WOW - amazing in so many ways! YOU GO GIRL!

Thanks for the advice! Maybe, I will try cleaning up the eating habits instead of added more exercise. I LOVE Zumba and am addicted. I miss it when I have to miss or class is cancelled. I enjoy it, so I am sticking to it. Plus, I feel like I "belong". I danced and did cheerleading in high school, so dance is in my blood.…

Have you done Zumba? An "intense workout" is much different than Zumba. Most people don't believe me when I say I burn 600-700 calories, but I find scientific proof to back me up - my mom being one of them. Yes, people burn differently. MFP has me burning about 687 in 60 mins of Zumba, but I backed it off a little. If I…

Schedule wise, I just can't do anymore than I am doing because it would take more time away from my kids. I am at the gym Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturday mornings. My gym closes before I can get there on Fridays and closes early on Sundays. Which leaves Mondays and Thursday which I am usually spending time with my kids…

It is what MFP gave me, I have my settings at losing 0.5 lbs/week not 1 lb/week. At 1 lb/week, I am more like 1300 but I was always starving at that rate. I looked at my TDEE and it was closer to 1540.

With Zumba, it is known that you burn anywhere from 500 to 700 calories. It is a very high cardio workout. Plus, my instructor wears a HRM - we are close in size and height. I don't sweat easy but when I leave there, I am drenched usually.

Hello Crystal, feel free to add me. I am a Christian and also a preacher's daughter :) Welcome to MFP and good luck on your journey.

Welcome all my new Zumba lovers! I have sent FR to everyone so far. Lets encourage each other and help each other along the way :)

I hav sent Friend Requests to everyone :)

Maybe, I will say something to my instructor and see. I would atleast like a shirt :)

I got 2-3 times a week. My gym only offers it three times a week, so I can't go anymore. I wish it was offered more at my gym too.

I did Zumba before I had my son, but then never returned. After my divorced and suffering from a knee injury, I am finding my love of Zumba again. I love my instructor and am excited to get back to it. I Zumba about 2-3 times per week. I went yesterday and am going tonight :) I want to get a Zumba shirt, but don't know…
