Exactly "ak_in_ak"! I don't know why people are always looking for that "miracle pill or diet" that they think will help them with weight-loss. I've been married for 16 years and have 2 boys. I was at my all time highest weight of 260lbs, about 2 years ago. I've lost on my "own" (no trainer, no gym, no dieting).....75lbs.…

I have it and I love it! I love Zumba anyway. Why "mdfeller" would say she wouldn't use it as a regular routine, I don't know. When I use it, I don't pay attention to the bar at the bottom for points. I don't use this as a game or to get the "high" score, I use it as a workout routine for that day and I log it as such.…

Well first of all, if they are true friends they will stick by you and be supportive NO MATTER WHAT! I suggest doing what Creiche said to do.....sit down with some or one on one with these friends of yours and tell them how you feel. They are probably just adjusting to your new lifestyle and maybe some of these friends…

GUM is my friend (LOL)! I keep gum with me at all times and everywhere I go. Like "Extra" gum. They come in all different flavors. When I get that sweet tooth coming on and I really want to reach for something sweet, I pop a stick of gum in my mouth and walk away. I'm a huge "sweets" person and love all things sweet. The…

Weigh-in in the morning and after you use the toilet. Also with no clothes on. It's the most accurate in the morning after your first pee or bowel (sorry for the TMI about the toilet, but it's true). Hope this helps!

I just bought Burn Fat Boost Metabolism from Jillian a couple weeks ago........and.........holy crap!! It totally kicked my butt!! I hate it and I so love it at the same time! It's a hard workout man. I have 30 Day Shred as well and comparing the 2, Burn Fat Boost Metabolism is sooooo much harder. There is twice as much…

That's funny.....cause I've had a dream about her before too and not in a sexual way. I dreamt I was trying out for the Biggest Loser. Jillian and I became really good friends in the dream too. LOL :))

Had no idea that they recorded 6 albums.....LOL!

Hannah is my favorite!

You should always strive to get atleast 1200 calories a day, especially if your a woman. Eating too few calories, under 1200, will send your body into starvation mode thus lowering your metabolism causing you to not lose weight at all and possibly start gaining weight. You don't have to eat your excercise calories back and…

Watch out for breads with HFC in it. I never realized it before, but it's in most breads. I don't really understand why they have to include HFC in bread. I choose breads now that include no HFC and taste great and taste the same to me as regular bread. I've also noticed that breads without HFC tend to last longer than…

Have it and I love it!!! I've never tried it on carpet, as I have hardwood floors. Though I can't imagine doing some of the dance steps on the carpet, some of the moves that you have to do might not be as smooth on carpet vs. hard floor. But I'm sure you'll figure something out. Just remember to always keep moving even…

I agree with the not weighing in everyday! Pick one day during the week as your weigh-in day and only weigh-in on the same day once a week. I don't understand why people do this to themselves, your just setting yourself up for stress and worry when you weigh in everyday. **Also weigh-in first thing in the morning and after…

I have both games, the Zumba fitness and the MIcheal Jackson Experience for the Wii. I love, love, love the Zumba fitness for the Wii. It's so AWESOME and fun to do. I highly recommend getting this game. You can choose your level of intensity for each Zumba class and it also has Zumba party which is fun. It also has…

That's awesome! I've been doing that too. You can go on any major restaurants website now and find the nutrition content for their food. When I know I'm gonna go out to eat somewhere, I always plan what I'm gonna eat now. It's very handy to have internet access for this reason. It's funny cause I will also look at what I…

You should buy and keep with you at all times....Extra Dessert Delights gum. It's sugarfree gum and it comes in 3 different flavors, Strawberry Shortcake, Key Lime Pie, and Mint Chocolate Chip. It actually tastes like having dessert without the guilt. My favorite is the Key Lime Pie. You can buy it in a 3 pack at Walmart…
-
That's awesome! I actually have the 30 day shred and have used it from time to time throughout the week using it only 1 or 2 days a week with other workouts like Zumba and the treadmill ect. but haven't strictly used it for 30 days. I might have to try using it more and see if I can get good results. I bought my 30 day…

Always once a week and on the same day every week. So pick a day any day, but weigh in again that same day next week and so on. And always first thing in the morning after you pee, it's the most accurate this way. I know some people on here like to weigh in everyday. That's just gonna drive you crazy. Your body weight…

That was just too funny! Thank you for that! :)

Yeah, I've tried writing everything down in a food journal by hand and it did get pretty old after awhile.....Until I heard about MFP from watching Good Morning America. Sounds like you've got a good solid head on your shoulders and are ready to work. It's hard work and that's no lie. Good Luck! I wish I could be a fly on…

Oh man! I almost pee'd myself reading these cards. Thanks for the link to these......totally worth the time reading the comments of each card. I needed the laugh, too! Thanks. I also forwarded the link to some of my friends to check it out as well. :)

Thanks for the address. This is so great! I didn't even know that they had something like this. Now that our house is healthy and we all eat healthy, I wasn't sure what to do with all the Halloween candy in the house. I'm so greatful because now it won't be such a cloud of temptation hanging over me and it won't be calling…

Yes! I am a HUGE Zumba LOVER!!! I do it 2 -3 times a week. It is soooooo much fun! It makes burning calories fun and easy!

I was under 200 lbs. when I had my first son 10 yrs. ago and had no problems conceiving him. In 2004 I got pregnant with my second son, but had to be put on a fertility drug to concieve him. After my first son I didn't lose the weight, I was at 230 lbs. Ever since having both of my kids my periods became irregular and…

Yes Erin is right! Fruit has natural sugar in it, not processesed sugar. Watch out for foods with processesd sugar in them. And the rule of thumb to always follow (if your watching your sugar) is Look At The Label......and don't buy it if any of the first three ingredients ends in "ose" (Fructose, Glucose, Dextrose). With…

My name is Amanda and I'm new here on MFP. I've been on here for almost a week. I'm from Saint Louis, MO. I started a life change almost 2 years ago and lost 60 lbs. Up until about a year ago, I got side tracked and lost my way a bit. Now... I'm in a good mindset and ready to get back to work and lose the last 50lbs. I…

And these people thinking about sharing it amongst other people......you really think that one slice is gonna fill you up and satisfy you? I could think of a lot better things that are more appealing to eat than one slice from this disgusting beast that BK calls food! I'm really disgusted by this.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Zumba dvd's! They are so much fun and it's more like dancing than working out, even if you have 2 left feet, it's still a lot of fun. LOL You also burn a lot of calories while doing these dvd's too, up to 1000!! I use them once or twice a week rotating out with the treadmill and other workout dvd's.…
