Spin is awesome. Been going for 6 months now. Your girls parts will forgive you after about a week ; )

LOL I almost posted an IDENTICAL post.. IDENTICAL. I pulled a muscle in the same spot - 5 days now. Are we supposed to workout through it? I think I did it doing oblique work Monday last week

Im exactly the same. Since my heaviest weight, Iv lost of 40 lbs now, but I still feel like Im fat. I dont see me as thin, even though my 8's are lose now. I dunno. I hope I know when enough is enough.

I havent tried Zumba toning yet - I may try that one tomorrow. :)

lol you dont "build over fat".. muscle is muscle is muscle. Its under the layer of fat. You will build muscle underneath then as you burn off and lose fat the little beauties reveal themselves. Your body is layered skin, fat, muscle.

Also, I marinate steaks and chicken in newmans own balsimic vinagarette salad dressing.

not really a marinade - but I found a new way i like to cook chicken I take a whole chicken, stuff it with 1 lemon chopped in quarters and a couple sprigs of fresh rosemary. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil, sea salt and cracked pepper, but in a large baking dish with sweet potatoes and baby carrots. Chop another lemon…

I just did it for the first time this week - (I bought the DVDs!) After learning the steps and doing the 20 minute express it was ALOT of fun. I loved the music, and the 20 minute express workout was actually easier than learning the basics (learning the basics seemed more complicated LOL) ANYWAY - THE NEXT DAY i DID THE…

Spin for sure! I noticed a BIG difference after about 12 weeks of spin class (its only 2x a week - which is a bummer!)

I saw him on Doc Oz - looked quite interesting!!

I do the same thing, and I try to do extra walking or something lol

new small victory (i think)

yum, i love coconut curry - what brings in the curry flavor? Im gonna try this :)

LOL eating the same thing for breakfast every day can kill you? Well dang, thats a new one! I think it just like what you said, people are hidden behind PC's and dont feel they have to be accountable for what they say. Working with the public has made me open my eyes to that there are entitled, nasty, just generally mean,…

You look fabulous! You look 20 yrs younger!!!!!!

WALLLLLLKKKKKKKKKK. Alot! I went to my most fave all inclusive in Mexico in Dec (See pic .. lol) and actually LOST a pound cause we walked the beach so much. I ate and drank a tonnnnnnnnn too :)

Go over in the protein - good for building muscles. :) Dont go over in fat, cal and sugar - but if you log sugar in say a sweet potato, corn and carrots - you will prob go over. Most people on here say do not log "natural" sugars that occur in fruits and veggies - but do log processed sugars such as ice cream and cookies.

I think about it in terms of a work out ... if I eat that, it will take me an hour and fifteen minutes of walking to burn it. If I decide its worth it, I eat it, and do my time. A few weeks ago, my girlfriend, who is convinced Ive turned anorexic lol, bakes her most decadent chocolate sin cake, to make me eat it.. hellllll…

I glanced at these at Target today.. hmmmm might have to take the plunge.. lol

Mmmmm fondue I do when I have guests over - decadent!! Shrimp Scampi actually crossed my mind last night - yum.. or crab alfredo.. oh boy!!!

I think about it alot - I dont want to repeat the same mistakes. I hope to teach them by good example. I was hoping for some good feedback to see what I havent thought about yet!!

oh yea, they will shrink alright. I went from a 38 DD at my highest weight of 189 and Im a 32 large C now. Just wish they were perky again LOL

I bet the culprit is sodium :) Drink a buch of green tea today! If I eat alot of salt I try to drink a bunch of green tea to help flush it out.

Yep this site is so awesome.. Ive always tried to "guesstimate" what I was eating vs birning and boy was I way off.. hence the 7 yrs of being at about the same weight. Ive been here about a month and a half maybe and lost 9 lbs. Welcome to MFP!

yummmm thanks!!

I did the South Beach diet a few yrs back and lost 30 lbs in 2 months. I certainly felt so much better doing it. Now I follow what would probably be considered phase 3 of the SB diet for th emost part. I eat few carbs and limit simple sugars. If I eat a bread I try to stick to just 1 serving a day, and make it a whole…

I guess I didnt REALLY expect to lose a cup size so quickly lol

I am trying Reveal from complete nutrition - and and had it for a month - no difference. Nada. Zip. Im dissapointed lol

I ure didnt feel like going last nght to spin class, and even still halfway through I was in my funk. But when we finished, and I could feel that good burn in my legs, I was GLAD and my mood lifted and I felt good for the first time all day. Im glad my MFP buddies encouraged me to go. The best part is seeing the extra…

Hello hotness! :laugh:
