14 lbs13 Inches lost in 4 weeks by ZumbaProgress Pics!

As a Registered Nurse who graduated in the top 10% of her class, I think you are doing fantastic. You will know when to up your calories and when to eat them back. Do not let *****es on this site ruin your motivation.

You're "promoting" Zumba and yoga, but the simple fact is your results came from starving yourself. Doctor's supervision or not, that's still what it is. Normal people with normal diets and calorie deficits will not have anywhere near the same results, plus a lot of that weight lost is a massive amount of water, so when you adjust your calories back up a lot of it will come back. No key is bashing you personally, just pointing out to others that the way you achieved your results is unrealistic for other people.

You could've done 90 minutes of ANY cardio exercise with the incredibly low calorie diet you are on and had the same results.

Im not starving myself...I still eat and I eat a RAW Vegan diet that is Gluten free under the supervision of a nutritionist and a doctor. Once I lose the initial weight my workouts will be reduced with the same amount of calorie intake As I said, everyone is different. People lose weight at different rates. you guys are not familiar with my battles and challenges or my health conditions. Everyone has their own opinion , this was a success story for me. I posted it because I have worked hard to achieve MY results and I am proud of them. I posted the pictures because I am proud of what i have accomplished! Not to tell everyone they will look like me if they do Zumba. In my original post all is said was to do zumba and yoga and they will see results. Will they be as extreme as mine? Probably not, but its still encouraging healthy excersize. I never once encouraged anyone to be on the diet I am on with my level of activity. That is clearly written on my profile.

Your profile is private, so no one can see disclaimers.

And you really shouldn't tell people that they will see results if they do yoga and zumba under false pretenses. without the full story, you have made deceptive claims.

I just put my profile on private because of this. i didnt make deceptive claims. you are picking this apart to be something more than it is. I was posting MY success story. My own personal success. not yours or anyone elses... everyones results are different. Everyone has a different STORY. If I choose not to divulge my WHOLE entire medical problems on MFP , which i dont feel is anyones buisness but my own, then that is my choice. I was proud of my results. And I posted them. Simple as that.

Wow!!! You look amazing!!!! Motivated me to try it too.

I believe there is a whole special section called motivation and support.

What was the motive behind posting the success story though? If you just wanted to get it out, and have it be known, keep it to your profile or a blog so then your friends would know and say. You did a great job. When you put it out there, with as little background information as you provided, you are promoting what you did to succeed as a method for all who read it. That includes those who are brand new, and have no idea how anything works, and come to the success story boards for motivation and ideas about how to drop some serious poundage.

There is a section called motivation and support. When most people post a success story , it because they are proud of what they have accomplished and want to share it with others.

I couldn't find your response in that.. Please make sure you put it outside of all the previous quotes.

In the community forum there is a section called motivation and support and another for Success stories. Was this successful for me and my situation. Yes. When most people post a success story , it because they are proud of what they have accomplished and want to share it with others .

Ok first of all Im not promoting a low calorie Diet. I am promoting doing zumba and yoga, which has proven results....

But previous to being called out, you expected others to thoroughly inspect it for disclaimers.

My apologies for nitpicking. In my professional career, I'm to nitpick everything. Because if I didn't scrutinize every last detail, I could kill someone. That's right. People put their lives in my hands on a daily basis.

Maybe next time, when you offer advice, make sure to put disclaimers. There's at least a dozen people who've replied, expecting results from doing exactly what you did. And who knows how many people are just lurking.

no i didnt lol I was just saying I lost weight with zumba. how many others have lost weight doing it? tons , thats why its so freakin popular.
