I use the polar FT4 and I love it. It was relatively cheap and can be used for swimming too. I believe as well that if you're doing resistance/strength training, although you wont burn as many cals during your workout, your body continues to burn more to repair the muscles. So, don't get disheartened when you see a small…

I've been on a plateu for about three weeks. I upped by calories by 200 a day but eating metabloism boosting foods like; berries, strawberries and green veg. It's worked well for me this last week! Good luck.

I'm a psychiatric nurse, specialising in Eating Disorders. (that might explain some of my weight gain) :-)

Feel free to add me too! initial goal 28kg loss, goal now - 12.7kg :-) MFP will be great for you!

I only eat back my excercise calories if I am Hungry. MFP has my goal at 1.7lbs a week but on a good week I can loose 2-2.8lbs.

Well I had my first weigh in since starting the challenge. Starting weight 185.7 Current :183.5 Very disappointed with that weight loss as it's over three weeks. Kinda disheartened with Zumba because of it, I ate very well and exercised my *kitten* off! Back on the treadmil at the gym for me :-(

Yeah, I'm finding I know the cardio party off by heart. Although this has been good thing as it means I am working harder rather than concentrating on what I am meant to be doing. I think I will get bored of it after a few more weeks though. I think the exhilarate package may be on my Christmas list :-)

I create my own excercise and use www.zumbacalories.com to calculate how many calories I've burnt. It says I burn a hell of a lot and I think it may overestimate a tad but it's still a fair guide.

Is that since you started the challenge a week ago?! That's awesome. Well done. Any tips?

Just off to do 50 mins Cardio Party. Is anyone here using the exhilarate DVD package? I'm quite tempted to buy it as I'm just using the old set.
