You look great. I need motivation with exercise right now....love your motto!!!

My kettlebell instructor has us do both strength training and cardio...I think they are more designed to get both done vs dumbbells. If you have ever done 15 min of kettlebell swings...15 sec on/15 sec rest you will find your heartrate is up there with those on a treadmill. Then we have sections where it is geared more…

I do Kettlebells faithfully 3 x's a week most weeks. Have toned and feel good. That said...my eating has gotten out of control again and despite toning, no weight loss. My instructor asked me about what was going in my mouth. When we talked nutrition he said 75% of my weight loss journey will be what I put in my mouth. So…

Love my Vitamix...has 7 year warantee...have had 2 years with no problems. Blends the heck out of everything....even have used it as food processor to dice veggies to sautee for soups etc. Still need to make soup itself in it....rep at Costco did a chicken tortilla soup using blender alone....was delicious!!!

Did the 40 min Get Started DVD from Exilierate set I recieved....great workout. Look forward to seeing what the others are like....seems like a lot of different routines which is nice. Love Zumba class at my gym, but times they have aren't very condusive to regular attendance with my job. Good luck all...Zumba on!!

Count me in. Just got the Zumba Exhilirate and plan to start today right after Rose Bowl coverage. Have done Zumba classes and on Wii...not consistant and am hoping that this challenge gets me into consistancy!!!

I've got a wedding to plan, a bride to kill, Muldur (sp??) to frame for it....I'm swamped!!!!!

Panera blended mocha...thought it would be a little splurge....this has been several years...but at the time was like 750 calories and 54 grams of fat!!!!!! Big splurge

Thanks...think I'll investigate the HRM. In meantime I'll find it in cardio....thought it would be in strenth training!!! I really am liking it.

Yum!!!

What about attending a meeting like Overeaters Annonymous or seeing a counselor. Sometimes just need some extra help. I know someone who said the meetings really helped her focus on why she was binging. I also am reading a book called "Eat What you Love, Love What You Eat" by a Dr. Michelle May. It is on the psychological…

I have to admit...face is first place I lose....I have lost 22 lbs (despite the tracker saying 20!!) and people are noticing that...that said...like other poster...wish it was off my abdomen!!!! :) Friend I am doing WW's with has lost 35...she doesn't have full face and wears bulkier clothing...so no one has noticed her…

Looks good...following!!! Going to make those meatballs this weekend to use in meals next week. thanks.!!!

Love classes. I'm pretty sure I look like a tarantula who had a stroke in Zumba....arms/legs very non-coordinated...but who cares...there to exercise!!! And in Yoga I still can't do the harder poses....but that is ok....our gym has instructors that are very good at coaching and telling you to go at your pace...they…

Dang....don't have the ingredients or calories left today...but tomorrow is a new day..........

Yum....I have tried strawberry which is good....careful of your microwave if it runs hot...mine burned mine in a minute and cake was hard....downed the time and all was good!!!! Def want to try the chocolate with Nutella....I have a love affair with the stuff!!!

Feel free to add me. I'm a PACU nurse...easier than when I was an ER nurse...they allowed food on unit and junk was everywhere. Now can't have junk around me. My battle has been the early lunch breaks on the early shift...so hungry when I get off...was running through fast food all the time. Now I am trying to have a piece…

Bump....new goal...don't eat whole batch.......

Born and raised in Sacramento, CA...now live in Rochester, MN (otherwise known as "the other Rochester")!!!!!!

Wow....you are an inspiration. Good job Ed!!!!!

I have been on WW's and still am and on here. I find that no matter the program....it is easy to eat junk if you let yourself. You can either eat empty points or empty calories. People can harbor calories and undereat for a treat later as well. If you want to learn to eat healthy...takes some time and research. I have…

Amen....feel free to add me!!!

Love her healthy chicken nuggets on Skinnytaste.com. I don't know why I have a love affair with chicken nuggets...but I do and these are great and so much better for you than my McDonalds addiction!!!

If they won't let you walk at the gym...how about a local mall. We have a ton of mall walkers here in MN as it is normally so cold and icy...not so much this winter. But I have been there when people are there for exercise and they really move. Then when you are done walking you can spend your money on all the cute clothes…

Yummm...thanks...going to get stuff to make this with tomorrow.

Yum....will be making these....thanks!!!!

I used to work in a level 1 trauma ER and wore a pedometer when I was in our triage area....it had the most movement. I had over 24,000 steps for many average shifts (many more for above average). I would add those. I have now moved to being a recovery room nurse and do a lot more standing than moving. I do still transport…

Merry Christmas all!!!

You have done awesome on this challenge!!!

Way to go!!!!
