Wow, that's a huge difference for such a short time period! You're doing great!

Lol.. Yeah. I'm not going to FORCE myself down if I'm happy at 120 or 115. I just have been at 120 before, and wasn't happy. I've been happy with my muscle tone before at 120, but not with my fat content. That's why I'm assuming 110 would be good, but 115 might be too.. I won't know for sure till I get there. I was 125…

I carry a lot of weight at my hips and thighs. :(

wow, sounds like you know a good weight for you then! my bones are definitely way in there still when i'm at 130, unfortunately :( It's weird how different bodies of even the same height and similar weight can be. I have a super small frame, though, most of my family does.

Wow, AWESOME job!! :)

Thanks, I agree. My goal is 110-115, I, too am pretty small on top.. and my bones are pretty far under a layer of fat currently. Lol. I'm at the upper range for a healthy BMI right now, and I would like to be on the lower end. :) Congrats on what you've done so far! I can't wait till I'm there, too!!

That's a great idea! Thanks :)

Well, I like both.. They're good for different reasons. I think I like kinect better, because you don't need to use any controller. I use zumba for the kinect, and really enjoy it. It's the only exercise game I have for kinect so far, though.. because it's so new! Hope this helps some!

huge difference! great job!

hopefully that helps!

Healthy Life has some! They have super low cal ones (that have less fiber) and then a little more calorie ones that are high in fiber. Check it out. http://www.healthylifebread.com/

Great post! I have had the same problem my whole life.. intense charlie horses and tingling sensations... However, since I started Yaz birth control, the charlie horse part has mostly subsided! It has potassium in it, so I'm assuming that's why?! Lol Anyway, I don't like bananas that much, so for those of the rest of you…

Thanks! :)

4) If your daily calorie goal was set to 1200 by MFP, then another possibility is that you are not burning enough on a daily basis (normal daily calories burned) to SAFELY apply your chosen deficit. Example - a petite woman may only burn 1600 calories on a regular day, before exercise. If she wants to lose 2 lbs/week, a…

I'm pretty sure it's so they can make sure you're an accurate description. (it's not a fake, or someone else's ID, and that info is stored in the computer in case you're wanted). My weight on my Drivers License wasn't a lie at the time.. But I am 10 pounds over it right now. It will be nice when I'm at that weight, or even…

watch the amount of fruit and milk / yogurt you are eating. also, limit anything with processed sugar. a lot of people don't realize that there are so many grams of sugar in things like milk. take a look at your food diary, and see what you are spending a lot of your sugar calories on, and see which of those you can reduce…

Congrats! Can't wait to see!

For some people, it's harder to work through soreness (I am one of those people). Glutamine will help her do that. it's a natural amino acid that helps flush out the lactic acid creating the soreness. Maybe for you it's not hard to work through soreness, but I have seen several people slack off/give up (including myself in…

on top of drinking tons of water, if i were you, i'd start taking glutamine if this lifting class is going to stay a part of your routine. it will make your life a lot easier :) and a lot less sore! lol I would even maybe take one today... by tomorrow you should feel better. I definitely don't think lifting will hurt…

You also might have started to add lean muscle mass. Which means if you keep it up, you will either start to lose more weight, inches, or both. Make sure you are drinking enough water, getting enough calories, and keeping your sugar and sodium levels low, though. Don't give up... :)

I only have dinner left, and still have 13 of my 24 sugars available... but i limit skim milk and fruits. i worry more about vegetables, and don't eat a ton of fruit.. and i try to only have 8oz of milk a day, because a glass is actually about 16oz... it's up to you, you can opt to have more. but it is totally possible to…

This is me, too. My weight is only 135... but my body fat% is high, and heart attacks and stroke run in my family. Eek! Gotta get healthier!

I'm about your height, and I'm aiming for around 110 pounds... If you are still unhappy with the way your body looks, instead of focusing on "dieting" maybe eat normally and healthily, but make sure you are using weights to train. That will tone your body up, make you happy, and rev up your metabolism. If you don't eat…

check your park district. i take zumba through my park district and for 8 weeks it's only 29 bucks. cheaper than the dvds. and lots of fun.

I was 140 at the beginning of this challenge. Now, 136.5. By Christmas, hopefully, 120.

Can I join late? my Christmas goal is in my signature...

yay. welcome. i just joined today, too.
