Hi My name is Vilma and I live in MN...I'm 57,married with three grown kids. I love to cook, dance and anything fun and exciting! Love to travel as well. My big food challenges are pasta (LOVE) and bread (double LOVE) so I've become best friends with spaghetti squash :). I'm very disciplined about exercising ( interval…

I only weigh in once a week. Best of luck to you, this si a great program...I've tried WW and Jenny Craig and this works much better for me with great results,

Definitely thre's truth to that...anything that is high in sugar will turn into fat

I hurt my right knee in the spring due to a dance aerobic exercise that required jumping jacks...it was painful and I had to have a cortisone shot and therapy to get back into the swing of things...I'm short and overweight and since then I don't jump, I do a lot more strength exercises and interval training using the…

YOU ROCK!

No "cheat" days for me...however, I committed to this plan with the understanding that I was going to lose weight eating the things I love and driking my vino---I still do this but loggin my food has helped me plan for those indulgences without cheating.

I also purchased a set of aqua bells ( you fill them with water) to use for my weight sets...

I travel for work quite a bit...especially the first trimester of the year, when I'm gone most of the time...here are some things I implemented this year ( I didn't join MFP until a couple of months ago) that helped me maintain weight. In the 2011 season I gained 10 lbs and this year I didn't gain anything: 1. Brought my…

I LOVE Wine so I make sure I save some calories to enjoy it during the weekends. Mostly I love Pinot grigio, especially Santa Margarita. Lately I have also enjoyed Malbec, but I'm not picky!

Don't do beer but love my wine!

I'm in and will bring the hubby!

I hear you, I work events so some days I have really long days and the stress adds to that and I can eat like a 10' man ( I'm a 5' woman :)) One of the things that helps is drinking water with lemon or crystal light...It fills me up...I always try to plan long days in advance and leaving about 400 calories for…

You can add me if you wish, it's great to talk to people that are in the same boat and getting advice and comments helps a lot!

I'm 5' and started this 51 days ago have lost 6 lbs want to lose another 14...feel free to add me! I do interval training, Tracy Anderson, turbo sculpt and kettlebell ( alternate this so I'm not doing the same thing every day and to avoid bulking) The key is to stick to exercise and learn to love it...it does take a…

I bought one from Adidas at Nordstrom's it's fabulous!

I'm in Shakopee, feel free to add me as a friend!

I most definitely agree with you and we do not hand out candy in Halloween, we give out crayons or pencils. it is ridiculous how they get these kids to eat all that crap!

I also stopped taking the medication to see if it would help me lose weight and I actually gained weight without it...

Thank you for posting this since this has been a concern for me...I will try to get the non generic and see if it is better

Hola! Que bueno saber que nos podemos comunicar en espanol. Yo soy de Puerto Rico pero vivo en MN desde 1988, aqui entrando en la batalla de perder peso!

Hi I just joined and would love to meet for dinner, when is the next one?

You are so right...I do need a couple of glasses of vino a week. my job is really stressful and it does help me to unwind but I have to fit the wine in my calorie intake..I've cut down my vino intake significantly...at 57, I feel I need to learn how to live with the things I enjoy but definitely in moderation!

Hi Everyone! I have logged in for about 40 days and not losing as much as I would like but logging everything I eat and my exercise really helps, if you have any good tips/ideas please send them my way!

Hi Everyone...I joined in May, long ways to go but need motivation since I've tried Jenny Craig 3x, Weight Watchers 2x and this program seems to work best for me since I travel a lot with my job and this keeps me connected plus I find logging everything helps a lot...please feel free to add me, Need to lose some weight for…

I like Panera, Subway, Good Earth, Kona Grill but I'm also learning that I can go to any restaurant and order the right things and enjoy myself. If I have special dinner plans I plan my food accordingly and defintely leave room for a glass or two of wine :)
