I'm not sure about the price. My Zumba classes were free for the whole community because the guy running it had a day job and he was just leading it for fun. I'm pretty uncoordinated and I did misstep a few times but no one really cares and I'm sure they probably don't even notice. It's all for fun and exercise. Our Zumba…

Every Wednesday or Thursday morning after I go to the bathroom. I read somewhere that Wednesday morning is the best time to weigh yourself because your "weekend calories" have been worked off and you haven't started fluctuating during the day yet. I wish I could remember the source but it was probably a 2005 issue of Cosmo…

YOU CAN DO IT, BRAH!!! I HAVE FAITH IN YOU!!! YOU ROCK DAT BIKINI! I have 4 lbs. left to go myself. I started taking pictures of my progress every Friday and weighing myself on Wednesdays to keep me motivated. The differences are always slight each week but enough to keep me going!

WOW! You look amazing! What an inspiration!

Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Riviera Paradise". IDKY but that one always makes me tear up.

Haha! This. I'll have to remember that.

I was always in the minority on this. I was never a person that needed control over something or anything like that. It really was/is about being skinny for me.

I knew someone who was married to (what she says) an abusive husband, but when she got divorced she kept the last name because this particular last name she thought made her sound like a "gift from G-d". The woman was kinda crazy.

Justin Timberlake music. :embarassed:

They're popsicles, the kind in the slender plastic bag and have little otter characters on them. We had them all the time when I grew up on the west coast but I can't find them in the south or east sides of the US.

I did that. I used to meet with a nutritionist and a counselor once and twice a week, respectively. To be honest I'm doing a lot better now than I was with the nutritionist at the time.

Actually, I am. After I've logged my exercise I check to see how many calories I have left to consume on MFP. If it's too low and I get that red "ZOMG YOU HAVEN'T EATEN ENOUGH CALORIES!" warning, I go find something to eat so I make my calories for the day.

No professional team. Never been rehab'd. Struggled with weight since I was 10, have history of starving and severe calorie restriction (my worst was 500 cals a day). I'm 5'9, large frame, my healthy range is between 170 and 149 lbs. Currently I'm 164 and goal is 149 or 150. I do 35 mins of pilates every weekday and ride…

It sounded to me (I can't say for sure, so I don't really know) that he knows the behaviour is similar to an addict, in that you can't force the one with the disorder to get help. He might be thinking if you only throw up once a week you'll eventually get weaned out of it. If he's as sweet as you say he is, he thinks his…

I do reward myself sometimes. When I was losing most of my weight last year I promised myself that if I got down to 165 by the time I went home from college I would splurge and buy a Fred Perry dress I really wanted. I did start to slack off a little toward the end of the year so by the time school ended I was at 167 or…

I have a Specialized Ariel that I absolutely love. It's a splurge at around $600 give or take but I've used it for everything (fitness, transportation...even a basket for my groceries! :D) in the past 6 years and it's been extremely good to me. I got a nice wide gel seat for it and it was able to hold me at my heaviest.…

It took me a YEAR to lose 30! Do not give up! You will hate yourself when a year goes by and you start thinking about how much you COULD have weighed IF you hadn't quit!
