I started today with 3 lb weights and progress from there. :-)

I would love to join! Got the DVD yesterday.

Love this! Thanks!

Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!

This is great info!! Thanks!

I am 5'6 and currently 159 lbs. I currently wear most 8's and some 6's, it depends on how its made. Profile pic is current. I started my weight loss journey in January at 185 lbs.

Thanks so much for posting!!!!! Love it!

Can't wait to try these!! Thanks!

You treat the special workouts as a regular workout. The next time you go to the gym, you will do Special workout A, then the next time, Special Workout B. Then you will rest for a week, if you desire. Hope this helps.

I'm wondering the same thing. I actually had 2 more workouts in stage 2 and took 2 weeks off. I do not want to repeat Stage 2 because I dislike it so much. I think I am going to do like 4 more workouts in Stage 2 and hopefully finish the stage at the same weights I was at before taking my break. Welcome to all the new…

bump! I'm interested as well.

2-3 days strength training 1-2 days Zumba So anywhere from 3-5 days a week

I am 5'6" and my current weight is 157. That is a current pic in my profile pic. I like my curves and choose not to get too small, so my goal is 150. Once I get there, I will work on bf% instead of lbs.

Great article!!

interesting discussion. bump!

I warm up on the treadmill for 10 mins before strength training. Or sometimes do intervals for about 15-20 mins on the treadmill. That is it though. No 30-60 mins cardio on any machines for me!!

With that being said, my maintenance is 1800. Do you think I can still lose weight/fat by eating at maintenance or just 100 cals below?

Sunshine, Yes, you can do this and I will help in anyway that I can!! And I need your help with the exercise. I have to be a little more consistent with the strength training. Most of the time, I do it 2x per week, but if something comes up during the week, I will cut out a day of strength training before I cut out cardio…

Sunshine, It sounds like you have the exercise part in check. But I did take a look at your diary and it doesn't look like you are eating enough. You are doing a good amount of exercise and it doesn't appear that you are eating your exercise calories back. Also, what are your macros set at. Your protein looks a little low.…

Thanks for the comments, Kensky. That is the thing, I have no idea what my ideal weight is. I am 5'6" and 154lbs is the high end of my healthy BMI range. I am currently 159 lbs. I have a pretty muscular build and feel like if I go under 150 lbs, I will look too thin. But I won't really know until I get closer to my goal. I…

Of course you are welcome to stay in the group!! Your comment brings up a good point. I keep hearing that it is hard to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. And I also hear that you should definitely strength train and do cardio at the same time. My question is the same as yours. If I want to still lose 10lbs and…

I absolutely love Zumba!!! GO ZUMBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or whatever it is that you can or will do to be healthy and fit!!!!!!!!
