Down one pound...woo hoo! Glad to see the scale moving now...in the right direction too! I changed up my working out schedule to five days this past week, so I'm gonna shoot for the same next week. Challenge Goal Weight (147): Weight Category: Reduce 6/9: 162.5 6/16: 162.5 6/23: 161.5 6/30: 7/7: <<<mini goal weight…

I love me some Zumba! I have Wii Zumba and it's great! Just a 20 minute work out on there can burn over 400 calories for me! It's so worth it!
-
I also use Crystal Light as my water...I water it down with an extra quart of water as well. My husband likes Mio better than Crystal Light, but I think it's more the fact that he can make it as flavorful or as weak as he wants. Sometimes he will drink teh Crystal light how I have it in the pitcher, and other times he will…

I have it and love it...it's great for me to do when they don't have a class at my gym that I can take...in just the 20 minute work out on the Wii, I can burn about 400 calories+....it's a hard workout, but fun because it's like dancing! :) Zumba is my love when it comes to exercising...if it weren't around, I wouldn't be…

I have a Timex HRM with a chest strap that isn't any more uncomfortable than a wired bra being on you during a workout. It really doesn't bother me. The TImex one will calculate calories burned, average heart rate, peak heart rate, length of activity and I even turned off the sound on mine. I don't want to hear the beeping…

If you're counting 100 calories for vitamins/supplements and it makes you go over your calorie intake for the day, just exercise quick to burn off that 100 calories. If you look up ways online to burn 100 calories, you'll find lots of ideas. Vacuuming your house for 25 minutes or 15 minutes of walking at a brisk pace will…

I started C25K as well and into the 2nd week I couldn't step on my right leg due to pain in my shin. My doctor said it was the tendon in the calf area that I keep pulling. I thought, Great, I wanted to do running in hopes to kick out of my plateau and change things up, but now I pull a tendon in my leg and also have…

I do medical transcription from home, so I can certainly appreciate being bound to the desk and chair all day! I'm not sure how much of a calorie burn it would be, but you could try lifting some small weights (2 or 5 lb.) while sitting in the chair. There are also those stretch bands you can use to stretch your legs. Also,…

How is your carb intake? I saw my doctor last week adn told him I was on a little plateau and he told me an easy way to kick that is to limit carbs. It's been hard for me...I love my carbs! :(
-
Great job! It definitely shows in your stomach area. Plateaus suck, but at least you're losing inches...that's still encouraging! Keep going...you're doing great!
-
I definitely see a difference...good for you! It's great when all your hard work is paying off isn't it? Great job!
-
Make sure you take your measurements as well! You might not see the scale move if you're building muscle, but you can have your measurements change still, which helps you from getting discouraged! I've been on here since january and it's the only thing that has worked for me! It's great to have the encouragement of others,…

I do because I look horrible with my makeup off (red, blotchy,etc.), but after I'm done with my workout I go right home and wash my face really good. I break out pretty easily, but even by doing this I haven't had many problems.

Does the app have you input your age, weight, and that you're a female?

I have a Timex one that has a chest strap and tracks calories burned and you can get it on Amazon for about $40...works great and the price is fantastic!
-
Not only the motivation is great, but just hearing other ideas on exercise, food, etc....it's all great to further educate me on a healthy lifestyle!
-
I hate to exercise! LOL I have a treadmill right in my living room and would FORCE myself to hop on it and I would watch my DVR'd programs for an hour. Then I slacked off.... I started doing Zumba and I love, love, love it! It feels like I'm dancing for an hour and not exercising and the music is just great...you can't…

Great job! :)

Someone needs to totally start making a GOOD sports bra for those of us well endowed! I feel like I have tried most and a friend of mine (who is bigger than me) has bought all of the expensive ones and they still aren't very good and holding her in! I found one that I liked that did okay at holding me in, but it's the…

You are gorgeous!!! You're doing fantastic!

While I have only lost 11 pounds since joining in middle of January, I also battled with migraines and cluster headaches which didn't help the exercise and eating situation! Anyways, I constantly quick diets and exercise programs all too quick because I don't see any weight loss in the beginning. Being able to see how many…

I highly suggest getting a heart rate monitor for this! I take classes two to four times a week and have also done the Wii. While all of them are pretty darn close in calories burned for me, MFP was averaging pretty low for me. I think I was using the cardio, fast dance work out and it was saying I burned about 400 - 600…

You guys are fantastic...thanks so much for the feedback! I just downloaded the Bluefin app for my phone, but I was also given another great piece of information from jaitken_22 and I wanted to share it with others in case it could work for you or another friend! She found a site that has podcasts to download for FREE:…

Yay! Thanks everyone...I am loving this feedback and am excited now to see if I can become a runner finally!!! :)
-
I love it! I've been doing it since middle of January and I've lost 6.5 inches from my waist and 2.5 inches from my hips. Plus, I burn 928 calories in 60 minutes of Zumba! It's great and the only exercise I love!
-
I have been in love with Zumba since December! It's a huge calorie burner and it's so much fun once you learn the steps and are comfortable with it...if you have a dance background (which I certainly DO NOT!) then you'll pick it all up easier than I did I'm sure. They have DVD's, you can check Zumba.com for a class in your…

I have a Timex model that is a version just below this model. I absolutely love it and will never exercise without one again! The estimates on here were way low for me, so it made me feel WAY more confident after exercising to know I was burning more calories than estimated! Have fun with it and happy early birthday! :)
-
Great job! You are much stronger than I am! lol

Ahhh...we sound like we are in the same club! lol I have two boys, 7 and 5. One is in school all day, the other I am driving to preschool three days out of the week. I do medical transcription from home, so I'm sitting on my butt all day! I also sell jewelry on the side to get out of the house and talk to adults once in a…
