I had the same problem in our office. There are 11 ladies here and 3 or 4 have been supportive from day one. Others don't care either way but there are 3 of them that actually did set out to either sabotage or just be mean with teasing. Like suddenly bringing in my favorite candy, leaving a bag of it on my end of the table…

I haven't done it on a video game, but I go to classes and our instructor says there is no wrong way to do it.... you do the best you can and eventually it all comes together and you get the basic moves and can start adding in harder things you struggled with in the beginning... as long as your heart rate is up and you are…

How about making a plan of how you and your bf plan to deal with this financially to show them it won't be a burden on them and then sit down and tell them together, but definitely you need to tell them. If they recently mentioned it to you (before you actually found out).. they already know. I knew with my daughter before…

You need to get those treats out of your house, office, etc. If it's a vending machine at work then you need to not take money with you, etc... whatever you need to do.. replace them with healthier choices. I totally cleaned out our cabinets of everything bad that my hubby or I liked (left the kid snacks we didn't care…

Huge Zumba fan here too... I started mid January and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! Great cardio along with a lot of muscle toning once you start getting really into the moves.... not too hard to learn but burns a load of calories each class...

237 ml in a cup

Just remember.. my instructor says you get out of zumba what you are willing to put in.... you can really work the moves or just barely do them.. it will show in how you do and in your muscle tone.... if it's something you can get lower on or higher on... do it and push for more and harder workouts... I've seen people that…

I started eating healthy Jan 1st. I just couldn't stand the treadmill and it was too icy/snowy to get out and walk so I took a Zumba class mid Jan and I loved it. I go 3 times a week and it's my main exercise. I do strength training 1 day a week and I walk a few days a week on my 30 min lunch. Otherwise Zumba has been it…

we weigh on Monday mornings... we were supposed to only do Mondays but once in a while I just want to see if the week is progressing at all and I sneak a peek.. but it doesn't count no matter how good it is... and like a previous poster said, one of the reasons we picked Monday was so that we didn't over do it on the…

I plan our family menu from payday to payday.. so 2 weeks at a time. If we have something higher in sodium, we have it a day or two after our weekly weigh in so that we can get rid of the sodium before we weigh next. Daily, I plug in my meals and snacks I know I am having (usually I know snacks in advance on days I work)…

that's what I do... take my own air popped :)

Sometimes they notice and are afraid to say anything. Too many people hear "Wow you've lost weight" as "Geeze you used to be fat" and so people become afraid to mention it unless they know you are trying. I had a conversation a couple of weeks ago with my instructor at the gym because my son's baseball schedule was…

I am in the minority here and would like to not get slammed on.. but for now eating them back does not work for me. First off, I started at 286 and currently at 228.6. With the weight and heart rate I burn more calories than would be humanly possible to eat back. My doc says I am not in danger of starvation mode at my…

ZUMBA!!!

I sit in front of a computer at work all day too. And I started with 2 or 3 days a week and started losing weight. Now I am up to 5 days a week just because I found out that I enjoy taking care of my body and I am still losing weight. I think it's good to have a day or two of resting a week, but that's just my own personal…

I start drinking a little more water and make sure I do lots of exercise, especially abs from 2 days before I start until it's done. I haven't noticed a problem with weight gain doing this, but I weigh on Monday mornings and my cycle is normally Wed-Sat so I think I might not be seeing it because of my choice of weigh in…

I watched it online this morning as our weather stations overrode it too

me too

I like to slice it the long way, sprinkle with olive oil (or the spray olive oil) add some mrs. dash or whatever seasoning you like and throw it on the grill or in the oven under the broiler.

we switched to Kraft Fat Free Mayo

I would take my phone and just tell people what I am doing and if they don't like it too bad... it's your health, not theirs.. and each time you stop eating to enter food it slows you down a little more so that you don't end up eating too fast and filling up too many plates like your co-workers might do. Personally I am…

I skipped my two faves this year ... No reese's PB eggs... No marshmallow peeps.... went with grilled chicken for dinner and healthy veggies for sides.... but I felt Easter needed dessert and it was the yummiest thing I had and felt like I was "cheating"... I simply did sliced strawberries with splenda and sugar free cool…

How about a frozen cold pack in a small lunch box size cooler? That should keep anything that needs to be refrigerated cold all day. Then you can heat it up and not worry about the tiny fridge, freezer, etc. Good luck :)

I say "one might not hurt, but then again why take chances and obviously something made me fat"

I think it depends on WHAT you are eating.. if you are under your net calories but you are eating chips, cookies, chocolate then you are probably not getting enough nutrition...but if you are under and you are eating chicken, turkey, broccoli, carrots, etc then if you are truly full and not hungry and are not feeling…

In late 2001/early 2002 I was attending Weight Watchers and was doing really well. I got down to a size 14 in ladies jeans. My soon to be father-in-law said to me "Don't lose anymore weight or Jeremy won't want you anymore he's always liked big women." I was shocked and my brain says to me "not true" but shortly after that…

In the end you are responsible for YOU.. and if they want your company this badly then they will understand whatever you choose to bring for yourself. We have office lunch every other month... I just fix something at home and sit with them while they eat what was ordered and I eat my food from home... they give me a hard…

I love to go to Zumba class at the gym.

Somedays when I start feeling like I am not doing good enough I think I have lost 55 pounds and my grandchildren only weigh 42 (first grade) and 34 (three years) so I have lost more weight than a small child.... that really puts it in perspective quickly too :)

me too...
