Amazing progress! You look great! Congratulations on your success.

You look great! Congratulations on your accomplishment! You seem so much happier in the newer pics too. I have a 17 month old, and although I've only lost 38lbs, I can sure as heck run around after him easier! Good luck on the rest of your journey!

Hello! I'm new to this group, and fairly new to MFP. I started at 301lbs on January 17th of this year, logging calories according to the goals MFP gave me, I believe it was around 1800 or so calories a day, and exercising 6 days a week, mostly cardio. I'm currently down to 263lbs and recently started 30 Day Shred (doing…

What an amazing journey! You look great! Congratulations.

Congratulations!! What an amazing achievement, and inspirational too!

Great achievement! You look wonderful, and your little girl is a doll. I wish you the best of luck in your future!

I drink it when I get thirsty. Simple. Also before a meal I drink at least a glass, normally two, and I find that I don't eat as much.

You look great! What a kick *kitten* birthday present! Congratulations, and I wish you continued success!

Amazing weight loss! Good luck on the rest of your journey, you can do it!

Congratulations!! You even look happier in your most recent pictures! Good luck on the rest of your journey, you've done a kick *kitten* job so far!

Loved loved loved the "Kids' Book" one! That site was effing hilarious.

Congratulations!! Your weight loss is motivating for me and I graduated from high school 10 years ago! =) Lovely picture, and your dress is gorgeous!

You are inspirational! Congratulations on your success!!

Go to zumbacalories.com and they have a calculator on there based on weight, length of workout, and intensity.

Congratulations! 70 pounds lost is an awesome milestone to reach!

Unfortunately this is what happens when there is an incredibly large and diverse group of people. Not everyone was taught to respect others, and some who are taught respect still go on to criticize and be rude. You just have to find supportive friends and ignore the jerks!

20 pounds is a great feat to accomplish! Be proud of yourself! Congratulations =)

Congratulations on your success!

The article references 'attachment parenting,' which is the method the parents chose to follow to raise their child. Why tear someone down for doing something mothers have done for ages? I don't get all the negativity... I had my son via c-section 17 months ago, and only breastfed for 7 days, that's it, before my incision…

I started my weight loss journey at 301lbs on January 17th of this year, and I'm down to 265 as of this morning. I workout 6 days a week and am motivated to be around for my son's life, and getting out of plus size clothes isn't ever a bad thing! =)

Wow. The people on this website are really supportive of other members. Now I am assuming that every person negatively replying to the original poster has never made a spelling or grammar mistake in their lives, am I correct? Because this is how things are portrayed. Seriously, get a life, or come up with something…

I cried. A lot. LoL Seriously though, I decided I couldn't live the way I was anymore. I had to change and there was no other option.

I started on the elliptical machine (pushed myself and did 30min a day then started circuit training with 5min sprinting on the machine and 5min strength training=60min total) and of course walking whenever and wherever I could. Then I incorporated the Zumba Exhilarate DVDs, which I LOVE, and recently a Tae Bo cardio DVD.…

This! I have seen so many rude comments on a site that is supposedly here for "helping" each other. Not everyone is like this, obviously, but why deal with people who would rather criticize than help? I have done well on my own and I am definitely not ashamed in any way of what I eat or that I exercise 6 days a week. If I…

Okay, sorry for the mistake. It is circuit training that I do with the elliptical. And it is a 5 minute sprint, burning at least 70 calories in 5 minutes (this is what my elliptical machine and my hrm say) isn't running to me. But everyone has their own opinion. Regardless, do what you're comfortable with OP!

High Intensity Interval Training. I will sprint for 5 minutes on the elliptical, then do strength training for 5 minutes with resistance bands or weights, then sprint for 5 minutes, then do push ups and crunches for 5, etc. etc. I do an hour total, so 30 minutes total on the elliptical and 30 doing strength and…

I have the Zumba Exhilarate DVD set, I also do Tae Bo DVD workouts (old and new stuff). I have lost weight mixing those with walking and HIIT on my elliptical machine, but I still have about 70-80 pounds to go! The workouts are structured, but not too difficult. Pilates is great too!!

I have the Exhilarate DVD set, and I manually entered each DVD into the database under cardiovascular then used my heart rate monitor to input the calories burned! Or you can go to zumbacalories.com and they have a calculator as well. I hope this helped!

I log everything, regardless of what it is or how many calories are involved. I don't have cheat days, it was my birthday this past Tuesday and I still stayed under my calories, it was close because of the half a brownie sundae, but still. LoL I find lower calorie ways to get my chocolate or sugar so I don't have the…

I have the Zumba: Exhilarate DVD set, and I LOVE it. 7 DVDs, most with the option to turn on or off comments and instructions from the instructors. The Rush one is 23 minutes and great for people with limited time. Or the Exhilarate, the full 60min workout, is great too. And another plus, none of the instructors are…
