Just got home from Zumba and burned 570 calories and was wringing wet! I love it! :heart:

OH, that sounds great. My hubby's garden is going to be producing lots of cucumbers soon, so that'd be a great way to use them up too! Thanks for sharing! =)

Thank you so much! Sounds really easy and delish!

I'll have to look for that recipe. Thanks for the heads up! :smile:

Thanks everybody... those are some great ideas! =)

they sound great!

Michelle, I know what it's like to have to adjust your goal ~ and as long as we're realistic about our goals as we're moving along and still making progress, I think it's all good. :heart: Mine was to be at 199 by the 4th and I'm at 211 right now (and I lost 2 lbs last week). I just don't think it's gonna happen. :frown: I…

Just checking in.. today is day 4 without chocolate and I'm wearing some capris that I couldn't zip up a month ago. The scale might not be moving but the clothes are helping me stay focussed and encouraged. I hope everyone has a great and successful weekend! :bigsmile:

Thanks for sharing!! :flowerforyou:

:happy: Today is day 2 without the chocolate! :happy: Woohoo!! It hasn't been as hard as I was expecting... but I guess we'll see how it goes from here on out.

I'm really tempted to order the DVD's. I go to a zumba class at my gym, but I never want to exercise anymore unless I'm doing zumba! :blushing: So... I might need the DVD's to do at home when class isn't being offered.

Wow! Today was my first day without chocolate. I decided to give it up for the month of June (actually until July 4th) as I have a goal I'd really like to meet. I'm a true chocoholic so I figure the only way I can make this happen is to quit cold turkey. Thanks for the inspiration that it can be done! :flowerforyou: Way to…

I started today giving up chocolate, as in cookies, candy, cakes, ice cream.... the only "chocolate" I will allow is my daily protein shake. I realize I'm a real chocoholic and I've set a goal to be at 199 by July 4th. I have 14 lbs to lose to get there. I really think the only way I can do it is to cut the sweets! So, I'm…

I love my zumba classes that I go to, but I'm thinking about getting the dvd's for when I want to workout and there's no class being offered. Zumba has ruined me for the treadmill/eliptical... they just seem so boring to me now.

these sound great. thanks for sharing!

sounds good! Thanks for sharing!

That sounds pretty good! Thanks for sharing!

Yep! One of the instructors at my gym really is tough and I can hardly keep up, whereas another one stops between songs to teach the basic moves and it gives the heart time to slow down. I only burn about half the calories in her class..

Congratulations!!! That's awesome! Keep up the good work!

That's awesome! I'm looking forward to that day myself! Congrats!!

Thanks everybody! Since joining MFP, I've switched to dark chocolate, and that wasn't easy as I don't really *like* dark chocolate. So, then I'd get hershey's dark nuggets and allow myself one serving (4 nuggets) in a day. I think it was just causing me to expect my chocolate daily allowance. I'm coming up on my 4th…

For me it will mean being smaller than I have been since middle school (and I'm 35 now). I can't remember the last time I was under 200lbs, seriously I think it was middle school. That's a HUGE milestone for me. While it's somewhat daunting, it's getting so close (13 lbs away) and it feels like it might just be that…

So, we're about 5 weeks from our challenge date... and I realized I still have 13lbs to lose to meet my goal of weighing 200lbs by then. Since I'm a total chocolate addict, I've decided now is the time to cut it out completely! I can already feel the anxiety in my system just knowing the hold it has on me and that tomorrow…

If you're doing P90X and insanity everyday, my guess is you need more calories than 1200.... just guessing here, but make sure they're good calories, kwim?

I tried the cashew cookie bar today. It was yummy and I couldn't believe *how* filling it was! OMG! I wasn't hungry for hours after eating that thing.

I'm a licker too.. but I lick one finger and moisten one side, then lick a different finger to moisten the other side... :blushing:

That sounds really good!

I like to add cheese to mine along with the bacon bits... yum. Not low calorie, but so very satisfying. The thought of grating it and frying it sounds too delish!

Great perspective!! :happy:

Where are y'all finding these flavors that sound so yummy? Maybe I just hadn't thought to look at the regular grocery stores yet.. hmmm.. I've got a huge box of them now (from Sam's) but if they're as good as they sound, I may be looking for new flavors too.
