Glad you are doing better. I haven't tried power walking. Will do so. Saturday is my next 5K. Looking forward to it! Baltimore hills here I come!

Great job! and thanks for sharing the idea. Sometimes the scale can be so brutally discouraging that this is a great way to stay motivated.

I like that daily commitment. Yesterday I did day 2 and just added my regular zumba class at the gym to it.

Indeed! As the group name states - 40 and Fabulous!!!

Day 1 down, 29 to go :)

It's Jilian Michaels' workout http://www.amazon.com/Jillian-Michaels-30-Day-Shred/dp/B00127RAJY

I will squeeze it in on days I don't have zumba - love my zumba classes more! Also running a 5k in Sept. so will def. skip that day :) Let's shred.

You look great! And must feel even better. Very inspiring! Congrats!

The hills are a killer for me too (in Baltimore city). Pacing is important. I use Mapmyrun or Mapmywak apps to work on my pacing. I'm at the 12 min mile in the last few tries. Hope it will build endurance for the real day, but I run around where I live and the hills are not as bad.

My next 5Ks - In them to run not really compete. 5K Nun Run - Sept. 13, 2014 http://www.littlesistersofthepoorbaltimore.org/news-events/265-nun-run-flyer Should be a lot of fun!! Little sisters of the poor sure are inspiring, and this is a great course. 5K in the Baltimore Marathon - Oct. 18, 2014…

I think you are doing great!! Hang in there. Enjoy the small victories. Sometimes we are so stressed out about losing weight that the stress acts against us. I should know! Last three months Zumba three times a week, running other days and counting my points on weight watchers. Have not lost a single pound!!!!! Frustration…

Thanks for the info - learning a lot.

On the home page ("My Home" tab) you have an add food button, and an add exercise button. Alternatively, you can click on the exercise and food tabs. If you are told you are "under" it must be because you clicked "complete this entry" on the food tab which you don't need to do until the day ends (thus the message that you…

New here. Working towards losing 25 pounds. Not for a specific event coming up but back in 2005 I got to my goal weight with weight watchers and maintained my weight for several years. The last year and a half I've put on 20 lbs. How? I don't know but oddly enough less eating and less exercising. Since I started my PhD in…

LOVE Zumba too. I enjoy salsa dancing, merengue, bachata with my husband. Will probably do some dancing this long holiday weekend :smile:

It seems to work for me but it's only my first day. When I click on the exercise tab, I see it listed as "aerobics, general". However I'm wondering if I am double counting. I plug my pedometer to my phone each night to push the data to MapMyWalk. I wear the pedometer all day (including when I do Zumba class). But I noticed…
