Besides the fact that my body loves to store carbs around my middle, I have to say that when I eat processed foods, sugar, enriched flour, etc...it causes my ATTITUDE to plummet....my friends and loved ones always ask if I've eaten those foods when I become moody!!! If I'm really conscious about avoiding refined carbs, I…

Woot Woot!!!! I did all 50!!!

Having the same issues...made the ticker but can't get it to "tick"...any advice would be great!!! Thanks!

I'm in!! New to this so...50 miles? Sounds good to me!!

I'm going to do the wall push ups because of a back injury...they are not as easy as one would think ;-) Great way to strengthen the chest without applying pressure to the spine!!!! Glad for this challenge today!!!!

Count me in!!!!!

Woo Hoo!!! I stayed within my sodium limits AND I burned over 4000 calories this week while ON VACATION!!! Thank God for good friends that like to exercise!!!!! Looking forward to week 2.

Stay off of refined carbs and sugar. That is, anything purchased in packaging like cans, boxes, or bags. Eat natural carbs like fruits and veggies. It's the refined stuff that can really slow you down plus it's not good for you.

This is fabulous! I can't wait until I can cut my size in half!!! I've got my eye on an orange jacket in my BFF's closet which is a 10....I'm claiming it as mine!!! LOL

Well, I only lost .1 lbs, but it's a loss just the same...must be all of the exercise. My birthday is tomorrow and I hope to go shopping and find smaller sizes too!!!!

This is off the WW topic but in regards to your eating lifestyle. I've been right where you are. Once you get off of processed food and break the addiction to carbs and additives, you will find it much easier to lose the weight and keep it off. I would recommend watching "Super Size Me" to help change your thinking about…

Get rid of carbs (rice, potatoes, bread, sugar, etc) and processed foods...you will eat more food but the weight will come off. Replace the unhealthy processed carbs with fruit because you'll probably have sugar withdrawals. Get rid of aspartame (artificial sweeteners in diet drinks/food) it causes weight gain around the…

I'll play along....sodium not a problem but 4000 calories a week? Now that's a challenge! I average about 2500 a week, but I can do it.

Where can I buy the DVD's? Also, is it a realistic exercise plan....that is can people at any level do it? I have absolutely NO butt...since I've lost 79 lbs I can feel the bones through against a hard chair now and it HURTS!!! I think my body would look much more balanced and my back wouldn't look at wide if I had a tush.…

I actually had the same problem with my elbow. It has taken awhile to recover from it. Now, instead of extending my elbow completely, I leave it slightly bent....don't lock it. I believe this is the proper way of using the weights (?). I would skip the exercises using the elbows and continue with the rest of the workout…

2nd week of Zumba and the weight is coming off again!!! Hurray!!!! NAME.............................................SW...................CW.....................lost this week/lost overall................ GW 00trayn…

You gotta remember that "women sizes" aka "plus sizes" are cut much larger than normal sizing. Don't let it discourage you. It's another marketing strategy to sell clothing.

I just started in the past couple of weeks. I am totally hooked and have taken every class that's been offered!!!! I took my waist measurement today because my clothes were loose (I took measurements 2 weeks ago). Can you believe I've lost almost an inch from my waist?!?!!? It's all that belly movement!!!! LOL So for me,…

As in all things, modify to your specific needs.

What a fun idea!

Woot Woot!!!! Making up for lost time!!!! Count me in Part 4. This has been a great motivator for me!!! NAME.............................................SW...................CW.....................lost this week/lost overall................ GW 00trayn…

Don't replace problem foods with a diet version. I wrote a blog entry with tips. I've lost 73 pounds by cutting it out of my diet.

Lay off refined carbs which will make you crave more food. Eat lots of protein, fresh veggies, and fruit. Anything with refrined flour or sugar (bread, sodas, candy, quick food) are quick burning....they don't stick with you.

Today is a good day!!!! I'm finally off my month long plateau AND I hit my goal of 199!!!! Also, I took my measurements. I've lost 2 inches from my neck, 5 inches from my waist, and 2.5 inches from my hips!!! Thanks to all of my MFP pals for such wonderful support! Now I need to set a new goal weight!!!!…
