Love malanga... Its a root vegetable. My dad is Cuban and I remember him boiling or frying it. Its similar to yucca.

Waaaah. Stop making excuses. Either you want it... Or you don't. There is hiking... Which is FREE. Walking... Which is FREE. Go to a community pool... Which is FREE. You work hard for what you want. BTW- I've lost 85 lbs in about 8 months. Yes, its hard... But its sooooo worth it if you just TRY. I have my days where all I…

Haagen Dazs Mint n Chip ice cream... OMG. OH, and pizza! lol

^^^This! Just because you had lunch at Subway doesn't necessarily mean its healthy! Go with a 6 inch veggie delite with no cheese, no mayo, no dressing and NO cookie. And if you're feeling a little crazy that day add some avocado :bigsmile:

Wow! Congrats! You don't even look like the same person!! Amazing!

Holy crap! You look AMAZING!!

How about trying mineral water? Same carbonated and fizzy feeling without the calories and sugar. I love it.

Such a great app. I started using C2K which I finished a couple of months ago now I'm working on C210K. It's helped me sooooo much. I ran 50 minutes last night without the huffing and puffing. I love the app.

Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter Thank you Zumba! =) The instructor definitely plays a HUGE part.... My instructor is AMAZING. I started stalking her on FB just to see where else she taught her class! lol!

Everyone is different... Some people like puking after a session of P90X or Insanity... I prefer walking out of a successful zumba class with a big smile on my face! =)

I've also downloaded a lot of the songs we dance to in zumba. lol! I love it! My daughter knew the dance moves before she even started going to zumba with me.! It truly is a great workout!

Where do I begin?! lol I LOVE Zumba I started with the DVD's then built up the confidence to hit up the classes at my local gym then started doing zumbathons a couple times a month. I'm a zumba freak. I love to dance so this was perfect for me. I look forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays which are my zumba days. The calorie…

Zumba... And I love it!

I get the same "disgusted" looks from my family. I'm 5'7 and weigh 160lbs... I feel great. I feel better in my clothes. ...I just feel GREAT. They're just not used to seeing me "healthy". They're used to seeing me overweight. Before I joined MFP, I weighed in at a hefty 240 lbs. Obviously it was a drastic change. But,…

...you drink a gallon of water after you've eaten. Water cancels everything out!

You look AMAZING! Congrats!! =)

I always considered myself to be "big boned" but after losing over 80lbs and getting down to a size 10; I've realized it was all an excuse. I started out a size 20 which is the biggest I've EVER been to now being a size 10. All it takes is hard work and dedication. Good luck!

My addiction was mexican soda (i.e. Fanta... Especially the pineapple one. OMG YUM!) which is loaded with sugar. I switched over to mineral water which gives me the same bubbly sensation I get when I drink fizzy soda. I'm absolutely hooked on Perrier. Its all a mind game. I've tricked myself into thinking its soda and now…

Being able to grab a size 10 off the rack and actually fitting into them! I've gone from a size 20 to a size 10 =) Major bragging rights!

I get the same thing all the time! My co-workers have officially labeled my diet the "Broccoli Diet" simply because I incorporate broccoli in almost all of my meals. Its not a diet... Its a way of life! I eat to live... Not live to eat. And yes, I still have my cake and eat it too! =)

I'm on W8D2... I absolutely love this program! I love it so much that I just downloaded C210K! I'm down a total of 80 lbs... I owe a lot of it to this program.

I'm on W8D2... I'm just surprised that I've made it this far! I can actually refer to myself as a 'runner'! Wow. Such a great feeling!
