I could also use some motivation. With the help of MFP a few years ago, I lost almost 40 pounds but have since gained most of it back. :( I'd love to get back on track, but it's hard with me having PCOS. I noticed that after losing weight my PCOS got better, but since I'm gaining weight it's getting worse now. I can't seem…

I've had the barbecue sauce. It was nasty.

Never had any creepy friend requests or messages. I feel so unwanted now. :(

It's a good workout but if you don't like it maybe you need something more fun in order to stick with it. I'm about to start Tae Bo, which looks pretty hardcore and takes about an hour. I like 30DS because it's under 30 minutes. Maybe try one of Jillian's other videos or look into videos by other trainers that offer a…

Feel free to add me, too. I'm on every day and have been for about 190 days now. :)

Has your doctor suggested metformin? It has worked wonders for me in terms of weight loss. I just need to remember to keep my carbs in check.

Feel free to add me. : )

I know! Can't wait. I'm a little embarrassed about dancing in front of people (I'm a horrible dancer) so I like doing Zumba at home. That way I can do the best I can and have fun without worrying about someone laughing at me. Maybe one day I'll get up the courage to take a class. :)

Since I'm just using them during regular Zumba, could that be why I don't notice a difference in my arms?
-
It does feel like I'm exerting more, just not toning up. I guess I'll keep using them for the exertion and do regular strength training for toning.
-
Yeah, the toning sticks kinda look dumb but since my doctor told me I should add strength to my exercise routine, and I had these puny little hand weights lying around, I thought I would give using the weights a try.
-
Thanks! I'm going to start adding strength in the evenings then. :)

You're doing an amazing job and you're such an inspiration to me. :)

When I was a teen up until my 20s I used to get a huge migraine every month with intense vomiting, to the point where I couldn't even take a sip of water. Now that I'm in my 30s I might get two huge ones (usually barometric-related) a year. I used to take Imitrex when they were more regular. Now I just take Excedrin…

I rate myself a 2 lookswise :/ But I'm a pretty cool person, so in that department I give myself a 10.

I'd love to lose at least 40 more by Christmas.

Someone once asked me, " So, what route did you take to losing weight?" I told him, "The eating better and exercising route." :) The other day a friend told me, "You don't look like you're losing weight. You just look like you're getting smaller." :/

Hola from El Paso! I have tons of family in San Antonio and I love it there.

Since March I've cut out a lot of processed food and simple carbs, and amped up my protein, fiber and veggie intake. First place I noticed a loss in inches was my butt. Sure, my belly started going down, but my butt is now almost non-existent. So I agree, there's no way to try and reduce inches in one area over another.…

A nice dress. I haven't worn a dress since I was in elementary school. I'm too insecure to wear one now.
-
Thanks for all the ideas, ladies! I can't wait to start freezing!

Oh mini meatloaves are a great idea, since I'm the only one who eats meatloaf! :)
-
I love meatloaf but the rest of my family doesn't.

Just keep moving. I started off walking 30 minutes a day, then gradually increased my time. My energy increased as well and I started doing more and more exercise like bicycling, strength training and Zumba for Wii. I noticed that with Zumba, the key is to just keep moving and not worry at first about whether or not you're…

I have all four wisdom teeth and have had no overcrowding, hygiene or pain issues. My dentist has told me he sees no reason to remove them.

Great job! Diabetes is a horrible and devastating disease. I hope my results are as good as yours when I see my doctor later this month!

I eat about 1,650 calories a day. On days I do lots of exercise, I try not to dip below 1,200 or I'll feel like crap the next day, but avoid eating back most of my exercise calories. I've lost 30 pounds since February, and most of the weight I lost in the beginning was just due to cutting out all the crap in my diet like…
