I've actually noticed that there is now an option for Zumba. I think it must be a recent addition to the database as I only found it about 3 weeks ago. It states average workout for an hour to burn about 500 cals. Enjoy your first class,I'm sure you'll enjoy it,I find it so much fun!!

Hello. I'm in the UK also,over in the Manchester area. This site is a fantastic tool and used correctly and regularly will help you achieve your goal. If your wanting some friendly words of encouragement then feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck!! Karen :wink:

Hi to both of you. I'm in the UK also and have been using this site since Jan 2010. It is the easiest and best FREE tool out there and everyone is really supportive. If you would like a "buddy" to help you along and for motivation then feel free to ad me as a friend. Good luck with your weight losses. Karen

Hi, I also have a lot of weight to lose and welcome any sort of motivation and friendly encouragement. Please feel free to add me as a buddy :smile: Karen x

Hi Amy and welcome to MFP. This is the first and most important step to weight loss. I joined up in Jan and its the best thing I could of done. Just by logging my foods daily and exercising a few times a week I've managed to lose 10lb. I'm aiming for a 1 lb a week as I know this achievable for me and I won't go hungry. I…

Hi, I don't think frozen veg is bad,to be honest the majority of the time the veg I eat has been frozen. I don't have time to nip to the shops to buy in fresh veg during the week so I try to buy fresh produce for over the weekends and rely on the frozen sort during the week. I guess if your getting some fresh fruit along…

Ok first of all you may have gained a little muscle weight. I did the first cpl weeks. Secondly how under your calorie limit are you? If your not eating enough calories your not going to lose the weight. Hope this helps a little x

just remember it is only one meal and for one day. Tuesday you can get back on track.

I both know exactly what you mean,before I joined MFP I had been going to the gym for about 2 months previous,and I was getting most upset that my weight was coming down. However after I'd had a chat with an instructor and had the the whole muscle mass,body fat thing explained to me I didn't feel so bad. And to be honest…

Debbie,I'm with you on that long and sometimes lonely journey. Friends,family and partners are very supportive but when there not the ones who need to lose the weight it seems like a battle you have to fight on your own. I'm happy to be a "friend" and help you on the way as I myself need a few friends. Feel free to add me…

Bury, Manchester England. Welcome to the newbies..I'm one also :happy:

Hi Debbie, I only joined myself a few days ago and I'm still finding my way around the site. I'm just outside of Manchester as well. You'll find the site really useful and there seems to be lots of positive support. Do you have much to lose or is this just a change in lifestyle and needing a few words of encouragement? x

Hi There, I'm new myself and only joined a few days ago. I weighed in on Tuesday at 270lb which is heavy but i already lost 10lb before signing up. I too have started the gym and really enjoying it. I chatted with a personal trainer who gave me some great advice on healthy weight loss. Aim to lose 1-2 lb a week, doesn't…

Hi. It certainly helps to have someone who's trying to lose weight too. My boyfriend as been really supportive but he doesn't really need to lose weight,however to make life easier he eats what I eat so that helps a lot!! I've always tried to eat quite healthy but my problem was always portion sizes and the fact I have a…

Hi. I'm Karen and also new to this. I also want to lose 70-80 lbs so maybe we can be support for each other. I myself have tried numerous diets which work for a while but then I get bored. However I've taken a new approach to it this time and realise for me to lose weight and keep it off I need to change my lifestyle. I'm…
