Anything from Rage Against the Machine and my guilty pleasure, The Offspring.

TAMALES! But they were homemade so I was able to control a lot of what went into them. Instead of lard I used chicken broth and olive oil and the chicken filling was made with only the breast. Then I did go hiking and played catch with the hubby this afternoon. I'm feeling good!

Idid. Almost 2 pounds! I'm so excited about it! I did have healthier versions of traditional Mexican food like tamales, but today we took the kids on a 1-mile hike through the trails near Wrightwood. Then my husband and I played catch for about 40 minutes. I think he kept throwing it over my head on purpose, but it's ok.…

If you have a smart phone, most have an app for a free Couch 2 5K. It helps you build up from walking for three minutes, jogging for one until you are jogging for the entire 5K. I have a fitness course I have to get through in April so I have a little more time. Good luck to you!

This is a great place! I'm sure you will find the support you will need here.

My first year in college.

I want to try Zumba, too. I hope to start after Jan. 1st.

This is a great site for support!

I haven't lost anything, but just find it funny that I have always wanted to be bigger than a B and that's what you hope to shrink to. I hope to drop from a B-C to a solid B. Let's see how it goes.

-- Hummus and veggies. -- Apple slices and raw almond butter -- Air popped popcorn -- Fresh seasonal fruits -- Salsa and baked corn tortillas (bake them in the oven) There are lots!!

That is absolutely fabulous! Congrats on your achievement! You look amazing.

It's definitely not easy. I have to take steroids in pretty high doses for my asthma and I have to fight for every single pound. I get a little more discouraged when I hear how pounds melt off peole when all they do is switch from soda to water. I don't drink soda, hardly ever have sweets, and don't eat many fried foods…

If you guys can rustle up the peeps, I think an MFP team would be an awesome idea!!

YAY!!!! It should be great!!!!

I'd love to be a part. Today I'm at 179. Let's see what I can do!

Hey Marie! Welcome! I'm sure you will find what you need here. Everyone is very helpful and always willing to give you some advice. Lots of continued luck on your journey!

That is fan-fugoo-tastic!!! It really is inspirational!

TO SURVIVE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!! and health, always health. ;0) Honestly, I like being strong and want to be in good enough shape to survive a catastrophe even if it isn't of the zombie kind. I also want to feel hot again. My husband tells my I am, but until I feel it, I will keep on keepin' on.

That's very cool! Congratulations to you.

I have done some of the Shimmy workouts on FitTv and while they are challenging in the movement aspect, I didn't feel especially challenged physically. I prefer swing. I just learned the Lindy Hop and it will make you sweat! But really, it's what works for you and your stage in the game right now. I know belly dancing…

This sounds like fun! I'm going to grab my hubby and try this. How often do we check in?

I would like to join, as well. I am a little late but need the motivations and accountability. Thanks!

I used to live in El Monte. Wish I could help out. Now I live in Victorville. I hope you find a partner. They can be really motivating.

That's great! I am know I don't see the changes myself and it's so nice for others to see your success.

This is absolutely amazing! You are a complete inspiration to so many! Keep it up!!!!!

Congrats to you and you can do it. I am returning and know that we will both find the support we need here.

I'm not over 50 but my mom is and I can tell she starts to lose fairly quickly when she goes for walks in the desert behind our house for at least half an hour. It's usually only a few pounds at first but then she needs to ramp it up. Her problem is she isn't consistent. But either way, even if you only lose a little bit…

That is very inspiring. I have have many ups and more than a few downs. Days like that are amazing and even though I'mnot where I want to be, I definitely see a difference in my stamina.

I tried it a few months ago and couldn't do it. I'm going to revisit in a few weeks. Welcome!

We already have an *kitten* kicking zombie crew made up of a bomb-maker, a weapons expert (hubby was in the Army,) medic, (friend's hubby), close range tactical fighter (because I'm Mexi and my buddy is Filipino, we're great with a knife and machete :laugh: ) and a leader. Our plan is simple. First get to the Costco where…
