Thank you for the info, it's very helpful. Congratulations on your weight loss, you look beautiful.

I have the original set, Zumba Fitness, which I love. I haven't had the opportunity to try the Exhilarate yet. Keep me posted.

welcome.

Welcome. Feel free to add me as a friend,.:flowerforyou:

Don't beat yourself up, you are more than your weight. You need to believe that you're worth it, that you deserve to be healthier and you don't have to wait to be thinner to be happy. Have an attitude adjustment and be proud of things you've already accomplished in your life. If you don't believe in yourself, no one else…

Just enter zumba under cardio - the amount of minutes and it will calculate calories.

Welcome, and good luck.

Awesome! That's a great feeling isn't it? I remember when I first saw that I had a wrist bone, I was giddy with excitement - well maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I sure was happy!

I've had my Kindle for a couple of years and I love it. There are loads of free books and games available and thousands to buy, all at various prices. Honestly, I get more free stuff than anything else. The current model for $114 has these pop-ups and offers that appear randomly, very often. I just bought the $140 model…

Don't beat yourself up over a little slip, just get right back to basics. Slow and steady wins the race. Feel free to add me as a friend and support.

Congratulations!

It helps me to stay on track by logging in after each meal, then if I find I've overdone it, I still have plenty of time to "correct" myself. Hope this helps a little.

so cool

omg, this could not be a more timely topic for me. I just can't eat all my exercise calories and lose weight. If someone can help me to figure out how to do this, I would really appreciate it.

I just happened to spot your post as I was sitting here eating my Hungry Girl special egg mug - which is delicious and 122 calories. I haven't been disappointed yet on any of her recipes. I have her cookbooks, and she's also on TV on Sunday mornings so I record that and get more ideas. Good luck and try it, I don't think…

Welcome. I joined mfp in July. There are many supportive people on this site. It sounds like you're off to a good start.

I'm new to mfp as well, joined in July. I used to weigh myself every day, but I was giving that scale so much power over my mood. Even if I knew I was on track with my food and exercise, if the scale didn't go down or if it stayed the same for a while, I felt so defeated and ready to quit. I've taken a hiatus from the…

The mind is a powerful thing. Just keep doing the right thing, you felt great until you saw a picture and were then disappointed - all the more reason to keep working at your goal. Pictures can be as bad as the scale for altering your mood, and that's all it is, a mood and it will change again, just stick to it, keep a…

If you know you're watching your diet and exercising, patience and perseverance are key. Don't let the scale rule your life and ruin your day.

Don't beat yourself up. You got right back on track, and if you're like me, that's a big change from past behavior, so that's a big deal!

I love this workout as well. I have to admit I'm not consistent enough with it, but you will see results quickly. I can't figure out how to count the calories burned doing this though. Can anyone help with this?

I couldn't agree with you more. I think we're all here for the same reasons, and we've all had enough negativity in our lives. The unconditional support that I've received on this site is priceless. I have come across negative posts, but I just click it and forget it. I feel it's so important to just be nice and respectful…

I never found the weight to be accurate on my balance board either. I have a Weight Watchers scale which is great.

Congratulations on all your hard work. I know for me, I have not been eating my exercise calories. I burn a lot of calories biking and I do Zumba as well. I try to keep it at 1200. Banking calories for the next day doesn't work for me, it just sets me up to cheat and make the wrong choices. On the other hand, yesterday I…

Yes they are filling and the fiber has the desired effect. With a glass of almond milk, it makes a nice light lunch, especially if you're on the go. (no pun intended.)

On another fitness site, a Zumba instructor stated that 500-700 calories an hour are burned doing Zumba, depending on the intensity.

Amazing, you look beautiful. Keep up the good work.
