I work (part time) at our local Y. I am a Zumba Instructor, but I love the other classes and utilize the weight rooms and cardio as well. I love it :)

Add me if you would like! I was in the same boat a couple of years ago and Zumba was my saving grace! I lost from 310-188, but now I'm back up too around 210! I workout at least four days a week and try to eat right most of the time :). I know you can do this! Just set some mini-goals and get on it :)!

feel free to add me anytime :)!

alice springs chicken...including boneless, skinless lightly seared chicken breast in olive oil, then baked with bacon, mushrooms, homemade honey mustard, and 2% cheese :)

gorgeous! so proud of you!

Hey there! feel free to add me if you would like! I have complete faith that you will knock those 25 pounds right off and rock that body! :)

I will support as much as I can...getting back on track myself :)

I gotcha back if you wanna add me :)

yep...use this!

I am a Zumba Instructor, and you can in fact burn 1000 calories if you do roughly an hour and a half class. I weigh 204 and when I teach an hour, my HRM says 850 (mid impact, to the higher side), however, I tend to only log roughly 2/3 of that. I don't count warm up and cool down in the calories that I've burnt. A big…

If I say in my workout clothes (i sweat A LOT) , or go directly to a place and just veg, I get really cold. If I come home and shower and stuff, I'm normally good.

Ah, thanks for the info! I've had her dvd for a while, but I've not done it yet...I was like..um...I don't have 30 days straight to do this! I will start adding it into my workout this weekend...two days a week...and I teach Zumba as well, so hopefully that can count of my cardio!

I still eat pizza once a week or so. I changed to thin crust...it doesn't have quite the calories as a regular one. often times, I can exercise, and eat pizza, and it never even causes me to eat into any of my exercise calories...just saying.

Well, I don't have the problem of the boyfriend (which personally if he loves you, then what he did was crap!). But January of 2010, I weighed 310 pounds...diabetes and whatnot was starting to become apparent in the family and stuff, so I knew I had to lose! I got down to 188, then gradually back up to right around 200. I…

you look amazing! you are such an inspiration! :)

wow! you look absolutely amazing! :)

I don't have 'set' days that I workout...I have days that I teach Zumba...but the other days I just go on how my body feels. I worked out really hard thursday...did some new things like spin, step, etc, and I taught an hour of Zumba yesterday...so I am uber sore today. I am just gonna hit the pool. I think it depends on…

have you tried the low plank position just out of curiosity? I started out at 305 pounds and I couldn't do the high plank at all...and I still have a hard time with it. I can do low plank and hold it for about 30 seconds...you could start with it...even if you can hold if 5 seconds, it makes a difference...and then…

Welcome! I like that you set a small goal for yourself first...I did the same and made me feel better to meet them along the way :)! best of luck in your journey, feel free to add me if you like! I've lost about 100 pounds (before I joined on here)...and I am working on about 25 more now! :)

I agree with the SPF's over 30...nothing over that really makes much of a difference. 2nd--was it the spray on sunscreen or lotion? I know that the spray on stuff does nothing for me...I have to wear the lotion. I put it on and let it set for about 20 minutes before I get in the pool and then I get out after a while, dry…

I used to be that way...but now where ever I go, I have one row that I park on...doesn't matter if it's close to the store or down at the end of the line...I park there and walk...and i never lose my car :)!

I love my MFP friends! I am hovering right around 200 pounds. I originally lost about 115, putting me down to 185, but with different things in my schedule I can't always eat and exercise the way I want, so it's crept back on some. I'm working on getting it back off though! feel free to add me if you want...and congrats on…

feel free to add me if you want...I'm here everyday and I try to get too as much of everyone's posts as I can :)! And no matter what, don't give up and keep the faith :)!

You are so NOT the enemy! You did what you needed to do, had to do and you are makin' it! Keep up the awesome work, I'm so proud for you! :)

You look awesome! keep up the amazing work!

I've been taking it since March 2010, and been an Instructor Since Oct 2010...I've lost 100 pounds. It's my addiction...as a matter of fact..I'm off to teach a class right now :)!

Well, eating enough calories does have something to do with it. You have to have a proper diet, but if you are only eating 400 calories a day and burning off double that or so, it can cause your body to hold on to everything you're eating. A lady at my gym just had this issue. She was eating around 400 a day and burning…

feel free to add me. I'm here everyday! I will do my best to motivate you :)!

you're doctor is crazy. you can do anything you set your mind too...you may just need to find that 'something'. for me, it was Zumba...and I've since lost 100 (before I started here...) since I started here, I've not lost a lot at all, so I understand your struggle...I need to lose around 25 more. Feel free to add me! Keep…

so glad you made it through...feel free to add me :)!
