I burn up to 500-550, sometimes more depending on what the class is like. Remember that the calories you burn is directly connected to how hard you work, and how high your HR is. If you don't get into it, or have a light day in Zumba, then you are not going t oburn as much as you would if you go all out. I get my heart to…

I drink Swiss Chocolate protein shakes. I have one every day, they are soooo good! And sometimes I just have some chocolate! Either way, I'm not mad about it lol

Everyone is different. Every BODY is different, what works for me may not work for you. But...this is what I do: I try and eat raw foods (fruits, veggies, nuts) and non-processed foods. Processed foods are made by taking out all the nutrients that are hard for your body to break down, and therefore the food becomes easier…

finding new friends sounds simple, but it's not. As adults, we tend to stick to who and what we know for the most part. But it's not about new friends vs. the old. It's about wanting a change and doing it. Not complaining that it hasnt happened yet.

I just get bored at the gym sometimes. I have an Ipod that pounds into my ears when I am not in a class of some kind and it keeps me pushing harder to the beat, but it is lonely. My friends are all thin as can be for the most part, they don't really 'get it' I suppose. Overall, I am just annoyed today. I am tired of the…

Ahh, I love this comment! LARPing means they would have to be physically active. No go. I am just tired of people in general most of the time. I need better friends who actually care about what I am doing, and not only because it is cutting into time they want to be doing something else.

LOL! Last night my fiance was a little upset that I wanted to leave a little earlier because I wanted to check out Pound Fitness at the gym, so I totally get it!

Hello everyone! My name is Jess, I'm 5'6" and need to loose about 100lbs. So far I have almost lost 20! I am currently sitting at a size 16 pants and 13/14 dress. I'm here to make supportive friends and help others when I can. I love doing Zumba, Hip Hop Sweat, and anything else that involves dancing, as well as Insanity!…

Thanks, my body is headed to being a lean, mean, tight canvas that it is meant to be lol. And thanks ladies, I am loving being almost 20lbs lighter!

Lol, well I am working hard to keep the boob-age!

Just because you are loosing weight does not always mean you are getting slimmer. Muscle means bulk, dont forget that! If you want to get lean, try doing more strength and less cardio. That's when I, personally, see the best results.

you're over doing it. But remember, your body not only needs the rest, you also have to feed it what it needs to repair all the damage you are doing. Once you get use to all the activity, your body will bounce back more quickly. For example, yesterday I did Hip Hop Sweat, and it use to kill me. My thighs would hurt, my…

I get some of my stuff from Wally World. I recently got Dancing off the Inches DVD set that came with toning bars for about 25 bucks, and they have another one for 20 with out the 1 1/2lbs weights. I also got a few Gold's Gym products to help me loose water weight in my hips and tummy for 10 and 4, respectively. All of…

thank you UrnAsh!

I use two apps on my phone to tell me my heart rate and to then calculate how many calories I burned! I totally know what you mean!

bump

I am so happy when I see stuff like this, you give me motivation to keep going! Keep up the good work!!!

Also, if anyone wants to add me, I love new friends!

you look amazing. Damn right you need to be celebrating!

Girl, you KNOW I keep all my old dresses so I have motivation to get back into them! Lol

LOL!!!! Thanks! I haven't lost any of it so far, and I am hoping to keep it that way!

Thank you!! I added the pic at the bottom so you could see the difference in the same dress as the first two :D It's all thanks to support and motivation!

you guys are most welcome :) HRMs are really expensive, and if you can't afford one, then this is the next best thing!

Thanks! :D

thanks :) It is tough work, but it is worth it. I am getting married in August and I want to look the best that I could possibly look.

One more bump before I give up on trying to find anyone!!!

Lol, I like spring water, just not the kind that comes from your area. I don't know what it is, it tastes really bad in comparison to the other water I drink that is also spring

awww, that sucks!

I hate your water, lol

I can always tell when the Red Dragon is right around the corner before any signs show up, because the scale jumps! I am not very regular in the slightest! But remember, the scale is NOT always right. It is possible to see the scale numbers rise but actually be MORE fit than at the lower weight ^_^ Keep up the good work!
