When I got my HRM in December I had the same dose of reality you are facing now. I thought 60 minutes of Zumba was definitely burning 900-1000 calories. No such luck. According to my HRM I burn between 500-650 depending how hard I push myself. Walking, especially when you aren't increasing your heart rate much, doesn't…

I am in the same boat. Lots of folks seem motivated for a few weeks and then I never hear another thing. Would love to be friends with anyone looking to keep each other motivated!

Congrats on the engagement and the decision to lose weight the healthy way! I joine MFP two months ago because of my engagement and upcoming Sept. 7 wedding.

Getting married September 7, 2012 and it has been a great motivator! I started my journey 7 weeks ago today and am down 24 lbs. so far. I have a long way to go but I am feeling great and hope to lose another 30 pounds by the time I get my dress. I am loving this thread!

A polar HRM (so excited!) and three personal training sessions. I also ordered the 30 day shred and new workout pants for myself with an Amazon gift card from a friend. What a wonderful Christmas!
