I know you love your diet coke but it really is so bad for you! I use to drink it until I started getting shooting pains in my arms every time I drank it. It's great that you have greatly decreased the amount you drink but REALLY think about getting rid of the crap altogether. Here's an article that may sway you to make…

I started 2/27 as well and attempted the kickstart but at day 3 I decided it was too extreme and stressing me out (I have 3 young children that keep me stressed out enough! lol). So, now I just do the regular program and don't really follow her meal plan. I have found that I really can barely stomach most of the recipes…

1. I get up just before 6am and start working out right away. I think it's a guideline and not something that is mandatory. Obviously, this program will be hard to follow to a tee. Don't stress yourself and just give it your all, to the best of your ability. What about a half serving of almonds? Those are healthy and not…

I tried the kickstart but had such a hard time with the food options. I can't eat eggs, so that only left Greek yogurt. I was really having a hard time getting that down. I made the soup & chicken and could barely get that down. The turkey burger didn't cook up right and ended up becoming a bowl of ground turkey with…

I like taking classes at the northside OKC YMCA

Hi! I'm Emily (or "Mamamizzle"), mommy of 3 (ages 4,2,1). I need to lose 30 lbs. in order to get back to my pre-prego weight and I love to Zumba, take Step classes (okay, I "like" Step) and grit my teeth through spin class at the Y. I was born and raised in California, but we recently moved to Oklahoma City. I know of the…

I like this week's challenge! This I can easily do!

I often wonder the same thing! I do Zumba and don't think I burn 600-700 calories. I guess the only way to know for sure is to monitor your heart rate and then do this formula... http://www.livestrong.com/article/78365-estimate-calories-burned-heart-rate/

I just started doing Zumba as well and haven't lost more than 5 lbs. I do it 2-4 times a week and have been doing so for a few weeks. I think I am getting more toned though. I will be honest and say that I'm struggling with my diet. My cousin has been doing it for about 6 months and has lost about 50 pounds. She probably…

Wow, I'm so jealous! My baby is 8 months old and I gained 50 pounds during my pregnancy (yikes). I've lost it, but still have 30 I was holding onto from my two previous pregnancies (double yikes). Your pictures got me thinking that maybe it is possible for me to be in rockin' shape! Thanks for the inspiration! Now, here's…

Yep, gotta lose the baby weight too! I have 27 lbs. to go until I'm at my prepregnancy weight (that was 2006). I've had 3 kids and could never quite lose all the weight in between each pregnancy. I'll add you as a friend!

I agree with this. If I were you, I would try it out and see what happens.

bump!

Thank you for the inspiration! Everyone should be so proud of themselves! It ain't easy, that's for sure!

Right there with ya! I've got a 4 year old, 2 year old, and 8 month old) Just turned the big 3-0 and hope to get in the best shape of my life! I will add you! Any other mommies out there...I'm looking for other mommy friends as well! I've got 27 pounds left to go!

Oh, nevermind. I went back and read through this whole forum and got my question answered.

Yes, seriously, thank you!

Maybe this is a silly question, but when measuring the waist...ummm...what exactly is considered the waist? Belly button? An inch or two below the bust? Halfway between the bust and belly button? I'm complicating this, aren't I? LOL

Yikes! Live and Learn! Don't beat yourself up.

Team Born to Lose! Anyone want to be captain?

I want in! I'm at 181 right now and trying to lose that darn pregnancy weight! I have about 30 pounds to lose. This December is my baby's 1st birthday so it would be PERFECT to also finally be at my pre-pregnancy weight (I haven't seen my pre-pregnancy weight in about 5 years because I haven't been able to lose the prego…

It usually takes me about 3 days of being committed to staying within my calorie allowence and then I get use to the smaller amounts of food and feel less like I'm hungry. Really, exercise is what is going to make the "dieting" process so much easier because the more you exercise the more calories you can consume and you…

Exactly! It is so much nicer in tornado country to get a warning!

You know, I lived in CA for the first 30 years of my life and I've never felt an earthquake (lived in northern CA mostly, but spent 3 years in Southern CA & 1 year on the central coast). We just moved to Oklahoma City this year and the storms and tornadoes here totally freak me out! But, people here aren't scared at all…
