    I'm in - I have Zumba Party for the XBox Kinect but I've been slacking lately - this should give me the impetus to get back to it.

    I am in....I have Zimba for the Wii and that is how I zumba......would love a challenge to help keep me on task!


    I would like to know how you calculate your calories burnt with the wii zumba. Does it have to do with the points at the end?

    Heart rate monitor is likely to be more reliable than that. I use a heart rate monitor to log my calorie burn.

    Go to Zumbacalories.com punch in your details and it works them out pretty accurately x

    I'm in!!!!! I love Zumba and I try to get in 6 days a wk. Kinect Zumba is amazing. Does anyone else have it? I'm wondering if my "party energy" is my calories burned.

    Count me in on the Zumba challenge. I just started attended my first Zumba class tonight and I love it. I am getting the DVDs to do at home when I can't make the class.

    I'll give another little update soon but just wondered, I've been doing Zumba on average every other day, with a few days off here or there because of muscle pain and time of the month, but I seem to have put weight ON. I did lose 10lbs last Summer with Zumba on XBOX which I did an hour every night but that's since gone back on. I try to only weigh myself once a week and I write it down.

    I'm eating well and including more fruit but I think I've gained a kilo!!!! I've lost like 1 inch off my waist but my clothes are still tight.

    Any thoughts?

    How is everybody getting on with the challenge? In my other post I mentioned weight gain, but it seems to be dropping now at last. plus Zumba is becoming part of my life.

    15th June - 1 hour Zumba
    16th June - 4 mile walk
    17th June - Long walk

    Going to do another hour tonight and maybe everyday for the next 4 days just to change it up a bit.

    Hi everyone! Sorry I disappeared for a while - MFP wasn't working on my laptop (not sure why!) so I was only able to access MFP from my phone to input calories. Everything seems to be fixed now, though!

    I was hoping for a weekly check-in, but given my absence, I think a huge check-in at the end should be fine.

    I've done zumba every Tues/Thurs thus far, with the exception of one week. No weight coming off yet, but I've been a plateau for a while so I don't expect it to be easy...
