  • Girl, go to the nutritionist. Just give it a try, won't hurt you to see what advice they have for you. I'm a physical therapist in a hospital and work with them all the time, the nutritionist girls that I work with are really sweet and nice, and know what they're talking about. Hopefully, you'll find a good one, that said…

  • Welcome to the site! I started using the site about 5wks ago and the site combined with discovering my love for Zumba classes have made a great difference. This site was an eye opener and is a great tool! I think your goal weight and mine are close, so I would love to be your buddy also.
  • I have lost 12 pounds in about 5wks!
  • Hi! I think it should be pretty accurate or close. I wear my HRM chest strap and watch and when i'm doing the machines that read the HRM, they seem to be accurate compared to the watch. Although, some times the machine reads 1 bpm less than the watch, but it shouldn't make a significant difference.
  • I also wear a heart rate monitor. I usually burn between about 475 and 675 calories during an hour class. It depends on how much intensity i put into my moves and the overall intensity of each instructor class.
