I wasn't allowing myself a cheat day at all. But now that I've hit my goal weight I think that 1 day a week of treating myself will be okay. After all what's the point of working so hard if you can't relax and enjoy yourself once in a while!

Wow! Awesome everyone!

Thanks ladies! Congrats on the marathons and 1/2 marathons! I am still so nervous about it!

what kind do you buy? I buy the high fibre Mr.Pita brand and never have trouble with them... and i definitely do find that warming them up helps

I think that if you just did it for 1 week to shock your body and get past a plateau then it's okay. But I wouldn't do it for a long time.

That's awesome! What a great feeling!

I've never even had the guts to buy one!

My favorite pizza is hawaiin with shrimp on it from Boston Pizza...so I hope that the pinneapple thing is true..because the rest is so not good for you! haha

Whoever said would Tiger want his kids to see their heros act the way he did? Tiger is their father, and is now going to have to explain to them what he did when they get older....I think that is far worse

I'm not sure if anyone else watched his press conference last Monday (I did, my husband is huge into golf and I knew the Masters would be on all weekend). I really do believe that Tiger is genuinely sorry for what he did. He has stated that with all the fame and everyone putting him up on such a high petistal(sp) that he…

wish I did.. sorry :( Sounds like you do the same thing with your husband as I do with mine! He has bbq hamburgers, I have a bbq chicken breast on a whole wheat bun. It's a lot easier to make the adjustment then some people think :)

I drink red wine. I find that I drink way less of it than beer because the alcohol content is higher.

I dont know how to copy things into the blue box.. but I just wanted to add that my husband doesnt expect this from me at all.. He is at work until 5pm and I am home, So I cook, I really enjoy cooking. But on nights that I dont feel like doing it he has no problem coming home and throwing something in the oven. His father…

I don't try to change what my husband eats. If I were eating unhealthy things I wouldn't want him to nag at me about it, so I don't nag at him about it. I cook 3 different meals every night. 1 dinner that is on the healthier side and kid friendly for our 3 year old, something healthy and adult friendly for myself (chicken,…

I've found there to be a lot of younger people who have real body image issues trying to lose weight when they don't need to. Also..is there an age requirement on this site? I don't know if 15 year old girls should be on here, if they have a serious weight problem it is something that they should be talking to their…

I've read that eating frequent small meals helps reduce belly fat...also stay away from stuff like white flour, chocolate, pretty much any refined sugars

I've been noticing lately that I have hips! I used to be straight up and down because my "lovehandles" stuck out over my hips..I never thought I had hips! I used to be like this () and now I'm like this )( :happy:

foods like white breads have simple sugars in them which turn to fat.. I don't know what to tell you about how many carbs you should be eating.. but I know I can usually have 1 or 2 whole grain products a day and then use up the rest of my carbs by eating things like fruits and veggies..

Powerade-0

cardio cardio cardio! It will help you lose the fat and then all the toning you have been doing will start to show through since muscles are under fat it doesn't matter how much you try to tone them up until the fat over top of them is gone... Just try to do whatever you can to get your heart pumping and you sweating..run,…

Thanks a lot! I just found on the Zumba website that they offer instuctor certication classes in Ottawa...the basic 1 is like $220 and it is a 1 day class.. I'm going to have to try this out..If I like it enough it would be really easy to become an instructor!

Yes Ogdensburg is about 15 minutes away..the only problem is that my passport expired so I can't get across the border right now :( Is that where you go in Ogdensburg?

OMG awesome. I just found a class! It is in the next city over (only like a 15 minute drive) I messaged the intructor since it is at the YMCA and I am not a member.. I am hoping I can go and just pay for the class! Thanks Melanie!

Cool..I'll check it out right now!

HI! I just wanted to say congratulations on only having 2 lbs left! My goal is 130 as well, and seeing that you are almost there coming from 182 is giving me the hope that I need to keep going!!! I have never heard of Zumba until coming on this site.. I wish we had it where I live because everyone raves about it! Good luck…

Sorry.. I don't know how to do that or I would help you out :)

I'm from Canada and it definitely makes it easier to find the right item when it says (Canada) next to it! Thanks for doing that guys :)

omg that sounds so good! I love ricotta cheese! I would throw some thin tomato slices and some baby spinach leaves on mine!

have a huge grilled chicken salad...fill it up with as many veggies as you want. If you like beer I think Corona only has about 90 calories

the only thing I take is a couple of scoops of benefibre weight management because I find it hard to get in enough fibre just through food
