I just started crossfit but I wear my Body Media Fit so I don't have to look up what calories I burn during. The only time I really see a significant calorie burn while doing crossfit is when running is included in our class. I also walk the nights I don't go to crossfit, or if it is a class that has more lifting involved…

I'm 43 yrs old and I started my journey to a healthier me at 42! I have lost 65 pounds, ran 2 5K's, ran a half marathon and last night I tried my first Crossfit class! I went from a BMI of 32.6 (obese) to 23.6 (healthy)! I made a choice to make my 40's truly "fabulous"!!! I still have 9lbs to hit my goal. My motto during…

F/43/5'11"/SW-234/CW-169 - 18 months of hard work, dedication and determination...9 pounds to go to goal weight :smile:

"I'm WORTH it"

That is great...Cheers to you :))) I just did my first 2 miles straight last night!!!

@MeadowSong...I am 42 and it felt wonderful achieving 2 miles straight :))) I feel the most fit I have in forever and I still have a long way to go...but every day I feel stronger and better about myself!!! Thank you everyone for the congrats

WOOT, WOOT!!!! that is great...you should be proud of yourself :)))

Congrats on your weight loss!!! BE PROUD of it!!! Shout it to the world you deserve it, you did the work not any body else :bigsmile: I hit ONEderland this morning and one of the first things I did was text the pic of the scale to my sisters and put a status on facebook telling everyone that I have arrived at ONEderland…

Thank you all for the input :smile: I know when I started doing zumba the burn count I figured out when I googled a zumba burn calculator, because MFP didn't offer zumba as a cardio exercise. MFP now has it in the exercise area, but my burn is roughly 570 and my friend who used the zumba fitness from MFP has her burning…

I haven't linked them yet...I just ordered it hoping it will arrive in a couple days. I did find where you link them so I will make sure when I get it I will link the accounts.

my asking if it works was not the wording i should have used...I have lost 32 pounds doing it with just tracking my calories, and putting in what MFP tells me for my zumba works out and walking calorie burn. I guess what i wanted to know is it more accurate with your burn than MFP?

i have zumba core for xbox kinect and love it!!! I have even moved up to doing 2 hrs a night 2x a week. Plus i do an hour 2 other nights a week. I have definitely seen results from this workout :smile:

i do Zumba Core at home on the x-box kinect...LOVE IT!!! I even leave the curtains open for everyone driving by to see how silly i look...i'm proud that i'm up moving and not on the couch eating a huge bowl of ice cream any more!!!

use to wear a size 18, my first goal pants were a 14 that i bought and couldn't get them up over my butt or gut...i finally fit into them with a big muffin top hanging over, since then i have been able to wear them, freshly washed and dried, no need to do squats to stretch them out so my muffin top wouldn't be spilling out…

i've lost a cinder block...hoping for a gold brick :))

That is fantastic...you flex all you want it is well deserved!!! my first NSV for myself was...I wore a dress last year and every time i walked my belly would jiggle and wiggle :sad: this year when i wore it for the first time...NO WIGGLY JIGGLY :bigsmile:

I think about how awful i felt about myself 33 pounds ago...i look to my friends and family for encouragement. They seem to give that little push I need to keep going. A lifestyle change will have it's ups and downs but the results are incredible :bigsmile: So when you have the desire to give up, look at how far you have…

Congrats...you look absolutely fabulous :)) Keep up the fantastic work.
