I worked in an inner city school and this one african american women told me,"you're not fat, you're thick. If you were a couple shades darker, you'd be hot". I guess that was a compliment lol

I LOVE my Wii!!! I have the Wii Fit, Wii Active, and my Weight Loss Coach! Love them all. Especially the Wii Active. I have been using it everyday for about an hour and burn roughly 300-450 calories! I would say it is well worth it!

Just dance 2 has a workout feature that approximates calories burned with how hard you are dancing.

I am no where near my goal weight and am currently doing Insanity. While I take breaks more often, I love it. I burned 300 calories today from it. I am on day 3. It is an awesome workout and Shaun T really keeps you motivated:)

You will do great Cheryl!!! You got this:)

I usually just get the head of lettuce, cut up a pepper, onion, english cucumber, take fat free shredded cheese, wonton strips, and add 4 oz of lean steak or chicken and put on low fat honey mustard dressing. I love it and could eat it everyday and I think it was only 300 calories and it filled me up til afternoon snack!

I lost one pound, which I was worried because I gained 2 and thought for sure I wouldn't lose, but low and behold I did. Wasn't the 2 I was hoping for, but it is one more towards my goal. Keep going everyone, you are all doing great!!

Me! I would like to ultimately lose 70 but definitely 50!!

It depends. Yesterday I logged mine because I spent 3 hours at my aunts house doing heavy duty stuff without a break. I lifted, reached, bent over and then some and was actually sore more than I am some days working out. Now do I log my little wipe downs no, but if I am deep cleaning then yes I do. According to my HRM…

I am in the same boat. I started 2 weeks ago and lost 4 pounds only to gain 3 back and it is not budging:( I would say just drink more water and do what you're doing.

Thank you all for the replys! I will try what everyone is saying and weigh myself on Fridays only and see how that goes! I will let you all know on Friday! Thanks again for the encouragement:)

I thought that I would lose by only eating my bare minimum and not my exercise. My minimum is 1200 and with exercise usually it goes up to about 1500-1800. I would eat about 1000 calories. But, from what I have heard, this is probably hindering my results:(

Awesome! I did try it awhile ago but didn't have the time. I am thinking instead of a Wednesday, starting it on Monday and going all of the way. I need to lose this weight. I am also trying to eat most of my calories today and from now on. Last week I did terrific then for some reason I creep back up a pound or two:( I…

Oh and I do Wii Fit and Zumba. Tomorrow I am starting Insanity:)

Thank you all. I think that I am thinking the less i eat the better, which is probably screwing my body up:( Should I eat the calories I shed exercising? I am trying to drink water, usually about 56oz a day, but I am in a challenge to drink 64 so I have been. I usually eat lots of veggies and fruits, but, I do need to go…

Sounds great to me!!

I have a bad relationship with my scale. I am almost obsessed with stepping on it. I know I should probably only weigh myself once a week, but weigh myself sometimes twice a day. I do notice the one to two pound flux every once in a while and complain, but know that it is not really weight.

Hey everyone. My name is Jess. I started MFP last Monday and found this challenge. I am stoked. I lost 2 pounds this week. I think I need to increase my water though and then I could probably lose more:) Would love to make new friends too, so friend request me. Good luck everyone:)

HI. I mailed SummerJo earlier, but forgot to friend request her so I just did that. I want to join this please:) Thanks. My CW is 197.9!
