Got mine a couple days ago and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it... Especially like how it tracks my sleep patterns and the fact that it connects to MFP is so cool! Worth every penny.

You're inspiring... and you both look great! I'm now following your blog. Gotta try that spaghetti squash with creamy avocado sauce. Sounds YUMMY!

Take a look at the picture of those 2 beautiful kids. You want to be around to watch them grow up. You want to be a good example to them. You want to be able to keep up with them. That's the point! You can do this. The soreness will fade. It's just because you're just getting started again. Take it one day at a time. Don't…

Weighing yourself every day won't really help and can make things more frustrating. Make sure you are weighing yourself at the same day/time each week, wearing the same clothes (or none), etc.. I find that first thing in the morning after I use the bathroom is the best time for me. Our weight fluctuates throughout the day…

Ditto again!

Drink lots of water and definitely watch your sodium intake. You can turn on sodium in your Food Diary by going to Settings, Diary Settings, and change one of the nutrients tracked to Sodium. I was shocked at how much sodium I was taking in just with the foods I ate, not counting any salt I added at the table. Once I…

That sounds delicious and very low in sodium which is great for me. Thanks! I'll have to try it.

You might want to try turning on sodium in your food diary. You will probably be shocked at how much sodium you actually eat a day. Once I started watching my sodium intake, I really noticed a difference.

Sounds good, but how much sodium? I really have to watch mine and generally the packaged taco stuff is loaded with it.

This is so true... stay away from processed/canned/fast foods... and also make sure you watch your sodium and drink PLENTY of water.

I'm loving Zumba for the Wii... Able to do it at home, it's an awesome workout, and it's FUN!! Seen some definite results.

The reduced sodium ones aren't worth it either. It think it's just about 200 mg less that the regular. I've been trying to convince my Mom (who has diabetes & high blood pressure) of that. Remember these terms: Sodium Free - The product contains no more than 5 millgrams of sodium in each serving. Very Low Sodium - The…

Just remember.... you didn't put the weight on overnight, it will not come off overnight, at least not in a healthy way. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you need to not only exercise, but also change the way you eat. Stay away from pre-packaged/processed/fast foods. Stay with whole grains, fresh fruits/veggies,…

Without being able to see you diary, I can't comment specifically, but just remember, that it's not just staying within your calories, but what those calories consist of. Try to stay away from processed/canned/packaged and fast foods and stick with fresh fruits/veggies, good carbs, proteins, dairy. Remember a 100 calorie…

I chop up a little red pepper, red onion and mushrooms. Spray the pan with Pam, add some garlic and saute garlic & veggies a few minutes, add 1 beaten egg and mix till cooked, top with shredded swiss. Add a little cilantro, hot sauce or salsa. Sometimes I eat just like that, or I'll put it in a wrap. Delicious!!!

I saw their story on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I have signed their pledge and will never text & drive. It's just not worth it. Please everyone, don't become a statistic. DNT TXT N DRV

lol... I got the Ruby Tuesday one too :-) I agree, I just ignore the ads. I love this site and so glad it's free!

Sounds delic... Will have to try these.

I love my Zumba. Highly recommended. It's such a fun workout. The 45 minutes goes by so quickly.

Thanks! Don't have time to read all the posts now, but will do so later.

Great post. I use a lot of these, but gonna bump it so I can check out the rest later. Thanks!

Don't think of this as a diet, but as a lifestyle change. You'll probably lose weight on a diet, but if you don't change the way you are eating, as soon as you stop "dieting" you'll gain it all back and probably more. Just as important as the calories you intake is what those calories consist of. Stay away from…

Thank you... A very balanced post.

It all depends on what your limit is, how far under your limit you are most days, and what the calories you are eating in those 3 meals consist of. If you're limit is 1,200 calories and most days you go several hundred calories under, you can mess up your metabolism and yes, hinder your weight loss. Since I can't see your…

That is my biggest gripe with Just Dance 2 is the waiting and selecting songs. I usually did just the amount of time. Too hard to keep track and add all the songs together. I wish there was a way in the Just Sweat mode to program in the songs you want to do and they just run one right after the other. I recently got Zumba…

This sounds good... Will have to try. Thanks!

Did a copy/paste on the links... Great job!!! Keep it up!

@pammilou When I was diagnosed with pre-hypertension, I thought just laying off the salt shaker would be good too... Boy was I wrong. There is sodium in everything - and sometimes LOTS of it. When I turned on sodium tracking in MFP, I was shocked. Yes, cutting down will make you lose some water weight, but it also allows…
