I went through the same thing. Once I started moving the weight came off and I got more energy and I'm sleeping better!

Stretch before and after a workout. Apply ice after a workout. Change your shoes..

I still have 700 calories left but I'm full.... I will try to eat a bigger lunch on my workout days..

I love mine too!!! I also use it to encourage my students. I'll let them wear it during a class and they get excited about seeing what they have burned!

Someone also suggested I eat more protein... I could use more, I can't do eggs. I will start making my homemade fresh fruit and protein smoothies again. I forgot about those,

Zumba Instructor... can't cut back. I'm not hungry at all, I'm not tired and I could go another hour at the gym if I did... Plenty of energy for work, gym and home (wink wink) I almost always eat my 1400, if I workout I do try to eat back some of the calories, but there are a lot of day when I have 600 - 800 calories left.…

I try to eat more fresh food but at work it's hard

I've been looking through some of your food diaries... Is no one concerned about the amount of sodium they are consuming?

Using a Polar...

Thanks for taking a look. ( I was only kidding about the Mc Donalds)

I measure my calorie burn with fitness monitor... I could go to McDonalds with the amount of calories I burn!!!

Thank you all for the support, I really do appreciate it. I did go and exchange my work uniform for on that was ONE SIZE SMALLER!!! Now I'll take that! I'm just going to keep going......

Zumba is fun and doesn't feel like your exercising. If you can't afford a gym membership or to pay for classes crank up the music and dance around the house like no one is watching for 30 minutes a day!

Laughing so hard I can hardly breath.... That's one the men won't understand

6 pages about farting! Great topic and a good laugh! Crop dusting is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time :laugh: My husband is usually the victim of my farts. I am famous for clearing 3 isles at a Pet Smart. At the gym?? That's why we all wear headphones. At Zumba. .. that's why we play the music so loud!

I don't drink diet pop. I allow myself 1 or 2 Classic Cokes per week.

You should have gone over the and decked her just to burn up a few extra calories... All I can say is Karma Baby!

It took me 2 weeks of cleaning to get the smell out of my house! To get Zumba license.. you go to their website and see where they are offering classes. I drove 5 hours to my training, it was 10 hours. It cost me 320.00 I walked away with Zumba and Zumba Gold license. Hope that helps

Invite those that you want to share your day with. Don't invite the drama..

I squat 250 pounds.. I hold 20 pounds in each hand when doing lunges. Adding the weight works better for me.

I do use a HRM, I burn 800 doing Zumba Gold and 1000 doing regular Zumba.

I love it!!!!! Awesome!! Congrats and keep going!!

While that may be working for you it does not mean that it will work for everyone. Eating 80% of my calories just before I go to bed is a guarantee way for me to gain weight. Those of us that are not so young and post menopause have different needs. For me if I eat before bed my body will not have a chance to burn off…

I opened up my diary...

I am always in the calorie negative. I can not eat as much as I burn, The last time I stalled for 2 weeks ( no weight loss) I reversed my meals under the advice of a trainer and I lost 4 pounds that week. Myth?? not for me. Everyone is different. I need to pack in most of my calories during the first half of the day then…

I forgot to mention... I started doing Zumba ® last February after I quit smoking, I have lost 25 pounds since then.

WOOOP!!! Way to go!!!

For your 1st class that's AWESOME!!! It takes a few weeks to build yourself up. Before you know it you'll shimmy away the pounds!

Zumba ® Fitness instructor here!! Age and weight make a difference when calculating how may calories you burn doing Zumba ®. I'm 49, 161 lbs.... my average heart rate during a class is 155 my high is 175. I burn 850 calories in 60 minutes. If I am teaching Zumba ® Gold my average heart rate is 121, my high is 136 I burn…
