I would love to implement something like that in my workplace. Now I have to get up and do jumping jacks to see how many i can do. brb

Hi sweetie, I totally agree that you should seek counseling. It's nothing to be ashamed of, and he/she will not judge you. I don't have the same issues you have, but I have dealt with depression. The best thing I did was to tell my doctor and start seeing a therapist. There's such a stigma associated with seeing a…

If you really want to go....prune juice....warmed. It may not taste good, but you will go.

You can do it, lady!!! Stay strong and know that there will be good days and bad. Don't give up on those bad days, just push a little harder. You have my support and my prayers.

Welcome, and congratulations on your decision to become healthier!

I look forward to not stressing about whether I will need the seatbelt extension when I fly.

When I am hungry, I get weak and cranky. :explode: My employees and coworkers appreciate when I don't get that way. So, I keep oatmeal, fiber plus bars, reduced fat peanut butter crackers, popcorn, cereal, and various 100 calorie snacks in my office. I also have a mini fridge, so I keep fruit, cheese sticks, and fat free…

Hi Claire! Welcome to MFP.

Welcome!!

I borrowed the dvd's from a friend and fell in love with Zumba. I just ordered my own set of dvds yesterday. I can't wait to receive them! I've yet to try a live class, but I plan to in the very near future. I work at a University that offers the classes twice a week.

Welcome!

I had a partial hysterectomy in March 2010, and have gained about 20+ pounds since. I was already overweight, so I didn't need any extra. Now I'm working to lose all of it. Good luck to you!

Thx 4 sharing!

I do the 2 mile walk that has the interval training mixed in. I log it under a Walking - brisk walk for 36 mins (length of dvd), and then just put the squats, lunges, bicep curls, etc under my strength training.

Welcome to MFP! Good luck!

If you can, get your workout in first thing in the morning. That way, you've got it done before anything else "comes up" that might stop you from doing it later. Also, once you've had your workout, you might be more hesitant to eat something unhealthy because you don't want to ruin your progress. That's what works for me…

Hi Liz!

I Love Love Love Nutty Bars! They are indeed the spawn of satan.

LOL! That's a great hiding place from the kiddies. Luckily, I'm single with no children, so I only have to hide food from myself.

Thanks for sharing this.

Welcome!

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Welcome! Keep that positive attitude!
