I'm the same way. In the past couple years I've lost about 30-35 lbs. My shirt size has gone down 3 sizes but my pant size only 1. I'm definitely a pear. The way I look at it I would rather have a big butt and hips than a big stomach and I don't mean to offend anyone at all! : )

I would set it for lightly active as well. You probably only work 3 days/week right? That's what I did when I worked on the floor. That way it could account for your days off. Yes, a nurse is never sedentary. No time to even pee most days! : )

I have a 2011 Kia Soul. I love it. It gets about 24 mpg in the city driving. You can't beat the warrantee.

I don't count those weight. I weighed today, day 2 of TOM and regretted it. I'm up 2 lbs. We will see what next week shows. I will log that weight.

When I do have to eat there, which isn't very often I will get a Happy Meal. With fries and a cheeseburger it's around 500 calories.

Whenever we do eat there which isn't often, I order a Happy Meal.

I love flavored (blueberry is my fav) Chobani greek yogurt with the Special K granold on top. Yummy!

Well, it may seem little and simple, but we've been dating about 14 months now and ever since our very first date he has sent me a good morning email everyday. I always look forward to reading his little emails everyday. I love him! : )

I second the Shirataki noodles. Blech!

Thank you guys for all your kind words and support. My kids are 9 1/2 and just turned 4 so the older one could bike along with me but the younger one isn't quite ready for that yet. It's been so darn hot here to do anything around 5, but maybe a little later, like 7ish I can take them out for a walk or something. Thank you…

mmmm

They did tell me and I was honest with them about medications that I took.

I took it last year and lost 30 lbs, then I stopped and kept the weight off. I've been taking it for about 2 months now and haven't really noticed much change. I think you build up a tolerance to it and it gets to a point where it doesn't work anymore. I am stopping when my pills are gone now. Something kinda scary abou it…

Mine are the same way. My hips are a lot bigger than my waist, so anything I get to fit my waist is too tight in the butt. I can't win! I'm definitely going to have to take them to be tailored.

I just bought mine and did it twice now. I had my HRM on and it said I burned 300 calories in 20 minutes. I believe it. I was dripping with sweat! It's fun too. I just need to get a lot more coordinated, but moving is moving right?

I was just wondering if anyone did the Zumba on the Wii. My schedule as a single mother who works full-time makes it hard to go to any classes, plus they are awfully limited around here and expensive!!!! I'm thinking about buying the game, but just wondered if anyone had any experience.

I like 2 TBSP of hummus and 2 white cheddar rice cakes. It's 140 calories. Yummy!

Well, today breakfast is a bagel thin cinnamon raisin with PB2 and a Dannon light and fit yogurt. My favorite breakfast recipe is egg beaters turkey bacon or ham onion sometimes add black beans low carb high fiber tortilla 1 wedge of laughing cow cheese salsa It's under 200 calories and oh so yummy.

Breakfast: 1 Thomas Bagel thin with 2 tablespoons of fat free cream cheese and 1 4oz greek yogurt lunch: salad (spinich, cucumber, tomato), fat free dressing, lean cuisine, and 1 cup strawberries snack: 20 almonds dinner: pork tenderlion 4oz, salad (spinich, cucumber, tomato) fat free dressing snack: 1 rice cake with 1…

My weight goes up and down so much I've gotten to the point where I just weigh about once a month. I weight the week after my period ends and that's it. I too get so focused on the scale that I get frusturated and disappointed in myself. : (

I am not a fan. I can't get over the texture of them. My local grocery store carries them. They are in the health food/organic section.

I love the Cran-bran ones. Yummy!

Two of my favorite snacks right now are the Emerald Cocoa almonds. It is coated with cocoa powder so it gives you a sweet/salty combo and also a cheddar rice cake topped with 1 tablespoon of hummus. I like the roasted red pepper Sabra brand. Yummy!

My favorite part about my body right now has to be my torso. I can finally see my ribs and my collarbones. Not in a sickly way, just thinnish. : )

Tofu Shirataki noodles. I really wished I could get into them, but they're so disgusting to me. Also, egg whites and cottage cheese.

Thanks guys. I am an expert hula hooper lol. It is a workout for sure. I was plugging in the numbers here and it almost looks like the tennis might burn the most calories according to MFP. I think I will just put on my heart rate monitor and just go for it.

I haven't been doing this long, just a few months. But what I noticed is that I will lose like 1 lb one week, then nothing, then gain 2, then my period starts, then about 9 days later I re-weigh and I have lost 4-5lbs. It's done this for the last 2 months now. I have been getting frusturated, but my body must just hold on…

Thanks! Just downloaded it.

I am a Registered Nurse. I work with Orthopedic, Neurosurgery, and Neurology patients.

LMAO! Me too. Actually, 7 lbs less.
