Zumba?

I just joined the site yesterday and I'm wondering if zumba is a good way to lose weight. I've been trying to get down to 130 lbs from 140 and I usually jog 1 mile every other day, do yoga occasionally, and dance. But still it doesn't seem like I can shave the inches off my waist.

Is Zumba fun and does it keep people motivated for those who use it?

    I ♥♥ Zumba! I have been doing it for about 1 month now 3x a week. I burn around 550-600 calories a 1 hour class. I have only lost about 2 pounds, but im firming up and I have lost 2 inches off my waist, and my clothes are starting to get loose im almost down a pants size.
    I love it cause that hour just goes by so quick and it doesnt seem like a "workout" ... it's just plain fun!! If I cant make it to a class I go on to youtube and do a bunch of videos on there here at home.
