Make sure you're eating all your calories..you won't lose if you're not eating enough..and a slow loss is better.. It stays off longer ... Plus watch how your clothes are fitting..you can be losing inches, which is just as important..
-
Are you eating enough ? If you're not, you won't lose weight... I found that out personally..you need to at least eat your minimum calories plus eat back your exercise calories....at least a part of those.

Sounds so good!!!

Ditto on what Dragonwolf said! I also have a lady in my Zumba classes that still does her jumping & lunges and some high impact stuff and she's maybe 4 mths pregnant...BUT she's been already doing zumba like a year, i think....Plus, she stops and rests when she feels the need... It's how you feel...but don't start…

I remember where I used to be and that I do NOT want to be there in my life again. I keep a picture that I can look at of what I "used" to be....that is motivation right there... I may have that same pic on here posted...I was at my heaviest at that point in my life...go to my profile, I think it's there....if its not, I…

Chocolate AND chips!!!! Atkins Protein Bars in anything chocolate helps with that craving but as to the chips, I haven't found anything to replace them!!! Any ideas anybody???

I do the same thing girl! Some weekends, I do great..others, I totally mess up...and yet I'll still keep to those calories....I just sometimes eat horribly!!! It's like I'm so relaxed for the weekend that all bets are off!! And I really want to do good too!!

I started a diet last year from July 2010 to March 2011 and lost close to 30lbs....I got it from a personal trainer and followed it to a T for 7 months...It wasn't easy but I wanted to lose that weight.. Plus I was heavy into Zumba, walking and hitting the gym...all while going to college full time....I'm still in full…

If he treated me that way, I'd be like... eff him! I don't and won't put up with a man treating me like *kitten* just because he's going through some issues. I've walked away from that before... NO man needs to treat their wife that way. If he's always been that way, I'd walk out...I highly recommend it if you have the…

I don't know if a month is good....2 weeks tops...but that also depends on you and your system....

Definitely grill it! It's best that way....

Get an HRM!

Yeah, when you hit a plateau you need to confuse your body...mix things up...do it in a different order than normal...up your calories a bit too...even take a day to cheat a bit(it confuses the body when you do that) I've even done where I didn't exercise for a week and then started back in after that week and it helped…

Remember..what you see on Youtube is a bit different then the DVD's you'll purchase...but it will give you a great head start!!!!

A vegan friend of mine says she drinks Coconut Milk...and just LOVES the stuff!
-
@change_happens - it takes a little bit of time to get the steps down...but once you do, it turns into some high intensity for you, if you want it to!! Everyone comes into Zumba at their own level of fitness and you modify what you have a hard time "catching" until you do! It's really not about dancing or knowing how to…
-
Eat your exercise calories...I found that when I don't eat enough calories, I don't lose the weight I want to lose....So I know it's weird but you need to eat more to lose...

Hello Jasmine! Welcome! I love all things sweet as well...and sweets can be my downfall too!!! I don't like treadmills or ellipticals, cuz you're just not going anywhere! lol...but I can deal with a stairstepper! I do prefer to walk outside with flat areas and hills, works the azz really well! But like you Zumba is my…

I was about 41 when I started on my journey..I am now 49. My oldest is 29, my middle 26 and my youngest is 17...From the age of 41 to 42, I lost 50lbs by doing WW, Curves, Tae Bo, and power walking 5-6 days a week. I kept that first 50 off since 2003. Last year July, I decided I still needed to lose a bit more and get more…
-
Yep! Same here with my classes..I teach 3 days a week and I know I'm doing more than 500 cals in that hour...I like them high intensity..I feel like I'm getting a good cardio workout and so do the ladies in my classes...They don't take to the easy stuff as well so I have to keep it intense... My legs are strong from…
-
The only thing I'll say about Zumba Calories .com is that it calculates low...I have done as much as 930 cals in an hour at high intensity..and that's using an HRM......and at this site it calculates it as 506 cals....
-
Welcome! Feel free to add me!! =)
-
I logged it in as Zumba and estimated the calories..based on previous workouts and an HRM from one of the ladies in my classes... Also, with Zumba it is anywhere from 500-1000 calories per hour...depending upon how intense you get with it...how intense the workout itself is...I have had an HRM monitor at 930 cals in one of…
-
I usually eat a carb/protein combo before a good workout and then protein after for the muscles to repair properly...
-
It's what some of the ladies in my class do too...
-
Also, go to Youtube and look up Zumba....You'll find all kinds of videos that you can watch and try and you'll see basic steps in the routines... Look up this one guy on there under Crazysock tv....He's very good with a bunch of routines....easy to follow too...
