im up for it!

the best way to tell is to take a picture every 10 pounds or so. i have noticed a minor difference after almost 20 pounds. i have noticed that i may not be losing as much weight a week but the inches are coming off.

recipes are pretty easily found in the food and nutrition forum on here! if you need some ideas, i use allrecipes.com and just alter the recipes to be healthy or better fit to my liking! i have a few if you would like. just message me!

you can do it!

I used fat free italian dressing but the vegetable oil spread probably did not make it so good.

Don't be too upset about what society thinks about obese. I am 5'6" and now 219 pounds and considered obese. I know I am not fat or huge, just chunky.

straight and to the point! I love it!

I have Zumba dvds at home! I absolutely love them! It is a fun way to workout.

I have a Polar FT4 and it works great! Check out ebay for some cheaper prices! I got mine for $50!

you are walking up the stairs at work, in your dress pants that using formed a muffin top, now have to be held up in the back so that the person behind you doesn't get mooned!

at first I classified Zumba as "dancing, aerobic", then i found out how much calories burned that said and added it to my exercises. now i have a heart rate monitor and log it by that.

I cook the chicken on a lil george foreman for about 20 minutes.

i have a friend in OK where he is 25 and his girl is 40-something, late 40s. on the other hand, my boyfriend is 6 months older than me. that's it. i think it is ur own preference. I'm 24 and my cut-off for dating someone is 30. I don't really know why but that's just my own standards I have set for myself.

I never really liked onions or spinach before until I found out how healthy they are. I learned to tolerate them and eventually became used to them. I don't mind eating them now.

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? I stayed under my calorie goal for this entire week! Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Didn't set one What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Didn't have any sweets! What would I have done differently? I don't think I would do anything differently. What is today's…

photoshop or paint.net software can combine them to make one photo

Holy crap! That's amazing! You look great!

Good luck and I hope you are successful!

thanks guys and gals for helping those who are thinking..."WOW! I wonder if I will ever get there!"

I make a beef stew in the crockpot. I get some stew meat and brown it. Add carrots, sweet potatoes, and broccoli. Once all that is done, pour a thing of beef broth (enough to cover the veggies and meat). Then to thicken up the juice, add flour, not a whole lot. Let this cook on low overnight and serve. It is fantastic!

Awesome! I'm going through the same thing. I put a blog up about it! Keep it up!

i have a sansa mp3 player. Mine is outdated and still works amazingly. It is a sansa e260! I love it! They allow music or radio if you want it. You can put videos or pictures on there also!

mmm i'm gonna have to try some of these! thanks guys and girls!

You are such a sweetheart...to everyone who has posted! You are amazing! Thank you for being you!

Oh no. It's quite normal to occur! lol
