My after picture is actually from last august, so I have lost about 10 more pounds since then. Yes, then you get the bright idea to get licensed to teach Zumba, and then there's no going back. I am done for! I do moves in my desk at work, practice songs in the parking garage on my lunch break, and I choreography songs in…

Captain Skyhawk. Best Game Ever!

Hi! I've been a Zumba instructor for a week (and a day!) :) Just got licensed and everything is so overwhelming right now trying to get a playlist set up and practiced so I can possible start teaching. I started Zumba in Sept 2011 and MFP last february, and between the two have lost over 70 pounds. Although now with all…

I have to add my before and after pics. I started Zumba in September of 2011. Now I am going to get licensed as an instructor in 2 days!!!! (I'm super excited!) I have gone from a size16/18 195 pounds to a loose size 4 and 122 pounds. Zumba love to everyone! Pic on the left is from my first zumba class in Sept 2011, and…

A tin of bacon shaped bandaids. Never know when you need one!

Here's my most recent burn for an hour Zumba class. Been doing Zumba for a little over a year now.

I just used my new HRM last night. I had a burn of 801 for 1 hour:) I just checked the zumba calorie burned site and for High intensity it said 547. I did have class with a Zumba Jammer so that might have had something to do with it!

I have this problem too! I can't find jeans smaller than size 6 unless I go into juniors sizes-and with my butt and thighs that is not happening! Going to have to check out some of these stores.

Make sure to let the instructor know that you are new to Zumba as well. And as everyone else has said, have fun! I spend half the time laughing at myself doing something stupid, and I've been doing it for over a year.

My boobs have disappeared. I look like a 12 year old boy if I don't wear a pu-up bra. I also can't find any clothes that fit me. The small shirts are too big and no one makes extra small. I also have to go to specialty (expensive) stores for pants. All the department stores stop at size 6 and don't go any smaller. I still…

I went camping this past weekend and I froze to death. Everyone made fun of me and said it wasn't that cold. I was wearing a turtleneck, sweater, hoodie, fleece jacket, and a winter jacket, with a hat and gloves and I was still cold. Last winter I only wore the fleece jacket the entire time. This is going to be a bad…

I bought mine from walmart. I do not recommend it! I will be checking out new ones soon.

Greenfield. Wasting time on MFP until the work day is done so I can enjoy the gorgeous day outside!

I :heart: Zumba. I had no idea what I was getting into when I stepped foot into my first class. It is responsible for my weight loss! I was too out of shape to do the moves so I was forced to get healthier to be able to have more fun. :smile: I have met so many people and made new friends. Zumba rocks!

Beautiful smile! I wish my teeth were so white!

My profile pic is Midnight. I'd like to say that I rescued him, but he actually demanded that I take him home. He stuck his little paws out and grabbed me and wouldn't let go. Now he and his brother are giant spoiled brats! I love them both so much:)

1. Hydrocodone 5/500 2. T1T PO QD 3. No, we can't accept a fax for that, we need the actual hard copy 4. Can I put you on hold for the billing dept? (We don't have a billing dept, I just usually don't want to answer the question.) 5. No, we really can't take a fax. No, I don't know why they told you we could. They are not…

I had a really terrible cold at the beginning of august. My weight jumped 5 pounds. I still continued to work out the same and eat the same. My weight went back down after about 5 days, but it was still very frustrating!

I have been using the patch since forever. No children, no blood clots, no side effects. I love only having to remember to change it once per week. If I had to remember to take a pill every day I would have 20 children by now lol. My doctor told me that since I have been on it with no side effects that she is not worried…

Things that don't have calories: Birthday treats Buffets Any holiday or party Any food that is free Random treats leftover in break room at work Anything you eat after working out I think that's part of the reason why I gained so much weight lol.

I might be a big dork, but I looked up my 5k route ahead of time. I actually ran that route every time did C25K. I ended up knowing the best route to take to miss the bumps in the road, and where the hills were. I think it helped a lot to check it out ahead.

Yum! I just finished lunch and now I am hungry again.

From my dad "I was going to invite you out to dinner, but I forgot, you don't eat anymore." WTF? The last time I was at his house for dinner I think I ate 2 chicken breasts and a cheeseburger! That's not including the sides and dessert probably!

I am 5 feet 5.5 inches. I started at 195. The far right picture is 180-185. The middle pic I was probably 140-145. I am down to about 136 now.

Here's mine. Before, after and during picture. The before picture was taken exactly a year ago, and the during picture was in April, about a month after I started seriously trying to lose weight. The after picture is from a few weeks ago. Here's a closer picture of the before. I owe my success to Zumba. If I didn't go to…

My goal was to run in under 40 minutes. My previous best was 38.30. My 5k was 33 minutes 11 seconds! I killed that time:) No wonder I felt like I wanted to die when I crossed the finish line!

Good luck to everyone running tomorow! I'm so excited for mine!

I can't do 30DS after my cardio. My legs drag and I just can't do it! My 30DS has to be before the cardio. I usually do 30DS right after work, and then eat dinner, then go running or to the gym for cardio.

Me! It is my first. I made my sister join it with me. It is called "City of Greenfield Parks & Recreation 5k Run/Walk". I joined it because it is very very very small so I won't feel too intimidated! I finished C25K a little over a week ago, so I know I can go the whole distance, even if some of the walkers will probably…

Congrats! My first 5k is going to be sept 8th, and if my times start with a 3 at all I will be happy! Right now my best has been just over 40 minutes.
