Well, if your teacher gave you chocolate milk as a lunchtime treat, she was (unknowingly) giving you one of the most powerful…

So my question... Whats the one thing (your guilty pleasure maybe) that you cant eat just one of? Mine obviously is Animal…

Zumba
I just found out that my gym offers Zumba classes on Saturday mornings from 10:15 - 11:15 and I have decided that I am going to get myself out of bed to get to these classes. I have heard such amazing things from women that are doing Zumba. My only question is how do I log Zumba in my exercise log? How are the rest of you…

Need support...
I have been going at this for a couple of months and have done decent on my own, I am 6 lbs. lighter. But I have always just done it to pass time. I was never 100% committed.

Bring it on Jillian!
So since starting myfitnesspal about 6 months ago, I will have weeks where I am very determined and will log in every day to make sure I am within my calorie goals.

Attitude Change.... So proud!
Yesterday was such an accomplishment for me and I think that if I don't acknowledge it now, I won't repeat it. I had a pretty awful day food wise yesterday, I was just so hungry and couldn't stop eating. For the most part it was good food (minus the almond joy ) but it was just so much. I have a goal of 1200 calories a day…

Where in the world did my motivation go?
Ahh! It's been a really long and strange month for me. At the end of June I was down 10 lbs and feeling great.
