I am also using Zumba on the Wii. I do know it stops between songs but nothing says you have to stop moving. March, skip, hop, run in place, whatever! Just keep your heart rate up between songs. I do okay when I walk/run but I do great when I've been hitting the Zumba!

I have had low BP all my life but when I went to the doc in November it was high. I don't remember exactly but similar to yours or maybe a tiny bit lower. I have only lost 18 pounds but I check it in the grocery store at those things by the pharmacy and it was normal the last two times I checked. The last time was 102/62…

I did okay in April so here goes May! SW: 224 CW: 205.6 GW: 199 (I know 5 pounds would be 200.6, but I would love to get under 200 with this month. I'm thinking positively!) Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (5/01 Thur): 5/03 Sat: 5/10 Sat: 5/17 Sat: 5/24 Sat: End of Month (5/31 Sat): Total weight lost:

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I totally didn't think I would make it but I must have been holding on to some sodium. I upped my water intake like crazy the last couple of days and really watched my sodium and...guess what? SW: 224 April Starting weight: 211.4 GW for April: 206.4 Ending weight: 205.6 !!!!!! March 30: 211.4 April…

I totally agree. I think people would be shocked at how much sodium is packed into foods that they eat every day. I'm also lucky that my BP was always low, though it was up in November for my doctor's visit. Having only lost 16 pounds, it is already back to it's low levels which is great. Sandwich meat was a biggie for me.…

I haven't posted here in a while due to frustration, but I'm feeling better now!

I'm really…

Sigh....okay, almost 2 weeks later and I have continued to waver around the 210 mark. And I am so unbelievably sick of the stupid "complete entry" option on My Fitness Pal. Every time I hit it says, "If you continue to eat the way you did today, in 5 weeks you will weigh..." under 200 pounds. Uh, well, it's been 4 weeks of…

I'm so jealous! Congrats! Congrats! I am only 8 pounds away but it seems like 50 pounds. Glad to hear great accomplishments!

I had one in 2008 and I will say this; you will never regret it. Do stay accountable on your weight though. I went from a G to a C, but then gained weight & got back up to a DD. Once I get it off this time, I'm keeping it off. Congrats!

2.8 pounds down so far for April! Proud but wishing it were more!

Okay, so I got "monthly cycle" stuck earlier in the week, but I decided to check again today and it was down another 1.2 pounds! Woohoo! SW: 224 CW: 209.8 GW: 140 March 30: 211.4 April 6: 209.8 April 16: 208.6 Weight loss for April so far: 2.8 pounds

Yahoo! I have only been allowing myself weekly weigh ins because I tend to stress about it but I decided to monitor this week since I thought my screwy pre-menopausal symptoms were to blame. Down to 208.6 this morning! If I don't count the jump up earlier this week, that's down 1.2 pounds from my last weigh in! Okay, now…
-
Okay, so I know this sounds insane but I was excited to figure out that one of the reasons I didn't lose weight this week was because I started today. I know it sounds crazy that I didn't know that was going to happen but I am at the beginning of early menopause so I go for LONG times without having one. This time it's…

Thanks for all the encouragement. I had tweaked a few things on my nutrition goals that I think I'm going to go back and fix. I'm also going to work harder to be very consistent with exercise and be aware of the other improvements I'm seeing.

I don't actually weigh in until Sunday or Monday but here I am so far. I'm also scared to weigh in because I am at the 3-4 pound range where I ALWAYS get stuck, get frustrated, and quit. My body seems to fight me around 210 and no matter what I do I don't seem to get below it. Yes, I got to 209, but the doubt is there that…

I could totally use some friends if anyone's interested. I've got a long way to go and it seems like it's coming off at a sluggish pace. SW: 224 CW: 209 GW: 140 I'm actually excited because I finally got out of the 210 to 215 range. That seems to be where I get stuck. I have been doing a little tweaking on my calorie and…

Hi guys! I'm a newbie to the thread and have been using MFP fairly consistently as of late. I downloaded it a long time ago but only used it a few times. I'm finally back on track and headed downward (hopefully for good). I'm a 45 year old mom who hit her all time high of 224 and finally decided enough was enough. My first…

I definitely need to get the ball rolling consistently in the minus direction so I'm in!:smile: :smile:

Such an accomplishment! I hope to do something similar on my journey. By the way, there is a camera app I just started using called CamMe that will take pictures of you without you having to hold it in your hand. That way you can get a full selfie without having to be blocked by the phone.
