I do the Zumba dvds. Cardio party 3x/week and sculpt and tone 2x/week. It is latin-inspired dance moves. I love it!!

I love my Polar FT4! Super easy to use!

I do the sculpt and tone twice a week and I can feel it. I use 2lb strap-on hand weights that I bought at WalMart. I am thinking I need to get some heavier ones so that I can tone more and feel it better. I usually do Zumba (dvd) 4-5 times a week. I enjoy it very much, and it is a great calorie burn!! Best of luck!

WAY TO GO!!!!

This would be nearly identical to mine, if I wrote them down and did the same thing.

Thanks for sharing, that is neat!

I usually burn between 500-600. I don't do the cool down though, I do my own cool down. So sometimes I burn around 500 in about 45 minutes.....all tracked by my HRM. I have been loving Zumba!!

Stranger things have happened. Might be time for a test.

I'm with ya!!!

I am 5' 10", weigh 176 and I am currently wearing a size 14......they are loose, but not ready for 12s yet. Shoe size - 10!

We are our worst critic! You are doing an awesome job by even committing yourself! I see a difference as well, don't get discouraged. You are doing great!

I am both! I have to do my workouts early in the morning before my kiddos show up, and while my own is still sleeping. It is very hard to always get things just right when so busy. The days that I can't get in an early morning workout, I do it while all the kids are down for their nap. Will be harder soon when I get my new…

I am cooking my leftover chicken right now with some rice, brocolli, and cream of chicken soup! Hope it turns out edible :wink:

I saw several years ago on Dr Phil. His wife said she was always thin, but could not get rid of the "pooch" and the only way she did it was by alleviating all sugar from her diet. She claimed that is what did it.

Welcome! Wishing you much success!

Yep, that's me!! I have the stretch marks, bad......some of them are pretty wide. I will never have a bikini body, but my goal it to feel comfortable with myself naked. That doesn't necessarily mean that I will look good, but as long as I am comfortable....it's ok. Besides that, I have a pool for the back yard and very few…

There are 8ozs in a cup.

I found a 4 disc set on amazon that has both of those. I was thinking of getting them. It is only like $28. I see lots of good things on here about most of her dvds!

Impressive!! Way to go!

Welcome!!! :flowerforyou:

I usually use coffee to help, but there are times that even that won't work for me. I have put benefiber in it and had that help. I have also taken over the counter stool softener when need be. Those 2 things aren't brutal to my stomach like the laxatives are. Hope you get relief soon, I know it can be awful!!
