Hi. Never get the fries if your meal comes with it- order extra veggies and order them plain (I sometimes ask for a side dish of butter and will just "touch" the veggie in it to add a little flavor, and then count for 1 TBPS of butter in my daily calorie count). I also order double veggies in place of anything else that…

I'm on Day 7 of JM 30 Day Shred... lost 2 inches in my waist and 1 inch in my stomach already. The first two levels are each 27 minutes from start to finish; not sure about level 3 yet since I just started level 2.

Congratulations - you look great!!!!

I feel for ya! Up until January of this year, I was drinking about 48 oz of coca cola a day, always starting my day with a medium from Wendy's or McDonald's - and it had to be fountain drinks. Since 2009, I quit smoking & quit drinking alcohol and regular coke became my "thing" (along with gaining 70 lbs). For years, I was…

112, but went to 104 afterwards and stayed there around 4 years. Last time I saw that number was 1988. My goal now is 118.

Megadeth - Foreclosure of a Dream!!

I have the pink Polar FT4 - been using it about three weeks now and absolutely LOVE IT!!! I got it on bodytronics.com for only $61.88 and free shipping. It is one of the best investments I've made! Definitely worth the price. I also found a Droid phone app called jogtracker and I set it when I jog/walk and it's always…

Great job!

Yay!!! Fantastic!! I just now my first time doing the 30 day shred. You've given me more inspiration as I thought I was going to die at the end doing the bicycle crunches.

I log EVERYTHING as close to accurate as possible, even when I don't do so well. I don't really go over calories, but days like yesterday when I ate half a peanut butter meltaway and then pizza for dinner - I feel so guilty so I make myself accountable for every little thing that I eat or drink. I'm afraid if I take one…

I go by what ingredients are in the food I order and usually they can tell you. You can't get an exact number, but I'll get an estimate and add some calories to it.

You can definitely see a difference - congrats! More inspiration for me to get the DVD.. I just ordered it from Amazon today.

LOL... thanks for the laughs this morning!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!

I am 45 and 5'1" (and a half - lol)

Well... I'm bigger than the others it seems at 38DD/DDD (would love to have reduction some day), but over the weekend I found the first bra that has allowed the girls to "stay where they are supposed to be" - lol. It's a bright red Nike satin like thing and you'd think I won a million bucks. I found it at TJMaxx for only…

THANKS!!!!

HI! Same thing is happening with me... I'm in jeans I haven't fit into in two years, I'm down into XL tops from 2X/3X, but my stomach and waist measurements are not changing. I gave up the measuring (I even tried switching tape measures three times - lol). I figure as long as my clothes are fitting and getting better, all…

Hi. I'd never done yoga before, but started with Bob Harper's weight loss yoga. Loved it so much I went and bought the Bob Harper yoga warrior dvd, too (along with his pure burn, pure strength). Love them all, but especially the Yoga ones. Although I'm still having a hard time with some of the poses in the Yoga Warrior…

When my treadmill died after ten years, I opted for an elliptical to replace it to be kinder to my now older knees - lol. The treadmill had helped me to lose 65 lbs in 4 months (going back 10 years) and it helped me keep most of it off for about eight years. I was very, very excited for the elliptical since so many people…

My local gym gave me one free class to see if I liked it... $78.88 up front plus a $10 card key so you can go 24/7 (the real bonus), includes aerobic classes & power classes (but they only have one class in the evenings a week), plus $10 month extra for spinning classes. After the $88.88 up front, it's $30-$40/month. I may…

I just bought the same monitor and have used it the past 4 days. It does seem to be pretty accurate, within 2-5 calories is what I've found. I haven't done any weight training wearing it yet, only cardio, so I'm very anxious to see how that works out tonight for me!

I have never been a vegetable eater (other than green beans) up until January of this year. My favorite is eggplant - the eggplant parmesan II from allrecipes is awesome; I use half the bread crumbs, bake it for 7 minutes each side (I first do the sweating process on the eggplant); I use a mixture of 2% and fat free…

Incredible!!! Congrats!!!

Yeah!!! Fantastic!!!! :)

CONGRATS- that's awesome! I have fibro also so I know what a struggle some days can be just with that. I have also been pushing myself and found I'm feeling sooo much better and the pain doesn't seem as bad. Still can't do an elliptical and some exercise are too much and will knock me down for a day. Nights are always bad…

Can't wait to try this!

Only five minutes ago just ordered the FT4 in pink from bodytronics.com for only $61.88, They have the FT7 for only $10 more but not sure if they ship to Canada.

For my snack at work or after dinner, I'll have 10 roasted peanuts or 8 frosted chex cereal or sometimes a skinny cow ice cream. I also love the splendfull peanut butter crunch bar, the skinny cow peanut butter bar, the kellogs chocalety chip protein bar or my favorite is Supreme protein peanut butter pretzel bar. I only…

Hi. I had just looked this up as I'm considering taking a class. I just did a google on Calories burned doing zumba. You can find all kinds of places to do the calculating. One is zumbacalories.com. You then just add it to mfp.
