I will join you! I had started this at the beginning of the year, swearing off regular sodas entirely and limiting myself to one diet drink each week. I made it 2 months before falling off the wagon and drinking a regular soda. I'll join you and try to stay focused this time. No sodas at all! I'll send you a friend request…

I make a chicken dish about 5 times a week. These are our family favorites (the calorie content is relatively low depending upon accessories): 1) Lemon Pepper Chicken - cut a breast in half and sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning over both sides.

I just had Pizza Hut on Sunday for my "splurge day." I chose a Pepperoni Personal Pan 6" pizza and a side salad. The 6" personal pan pizza's only have from 550-610 calories depending upon toppings. It satisfied my craving for pizza and kept me under my calorie goal for the day!

I also have a sweet tooth. For me, my weakness is chocolate. For roughly 98 calories, you can have a S'More using 1 Large Marshmallow, 2 Honey Graham crackers, and 2 small pieces of Hershey's chocolate. That's my go to for a filling chocoloate dessert.

I wasn't aware that Zumba made a wii program. That's cool! For those of you who have tried it, would you recommend the program on the wii or the actual dvd's? Also, can a person with absolutely no rhythm be able to do Zumba? :)
