Start slow. Once you stay on a steady exercise schedule, the endurance will come and you will be able to do more.

Welcome. You have picked a great place to start. Getting healthy is what it is about. I have yo yo dieted for years. This time is different because I have lost the healthy way and made lifestyle changes. That is what you want to stay focused on. Good luck.

I just did bought mine this week. I did a trial run through it the other day and did my first real workout today. Would love to join you for support and motivation.

Thank you for the inspiration!!! I really feel different this time. I am so close to my goal and I really think I will be able to maintain this time. I is not just the weight loss, but the lifestyle changes I have made. Plus all the motivation from MFP.

I confess that I can actually bend down and cut/polish my toe nails without unbuttoning my pants because my stomach is no longer in the way of me bending over (LOL).

Wonderful!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Great job!!! What a wonderful feeling.

I have gone from a size 10-12 to a 4-6. I have only bought a few new pieces. I hoping to have my last few pounds off by Memorial Day. I am going to go through my closet that weekend and donate them. However, I have a few pieces I really hate to get rid of. I thought I might try to shrink them in a hot wash and high heat in…

I have a pair of New Balance that are very low around the ankles. I was having trouble with the higher sneakers rubbing against my ankles when twisting. My instructer recommends sneakers with circular treads to make it easier when doing turns.

I had never heard of Catabolic foods until I read your post. So I went online and searched. How interesting. Negative cals from food. A couple of them I am already eating (blueberries and strawberries). I am going to print the list and add some more to my diet. Thanks for the post.

Sorry, meant awesome feeling. I don't know where I got office. Oh, well, its getting late.

Great for you!!! What an office feeling.

Well my DVD finally arrived yesterday. I watched level 1 last night. I wanted to see what it was like before I actually started. I thought, "oh, this is going to be easy. My Zumba class is harder than this". Well, I did level 1 tonight. Whoa, was I wrong!!! It kicked my but. I had a hard time getting through it. All those…

If you can make it to a local class, try to go. Zumba is much more fun when doing it with a room full of other people

Polar with a chest strap. Don't make the same mistake I did. I bought a sportline without a chest strap the first time. Worked terrible. Your better off spending the extra money on a Polar and having one that works accurate.

Today will be the first time since January I am not logging my food. I do have to say, though, I was very careful with portion sizes, I did not over eat and I did get in a good walk. I just ate food that for the past four months I have been avoiding. Treat yourself to a "free" day today.

Great job!!! It is good to reward yourself!!!

That is amazing. Great job.

Awesome!!! You should be proud.

Great job!!! Isn't that a wonderful feeling.

Yes, I have experienced the same thing. I knew it was going to happen, but I was sad to see the "girls" shrink. On the up side, I can now button my blouse without using an extra pin!! Funny story, a little embarrassing to share, but what the heck: My husband made a comment about my "shrinking girls" a couple weeks ago. I…

Mine is raw califlower. I was suprised to see how low the cals were.

Great job, awesome.

I posted this question last week. I got some really good advice and decided to order the 30 day shred. It won't be here until Monday, so I haven't started yet. I got it on WalMart.com and with shipping only cost $10.79.

1-2 pounds a week is best. Losing slower retrains you on your eating habits, not just losing weight. You don't want a fast fix, but a lifetime of eating and exercising healthy.

I do not eat back my exercise cals. I am losing 1-2 pounds a week, which is a healthy lose. However, I think everyone is different and it depends on your own metabolism.

Great job!!!
