Great Idea, I am in :happy:

I will join you, I will be just a week behind. I am starting tomorrow morning. Please feel free to add me as a friend. Best of Luck!!!

I will join you in your journey! I am starting on the same day as well. I have done the prep schedule, now I am going to start the 5 month schedule. Friend me if you want so we can keep each other accountable. I have not worked out in a month, because of my new job, but I am getting back to it because I miss it. :smile:

Shape Magazine's website has FREE workout downloads every month. Only like about 5 songs but great remixes. :)

I have a 10 year old son, who is in the same situation. We, me & my children, went through a family weight loss program that is offered where we live, & it was very educational. I do however blame myself for my child being overweight. Alot of it was due to lack of education, which this class taught us pretty much…

I just checked out Bokwa & it looks like fun. I enjoy Zumba, but............ BOKWA, is a trademarked name and workout that is derived from a combination of two words. "BO" represents the light boxing and "KWA" representing the cultural and traditional dance Kwaito, hence, BOKWA is born. It is an intense cardiovascular…

Sundays, as well. The day of rest, NO EXERCISE!!!!!! :)

Anyone else in this group feel free to add me as a friend to keep me accountable. :wink:

I am w/ you girl! I am going to make Sunday my cheat day & my exercise rest day. What a wonderful idea for a group. Thanks for letting me join. :drinker:

I love my Fitbit!!!

I have heard, "Are you losing weight, cause you look good? Did you have that surgery too???" I look at them, smile & say no. I just started exercising & watching what I ate. I can't believe now that so many ppl think that is the only way to lose weight. No offense to anyone who has done the surgery, plz forgive me if you…

Thank you for this post, I have been in the same situation for a couple of months. I noticed I have started to gain weight, & I wanted to lose. But I lowered my calorie intake & set my weight loss at 2 lbs. a week. I am going to switch back to a little higher. Maybe that will help me start back to losing again. Thank you…

I agree. Its nice to know that back then you didn't have to be a size 2 to be considered sexy. I would like to see someone who is about the same measurements to play the part. But this just my opinon.

You don't have to have any rhythm, as long as your moving your doing Zumba! That is the best part about it!!! :wink:

If I don't come out of class being completely drenched w/ sweat, I am not working hard enough!

:happy: I have been doing Zumba since July 28th, 2011. It has been a great confidence builder for me & I love the way I feel when I complete the class. I have a wonderful instructor & she keeps us all motivated & inspired. I have made wonderful friends as well & we all just love to get together & shake it! We workout for…

You can go to zumbacalories.com & it will give you a guesstimate of how much you burn & at what intensity.

believe it or not a little bit of lubricant, like KY is good to keep you from chaffing. May sound silly, but it works.

You don't have to go to classes, unless you want to. If you look into ordering at FlirtyGirlFitness.com. They have DVDs & poles you can order & workout right at home. Plus, if you wanted they also have instuctor training, so you can start your own classes. Just a little FYI. Have fun!!! :wink:

Me & my husband will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary Sept. 17th of this year. We dated for 3 yrs, engaged for 9 months. Plus, we were friends for 5 yrs. before we even started dating. I was 32 & my husband was 27 when we married. Til' this day I adore my husband & I am still extremely attracted to my husband!!!…

I needed this advice as well, due to the fact I too am a stress eater & have plateaued here in the past 2 months, I have not gained or lost so I definately need a jump start.

I haven't done the AquaZumba yet, we will be starting that this summer, but I have done water aerobics & its the resistance you get from the water.

Terrific Job, I love it when clothes that I have had before, fit comfortably now!!! I know how you feel. Great Job!

The only thing I really like there anymore is the Southwest Grilled Chicken Salads w/ Southwest Dressing. They are so awesome. Every once in a while I might have something less healthy, especially if I am craving fries. :blushing:

I had ran into an a guy that I had dated at one time & we agreed to go out one night. He calls me up & asks if I would like to go out, & I said yes....well come to find out when he came to pick me up that evening I noticed there was a girl in the car driving. When I got into the car, he introduced me to his gf!!!! How…

I know how you feel, I am the same way in front of my husband. My kids go w/ me to exercise class so its not big thing to them.

I Love Zumba too! My favorite exercise!! Burns ALOT of calories in one hour!!! :happy:

I love my Kinect, my husband & I purchase games for ours whenever we can. I have the Your Shape, Zumba, Dance Central, & I am looking to get the UFC Trainer. I think that would be an awesome workout. As soon as I can I am also getting Your Shape 2012, Zumba 2, & Dance Cental 2. I love how you have to get up & move with the…

:smile: I can see a difference, you have definately lost. Wonderful Job!!!

Girl, you look amazing. I know how hard it is to want to keep working out, I think we all do. But to get to where we are going we have to keep working toward what we want. I know you feel fabulous. Trust me after the Holidays I feel as if I gained weight, so now it is time to take it off & then some!! Keep up the good work…
