Welcome to MFP! Zumba is great exercise--good cardio and a fair number of strengthening moves, as well. Enjoy! It's my favorite way to work out. I'm a little lazy otherwise. I have the Zumba DVD's, but if I can get to a class, that is the best. The energy that others bring is exhilirating!

without a doubt.

Weekly; Tuesday mornings before shower and coffee.

Very nice letter; I can identify. My father also died prematurely from an obesity related illness. Sorry for your loss, but you are inspiring others to make lifestyle changes for the better.

ZUMBA!!

Keep snacks (i.e. not doughnuts) handy. A few good choices: apples (medium: 70-80 calories), oranges, air popped pop corn (Good Health has a 4 oz serving for 120 calories); 1 oz of nuts--I like almonds, so that's roughly about 28 almonds. Greek yogurt is also full of protein, and some of the flavors are actually pretty…

There is fat-free half and half (about 20 calories for 2 tsp). Also, you could try Stevia or Splenda as a sweetener. Lastly, if you just like the taste of coffee, you could drink decaf once you've gotten your caffeine fix in.

The food scale is a must; plus, I've gotten quite fond of Chobani Greek Yogurt, medium apples, clementines, almonds (Blue Diamond has some great flavors), and air popped popcorn (the brand I use is 4 cups for 120 calories!!). Also, definitely get your water in. Good luck.

Most things by Pitbull are pretty good. LMFAO also has pretty good dance tunes. Otherwise, I agree with the Pandora suggestion. The Zumba Fitness channel has great songs.
