Very informative. Thank you! :flowerforyou:

Plus, don't they work out like 4-6 hours or more a day? I've seen people lose 7lbs the first week then 0-2 the next week. That's usually expelling water when you drink 8+ glasses a day. It's great to have a goal, but please don't set yourself up for failure. How will you feel / react if you DON'T lose 4-5lbs per week. Will…

I was sick for over a week, but I wanted to finish with a ride! Final:

I was sick for over a week last month so I missed my goal, but I'm on for 75 miles this month!

bump - and - thank you! :flowerforyou:

I Love Zumba! I loved it so much when I was working out a few years ago, but then got pregnant and stopped working out. About 6 months ago I bought the DVD's on QVC and I haven't hardly touched it. BUT, I've since joined the gym and I love to take the classes. I go 2-3x per week with a friend. I still don't know the…

I got derailed for a week since I've had the flu, but will still see how much I can accomplish this month!

Does she do other things? Does she do the laundry, cook, go grocery shopping? Maybe do a chore list, decide who does what chore, then set a timer for 15 minutes and see how much you both can get accomplished. It's certainly more fun to work on something together and most everyone can do something for 15 minutes. Maybe then…

Bump to read later

I don't see that you've logged any exercise or water the past few days. Are you exercising and therefore earning extra calories? Are you drinking enough water? Are you cutting out the foods you love and then binging on occasion? Is the powder your drinking enough for you? And make sure you log everything you eat so you can…

Lots of suggestions on this thread http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1015570-do-you-shop-at-trader-joe-s although not all healthy :)

Sooooo very true! Congratulations on your success! I am really looking forward to hitting ONEderland myself.

ZORB!!! My Mom still HAS my Atari 2600! LMAO

My best friends oldest daughter is in college. My brother in law just commented on going to his 25th HS reunion this past weekend... and I realized mine should be NEXT YEAR. .... When did Motley Crue become Classic Rock .... Gumballs were a penny. LOL I can't wait to go back and read all these. :laugh:

On the days I take a morning class or I do strength training, I don't generally eat first because I don't have time, but I come home and immediately either make a protein smoothie or eggs. Smoothie with whey protein, vanilla soy milk, frozen fruit (cherries & strawberries or frozen banana with 1-2 T peanut butter) and I…

I've been sick for a few days. We all have obstacles. I find myself really missing my gym time and that's a good thing. I'm not dropping the weight as fast as I thought I would (according to the scale) but I know I have been consistently logging my food and going to the gym. I have noticed muscle development. So I took…

Where is everyone with large cup sizes buying bras? That's always been an issue for me. Since having a baby I was last measured at 40G. I need to be re-measured because I need a new bra.

I was always overweight as a kid. I know I was overweight even in the 4th grade. Around 10, I had a medical condition where I was on steroids (Prednisone) for about a year, so I gained a lot at that age. My stepdad was a cook. When we ate broccoli, it was served with mayonnaise for dipping. Brussel sprouts were slathered…

Feel free to add me. I'm 40-ish and I've made several smaller goals to make the larger overall weightloss number seem more achievable (baby steps!)! I've lost 10lbs so far and I finally weigh less than what I weighed when I got pregnant 4 years ago. I hope to lose 35-45 more by Christmas. I joined the gym, I take classes…

I'm a couple years older with a 3 yr old and I completely understand needing and wanting more energy for the little ball of energy! Sending friend request!

I agree with Gigs that I make room in my calories for snacks/sweets. :) Now if you're saying you snack on chips, cookies and candy all day, then plan ahead with healthier snacks and portion control. Fruit, veggies, carrots and hummus, fruit and yogurt or cottage cheese, no sugar added pudding cups, handful of almonds,…

Hi! Feel free to add me, too. :) I'm of similar age, similar weight and I have a 3 year old son!

Feel free to add me everyone!

I'm learning to love the gym. I'm taking several different classes. Take a class with no expectations. I tried Pilates, and I can't do much yet because I have no core strength yet. I'll try that again in a few months. I LOVE Zumba, but each instructor is different (as with most classes). We have four different instructors,…

I agree with previous poster: I try really, really hard not to eat right before bed... but sometimes it happens. Outside of their suggestions, you can also eat a small amount of almonds (like 10) and drink a huge glass of water. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I've heard if you do that and wait 15 minutes, most of…

Feel free to add me!
