You are doing fabulous! You are on that last ten pounds...my understanding is those are the hardest to tackle. Don't know...have a ways to go. :) Anyway, hang in there! You can make it. Take your measurements, maybe you have some inches falling off that is not reflective when you jump on the scale. I've found if I mix up my food (I have a tendency to eat the same stuff), drink the water as Opera mentioned and follow the great advice from dwagner of eating a bit more (of the right stuff), it does help. Also, keeping a weight loss magazine and/or book around tends to keep me motivated. Wish you the best!!

Carefree

Hi there! Yes, I do love the Wii Active and it can be quite a work out! I do admit that I don't use it as much as I should. :) I have been on thyroid medication since 1995 for my hypothryoidism. Weight has been a constant battle for me. Good for you...keep at it! You can do it!

I concur! I too love flip flops or my flip "crocs". Haven't had lemon drops in years! Takes me back a day or two.

For me it was stepping on the scale and seeing that I was twice the woman my husband married. My knees hurt to walk up and down stairs, my feet hurt due to tendonitis and falling arches and I just did not have any energy. I finally got focused around June 1, found an exercise that I can do and have stuck with it. Still have a ways to go before I get to my goal and I know I'll not hit the pre-wedding weight of 28 years ago! :) And, I'm OK with that!

Welcome to FatSecret! Good luck to all!

Super! Thank you for sharing the article! Marketing the products can also be deceiving.

Enjoyed the article, very interesting.

I like my glass of wine...which is why I chose South Beach! :) I will admit, I haven't had any wine since I started the program but I'm in Phase II now and it's allowed. (I think one glass...) I do think you will lose faster if you don't indulge but if you stay within your calorie range and/or exercise, I'll think you'll be OK. You have to view your program (diet) as a life change and it isn't fair/fun to give up what you enjoy. You do have to watch out for the mixers...they can sneak up on you! Maybe try lighter or diet mixers. As with all things, moderation. :)

Thanks for the tips! Breakfast is my favorite meal and yet I have trouble finding time! Notorious for skipping it too!

Hi there...I'm no expert but I believe they say you should eat something at least every four hours. I totally understand you getting full on very little food! I've been drinking 8 - 12 cups a water a day and I really feel full! :) Have a great day and good luck!

Good for you! I don't do Zumba but have a friend that totally loves it! Does that count? ;-) Maybe I'll look for a DVD to do it at home. Enjoy!
