I love watching the biggest loser it inspires me and then last night I had a revelation. I have watched the show for at least 8 seasons.. (something like that).. I can't believe so much time has passed and I still struggle to stay committed. Courtney was such an inspiration and to watch her journey has been awesome. I am…

I agree it seems drastic but then again , if given the opportunity to "get the job done" so to speak in 6 months and get your life back. I would do the show in a heart beat. There is no mystery as to why they lose so much weight. Calories in, exercise .. I am starting to realize this big "mystery" of how to loose weight is…

I do both Zumba (1 to 2 times a week) and Pilates (once a week). I like that combination. One is fat burning and the other is sculpting and so much work on core strength. I think you would like the Zumba if you like to dance. The hour flies by. NOw spin class I have never tried but do not think my *kitten* was meant for a…

Yes I do and I have done the sabotage thing. For me I think it just happens when I have a few emotional days (for whatever reason) and then all of a sudden realize those two days are now a week. I feel guilty and feel as if I have failed again. But , this time when it happens I am just jumping back on board and moving…

I log it in as aerobics general ... or if I really push it then high intensity.

What a great response to "opinions please".. How often do we not "trust" that the system of weight loss really works.. Calories in - exercise out. and get frustrated when we hit a plateau , often forgetting how far we have come. I really enjoyed your response and it also helped me today. ::smile:

What a great success story. You must be very proud of yourself. You should be. Your a beautiful girl. Keep up the great work.

If you figure that 3500 calories = 1 pound of fat. Then you really should not eat more because you have the extra calories from exercise. If you want to lose eg. 2 lbs per week then you would need to -1000 calories per day to equal out to 7000 calories which is (3500 x 2 ) = 2 lbs. based on 7 days. I thought it was…

Emily - thanks for the post. I am really enjoying this site so far too. Like minded people helping and supporting each other. Who knew? lol Your pic shows you running. Did you just recently run a marathon?

Hi , I am new to this site but yes, not to dieting. This is the first time I am taking a calorie in, exercise out approach. I have been a dance instructor for 25 years and have struggled my entire life. I am turning 42 this month and am tired of being overweight. I want this to be my year , but more importantly I want to…

Manifa... I wanted to reply to your post as I have been a dance instructor for 25 years and have too struggled with my weight since the age of 10. I am now turning 42 and just recently sold my dance school (still working there part time though). To try and clear the bad self image I too have had of myself for so many…
