i still weigh myself twice daily.lol

We got poles to just for an extra workout we just got in now from an 1hr and 45 mins, and its a nice mix to your workout.

It shows though, its a proven fact that people are more successful keeping track of their food to lose weight, this is my 4th winter logging on as i drop my weight in the winter and gain in the summer, but my gains are lower and lower each year. My wife and i are doing this together and having great results, stay positve…

Had to comment on this one as i do the same, actually i weigh in morning and again after workout in late afternoon. I usually weigh in the same the next morning providing i havent eaten a high sodium supper under 2000mg is usually good for me anything higher automatic 1 - 2 pounds up!!!!

Apparently Christine Aguilera was on this lol, but she alway looked great!!!

There has to be some cal burn as zumba has over 900 cals for 1 hour, and when u r soaked doin 30 mins of kettle bells with a 20lb weight it would have to be 200 - 300 id think.

My wife is having the same issue she is in her 3rd week and the 1st she lost 3.5lb and the second week she gain 2lbs, she measured though and she is down several inches going into her 3rd week of Zumba, but i did look at what she was eating and she was only eating between 800 and 1100 calories, and she should be eating…

i dont think she is eating enough, im going to get her signed on here and see what happens with the tracking of food!!!!

i dont wanna be jacked but i wouldnt mind a little ripple or a v happening lol

My wife just started Zumba just over a week ago and the inches and weight are falling off as well as healthy eating, not dieting, salt is my big killer but u can do it, u want to get back to 150 so set yourself small goals, 10lbs at a time, its easier to look at 5 goals of ten pounds then 50lbs, and its less depressing.

Hi, i was on bisoprolol 5 - 10 mg a while back to control Atrial fib, but found i couldn't workout properly and got nausea and could feel my body wanted to go but heart rate wouldnt, i looked at the pro's and con's and stopped taking it and dropped 65lb in 5 months, the Dr. was impressed and agreed with me. But every case…

Can't wait til the snow, strap on the snowshoes and poles people, 800 cals per hour workout. Perfect exercise for the winter months.

Hey Melissa, Take your 45lb u wanna lose and brake it up in incriments of 10lbs at a time and it will be more achievalbe. I lost 65lbs but i broke it down to 15lb at a time and once i reached the first 15 i worked on the second then so on. Make it sensible for yourself, time wise for how what time period u want to lose the…

Hi, i concur with many below, get your sodium under 2000 , drop the eggo waffles for breaky ,go with whole grain breads high fibre, get a lot more veggies in your dinner and drop the processed foods, i thought a low fat deli turkey wasnt bad but later found out 1000 sodium in 100g's go with Grissol baggetts herb garlic or…

Will try too, thanks

I guess its different for everyone, i've been on average 10lb a month 2 - 2.5 lb a week since November, eating very well and health wise i feel great, 249.5 November 25/10 to 205.5 current. Goal 185 June 30th/11

I had someone tell me to put it under circuit training under Cardio it works out to 400cal, thoughts anyone????

For special holidays I use it as my once a week cheat day and make sure i have a great workout that day and it usually bal ances out well as long as i"m back into it the next day. Down 40lbs from Nov 25/10.

elliptical for 60 min level 9 for 1205 cals this morning and treadmill 70 min for 1045 cals , before supper.

I just eat my base 1700cal im allowed with my weight and height, for instance today i worked out for 2250 cals wich give me 3950 cals , there is no way i''ll eat hardly any of it , probably 1900 to 2200 total otherwise u'll waste your workout cals.

Results on the scale r very rewarding and make u think of better food decisions, good work keep it up.

My daughter got this for my wife and its killed her twice, debating on whether or not i should give it a try in my workout as something different, im guessing guys can do this too.

Break yourself up into 3 or 4 goals weights 10 - 15lb or so.Its easier to achieve the 10 -15lbs at a time than look at a long 50lb goal. This is what helped me. S.W 249.5 Nov/10 G.W. 230 January 15th/11 CW 215.5 Mar24th/11 GW 200 April 24th/11 End W 185 May 31st/11 Just something to look at doing.

Thanks for the help Ladies.

hey , sure add me

Just to let you know i've fluctuated as much as 9 lbs in two days ,no lie and my wife can attest to this, as for me fluid retention is the big thing. I always weight heavier than before workout and can drop 4lb in a hard cardio workout.

i think its the same as ellipital thats what i used under cardio.

A whole wheat english muffin toasted with a fried egg will give u around 250 cals, and glass of OJ for another 120.

I actually weigh myself twice a day, and i base it on after my workout before dinner then again the next morning before breakfast. I find its good for me because it give me an idea at what effects the meal the night before had on me and high sodium foods tend to add a couple extra pounds. Pasta sits with me for a couple…
