.......but you had a go! Well done Matt!

Salsa dancing!!!! You really know how to charm a girl - first you lure me with enormous step counts and then you go to salsa...

Don't worry if you do not get the idea at first - it is such a lovely hobby that I promise you it is worth pursuing... Just remember that everyone in the room has been a beginner and they have probably been dancing for years.

It goes without saying - but you are doing really well at maintenance. Well done!

LOL! Don't you know it! Maybe I can practice while walking, I think my dog will make a great dance partner!

All salsa ever is is walking to music - walk 6 steps L,R,L, pause, R,L,R pause, repeat... Just like walking...

I think that your dog would love it too

Reading your diary is such an inspiration for me. Seeing someone else achieve what I want, showing it is possible.

Hi Jonom,

First of all congrats on your weight loss journey. Just curious, is this a joke or just a cheat day? I haven't read through your thread so I'm not sure if you are a jokester or not xD. Because in all seriousness, that's a lot of trash to eat haha.
