No worries! I figured that's what it was for lol. :)

Very true! I've noticed that too! I used to burn about 600 at my Zumba classes (when I went to actual classes) and now it's literally about 450 every time. It gets harder to burn, for sure!

It's very attainable! You just need the want and the desire to change. Don't be too hard on yourself. One of the best things I learned is to love myself. Know that you're doing your best. So you only lost 1 pound instead of 2? Don't beat yourself up! Celebrate! Work harder and push yourself for those extra reps that you…

Exactly!

Again, does NOT have to be 20. Any goal. 5, 10, 15.. Whatever you want for you. It's just a group of people helping each other stay focused, that's the biggest part of this all, as I've said in all my posts so far. 20 is just my personal goal and if others would like to push themselves with me, great! But set yourself up…

Dinner last night was a huge hit! I made WW Chimichangas! They were delicious! My boyfriend loved them as well! However, I'm not sure where they're nutrition facts came from but they say they're around 100 calories for one. According to MFP when I put all the ingredients in, they're more like 200. The brand of tortilla is…

For my yogurt alfredo? I used Greek. I use Greek for everything! Plain greek yogurt is also my substitute for sour cream too!

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/109333-20-pounds-by-2016 That's the link to the group! All you have to do is join in! :) I'm not sure how many of you have made it that far or not yet. It's getting large!

Jogging was where I started! That and this leg routine I found on a fitness blog that was called "your best butt ever" hahaha. It was a killer though!! I really dislike jogging at first. I was slow, everything hurt and it was just miserable. I ended up doing some reading to try to make it suck less. Turns out, a great pair…

I have class on Saturdays so I'm up earlier than normal as it is but I really should wake up earlier to get my workout in and workout on Sundays too. Tuesdays and Thursdays are generally my rest days because I have class so late but it'd be really nice to take Sunday off instead! I should try to waking up early on the…

You don't have to aim for 20. It's just a motivational group of people to help each other stick with this throughout the remainder of the year. 20 pounds would be roughly 1.5 each week which isn't impossible, but you really have to set your mind to it. You can max out your fitness pal and aim for 2 pounds each week so it's…

Everything will be posted within the group! :)

I'd love to respond to each of you individually but I'm afraid I've gotten a little behind! First of all, WELCOME! I'm glad to see everyone here with a great, positive attitude! I will be here throughout this whole challenge, keeping everything active and moving forward! I've been in a few where they just fizzled out but…

Link: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/109333-20-pounds-by-2016 We already have 41 members but the more support and participation, the better!!

I started this group yesterday! We really get started on the 18th but I'll be posting recipes consistently and others have been as well! We'll do weigh ins and challenges throughout the remainder of the year! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/109333-20-pounds-by-2016

It's been my constant battle all year! If you find a trick, let me know and I'll do the same! Lol Great job making it to the gym still though! As long as you're getting it in! It's just a schedule thing for me. I work 7:30-4 most days (sometimes early or later; 6:30-5.. EW!) and that's a Monday - Friday schedule. I have…

Here's a link, just in case! 20 Pounds by 2016 group link!

Those zucchini sticks look amazing!

That looks fantastic! That's going in my menu this week! Thanks for sharing!

That's not silly at all. That's a great goal! I hope it happens for you soon because when it does, you'll feel fantastic! Best wishes!

Whew! That's a good goal! Best of luck to you. Do lots of core exercises!!

Yes! That's exactly what it does! Great job! :)

Invites sent! :) My goodness it's growing more than I thought! I'm so glad!

Tae Kwon Do intimidates me! Props to you lol! Setting your mind to it is half the battle! You've got this!! :)

Start small! Then when you reach that, you'll get a boost to really push forward to the next one! Before you know it, you'll be further than you could've ever imagined!

Right there with ya! Lol

Invites have been sent! I'm not entirely sure how they work or where they go to notify you lol. I've never been invited to one! If you don't receive it, just go to the "groups" under your community tab and search for "20 pounds by 2016" and you'll find it! The more the merrier! It's getting bigger and the more…

Great job! You're well on your way! Thanks for the tips! I'm always looking for a good read. :) I read a lot of articles, blogs, free books from trainers and what not. It really does make a difference when you have a lot of questions answered and you're not just fumbling around guessing. I'll be looking into these!

I'm right there with you! Desk job, HUGE sweet tooth! It definitely takes a lot of will power! I find alternative (less guilty) treats to feed my addiction when I need to! I'll be sure to post of the recipes I've made! ;) Figure out your schedule and find what works for you! Start little if you need to, 10-20 minutes here…

I believe I've invited you all or you've made your way there yourselves! :)
