My sister swears by that thing! She started losing weight back in September and is down over 50 pounds now!

I'm jealous of your sister... she's got me beat! hahaha

I use sparkepeople.com and love it for the same reasons, plus their recipe site is awesome too.

Oh, I love their recipes too! I didn't figure their site out, as well as myfitnesspal, but I may not have given it as much of a chance, at the time either. I do still get daily emails with really good recipes though

I actually STOPPED using myfitnesspal, even though I promoted it to to everyone. Reason being, I didn't want to step on the scale. (bwock bwock) I've started Crossfit, I was hitting Zumba and hip hop hustle, I was taking Plyo. My strength has soared, my muscles, I can actually see them develop and I flex in the mirror, enjoying the momentum. However, I've stepped on the scale and the thing hasnt budged. Maybe it never will (and im not being pessimistic, just realistic) It's all in my head, the number game, but I'm thinking this: if I ate normal, and did light workouts, maybe the scale would slide down. But I know my thighs have gotten more muscular, same thing with my arms. So I shouldn't expect to see the scale move down too much while my body is re organizing itself. Off da scale.

Yes scales are evil! Sparkpeople allows you to take monthly measurements along with weighing in, or not weighing it at all! I lost some inches in the waste and thighs but not in my arms... I was bummed. I've been doing some 'yoga' push ups and head stands lately, and I finally see a decrease in my arm flab! WHOOO HOOO!!!

Down with arm flab!!!

Try dragonfly.... after last night, my arms are killing me from that!!!

I do have to say I suffered and struggled through half moon posse as well. My balance is TERRIBLE this week!!!

Balance? What's that??? I have not had good balance since I ruptured my inner ear 14 yrs ago... Now all I have to do is stand on our deck.. look up to the sky and I start falling backwards.... Yikes!
I am struggling with get this.. Orchard Blend TRAIL MIX from BJs<< I absolutely love it. It is actually pretty healthy for me in moderation... but..I will eat a whole bag in 2 days... Replacing meals with a bowl full. The snow is gone here soo I have been gardening like a bandit.. mowing, planting, you name it... and my weight has been steadily coming off. I was scared of getting on the scales this morning but to my surprise... I dropped another pound YEAH!!!... The trail mix didn't do me in. BUT.. I haven't tested my sugar (type 2 diabetes) in months because my dr wrote a scrip for a type that my insurance company doesnt pay for. It is my fault for not calling to straighten this out I know...and I am hoping that because the weight is coming off that my sugar is dropping along with it. Thus the concern for my undieing love for that stupid trail mix.. lol oh and I forgot to mention the soda crackers... yep... been craving them too.. I am a weirdo....

My torturer hasn't introduced me to the dragonfly, I'll have to look that one up.

She does love the dolphin though, and an especially "nice" version combining the dolphin and downdog.

I looked up dragonfly, yes I have attempted unsuccessfully that one, just didn't know it's american name, and don't even remember it's Indian name. I say attempted it was actually more like watching her tell me what to do w/ me laughing hysterically while muttering you want me to put what where!
