Good Luck! I also used weight watchers before and after my first pregnancy, and while I believe it works, there is very little difference between it and this site....with the exception of COST! (and counting points vs. calories). I love MFP and I know youll do great!!:flowerforyou:

While I agree the gym is not a necessity for everyone...it is for me...and more than just the gym: group classes... I stick with it more because I take classes with many of the same people everyday and we motivate each other. Everyone does it there own way, and (unfortunately bc I could find much more to do with the $$),…

[/quote] We know that she used to knock her kid out so she could party. We know that she didn't report her missing for a month. We know that she showed no emotion over the whole thing. We know that she lied to the police. We know the trunk of her car smelled like a dead body. That was enough to get her. These are facts,…

As much as it pains me to do so, I have to agree. Did she murder her daughter? HELL YES! Was there enough evidence provided by the prosecution to prove it? NO...but could that have something to do with the fact that she lied for 31 days and that was a critical time at the crime scene(s)? YES. She got herself a not guilty…

Mine is August 13th and I cant wait! My hubs and his sister did it last year and this year its a family affair! me, him, his brother and sister in law, and his sister and her boyfriend!....cant wait!

High Imact Aerobics works for me. I do want to get an HRM though....

I enter it as high impact aerobics bc I tend to do the more "advanced" moves (more hopping, bouncing, etc) and it comes pretty close to what others I take the class with (that are a similar size and movements as myself).

I do Zumba 3X a week to mix up my workouts and I LOVE IT....and Im a country music kinda girl (and a lil shy) so I didnt think Id enjoy it, but I am addicted! Its something you should try at least a few times to really get a feel for how much you like (or dont like) it. I enter my Zumba as high impact aerobics for my…

The chart I have seen gives the below numbers, but it also says...these are statistical averages and not absolutes. If you're muscular, the chart may not apply to you. (I feel like I do have a muscular build.) Height (Ft.& Inc.) Small Frame Medium Frame Large Frame 5'9" 129-142 139-153 149-170 5'10" 132-145 142-156 152-173…

This fits me to a T! When I was in high school, all the guys told me I had linebacker shoulders. :( Obviously, not my favorite memories of high school! I am 5'10" and also have man hands, like the above poster mentioned. Also, as someone else mentioned, as the weight came off, I realized my bones were not quite as big as I…

Hi! I love seeing the threads for tall women! :) I am 5'10 (Dr says 5'9 now, but I refuse to shrink!) I started at 230 and am down to 183-185...hoping for 175 eventually... I cant load the pics individually, but here is the link to my photobucket "Weight loss journey" album!…

Really? Wow? Ive been trying to make them smaller bc on my page the newer ones are enormous!!! Sorry....

bump LOVE THIS!

Thats fantastic! Thats my goal, too but Ive got a way to go...my PB right now is 34:36! You are awesome!

Made this tonight and it was FABULOUS!

Edited bc I cant read directions! & i was a teacher and that was my biggest pet peeve of my students!! 1. Things you pack in a hospital bag? Comfy jammies, undies, deodorant, baby outfit, toothbrush, glasses 2. Popular brands of diapers? Pampers, Huggies 3. Things you put in a diaper bag? WIpes, bottles, diapers, bibs,…

Sooooo....Im dying to know...did you LOVE it?

I forgot to add that I saw the most change in my core when I started adding Zumba and Pilates to my classes....I cant be sure which was more effective, but as a previous poster said, it is a lot of ab work in Zumba moves...

OH MY GOD, I LOVE ZUMBA! Its sooooo much fun and a fan-friggin-tastic workout at the same time! Everyone is right-it can be different depending on the instructor, but there are 3 different instructors at my local Y and they are all good....almost the same moves, but different songs. :) The repeat frequently and by the end…

thats a great idea! i should go to goodwill & get a pair of "motivation pants!" :happy:

OH MY GOODNESS! Love this video...just watched it and reposted it! Thank you!!!!!

I am having the same issues and I talked to my Dr at my last appt. She told me that even though a lot of times it is used an excuse by heavier people, muscle does weigh more than fat and I am developing muscle quickly now. She said I could try adjusting my calorie intake (I recently upped mine as well by changing my…

Weight Watchers has a Dark Chocolate Dulce de Leche bar that I would die for! They are A-MA-ZING and only 120 cals! I have one every night....
