I encourage you to join the "Zumba Lovers" group here on MFP. Under the community tab, right by "Message Boards" there is a "Groups" tab. Click on that then search "Zumba Lovers" we always talk about zumba music and dvds. I'm the moderator for that group and if you have any questions please let me know.

I flaunt all the time, if you feel comfortable in your own skin then do it. I do not strut around acting like I am better than others but I am in my 20's. I know that when I get older I won't be able to wear shorts like I do now. I am conservative and respect others on the way I flaunt and what I wear but I also hold my…

I'm 4'10" and 95 pounds and I can't eat that much. I will get too full and I will end up feeling like I over ate and will have no room in my body to drink water and hydrate properly. Everyone's body is different so it may work for others.

Just under where it says "group" search for "Zumba Lovers" and you can join. Super fun!

So I should just wait it out? I suppose if she wants me to find her a class or come to mine I'll help her out. I'll just need to ignore all her cries on facebook.

Yeah she specifically asked for advice, her excuse was that she had a kid and it was hard to eat well and exercise. I suggested that she made healthy meals for the whole family to eat. Plus her kid can go on a walk with her and when she gets older they can play games, jump rope or even run together. I personally think that…

I'm trying. I am always a giver and a helper, one reason of why I teach fitness. Part of me wants to help everyone.

Can't everyone just get along? lol Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me if you need a friend.

Just go down as far as you can. Make sure your knees don't go over your toes and make sure your back is aligned. I have my group fitness certification through AFAA and that is one thing that I stress about with my zumba and aqua zumba students. alignment matters when it comes to properly doing squats.

Feel free to add me. I am an active Zumba instructor and licensed for group fitness with AFAA. I love encouraging others to do better and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Anyone can add me, welcome to mfp!!

I have a 24" chest waist so hopefully it will adjust that far. They do have a woman's one that is pink but the strap also comes in a medium. I looked at one review and she said she was petite and it worked but who knows. They sell size small straps on amazon for $20 but I really don't wanna buy one if I don't need it.

What brand of HRM do u have?

I'm just worried the strap won't fit. It says it's a M-XXL but I have a small waist and im afraid it'll be too big.

I actually found one, its the Polar FT4. It has a chest strap and watch so it calculates both. The one I bought is for cross training and fitness. I mainly do Zumba so I needed a simple one. They also have ones that have GPS. http://www.polar.com/us-en/products/get_active/fitness_crosstraining/FT4

I am reading the third book of the Comanche series, Indigo Blue by Catherine Anderson.

I just finished Comanche Heart by Catherine Anderson. Is it bad to read the second book of a series before the first book? lol I am currently reading Wolf Runner by O'Banyon. I started reading it yesterday and I'm more than half way done.

New book!! I'm reading Prelude to a Scandal by Delilah Marvelle.

Mistress of the Storm by Terri Brisbin. I really need to join a book club. lol

I got hooked on Native American romances. I just finished "Reckless Heart" by Madeline Baker and now I'm reading the second book of the series "Reckless Love." I suggest that people read them, they're good reads for those hopeless romantics. :)

Homemade hummus is amazing!!! I would also try different types of beans, tofu and protein shakes.

Yoplait yogurt, strawberries, special K chocolate delight cereal, and orange juice!

I'm like dying. lol I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to lose those couple pounds.

50 pounds? Find something that is realistic for you. I'm 4'10" and 88 pounds. That is still skinny for me. I'm trying to expand my stomach, to gain weight that's comfortable for me and to do it in a healthy way. That's realistic. We all care about u here so go see a doctor.

I feel the same way. You are not alone. My profile pic is a year old. Last year I was a vegetarian. I need to redo my pic. I do Zumba 5 times a week and yoga 3 times a week. But ya, I feel the same way you do about my image.

At least one sweet a day so i don't gorge, drink plenty of water, get plenty of fruit and eat three meals a day at least.

Homemade hummus!!!

I can swim but not every well. I'm a lot better in the shallow end. lol I can swim, doggy paddle and sink. lol
