With Zone I now realize that I was previously eating incorrect portions. Zone is great if you are already eating pretty healthy, but you want to refine how much you are eating. On Zone, I learned that I didn't need as much protein, fats, or carbs to succeed in my workouts/everyday life. It has now been a week (as of…

I just started Zone last Thursday, already seeing results. It is definitely not the easiest transition, but if you are already eating the right foods, it helps. I have always been so frustrated that I eat so many raw foods, salads, lean proteins, etc, and I have a very hard time losing weight. My BMR is over 2200 calories,…

My name is hannah. Recently married, and recently gained 30 lbs. Looking to lose all 30 yesterday, but I will settle for 8 in august. I crossfit a lot, and try to eat clean, but every three days seem to manage to mess up my progress. One step forward, one step back. I look forward to being part of a motivating and…

I started doing vanilla protein with frozen mango, and it is thick like a milkshake for a 3rd of the calories... just a tip ;)

My best advice is to log it either way. Even when you are way off track, write it down. Keep the record. Learn from mistakes.

My victory- Making it to my 5th session on Saturday. You gotz to be crazy to keep coming back :)

The underarmour sports bras are the ONLY way to go. They almost never go on sale, but they are worth the $50 investment. I teach zumba and need something to help with the bouncing! They are the perfect amount of support and still comfortable.

Phphphphph I am bad at this lol

Don't do this or the freaking tape worm diet. Oh my. BOTTOM LINE: There are no short cuts in weight loss. It has to be a lifestyle change. Neither the HCG or any Parasite Diet will give you this.

Great job, very inspiring!

Great challenge, seriously exactly what I needed!

LET HIM GO. Perhaps he was CLOSE to your Mr. Right so it feels hard, but he is NOT your Mr. Right. Pray.

MFP is harsh on the sugar and sodium intakes. It seems that if you eat 4 servings of fruit and 1 serving of carbs you are at double your intake already. Don't measure it :) Life should be more sweet than that...

My wedding is in September :) Looks like we both have fast-approaching goal dates, and we both have 4 months to finish this in. I am teaching like 7 hours in the next 3 days (Zumba and Boot camp classes at the gym), so I think I can start Insanity on Monday the 15th ( you start with the "fitness test"). Then I will go for…

LOL I stopped looking at sugar and sodium because it is so depressing. I eat a lot of fruit and a lot of soup, so I would be over my limit every single day. I decided there are better fields to focus on, Carbs/Protein/Fiber. If you are eating the right sugars you should be happy :) Certainly no one should feel guilty for…

Accepted :) Have you thought that perhaps to break up the boredom of a monotonous workout, that people like us (that get bored and quit) should do insanity every other day rather than every day? It would take 4 months to get through the regiment, but it might be more sustainable that way...what do you think?

We should be friends, I lost 40 lbs 2 years ago and then plateaud. I kept telling myself that maintaining was enough of a success, even though my goal weight is still 30 lbs away. I have been thinking about doing insanity as well, I have it and everything, just need to carve out the time. I am a zumba instructor so I feel…

20 to go! SW: 222 CW: 178 GW: 159 :)

I love the "downsides" they really cracked me up :)

WOW what a bunch of cynics! I also hold dear to more old fashion values. Although infidelity has been historically documented, there was much more of a stigma, which is what the initial post was about.

Just remember that if you do go with a scale, your body weight can fluxuate by up to 5 lbs in any given day. Think about the weight of all of the water you consume, heavy foods that are still healthy like veggies, etc. If you do get a scale, it can be quite addicting and you will find yourself (like me) weighing yourself…

I think my wedding will be somewhere during the summer, but we have still not been able to nail down a date. It will be small small small, so we are ok with only 6 months to plan. We are more focused on throwing a fantastic reception than having a decked out ceremony.

I teach ZUMBA!!!!! :) LA Fitness in Washington and I love it!!

Not to say that isn't a huge accomplishment, just be careful that you practice sustainable habits in your weight loss :) It would be a pity to lose this weight but not build the habits you need to keep it off. If you are disciplined enough to lose this 40, then I think you are disciplined enough to keep it off if you set…

I agree

congrats girl!!! you look AMAZING

A closet thrill seeker?

A mommy

OMG I cannot STAND those hot dog burps. They are the NASTIEST thing on the planet. I work at Costco and I hate the smell.
