No one must watch my attempts at Zumba! I am soooo uncoordinated that I rarely can follow the dancers. So I pretty much just keep moving and try and to do some of the moves, even though I do them nowhere near the way they're supposed to be done! The dog even barks at me....I look that bad.

Starting Weight: 168 Last Week: 163.3 Current Weight: 160.8 Weight Lost This Week: 2.5 Weight Lost Overall: 7.2 Can't wait to get into the 150's!

I would like to join. Any team will do.

I love the mental picture I have of you crossing over to the Misses side and leaving W's in the dust!

Arrrrgggh! You look awesome!

Looking good! And rockin' the scarf!

so many recipes,so little time!

Excellent job, and hubby too!

Looking good! And you can see in the current photo how happy you are.

At least it was your MOTHER and not your Mother-in-Law that said that.

I need to become coordinated enough to do this!

Self medicate

Zone Defense (can you tell I've got football on my mind)

END ZONE!

True to the edible kind....false to the kind in my email The next person lets his/her dog sleep in bed with them

True, but it's not true that men never make passes... next person hardly ever makes his/her bed

TRUE: must be that low-fat vanilla cappucino I had (120 calories btw) Next person has never been to Disney World.

I'm 48 and have one son in college (just took him back today :( ) and one a senior in high school. I feel similarly, and I know I'm going to miss my kiddos so much when they permanently leave the nest! Need to start making adjustments in how dh and I relate to one another I think, cause for years conversations have…

Wow! Thanks for sharing. You look great! My "date nights" with dh are similar to what yours were. I like your ideas of adding more activity into our outings. Slow start, but we went bowling the other day, and didn't partake in ANY of the typical bowling alley junkie foods! Jo

I seriously got goosebumps seeing your progress! I dont know you at all, but i feel so happy for you and your family.

Must've been some fairy dust on your shoes! Good going! Jo

SW: 168 1/14/13 164.4 Today: 163.3 Down almost 5, though most of that first week's weight loss was likely due to my giving up my daily Mountain Dew

Size doesn't matter! (ha ha, sorry had to say it!)

I'm 5'5" and my goal is 135. I reached that in 2007 and it was a good weight for my frame. Unfortunately, I'm now 164, so I've got to lose the 30 lbs again. Jo

I'm 48, so it better not be too late! Feel free to add me (and anyone else in this thread feel free. I'd especially like to find friends that are also just on the brink of becoming empty nesters. I have one boy in college and one a senior in high school. ) Jo

You go girls! That's such a great story of friendship and success! Jo

1/6/2013 - 168 1/13/2013 - 164.4 Down 4 pounds. Jo

bumping because I had a similar question

I think I'd use the restaurant's number. Since database entries are done "Wiki" style, so it's possible that it is incorrect. Jo

I'm similarly confused by the different numbers. I did read a lot of the "newbie posts" and I do understand about why you should eat back your exercise calories. What I don't understand is why there is such a difference in calories required calculations from the MFP site and the Fat2Fit site. I really want to get that…
