you look amazing!!

I bought a few new things after I lost about 30 lbs. I just got two pairs of shorts, a pair of jeans and a few shirts. I figure this would be enough to help me get by for the next 10 or 15 lbs lost.

I've been through a few sessions now and it has helped a ton!!

You look amazing!! Congrats on your success!!

chobani!!

GREAT analogy!! bump

Lookin' good!! Amazing transformation!!

You'll be able to lose weight on phentermine but it's very likely that you'll gain it all back plus more. You should be learning about health and fitness so that your weight loss will last. I took phentermine a couple of years ago and lost 20 lbs.. Then I gained 40 lbs because I didn't take the time to understand my body…

I do not agree with this. Zumba can be quite difficult. What makes it "easy" is the fact that you're dancing and having fun. I am completely out of breath when I finish my Zumba work out routine. That being said, I do think it's a good idea to throw in other types of work outs.

I LOVE Zumba! I have lost 31 lbs using mostly Zumba and some aerobics. These are my favorite work out routines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvQX3GOKCIs (31 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDgbBdS9W54 (50 min w/ a few water breaks)

It IS okay to eat Taco Bell.. as long as you don't go overboard. My personal favorite has always been the beefy crunch burrito.. or the cheesy potatoes!!

I will keep you updated!

I hated them at first too but now I LOVE them! I can still only do "girl" push ups on my knees but they are getting much easier to do and it makes me feel accomplished that I can do them!

Thanks for replying! I have a feeling I'll need my therapist to use a different technique than moving her fingers back and forth.. I have trouble concentrating at times. Did she say how many sessions you would need or does it differ from person to person?

GEEEEZ!

No one :(

WOW just WOW!!!

Thanks everyone!! I have a much better understanding now :)

So if I were to eat a 20% deficit I would set my calorie goal at about 1500 (I burn about 300 calories during my workouts) and eat about 1800ish calories..?

2263... that seems like A LOT though.

Thanks for the reminder!!

my first bump!!

I have also taken Phentermine and it worked really well BUT once I stopped taking it I gained back the 20 lbs I had lost PLUS 20 more!

I LOVE Zumba! There are days when I just don't feel like working out and that's when I pop in my Zumba dvd. It's a great workout but I don't feel like I'm working out. I feel like I'm in a dance class.

THIS!!

this sounds sooo yummy!!

AMAZING!! Congrats!!

Your friends should NEVER make fun of you.. sounds like they might not be very good friends. I started my weight loss journey weighing 180 with my goal weight at 140.. It's hard.. but you can't focus on what you used to look like, all you can do is focus on your goal and do your best every single day! AND it definitely…

I feel so guilty that probably about 75% of the things I eat are prepackaged...

English Muffin Pizza's!! I made them last night for the first time.. under 300 calories!!
