I totally failed last week, so I will lower my goal just slightly and push onward! :) My Weekly Goal: 3500 calories Wed: calories burned (how they were burned) Thur:calories burned (how they were burned) Fri: calories burned (how they were burned) Sat:calories burned (how they were burned) Sun:calories burned (how they…

I don't know about calories, but I do sweat WAY more when I do Zumba on my Wii, and feel it in more parts of my body, than I do on the elliptical.

My Weekly Goal: 4000 calories Wed: 488 (Wii Zumba) Thur: 0 (no exercise) Fri: 244 (Wii Zumba) Sat: 0 (no exercise) Sun: 70 (Wii Fit) Mon: calories burned(how they were burned) Tues:calories burned(how they were burned) Total: 802 Left To Go: 3198

Feb 1250.4 Feb 8249.6 Feb 15 ---- 250.2 Feb 22 ---- 248.2 Feb 28247.8 Well, I only lost 2.6lbs, but that is a little over half of the planned loss, and it's not a gain so it will do quite nicely! Slow and steady wins the race :)

Agree with above post. I have heard a lot of bad stuff about it lately, but of course anything you hear about media has to be taken with a grain of salt. You asked for prayer in the B2B board and so I prayed that whatever was right for you would be what happened, and I 120% believe that God came through on that. You are…

Apparently I picked my worst week to enter this challenge, as usually I work out 6 days a week...Oh well, still three days left :) My Weekly Goal: 4000 calories Wed: 488 (Wii Zumba) Thur: 0 (no exercise) Fri: 244 (Wii Zumba) Sat: 0 (no exercise) Sun:calories burned (how they were burned) Mon: calories burned(how they were…

Sorry to have to double post, but edit option was gone! I don't have time sadly to do a second round of Zumba today, so needed to change todays calories. :) My Weekly Goal: 4000 calories Wed: 488 (Wii Zumba) Thur: 0 (no exercise) Fri: 244 (Wii Zumba) Sat:calories burned (how they were burned) Sun:calories burned (how they…

Sooo correction on my loss! I totally forgot that I was going on my weigh in from Tuesday (for the 5lbs lost in Feb challenge), and not my weigh in last Sat for B2B! So my actual loss was 1.6lbs not .2lb :)

And that was BEFORE any coffee!! hehe. But seriously, thank you! It's always so awesome to hear things like that, because I've made a 180 from three weeks ago. I got called "bubbly" the other day for the first time in my life, and it made my day! :happy:

Good morning, all!! Well I only lost .2lb, but that is better than a gain, so I choose to be happy! :) I also know that starting any new kind of exercise can be the culprit, and I have definitely felt muscle building from Zumba, so I am not too concerned. Yesterday ended up being an unplanned rest day, so today is back on…

Oh okay, I shall weigh in tomorrow then!! I'm antsy to do so, anyway, haha :) And I would go to the website to find out more about C25k (I just googled "Couch 2 5k"), but the basic idea is being able to run 5k (3 miles) straight, after working at it for 9 weeks.

Aw thank you for the encouragement, Jena!!! I definitely need it!! We apparently aren't going to make it to the gym today, though, because I guess this snow is supposed to ice over soon! Eek! So I'm not sure if I'll start tomorrow (weather permitting) or wait until Monday so that I can do MWF and have my weeks be even, if…

Hello all!! We got the snow last night and despite not wanting it, I got caught up in the excitement and beauty of it! It's melting now, though. Don - Zumba is kind of a mix between dance and aerobics, or at least that is how I would describe it. Lots of gyms offer classes, but I decided I'd rather do it in the privacy of…

Welcome! As other posters have said before me, you have made the first step!! Feel free to add me if you would like :)

It definitely would have just a few weeks ago! Thanks to my naturopath, support of my mom and good friend, and MFP my attitude has totally changed! If I see that I gained, I become more determined and evaluate what I might have done to cause the gain (or if it's just muscle or something other than fat).

I had no idea about the Zumba game either, until I went into GameStop on Monday and the guy working told me it was their most popular fitness game! I have never done a class at my gym, but had heard it was fun, so voila game came home with me! I would definitely recommend it! It is SO nice to have a game at home that is…

Welcome Amanda! :) Sorry to hear about your daughter, Marcie!! I hope she feels better very soon! Gas here (NW Oregon) is around 3.27 I believe, but I don't feel so bad about that after seeing Jena's post! Gas is crazy right now! Well I did 40 minutes of Wii Zumba yesterday, 20 minutes two times, and the first time I…

I will add you :) I have suffered from severe depression since the age of ten (am 21 now). It can definitely make healthy choices even tougher, as well as every day life (obviously). I am on a bunch of natural supplements right now and they are REALLY helping a lot. I don't wanna go into detail like I'm an expert or…

Well first off, good for you!! I'm sorry that you had to deal with something like that, but I'm glad that you are succeeding! Secondly, I do somewhat have a similar story. My dad always called me fat, even when I actually had a pretty smoking body (didn't know then because I believed him..sadness). I told him about how I'm…

Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a lovely and healthy day thus far! Sorry I haven't been on posting more often, I spent basically the entire weekend cleaning my room & tried to spend any spare time with my babies (dogs and cats hehe). So let's see... I feel that things have been going really well, and considering I…

Feb 1250.4 Feb 8249.6 Feb 15 ---- 250.2 Feb 22 ---- 248.2 Well nowhere near 5lbs, but I'm still happy about this :)

Wow you look amazing!! You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing with us!

Thank you everybody for the warm welcomes!! I look forward to getting to know you all better, too! :)

Thank you!! Yeah, I thought mini goals would make it easier! :) I don't go to school, and I'm not sure yet whether I will or not. I am an aspiring author and have actually already written one book, so that's the direcion I am hoping to go! And you have a great weekend too!:happy:

I will weigh-in in the morning in case I have lost any surprise pounds, and email you with the result :) Thank you for the welcome!!

Thank you all for your replies! I guess I will learn as a little time goes by whether or not I hold onto water and need a lower sodium intake. I don't personally have diabetes or any other health problems along those lines, but since it runs in my family should I consume less, or only worry about that if my doctor says I'm…

Hello all! Hopefully it is not too late to join in on this, as I could definitely use motivation and extra challenges!! My name is Katie I am 21 (will be 22 in June) I am currently 250, with an ultimate goal of around 120 My first mini goal is 230 I have only been on this healthy journey for 16 days as of today, but…

Thank you, givprayz! I do sweat quite heavily also, so maybe I'll set it to 2000 and aim for that! I hadn't even thought about the sweat factor :)
