Hi ladies ( a year later:) My name is Angie also and I am a long time (been inactive for more months than I care to admit) MFPer. I nave a 3 year old and an 8 month old! i have used the excuse of having the baby not to lose the last 15 pounds I've been carrying. My goal is health first, not the scale, and to stop sweet…

Thank you for sharing this; such a powerful journey!

This was great to read and thank you for your words:)

BUMP for later! I LOVE THE LISTS:) Will end up taking this grocery shopping with me;)

I know the feeling:( I will lose about 6 or so and then snack so bad, I gain it back. I have noticed that I am still struggling with the all or nothing mentality (since I "messed up" today, I might as well eat whatever) and that has been hurting me lately. I have been using the MFP site more often to read the success…

Hi ladies!! I am a Zumba instructor and I wear a HRM to more accurately check my calories burned. I can only speak for myself, but I burn WAY more than this calculator estimates. I have noticed my HRM being a little high, but for the most part its accurate. For the record, my CW is 125 and I am 5'3". In my class last…

bump!!!!

I JUST bought the Polar as well (FT40) I LOVE it. I used to have the MIO, because I didn't want to wear a heart rate strap, but it was AWFUL!!! I did a lot of research and have been so happy with the purchase. It really helps to know how much your body is burning, and it was affordable (compared to others). HIGHLY…

When I first "restarted" on MFP, this was similar to my post, but had little luck finding amazing woman in my situation! I am so happy to see that you have put yourself out there and are wanting to kick this in the toosh! Feel free to add me:)

Love that!!! What a great NSV....vicki's secret may be calling your name!

Couldn't agree with this more! I have failed attempts in the past, but it wasn't until I added friends (and was willing to put myself out there) that I really found success:)

I definitely try not to eat before an am cardio workout because it kills my stomach. If it is in the afternoon, then I eat a few hours before and immediately after. I may suggest seeing what is best for your body; some people have to eat or their blood sugar drops and they get queasy or lightheaded. I have heard once that…

bump: so many great foods!

I completely agree! Doughnuts would have to be the #1 with Little Debbie following in close behind...little bi@$&!!!:tongue:

I, too, am not only an avid fan, but also an instructor! (I am a little biased, I know). I LOVE ZUMBA and I really do get a GREAT workout! I am 127lbs and stand about 5'3 and even teaching I burn around 500 calories a class! I do think the teacher can make or break a class, so if you don't like it, PLEASE try another…

I'm eating toostie roll midgees as I type this at work! My place always has some pastry or another, so work is definitely hard for me!!

Bump! Amazing:)

*Bump! Love this, great ideas:)

RB!!! Welcome and if you need another SD MFP friend, feel free to add!!!:)
