The Merits of Zumba Games
Hi all! I got Zumba World Party for the Wii U at the end of January, and have spent the last month playing it at least 4 days a week, for about 35-45 minutes a day. Since I've started I've lost 7 pounds in combo with calorie counting! I also picked up Zumba Fitness Core on a whim yesterday, but I can't really find any…

Back in the Saddle!
I'm BACK. Took a hiatus...gained a ton of weight. Stress, medication and....I'm ashamed to say....laziness on my part. My current plan is to lose 60 pounds, hopefully within a year and a half. I did this once before, but I'm older now...I'm going to need as much moral support as I can get!

Advice please...Gaining, not losing!
Firstly, this isn't a question about my health, but of someone very close to me. Not mentioning names on her request. I have a very close friend who joined MFP at the beginning of January. She's about 50 years old, 5'11, and at that point was about 265. Having seen my success, she wanted to see if the site could help her…

Chores that burn!

Don't know why this made me feel good, but NSV!
So I was sitting here having a small snack of Baked Tostitos and taco sauce. I counted out the chips, and added another half serving, mostly cause I thought I'd want them. After finishing the taco sauce off, I noticed that I had my half serving of chips still. I just put them back in the bag. Yay self control!

*~ Gamers In Control~* Open Group!
Hi! If you're here, you're a gamer. You spend your free time enjoying the beautiful stories of RPG's, or racking your brain with puzzle games, or even bouncing along with a good platformer. Maybe you spend your days pwning n00bs in an FPS, or playing an online MMO. You might even roll funny-shaped dice with your friends on…

My little success...
This was me on July 2, 2011. This was before I had joined MFP, before I had decided to improve my lifestyle. It was an open house day at my martial arts school, and they took this picture of me. I was about 233 pounds here. A little later that month, my friend Heather told me about MFP. I was tired of being big and chunky,…

My first NSV!
Walked into Old Navy today, where in the past I've been a solid size 18. Saw a groovy pair of retro flares, but the biggest they had were 16's....tried them on and they fit perfect. :) In fact, they're actually a tad big...but I paid 9 dollars for them, so no complaints there!

Hitting rock bottom...
Help ><! I'm really really discouraged right now...I started out here eating around 1200 calories, realized I needed to eat more, started eating more, exercising as much as I could, and I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. I weigh myself daily, and have been fluctuating between the same 6 pounds for what feels like…

Salad topping
Yesterday, I made a really tasty, simple salad topping that not only was delicious, but low calorie. Oh, and it satisfied my craving for potato chips. :p I took about a third of a serving of potato chips (flavored ones work best, I used maui sweet onion), crushed them up really fine, and tossed them in a skillet with about…

Martial arts?
Ok, so I am currently a student of Minna-Jiu-Jutsu, which is practical street self defense. According to MFP, this activity burns 1168 calories (just as generic martial arts) for an hour and a half. After having read that MFP tends to go high, I dropped that number back to about 750. I can't really afford a heart rate…

Something delicious!
Hi all! I just made something pretty darn tasty that I'd like to share with you all. Mix 1 tbsp. of Jiff Creamy peanut butter with 1 Tbsp. of clover honey. Nuke in the microwave for about 10 seconds, stir in a dash of cinnamon, and spread on apple slices. Nice hit of fiber, and a grand total of 235 calories. :)

In desperate need...
Ok, so I've been on MFP for a few months now. Started out eating 1200 calories, learned from my mistakes, learned to eat a little more and eat some of my burned exercise calories back. Learned not to be so hard on myself, to drink water lots of water and more if I had too much sodium in my system. Learned it was ok to…

Ok..so...
What can I eat to get in more calories with minimum sodium and fat? lol I'm still short of where I want to be by about 300 calories. ><!

A little stuck here...
Here is my issue. I've been on MFP since late July, which is my first real attempt at weight loss in my life. I work retail as management, so I'm on my feet a lot. I also do martial arts 2 to 3 times a week, which constitutes a decent portion of my exercise. I have lost weight, and I've noticed my clothes fitting looser.…

New to this!
Hey all! I've been on MFP for a couple months now, but this is the first time I've tried to post anything. I'm making a concerted effort to lose weight, in the interests of an eventual black belt in my martial arts style. I've been logging every day, and have noticed a sizable difference in how my clothes fit. (Hooray!)…
