I just purchad the Zumba DVD set off of QVC - I'm so excited and I can't wait. I usually go to Zumba class at the Gym on Base where I work, the instructor is very good. I know I must look like a complete fool doing the moves, but I love it. Its a good workout and you will definitely sweat. I have a hrm but I've never used…

I recently tried "acorn squash" little butter and brown sugar baked. It was really good!! Will be buying again!

my name is lean and mean machine - that what I feel like as the weight is coming off!

I was going faithfully to the gym last year for over a year, I recently stopped going to the gym in May and I've lost much more doing my…

Hey Jamie, I was becoming obsessesd with the scale too. I now weigh myself once a month as of August 17 - next weigh in is September 17th. I also found that it keeps me accounted more, because of when the month gets closer to my weigh in, I don't want the scale to remain the same. I also found that I like it better this…

I eat the "high Fiber" maple and brown sugar oatmeal for breakfast. By the time I get home from work, I'm running to the bathroom! It has to say "high fiber". Try this for about a week and let me know.

Count me in too. My food diary is open for my friends to see and to evaluate how I'm doing. As far as the weigh in - I only weight myself every 4 weeks. I was becoming to obsessed with the scale and this way I stay motivated to keep on eating right and exercising.

Welcome Ana: This site is wonderful - the people on the site are wonderful and full of support. I will definitely add you as a friend.

I usually don't go to bed until 11:00pm - I eat dinner anytime around 6:30 - 7:00pm. So usually around 10:00-10:30 I want a snack, so I will usually have 1-2 pieces of the sugar free mint patties, they are rich and they curve my sweet tooth. I eat one or two and go to bed.
