Hello! Wondering if we should join forces? I posted a similar group request just this morning! Most of the girls are just starting as well - the bigger the group the better right? Let me know what you think! :flowerforyou:

Hi! I started the C25K yesterday and am trying to get others to join my group! See my post "Started C25K on 7/20/11 - anyone interested" and let me know if you'd like to join us! Feel free to friend me as well! :flowerforyou:

Bump! :happy:

Bump! Still looking for more interest!! Thanks for the feedback so far everyone!!!! I started week 1, day 1 on 7/20/11 and will go according to that schedule. Everyone can go at their own pace - no pressure!!! :smile: For those who've friended me already and are interested in the group - I will come up up with a group name…

Thanks Carla!!! :flowerforyou:

Hi! I'm here! How are you doing??? :happy:

YES! Absolutely! It's so much fun! You'll be hooked! Enjoy!:flowerforyou:

LOVE ZUMBA!!!!! I used to be an instructor - I also work full time, and it got to be too much. I still do Zumba on my own and take class when I can. It's great fun and I LOVE all the music - it's completly energizing! Never feels like you are exercising - but if you have a good instructor you can burn 500 - 1,000…

bump! :flowerforyou: We need more friends to join our board!

My basement! My treadmill is down there along with a weight bench, hand weights, etc. I also have a small tv w/a dvd player and I watch my Zumba dvd's down there. I also use Jillian Michael's 30 day shred - not everyday, but just to incorporate it into my exercise. Variety is key for me! :flowerforyou:

Holla!!!!!! I'll be 41 in a few days and you are so right about that flipped switch! I'd be happy to join you on your journey to healthy! Friend me if you'd like! Good luck with your trainer!! :flowerforyou:

Hi! Yes - I"m in that boat too! Friend request being sent! :flowerforyou:

Hi Jackie - this is very well said! Feel free to add me! Lots of support and motivation here! :flowerforyou:

Good morning Ladies! Had a busy weekend here and happy to be back on these boards - it's my new faebook! Wanted to share what motivates me to lose my weight. I've been up and down with my weight loss for years. I start out very strong - eating right, planning my meals and writing everything down. Then after 10 lbs I stop…

Bump!

Hi everyone! My name is Fran and I'm 40 (to be 41 on 7/24). I'm married 14 years to my DH Ambrose and have 2 boys (Anthony 10 and Christopher 8). They are my world! I've sadly gained back 27 lbs over the winter - I'm a stress/emotional eater. I found MFP on a WW message board - I was thinking of joing WW online but really…

AMEN!! You said it! :happy:

Right there with ya! 14 years of marriage and 2 kids (boys) later - my 40lbs came back! I just told my oldest son last night - "Yeah when I met daddy I was 125 lbs and gained 10lbs of "happy fat" and I thought I was fat back then!" LOL My hubby is using MFP and I really don't want to know what he will lose - he's been the…

No I didn't get Flowlink - I'm not sure the FT4 works with it....

Drink lots of water - your body may just need hydration! I've also found that high-fiber foods and protein are best! Some examples: Chobani yogurt - 14g protein Almonds Kashi Go Lean Cereal - I eat this every morning for breakfast! Veggies - healthy and fiberous! You can make a nice dip with plain chobani yogurt and a…

Thanks everyone! I did buy it with the hopes of pushing msyelf to burn more and more calories!!! :happy:

I just ordered the FT4 and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival from Amazon! How do all of you like it?? :flowerforyou:

I was a HUGE diet soda fan - especially diet Pepsi! After reading several articles from these message boards, I gave it up too! One article I read said that it makes you gain weight. I've been up and down with my weight so many times - I figured I'd try losing with out it. So far so good! I don't miss it. I will save it…
