bbg200[/B]~ I've just started getting more into sweet potatoes, I still have a hard time with the texture, but they're pretty yummy! How often do you get Zumba in?
[B] Today's Question~ Favorite exercise, what is it and how often do you do it?[/FONT]
i was the same but there best skinned cut in half and roasted in the oven they go all soft and yummy!.. and i love them as chips in the oven.. cut them into finger sided strips an leave them in the oven for about 30/40min depending on how thick. yum!
my fav exercise has to be zumba!! only been doing it the past 2ish weeks i try and do it twice aweek but money is alittle low so ive got myself a zumba dvd for the days i cant go
To keep away from sweets, I keep them out of the kitchen, and out of the house. If I have a sweet craving, I drink 1/2 a glass of dark chocolate almond milk (Silk almond milk is my favorite), or I eat a chocolate or caramel rice cake with 1 tbls of cool whip. Both always work, and then my craving is gone. I find now that I haven't had a real sweet treat in awhile, that I really do not crave them much anymore.
As for favorite comfort food, I love chili in the fall! I make a chili-like rendition of the Biggest Loser Turkey Goulash that is super filling, and very low in calories and carbs. I have made it for friendly gatherings and such, and everyone always loves it, and wants seconds! One of my close friends even begged me to make it for her birthday last year! If anyone wants to recipe, I will gladly give it to them
Favorite exercise.... I love any cardio! I run at the gym about 5 times a week, and then I love taking walks at the park with my boyfriend on the weekends. He usually plays disc golf too, and I bring my little dog, and we make a day of it, especially now since the weather is perfect!
My answer for fav exercise has also got to be zumba Working out to dvds now (Zumba Cardio Party & 20-min Express) about 2 or 3 times a week, usually about 30-35 min.
Krizstyling: When I started losing weight this time I did something similar with my husband. I was like why didn't you say I was getting as big as a house? Of course if he actually had he might be short a few teeth now. LOL!
princessdi86: That's a great loss!
Today's Question: My favorite exercise is lifting weights. I was never a fast runner and I suck at sports, but I gained strength and muscle pretty quickly. It was always great to squat with as much weight as the guys!
KimL1214 – I haven’t had the greatest 2 weeks ever but I hope to be getting back on track soon. It’s more frustrating than anything else but I’m learning to deal with it. Did you make it to the Halloween Dance?
southernbelle102 – I noticed in another thread you were starting on some supplements. How are they working out for you?
bbg200 – with all that activity it would be great to see a loss for the week
ferretgirl – Sorry to hear about your loss. It was sweet of you to make the video.
Princessdi86 – Congratulations on your loss, that’s awesome!
Favourite Comfort Food – I’m definitely the same as a lot of other people in this regard. I love carbs and my downfall has always been Pasta and Pizza. I’ve never been able to stick to just the one serving. I try and limit the amount I’m having now by using a High Fibre Spaghetti and making my own Homemade pizza. I’m avoiding store bought pizza all together as I know I won’t be able to have just one slice.
Favourite Exercise – This used to be cycling. I can’t remember the last time I was able to get out and give it a go. I have an exercise bike sitting at home so hopefully I’ll be able to jump on that even if it’s just for 10 minutes every couple of days.
Peanut - I just started them so I am not sure if they have done anything yet. The guy at the store said that it can take a couple of weeks to get in the system. I will definitely keep you updated! (fingers crossed)
So, I never thought I'd be willing to post a before pic of me on this journey but here goes...
I took a photo a few weeks and 8 lbs ago and was comparing it to my "start" picture (380 lbs) and it hit me that I actually have lost weight. haha... it is crazy that it has taken me losing so much weight to actually realize there is in fact a difference i my appearance.
What do y'all think? The first one is of me at 380 and the second is of me at 313.
I still have a ton to lose but I feel that this is a good start.

I know I posted on your other thread too, but I think it deserves an extra congrats =) awesome job, you look really great!
I hate exercising and you can't make me like it! However, I walk pretty much everywhere I go - work, daycare, school, post office, grocery store... etc... and I weight train. I might start hitting the actual gym here soon when when my husband comes home from overseas. It'll be relaxing and not stressful if I don't have to juggle kids to go.
Thank you so much, Jelebelle and Peanut!! I can't wait to see the change after this challenge ends! I would love to see other team members progress pics so if you feel comfortable sharing... post away

Today's question: I danced for 10 years, and I think that dancing is still my favorite exercise. I don't really dance outside my room anymore, but I think next semester I'm going to start a tap class, so hopefully I'll be able to do that again. Right now, my favorite exercise is running. I've always been a terrible runner, and now that I've had some practice I love that I am improving and often can run as long as I want to instead of running as long as my body can take it. I try to run at least three times a week.
southernbelle102: Wow you look great! Congratulations!
Working out to dvds now (Zumba Cardio Party & 20-min Express) about 2 or 3 times a week, usually about 30-35 min.
