    I've been doing zumba for almost two years. I went from a tight size 18/20 to a comfortable size 14. I stopped weighing a long time ago so I haven't updated that for awhile.

    I love Zumba! I've been on my weight loss journey since April 2012. With MFP and Zumba I've lost 60 pounds! If you'd like to see a before and after pic feel free to look through my profile. I don't go to the gym and I don't run or jog, only exercises I engage in is Zumba and walking my dog :happy:

    I've been doing Zumba since March, 2012. I've lost 30 pounds & countless inches. I feel better, look better, & I'm not having the hormonal fluctuations that I've had in years past! :laugh: I've supplemented with push-ups & crunches when I can't work out.

    For those who want to give it a try, check our the ReFit ladies on youtube. They have put together several playlists that are amazing. They also have just released a DVD. Google them! You won't be sorry!

    I have both Zumba and Zumba II for Wii. I highly recommend Zumba II - it's fun! I think I'm going to try Zumba core next!

    yeb, i am another living proof that zumba really does help to reduce weight. before i start using myfitnesspal app i was around 89kg with a bulging tummy barly able to fit into my work pants anymore but now after 2 months of zumba i drop to 85/6kg.

    I admit i'm a zumba nut tho. i zumba 5 days a week averaging 60 mins / day.

    To those guys who are shy in doing zumba in a class, my suggestion is that you can do it at the privacy of your home as well. just look for youtube vids of zumba and start from there. you can give me a PM and will be glad to help~ However it is still more fun if you can attend a class tho.

    Try Zumba, I'm honestly upset when I don't get to go to my classes due to scheduling/childcare reasons - it's that fun!!

    I do three Zumba classes per week, and some strength training.

    Down 52 pounds, at my goal weight, and I'm 8 pounds lighter than I was before I got pregnant.

    I think I am the only person in history that started doing Zumba and ended up gaining 20 lbs over 3 years. Don't know how that happened. Sigh.

    Hello!

    Luuuuurve zumba. Started in September 2010, and now am a qualified instructor :) Went from 16 stone (224lb) to just over 10 stone (141lb). Largely zumba, but strength training has played a significant part in shaping up the last bits and bobs over the past six months.

    You look amazing! Awesome! Your start weight is where I started a few months ago, so you totally give me inspiration and motivation that I can do it too! I feel so often that its slow going, but seeing your pics makes me excited that I can do it! Thanks for sharing!

    I do Zumba Exhilarate DVD's @ home 6x/wk, for an hour cardio (Exhilarate, Mix, Concert or Activate and Rush together --I mix it up as I get bored). Every other day I also add Zumba Ripped (toning and Sentao) + the 1 hr cardio for a total of 2 hours. I've been doing Zumba @ home now for almost 3 weeks and I love it. My hubby and kids, bought me Zumba Fitness 2 - Wii for Mommy's Day so I'm going to mix that in there as well. :smile:

    Prior to this I was doing JustDance 1-4 - Wii @ home 6x/wk for 2 hrs for the 2 1/4 months.

    I started with Zumba, lost most of my weight with it. Took me about 5 months of it & then I started running. I lost about 25kg with zumba.

    No pics, but Zumba definitely helps. I do it most days and have the DVDs - original and Exhilarate. I love to rotate days between the the toning stick routines and the cardio workouts. There's a definite difference in muscle definition which is better than if I'd purely been eating less calories. I've actually discovered pointy bones on my shoulders, elbows and knees. LOL

    I have a Zumba sucess story but dont have pics right now. Lost 50lbs over 6-8 months doing nothing but Zumba. Ive been doing it for 4 years now and Im looking into doing other stuff for a change up. I still have 30lbs to lose and Im going to lift more and try running. Its an awesome awesome way to burn some fat. I loved it so much I became an instructor

    About 9 months ago, I started doing Zumba 4 days a week in conjunction with strength training and lost 50 pounds. I'm now a Zumba instructor myself and I love it! However, like anything else, it is good to mix it up with other forms of fitness to challenge yourself and keep the dreaded plateau at bay. If you wanna stick with Zumba there are different specialties that give a great caloric burn as well and help you strengthen and tone ( i.e Zumba Toning, Aqua Zumba, and Zumba Sentao). I haven't posted anything in a while but I'm about 20 pounds less than my profile pic now. Best of luck to you :happy:

    What is the Zumba Sentao? My instructor (the best in northern Colorado ;^P) is certified in toning, zumbatomic, aqua and gold. And now I'm hearing about Sentao...? She just added some toning/ab exercises to class Monday night (it was optional to stay), so maybe it has to do with core strengthening? I'll ask her tonight.

    I've been doing Zumba for over three years, but I can't vouch for the weight loss, because I cut down from 3 days a week to 2, because of family and money. So, I think my weight loss was mostly from dieting. But, I can say that my endurance has increased! When I started, I could barely make it through a class. Now, I can do all the bouncy songs, and not lose my breath.

    Zumba with a chair, great work out!

    I started working out 2 months ago doing different things. I mainly was doing aqua classes due to back and shoulder injuries from flipping a car years ago. That being said, I was doing Aqua Zumba 2-3 times a week and I have recently started doing land Zumba 2x/week. Although I have results not solely based on Zumba but a combination of classes and things, I have lost 11.4lbs and over 20 inches (I didn't start measuring until I was a month in on working out). I recommend Zumba for a fun workout. It's intense but fun. The aqua zumba classes are also fun. I wore my HRM the past 3 weeks in Zumba on land and I usually work out the 30mins-1hr before class on stationary bike, stair climber or treadmill. With a mixture of those and class I have consistenly burned over 1000+ calories on the days I do Zumba in about a 2 hr time frame.

    I bought a HRM, too, and I wear it for every class. I'm consistently burning 800-950 calories an hour, depending on if I know all of the songs or if we're learning new stuff.
