I'm back down to my weight I was 2wks ago. I've lost about 2lbs this week. Now on to more. I only need 2lbs more to make my goal for the month so hopefully I'll go over that. I officially have 20lbs to lose by Halloween. Now my MFP ticker should start going down too.

I'm the same way, an emotional eater. Both for good and bad. I feel good I eat. I feel bad I eat. But I felt the same way you did. I know I have to put it in my diary and everyone will see it and I don't want to fail. I'm doing good so far and this is the most committed I've been to dieting ever, the healthy way. I push my…

I lost 2lbs over the weekend! I'm completely floored since weekends are always the hardest for me cuz we eat out half the time. I'm so excited that I'm almost down to what I was 2wks ago when family and holiday eating and drinking stalled me. I'm back on track now. I need to be at 178 by the end of the month and it finally…

For now I'm using some videos on youtube that are great.

Definitely go for the Zumba. It's awesome. You work up the best sweat and burn the most calories. Also I like that you can do different styles of dance. Some take a bit longer to get good at but after you've done it while it will feel more natural. I feel like I get better everyday.

I went over my calorie target today but it was pizza and movie night with the kids. I did workout though so hopefully it won't show too bad on the scale tomorrow. It's my one day off. Back to work tomorrow.

I have finally gotten back to what I was before the 4th weekend so my ticker still hasn't moved yet since I'm where I set it at. But I have lost 2lbs this week.

I forgot to mention that I use www.zumbacalories.com to figure out how many calories I burn. I usually go with mid-intensity. Sometimes I push harder on ones I can do better but over all I just go with mid-intensity.

The ones I use are between 3-5mins a piece so I just keep a list of the mins. for each video I do and add them up at the end. I'm trying to do about 45mins a day right now. But here are some names and links. Hope this helps. zumbawithemily - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBq5J3Xph8k (Boom Boom Pow) ashlyl16 -…

I agree, I'm tired of being too embarrassed to wear a swimsuit. I haven't done anything that required a swimsuit in a long time, including going to the water park which only makes my kids miss out. I miss the beach too. On a high note, I burned 509 calories doing zumba today for 45mins. Technically I've burned off more…

My ticker isn't going down yet cuz I'm still 1.5lbs over what my ticker was set at cuz of the holiday. I'm hoping to get rid of that this week and start seeing my ticker move next week. I have workout 3 days this week though. Why I want to lose weight: I have been heavy since about my sophmore year in college. I started…

If you aren't in the best shape where heavy aerobic workouts are doable I recommend the Biggest Loser 10min workout video. It has several workouts that are only 10mins each so you can do them when ever you have time or do several back to back. I liked it and it made it easy to do them when I had time. For something a…

I do mine starting around 3 or 4pm. I homeschool so I have to do it after I'm finished with that and after I fix lunch. I try to get my youngest down for a nap and then get started but frequently she wakes up during my workout but I just get her settled and start back. I work out as long as I can or until I hit a good…

I got mine at Target and I'm sure I didn't pay more than that. It's nice too. Pink with a pretty dragonfly design. I bought a cheap pink strap to go with it which is a big help. They have fitted sacks for them but those do get expensive.

There's a reason I didn't really start this until this week. The 4th weekend was rough. But I was out of town and there's no such thing as healthy food on a holiday with family. However here are my stats beginning with what I was was before the holiday. Last week: 180 CW: 185.8 GW: 160 (goal for this challenge) Future GW:…

I'm a bit late but I'm joining. I'll come back to give my info. But I'd like to lose 20lbs also. If I lose more great but that's my main goal. I will post my ticker and weight early next week. I'm going out of town for the 4th. I'm really excited though. I think a pic is a great idea. I'll post that too.

I use the AccuPedo which is the full version of the one you guys are mentioning that only goes to 2000 steps. That one is just the trial version. It's worth it to just go ahead and get the full version. It's a great app and is pretty accurate. I counted my steps and then compared them to the app and was only 1-3 steps off.…

Awesome! I noticed your signature about wanting to fit your prom dress. I would absolutely love to wear mine again. It was beautiful and I would kill to use it again. Now I have a new goal but I was a lot skinnier in high school than I thought at the time so I have a ton of work to do. Congrats to you again.

Does anyone know of a good Zumba class in the Atlanta, Ga area? I'm in Loganville so I'm on the east side of Atlanta in Gwinnett county near Snellville, Lawrenceville, and Grayson.

I type in Zaxby's in the food finder database and it has some great options that are correct. I get the grilled chicken salad with no cheese or onions. But i do eat the toast if I can afford the calories. I used their vinaigrette dressing. It was a pretty healthy meal and I had it for lunch.

The only lean cuisine I buy is the french bread pepperoni pizza but only occasionally. I usually get the smart ones teriyaki chicken and vegs. meal and I eat that probably twice a week if I don't have something else. I don't worry about my sodium too much.

I tried both the chocolate and berry flavors and I couldn't stand it. It had such a vitamin taste that I couldn't cover with anything. But I was full and it sustained me all day. I didn't have the nauseous feeling though except while I was drinking it cuz I didn't like it.

About 3 stones here.

Hi, I'm just like you. I'm 32 and a sahm of 3 and haven't been happy with my weight since I graduated high school. It's time to get serious while sexy lingerie might still look good on me. ;) Nice to meet you.

Just for a future idea, the next time you make baked or pan cooked (notice I didn't say fried) chicken, make an extra piece to save for a lunch or dinner when everyone else is eating something you don't want. I frequently make seasoned chicken in a pan with a bit of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and save a piece for a busy…

I'm only 32 but of course I think and feel like that's old, especially with the shape I'm in but I'm new here too. I've done great in just my first week. The logging really helps. I have been battling my weight for the last 12yrs at least. Even when I was young and thin I was self conscious because of all people my family…

Nice to meet you. I use my phone mainly also.

I've only gone over 2 days so far and was under by a few calories the other days so I'm hoping to balance it out a bit. I haven't added in my exercise yet, my life is pretty hectic. But I hope to get started soon. I have a plan laid out just waiting for implementation. It would be nice to get a few extra calories now and…

I can be completely like you. I'm a terrible cheater but on my first week on here I've managed to do very well. The accountability that I have by making myself enter everything I eat or drink has been very helpful. I have that same goal of wearing something cute this summer and to be where I want to be next year for my…
