it is indeed much harder the older we get, but still possible. I think that 13 pounds in the next 2 and 1/2 months is a reasonable goal. for me, sticking to around 1200-1300 calories a day and exercising for about an hour a day did the trick - and I'm 41 :)

I created my own exercise.... I read that one burns between 500 and 800 calories an hour doing zumba (depending on how much you're jumping, etc.) I typically log between 500-600 for an hour just to be on the safe side. Such a fun way to exercise though - isn't it??

I googled "calories burned during zumba". the most reliable thing I saw said that the average person burns anywhere between 500 and 800 calories in an hour. Personally, I'm logging the smaller amount just to be safe!
