My Zumba dvds arrived today! I'm home from school w/my youngest son. I skimmed through all of them and I like how there are so many routines to choose from. The only thing that has disappointed me was the LIVE Zumba, the instructors didn't have wireless mics so you couldn't hear them. Otherwise, I think it will be a great…

Great! Can't wait until the Fed-Ex guy drops it off this week!

I used to be a Diet-Coke-Aholic but I've been drinking mostly water lately (and a glass of wine or two on the weekends). I saw a doctor on tv discussing the whole thing and she said a Coke Zero or Diet Coke once a week is not bad. It's drinking it every day that produces the bad side effects. I guess we just have to keep…

has anyone tried the Jillian Michaels protein powder? if so, any suggestions on flavor (choc. vs. van.) and how to make a good smoothie with it?

One of the things that I feel like keeps on track/held accountable is logging in my food in the morning. That way I can plan on my glass of wine and not go over my limit. This also keeps me to the one or if I want 2, I swap it for a snack/dessert. I also log in my exercise so I know I can't miss Zumba or getting my Wii…

We are starting a "9 Weeks 'Til Spring Break Challenge" at my school, sponsored by the YMCA. So, I'm going to have a glass of red wine while making dinner in the evenings and not go overboard as I really want to lose 10 pounds by summer (its true that the last 10 is always the hardest!). The Y has also asked me to consider…

Stupid question, I'm sure but what does it mean when someone posts "bump"?

Kim- Everybody got an A (Just kidding!).:wink:

I LOVE this game! I play with my kids all of the time. They get mad because I always beat them. I got the Wii Zumba but I don't like it as much as JD2. Has anyone tried the Michael Jackson for Wii? It looks fun.

Started with a couple of glasses of wine while grading papers and ended up finishing the whole bottle. Instead of eating one slice of pizza, ate 2. So, I was up 2 pounds this morning. I'm not going to beat myself up about it but I have to be real about the fact that too much of anything is going to keep me from reaching my…

Honestly, Zumba is so much fun and addicting! I recommend everyone try it once if you have the opportunity. I hate Jogging too!

ooops!

I'm almost glad the football season is over because I always feel heavier on Monday after beer (a couple of Miller Chills) and football snacks. :drinker:

I've been drinking one glass of wine while I make dinner/lunches for the 4 kids for the next day. Tonight, I'll drink a couple of glasses while I clean the house. Zumba class at the YMCA 3 days a week has been fun but I'm going to try to do Zumba on Wii the other days.

Has anyone tried the SkinnyGirl Margarita by Bethany from RHW? I got a bottle and I thought it was gross. It is supposed to be a super light drink choice. Maybe if I squeeze a real lime into it?

Thanks!

I am a Twilight Mom for sure! My daughters and I read the books. I cant decide if I should go to blockbuster at midnight Friday or Walmart at 6:30am Saturday. I am afraid it will be sold out. I just read Eclipse for the 3rd time!

Looks like we are going to be home from school for the rest of the week due to the bizzard. I've been getting my exercise by shoveling w/husband and oldest son. Also, sleigh riding and building igloos w/the rest of the gang. I've also logged on tons of time on the Wii Fit Plus and cleaned the heck out of my house. THe hard…

Just got finished bike riding around the island!

Hi everyone! I am 41, mom of 4, wife and 5th grade teacher. With little time to work out, I was eating very healthy for about 3 weeks and lost 4 lbs. I swear in one weekend of football parties and eating out at my kids lacrosse games, I gained it back. What the heck? Is my metabolism that lame now? No more crying. I'm…

I do Zumba at the YMCA once a week. Thanks for posting the online class- I can work out at home on days that I can't get to the Y. It is such a fun work out!

Thanks for welcoming me to the site!
