agreed, zumba is a great workout. I bought the DVD set and have also been to the classes. Personally, i found the classes more vigorous and motivating than the DVDs. I think it works because for most people, it's fun to do so it's easier to stick with. It definitely gets your heart rate up and gets you moving and sweating.

If you're trying to stay away from red meat, you can also have pork; it's the other white meat. I'm a big fan of pork loin with an apple chutney.

I thought I was plateauing, but after I wrote up my post I lost another 3 lbs just continuing to eat about 1200 cals/day more…

I have a similar situation to the original poster. I have been eating healthy and exercising 3x week for the past month. I have lost 6lbs total and do feel a bit healthier, but I've plateau'd for the past 1-2 weeks. I realize I might be asking an obvious question, but I just want to make sure I understand: If I eat 1200…
