There has been one stress after the other in my life for three years straight BUT now I use my Zumba to work it out! My mentality needs to change and just keep plugging on I guess.

I know, thanks.

The one thing I haven't let go of is Zumba and I am happy for that but you're right I am making excuses and I don't know how to stop sabotaging my hard work!

I DO allow myself one cheat day a week. I find though it creeps to two on the weekends and then I am playing catch up during the week and getting frustrated. I need to keep it to my one day BUT I don't want to. I am feeling stressed and not feeling very much like watching calories.

awesome thanks

That gives me hope though!! I hate it!

Wow no one wants to show some stomach pictures? lol

My head is spinning :) I will have to read this a few times.

Thank you, according to their calculator it says 1385.

I am from southern NJ add me :)

My name is Lisa and I am a Zumbaholic. So addicting. Don't be intimidated, find a good instructor and GO!! It's the best workout and soooper (in the words of my instructor) fun! Best investment in my life thus far.

Maybe I should throw the scale away LOL but I can't! ahhhh

Thank you dctina!!! I did make sure to eat what I wanted yesterday (within my calories of course) to compensate for all the work I did and also had a cheat day on Saturday. If I have issues with the scale this coming Saturday morning I will look into the Zone diet. I still feel like a failure but I am not giving up.

Thank you all, I weighed in the day before I did the Zumbathon so water weight wouldn't really apply. I appreciate the feedback and am trying to not look at only the numbers but then I think of the Biggest Loser and they always lose weight EVEN when they work out all the time and gain muscle...

Small accomplishment but meant so much to me. Thanks everyone.

Love this, now I just have to save my pennies for that massage :)

Thank you, today is a good day :)

I am from an abused home. I ate because food made me feel better. I am trying hard to break those thoughts.

Definitely I can tell!

Thank you everyone, I am trying :)
