  • Hello you beautiful tall ladies!!! I am 5'10...hit my limit at 290 lbs a few years back between my 2nd and 3rd child, and got really frustrated with myself and motivated to change. I got down to 194 lbs before getting pregnant with my 3rd, had many complications and lots of ups and downs with the 3rd, who is a precious and…

  • I burn between 1000 and 1200 cals in an hour of Zumba! My instructor is intense, I love love love it....and I'm taller and heavier and look like I stepped out of a shower when I finish the class.....it really depends on the person, time to invest in a HRM with chest strap if you really want to know for yourself!
  • It also allows you to easily access it from your profile page under the topics you have posted on...so if it's info you want to look at later, you bump it and then it'll be easier to find!

  • Absolutely amazing!!! You look wonderful, and I bet you feel pretty fantastic too!!! Great job!
  • Fantastic, I'm looking forward to that day!!!

  • I have the Timex Ironman mid-size unisex one from Amazon.......LOVE it!!!
  • OK, that was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! One class in and I am hooked...my instructor is like a Latin Jillian Michaels!!! Count me in Zumba crew, I love Love LOVE it!!!
  • Hi, I'm Shauna and I am super excited to try out Zumba tonight....the instructor looks so inspiring!!! I'll have to let you know how it goes, just waiting for my DH to get home and I'll be on my way out the door! As for food I detest, mushrooms, olives, and most seafood.
  • Thank you for simplifying this!!! I really understand it now...we started trying to eat more whole foods and less processed over the past month, nice to hear others affirm that we are heading in the right direction!
  • You are totally right...it depends on the individual. Depending on your current weight and the level of intensity, you will burn differently than the person next to you. A good heart rate monitor that will calculate calories burned can be found from $50-$100 and it is a worthwhile investment! I have had one for the past…

  • Still getting in all my workouts, but man was I hungry this past weekend! We'll see what the scale has to say tomorrow...keep up the great work everyone!
  • Good morning ladies! Is it just me, or does getting up 4 or 5 times during the night to comfort and put back to bed various children make you feel very hungry the next day??? I tell ya, both Lukas and Andreya were up in the night last night and I am starving today........better get in a good workout because I feel the need…
  • It's so awesome that you do this for us anyway...no worries if you don't get it done at a certain time! It's just nice to see it once in a while even if it's not every week! Hope your SO feels better!
  • Wow, there are a lot of you on here!!! I'm from Alberta, Canada...on a little acreage just outside of Calgary! I bought my kids a 12 year old pony last year and hopefully we'll get another this spring as well as a larger horse for myself or my husband to ride!!! I am sooo excited! I have always loved horses and now that we…
  • Jan 3rd: 262 lbs 10th: 251 lbs (-11!!!) 17th: 251 lbs (no change) 24th: 246 lbs (-5!!!) Much happier with the results this week!!! I've upped my veggie intake last week which I hope to maintain, even though I still have to sneak some of it into my food! I'm like a big kid who doesn't like her veggies! This weeks goal for…

Not thinking I will have lost…
  • Sooo...we set up our workout room downstairs, which I love!!! Baby gate for a door so that I don't have to worry about my kids running around the machines and weights, and so they can see me and though they may cry and scream, I can see that they are okay!!! Problem is, I have an old tv in there and a dvd player...no…
  • Ok, so I know this is my first week back into the swing of things, and I ate pretty poorly over the holidays, and I know this won't continue at this rate........but losing 11 lbs feels freakin' fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work everyone! This week I plan to up my veggies ( I am not a vegetable fan) and continue…
  • Survived my first week back into the swing of things! Got in at least 45 minutes of exercise per day...mostly elliptical but yesterday the kids wouldn't give me a break, so I made them do wii Active with me!!! I'm feeling great and can't wait to step onto the scale tomorrow! My goal for this week is to try and eat more…
