    YAY!!! ONEderland and 51 lbs thats so awesome!. I was nosey and peeked at your diary. How in the world do you burn so many calories at zumba, do you use a HRM? Im just curious because Iv taken various classes wearing my HRM and I dont even get close to 400 & Im near your weight Im 170.
    Anyway keep up the good work!!!

    I'm at 161 pounds and I take zumba 2-3 times weekly. I wear a Polar FT7 HRM and always burn 400-450 calories each time. I have gone to another instructor's class and burned only 150 calories. It really depends on your instructor and her/his routines.

    My instructor wears a HRM when she teaches..so I usually go by that. There is also a website called http://www.zumbacalories.com/ ..it goes by weight and intensity. My girl said it can be hard to tell with HRT because it doesnt take your movment into consideration. hope this helps! :)

    I wear a Polar too but its older, it definitely does depend on your instructor I agree.

    Thank you for the website Im gonna check it out. I was like wow I wanna burn as much as her haha. Iv taken really intense aerobic/dance/kickboxing kinda of mixed classes too & my HRM only tells me I do 500ish usually and I thought she was tough.
    Good for you though on your accomplishments its very exciting & your an inspiration for sure!

    This is so great!!!! Yeah for you! I set weekly goals for myself and look forward to Mondays, which are my weigh-in days. My first ultimate goal is to break through that 200lbs wall. Glad for you! I am on my way too. :happy:
