I added it to my exercises, based on the Zumba website it burns 550 cals per hour. I also calculated it on my hrm and it seems very accurate.

I typically don't "eat back" the calories. I just have a daily deficeit. As long as I am at my initial 1200 calories. Although if I am hungry I will eat, I just make sure it is "good" choices. Usually a good chance for me to get in more of those fruits and veggies.Good luck!

Just enter walking or running which ever you usually do. There will be options for speed etc.

I make something very similar, my family calls it Cabbage SToop!! Instead of the paste, I use juice and then I also add beef broth! It is a great anytime snack!!

I'm in, once a week is all I should be doing also. I hate the fluctuations!! I get them but I don't like em!! Last week I logged 8 hours of exercise and was excellant about eating, and that damn thing didn't budge! SERIOUSLY!!!! Then I wake up this am and sure enough my monthly visitor, which isn't really monthly so I;'m…

My suggestion would be to take a look at your exercise and really evaluate how you are spending your time. HONESTLY! Is your exercise aggressive and sweaty or passive? Are you able to talk during it? I might also suggest a personal trainer for a few sessions to help. It is very difficult to target a particular muscle…

Hi All!! I have been well onder way on my journey for a while now. I started at 350 and am currently 175!! WOOHOO!! Doing more today than have done in the forst 40 years of my life!! JUST GOT IN for man hour and 15 min. of snow shoeing!! WOW That is some serious caloric burn!! I have toodled around on and off on this site…

I would agree it is your rate of exertion, the harder your breathing the more you're burning..

This sounds delish!! Thanks for sharing!!

I have been at this for over 1 1/2 years now, I have daily deficiets. Make sure you are getting your minumum calories in never go below 1200. On days that I work out for 3 hours, there is no way I could phyically eat there recommended calories. But I listen to my body, eat lots of protein, and keep well hydrated. you will…

I started with the Lesilie sanson walk away the pounds videos. I loved them because I could adjust to my level, pump it harder, incorpoate hand weights etc. I live in cold and snowy Wis. myself so workouts out side are hard now. I just took up snow shoeing, burns about 600 cals per hour! my rule is over 30 I go outside…

My favorite new snack!!! Steamed asparagus, dijon mustard and a little bit of oliveoil mayo, just sort of to taste! I brought it to work on Tuesday and they ate it up before anything else!! I like it it with just the dijon! good luck!!

Good for you!!! I just my first pair of size 12's i haven't EVER wore that sixe!! I know how great that feels!!! Keep it up!!:bigsmile:

Great suggestion! I do a Bender ball class and wasn't sure what to enter either. So I used low impact aerobics as my entry.

Go with the Enell, Oprah's suggested them forever too!! They are the bomb! They will last through more then a 10lb weight loss. A bit more expensive than others but worth every penny!

I wish I could get my leg up there!! lol Lisa

The huge metropolis of Hartford, Wi checking in with a beautiful---- cold-wet and 38! Someday will be spring but not before LATE April I'm sure!! Lisa

Don't beat your self up! We are all entitled to live a little too!! If that is what you like to you go girl!! But now your back to reality, so hop back on the wagon and get losing again!! You can do it!! PS> I hope you made it worth the cheat!!:)) Lisa

How about just very light weight dumbells, 2-5 lbs. and just repetition of basic moves??

That sounds fabulous! I will try it tomorrow.Those throw together recipies are always my favorites!! Count me in on the no fast food thing, including in there any convience foods! I just picked up my first copy of Clean Eating, what a great magazine. I am up for the challenge!! Lisa

I think it equates to a pinch!!:0)

Oh Princess, I am still giggling at the accounts of your triumpf!!! Way to go, you may have just inspired me to do the same, come this fall, I believe I will be ready!! I won't have any more of a clue than you did! Thanks for the laugh and INSPIRATION!!! Lisa

If you are working out a gym, I love the Lat pull down machine, as well as the chest presses, these 2 have helped me alot!! ALso use the dumbell overhead, lower the weight down to your shoulder and back up, helps with the extra wave when your done waving thing!! Keep working it you'll get it!! Good luck!! Lisa

Way to go! Those are stringent exercise goals! But just goes to show it does work! And I thought erveryone was lying to me all those years!! lol Lisa

I would be thrilled to weigh less that my drivers liscense, as a matter of fact I would like to weigh what my drivers liscense says I do!! And it isn't outdated I just lied to them!! lol Lisa ps. I think I dont have hip bones!!

Wow this sounds great but holy sugar! I wonder if that could be cut any more?? Thanks for all your food posts I am always looking for new ideas! Lisa

That is an awesome point!! I totally don't think amout sodium intake when I step on the scale after having lost just to find I gained it back, then weigh again to see it gone. I am always like what the heck!! Women and water retention sucks!! I definately need to moniter my salt! Thanks for the reminder!! Lisa

I love peanut butter, is there a brand that anyone feels is the best ie: healthy-taste-calories-etc. thanks Lisa

wow we must have been typing at the same time!! Ditto back at ya!!

I always weigh myself at the same time every morning. I use this for accountability, but my official weigh in is once a week on Sat. am, so as the day to day number might fluctuate at the end of the week is my official number! Which I might add has been consistently down since De. 18 when I started. Yeah!! 28 lbs. lost!!!
