.
  • I've also read that 4.2 sweat points = 1 calorie. But it doesn't seem right to me because I usually do around 2700+ sweat points in an hour and I don't feel like I've worked all that hard. I just use "dancing - general", and it comes to around 300 to 350 points for an hour. I know one thing - this feels a lot more like fun…
  • I use Almond Milk. 1 cup is 40 calories, so a couple of tablespoons is not bad at all. When I learend that my CoffeeMate creamers were 30 calories each, I had to ditch them! I found this info on Almond Milk: Almond milk contains ground almonds and water. It's a common substitute for animal milk, especially for people who…
