    Hi! I would like to join please!! My FI bought me the Zumba on Kinect for Valentines day and I've been really getting into it this past week. I gained about 20 pounds in the last year or so .. just tried on the wedding dress I bough a year and a half ago - doesn't f***ing fit me! So now I'm panicing, because I get married June 26th and the fitting is June 11th! If this board isn't enough motivation, that wake up call was. Basically, I need to lose 10-15 pounds in the next month and a half. COUNT ME IN. Did Work out #1 Intermediate 45 minutes (#1). I don't remember my points. 455ish. :) That was last night and this morning I did Intermediate #2 for 45 minutes. Are you guys eating more calories because you are burning so much? I really just want to stick to my 1200...

    Yes.. eat back your calories. If you eat too little it could actually have a reverse effect on you and you could gain. I know there is a thread somewhere that tells you this. MFP already builds in a deficite for calories based on your profile therefore once you work out add it in and eat back! Sometimes I'm under 100 or so but try to get close!

    Hi! I'd like to join, I bought zumba for kinect a week or so ago but haven't worked out at all (have been very sick and on antibiotics) I can't wait to try it, I am starting to feel somewhat better and I plan on working out tomorrow :)

    One question though, how do I figure out how many calories burned?
    I will add stats later...

    Best thing to do to find out calories burned is get a HRM. MFP will guesstimate on yours by your profile but it's not exact. I didn't spend alot on mine. Got a MIO for about $30 at Academy and it works great!

    So I have lost a total of 5lbs doing Zumba so far.
    but I need the motivation to keep going, I am getting a little bored of the DVDs
    Idk maybe cause I do zumba everyday? I'm thinking of mixing it up and walking more
    Anyway today I did the 20min Cardio workout
    And also the Zumba Cardio Party 50min. I must say its funny goingbfrom high energy samba to doing the american mix lol
    Throws me off sometimes :-)

    Workout #5 - Activate dvd
    Burned 646 calories.

    Tried a few minutes of the mix dvd - moves from all over the world. Could NOT keep up! Maybe it's best if I stick to the voice instructed dvd's for a while and don't let my enthusiasm get ahead of my ability!

    Keep it up guys!

    One week in. One lb gone.

    Workout #7 this afternoon
    Activate dvd
    Burned 557 calories

    Going to try and squeeze in a workout tomorrow morning, then I'm off out of town overnight to celebrate my father's 25th wedding anniversary. There is going to be pizza and ribs and the wine will probably not stop flowing. Wish me luck!

    Happy weekend everyone!

    Workout #8 - Activate dvd
    burned 745 cals

    Dragged my tired sorry *kitten* out of bed at 6:30am to get a workout in before hubby had to leave for work. Yikes! I don't typically work out on the weekend due to lack of time, but I needed to make room for today's anniversary visit with my dad. Pizza, ribs and wine. And good thing I did, because looking at my diary today, I needed it!!!!

    Keep up the great work everyone!!!

    Real Salsa club?! Exciting! You'll have to let us know if the zumba moves translated to the dance floor!
