I'd love to be in your corner!:flowerforyou:

Linda Sundance: Thank you for what you said about eating healthy but not depriving yourself of any foods. I am 55 years old and have been dieting off and on since my first baby was born back when I was 2 months shy of being 19. Before then I weighed only 99 pounds. I'm 5'2". Been overweight since I got pregnant. So I tell…

Welcome! I have about that same amount to lose. It is a slow process but I am told that is good. I know you can do it. This site is GREAT for keeping track and really seeing what you are eating, etc.:flowerforyou:

Are you tracking your food intake and your exercises in mfp?

Way to Go Jenn! I never thought of having the kids meals. That is a GREAT idea! AND I can save the toys for my grandchildren when they come over. Thank you for the suggestion.

Have no idea what week it is but I'm down 10 pounds. Going down slowly but I have noticed that it has gotten better since I started Zumba classes. Love the extra energy I have.:blushing:

So agree with you Jill! This is the first time I have heard this "bump" thing.

Good Point Pickle!!

I had a wellness coach at one point and he told me that the day to day activities that we do do not count because our bodies become accustomed to those. My day to day activities wouldn't do much anyway because I sit at a desk all day. I was much thinner 30 years ago before I started this job. Before that I was home chasing…

WOW! You are looking good!!! I've been doing Zumba for about a month now and I also have some great instructors. I just love it. I'm very sore afterward but it is worth it and I know it is working for me. PLUS it is just so much fun!:happy:

1st between 8:00 and 9:00. Last between 5:00 and 6:00; however I always end up snacking until about 10:00. Got to get out of that habit or snack on healthier foods. :frown:

WOW! I am so impressed!:flowerforyou:

celery with peanut butter or apple slices with peanut butter.

WOW! I am sooooooooooooo jealous! YOu look fabulous!

Last night I had my 4th Zumba class and I love it more and more each time. However, I am soooooooooooo tired the day after. Then after that 1st day following the class, I seem to have so much more energy. I'm so hoping and praying that I will see some results.

Hello. I'm a 54 yo woman living in Massachusetts US

Remember that the question was what annoys you and therefore, you are only getting the bad which there is always bad with the good. I have taken many different exercise classes and Zumba is my favorite. If you have a good instructor and a good place to go, you can really work up a sweat and I can guarantee you will feel…

If you don't break a sweat, then you aren't doing it correctly. (Just like I don't think I'm replying to this post correctly.) LOL

If you didn't break a sweat, you weren't doing it correctly.

My baby was born 36 years ago tomorrow and I STILL can't get into my prepregnancy clothes either. :wink: Sorry. Couldn't help saying this. :ohwell:

Just go with the flow (sorry for the pun). I always expected to gain between 3 and 5 pounds that week but knew that the next week it would be gone again. Problem for me would be the chocolate cravings. Need to give in a little. NOT A LOT! AND if the cramps allow, keep up the exercise or do more exercise. If not, just get…

WOW! I think you just told MY story! We need to support each other.

I think part of it depends on your age but if I were 118 pounds right now I would be estastic. I might look sickly too though. I am 54 years old and I am 5'2". I know all the charts, etc., say I should be between 110 and 120 but I really think that would make me look drawn. I would be very happy at 140. However, if I were…

Just started Zumba on Monday. Yesterday was my second time. The place I go has the classes on Mondays and Thursdays and therefore, I plan on doing Zumba twice a week. I can tell you that I LOVE it even though my body is hurting pretty badly right now. I was surprised at how the 2nd time seemed harder then the first time.…

Nothing wrong with a glass of wine as long as you count the calories. Wine is even good for your heart. Many doctors recommend a glass of wine a day. :drinker: Which is all I can handle anyway. :blushing:

I can totally relate because I did the same thing and now my weight is even higher then when I started back in January. So, on Monday I started again and joined a Zumba class. I'm 54 years old about 50 pounds overweight and so this isn't easy but I am determined. I found the Zumba class difficult but oh so much fun. One…

WOW! Reading my mind. I was going to ask the same question. I started Zumba for the first time last night.
