That's awesome. I love Zumba!!!! It is fun and burn lots of calories, keep it up~ I am trying to start running as well, cardio is my weakness and running is what I hate the most, but I think I will push myself and try to run for as long as i can. Do you run outdoors or on a treadmill?

Hello, Welcome to MFP. You are on the right track as you are ready to take action which is the first step. There is a tons of info available on this site that can help you. Do you have a goal of how much you want to lose in a month? I think you should start with small goals like that to keep you going and motivated. Any…

It's a brain trick. Whenever you say no to your brain, it wants it even more. You don't have to give up those foods, just eat them in moderation. Have 1 slice of pizza instead of half of the pizza, have a burger once in a while. The key is to not completely cut out the foods you are used to from the get go, it's a long…

Hi Heather, Take a deep breath and relax :) Looks like you are eating healthy so stress is your worse enemy when you are trying to lose weight , it increases the amount of cortisol your body produces, and limits ur body's ability to convert sugars into energy. Give yourself time to unplug and unwind every day. If you don't…

Water retention, bloating, hormonal changes, ect. Pretty normal,you will lose it when it's over!

Just try very simple recipes, some of them just require you to mix a few ingredients and put them in the oven. Cooking is not rocket science, all you have to do is practice. It might not turn out well the first time, but then you learn from your mistakes and know what you need to do differently the next time and then you…

This!!!!! briefs are smaller :) You look great, awesome job!

Just beautiful & I love the hair!

Congrats, you look great!

Thank you for sharing your success. You inspire me and give me motivation~ Congrats !!

Hey, I thought everybody's goal was to be healthy, but if you want to be unhealthy more power to you! Nowhere in JM's article does it say to cut out lots of food. She clearly said " Cut out all processed foods", unless her entire diet consisted of processed food, I don't see how cutting processed foods can maker her…

Yes you can eat whatever you want and lose weight, you can eat Ice cream all day, get drunk every night and still lose weight. The difference is you won't be healthy. If you eat processed foods all day and are skinny , you are just that, a skinny unhealthy person. The person eating clean is healthier than you are…

I'd rather trust JM on this than you saying there is a lack of evidence , after all she does this for a living and has helped millions of people change their life and drop the weight, me included! Every muscle in my body and pound that I dropped was thanks to JM, so yeh I trust what she says. Will it work for everybody? Of…

The last 10 lbs are the hardest to lose. I recently read an article by Jillian Michaels and this is what she had to say about it: The Truth: The body struggles to hold on to that last bit of fat for survival purposes, so while it is tough to lose the last five to 10 pounds, it’s definitely doable. You know what I like to…

That's wise :) I sticked to 4 TB yesterday, let's see if I can do better today

Never had pB pie, that sounds yummy. Enjoy :)

So far, I've had 1 tablespoon and a half of PB today, but I know I will probably have 2 more and cap it at that ! Yesterday was a bad day :(

So, can I go have my PB now? LOL. Seriously though, I know that I am an emotional eater, I am trying to get better at it. Just started reading the JM book, it is going to take time for me to get there but i am working on it. Now, what do you think the max of PB should be per day if you're not getting a lot of fat from…

I agree that I could have a compulsive eating disorder but I don't think it is making me sick, right now it is more of an emotional attachment, brain craving ecT, that is why i used the word "withdrawal" which can also men emotional detachment. I think my brain is focusing on PB and by me trying to resist it, it is making…

Just because less than 20% of men who struggle with eating disorders seek help doesn't mean that more men than women have eating disorders, and do you really think that the majority of women who suffer from ED seek help, seriously? but Okay,you win...there are more men than women who suffer from eating disorders, now let's…

Not true. If you read what I wrote, i clearly said you are free to disagree, you just don't have to be rude about it. We can all agree to disagree without name callings or ridiculing someone

Just ignore the negativity. I think everyone should stop making fun of what Nicole said about the relationship between gender and food. If you think that has zero validity, I couldn't disagree more. Men and Women have a very different relationship with food, there is a reason why eating disorders are more prominent in…

I will get a food scale,lots of people have recommended it. I used to do very well when I was logging daily, I have to return to that. Seeing the actual numbers helps a lot. Congrats on learning to be this disciplined, I know it is hard work!

I will use it on my oatmeal for Bfast, I think it will be less noticeable that way, I couldn't find the regular PB2, thats why i got the chocolate flavor, but i will check again. Thanks

Uphill battle is the word. Congrats on the 50lbs+ loss, that takes dedication!

Your first paragraph is totally me, that's what I do with everything till I find something else. No I don't have a food scale actually, i guesstimate a lot when it comes to portions/calories. Thanks for your post, I agree with everything you said, I Need to make changes and stop binging!

True. The key being moderation which my brain knows ughhhhhh. I need to get out of this mess I created

I heard about that 2, I am not diabetic, but between sugar and fat, what's the worse poison? :)
