My weakness is sweets. Especially baked goods: pies, cakes, cupcakes, etc. Yummy!

I don't know that you ever get a point where you "want" to stop eating all the bad stuff. I think you just have to decide that eating healthy is what you're going to do and just do it. I know that's way easier said than done because I still crave the bad stuff. I've been on MFP for about 3 months now and have been trying…

I will definitely take some pictures and see if I notice a difference that way. Thank you all so much for the kind replies, I really appreciate them! :)

Congratulations!! Your after pic is amazing!! Great job!

I used to drink coffee, but went to green tea to cut out the sweetener & creamer. It upset my stomach a little, but nothing this. I was using green tea bags, Lipton, I think.

I've tried Zumba several times and really enjoyed it. I'm actually trying to work the class back into my schedule. If you like to dance, you'll love it. Don't worry about looking dumb, if it was anything like the class I took there were lots of people who didn't know all the moves. And if you get tired don't be afraid to…

I'm 5' 4 1/2" and I would love to be 120. But I think 130-135 is more realistic.

I'm really bad about just sitting around eating junk when I'm at home and I'm bored. And sugary treats used to get me all the time. Losing weight has definitely helped me be motivated not to eat so much junk. And I've found if I want something sweet black or red grapes hit the spot most of the time.

I don't call them "cheat days". I'm not on a diet, I'm changing my eating habits. Most days I make good, healthy choices. But there are some days when I don't make the best choices. I don't beat myself up about it or feel guilty because I refuse to say there are things that I absolutely cannot have. The moment I do that is…

That's a good question. I'm going to start taking a core class and am not sure what to put it under either. There is one that's for "Sit-Ups, vigorous". Might be as close as they have.

I did Tae-Bo for at least a year and lost quite a bit of weight. And, no, I never looked anything like Billy Blanks. I would love to look like the girls on the video though, they were very lean and toned.

I'm in a very similar boat that you are, wakie27. I only joined about 2 1/2 months ago and started out great. Lost 15 pounds within the first 3-4 weeks. However, in the last couple of weeks I've gained back several pounds. I've been making bad food choices as well. I'm not sure what the answer is, but I think your idea of…

I can relate to all those out there that have been diagnosed with depression. I suffer from depression and have been on medication for years. I recently have started to really try to change my lifestyle: working out more, eating better. It has really helped. I take a weight training class a couple of times a week. I also…

I just joined too and could definitely use the motivation! I want to lose 50 by Christmas.
