Im in!!!

I love my fitbit too. My steps during Zumba are about 5200 so I think they are pretty accurate. I can walk 5200 steps and burn about 600 calories. I just dont understand it. No wonder I havent been losing weight before the fitbit because I was logging around 996 calories for Zumba when it should have only been around 340.…

Hmmmm MFP and the Zumba Calculator are really close in the calories it says I burned. My friend who is about 60 pounds lighter then me uses a HRM watch and burns about 575 calories at the same Zumba class. Its all so confusing!!

I bought my fitbit a few weeks ago but really started using it Monday. It pushes you to take extra steps and take the stairs more. I have gone over 10,000 steos everyday this week and even hit 15,000 on Wednesday. You earn badges for the more you do. I also love the sleep chart. So happy I bought the fitbit. FYI- Best Buy…

HI!! I am wanting to lose about 150 pounds. I am going to Zumba 2-3 days a week and just bought a treadmill. I have lost 24 pounds so far. I just bought a FItbit and love it. Good Luck with your weight loss journey! You can do it! Anyone can add me if you want! The more friends the better :)

I check in every Monday :)

You look AWESOME!! Congratulations on your weight loss. Thanks so much for the tips!

It is coming off very slow but I guess I should be happy the weight is coming off and I am keeping it off. I will keep what you all have said in mind. dlaplume2....I will try that with the sugar. I also gained 70 pounds with my oldest 19 years ago and still had some of that weight that I never lost plus some from having 2…

Very good question! I will be watching your post for ideas also. Why does it cost so much to eat healthy :(

My starting weight is 315.8 My goal weight will be to lose 15.9 pounds My first big goal is go be 299.9 (Under 300) I am always looking for new MFP friends to encourage and support so feel free to add me :)

Starting Weight 318.4 Goal Weight 299.9 or less by July 4.

I lost 3 pounds this week!!! I am so happy the scale is moving again after a 1 pound weight loss a week for over a month. GO PURPLE DIVAS!!

That is AWESOME!!! Great Job!!! Please share any tips you may have to help us. I would like to lose 150 pounds. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Hi!! I love Zumba! The way I add it is....Dancing, aerobic, ballet or modern, twist Option. When you go into exercise put that in. Good Luck with your weight loss journey!!

HI!! Welcome!! I had Cancer 9 years ago. Since then I have gained about 100 pounds. I have had difficulty losing weight also. MFP is the best place for you to start your weight loss journey! I have lost 11 pounds in 4 weeks. You can do it too!! Good Luck!!

Thank you!!!

Congratulations!!! My one month anniversary was yesterday the 21st. I have lost 11 pounds so you are doing great!!!

The first 2 weeks were a breeze for me and now I have struggled a lot the last 2 weeks. I lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks and didnt lose anything last week. This is so frustrating and I know exactly how you feel. Something that helped me was to look up the foods I use to eat...especially pizza and breadsticks...to see the amount…

I started a weight loss group on Facebook a few weeks ago. You can add me if you want and join our group. Were just on week 2 and doing great! Most of us have a lot of weight to lose. My name is Dawn Hastreiter Harper

Love It!!! :happy:
