Thanks all for the advice. Know what is being said about processed foods - avoided them for several years because of late wife's diet needs. Try to buy and eat fresh as much as possible - for me recently its just been all the crisps and sweets - and BREAD in between mealtimes. But it makes a bit more sense now. Thanks…

Pharrell Williams and some obscure British 80s dance stuff.....

Well thats the first Zumba class done! WOW. IT was a blast. My body doesn't think so, but it was a blast! Small group - only 9 others plus the instructor - and the only guy after all!! But made welcome. I am SO unfit: cos of circumstances I've done nothing more than walking the dogs for the last year and it made me realise…

Me or Theresa, HappilyEverAfter? You MUST mean her!!!!!!

Another nice smile.....

Can't see that your profile is right! Would have said 35, 36, 37....

Of course we would. And I did!!

Count on my support!! We have similar reasons for trying to get fit and lighter, and you're welcome to add me as a friend who'll support (AND ask for some every so often!!). I've just started on the journey and it's an eye opener.....

Hi. Feel free to add me. New to MFP but hooked already...... any encouragement welcome!!

Salsa. YESSSSS! That's me convinced. Salsa's pretty high up my bucket list..........

Thanks Napps. Been tough but life goes on. Was lucky we had "that conversation" beforehand where I was I suppose told in no uncertain terms not to hide away. And thanks on the Zumba. Going for it tomorrow night. It's only a 60 yard walk home afterward...or should I say crawl/stagger!!!!

And this is someone in Fife, Scotland calling: all those who can encourage me and inspire me are SO welcome to offer friendship!!!

Am also new on here looking for friends to add on here: guys and girls who can inspire me to reach my goals but also encourage me when I'm not doing as well........ happy to talk to anyone........ but might struggle to express myself after my first ever Zumba class this coming Monday......

Yeah jacques57 I've been warned about that, but hopefully the body will be able to cope. I played basketball and volleyball for years and only packed in a couple of years ago. But I WILL warm up!!!

I'm not Scottish, aethre, but lived up here for 11 years, and have been to a few Ceilidhs so have done a bit of Scottish dancing. And the guys just don't care when the whisky is flowing!!! So yep I'm going to do it. 9lbs gone, 33 to go, so I can only make a total fool of myself!!!!

Until today, SKR I've thought the same as you!!! But the people I know who go to various classes in the area all have no problem with it: in fact there's one of the classes run by a guy with his wife helping him. What the hell........

Thanks for that!!! I'm definitely going to give it a go!!! I suppose the worst bit is that its a small village and there's bound to be someone there who I know!!!! Nothing ventured nothing gained, though!!!
