I know what u mean!!! that's a shame that it seems clicky. :frown: try another class with a different instructor. There are 5 where I go and I definitely have my favorite. :smile: Keep me posted on your other experiences!!!

Welcome!!! I'm new also. I wish I could help with the calorie/carb thing, but i think if you track everything and u see the carb level go into the - red zone (lol) take that food off and don't eat it. I find myself adding a food to the track before I eat it just to see what it will do to my counts. The other night, i had…

:laugh: totally agree!!!! when i don't know the moves, i just make sure I'm moving some kind of way!!! haha....

Thanks for that heads up about the DVD's!!! I went to my class tonight for the first time in 2 weeks...i can't move!!! haha...i did a 10k on Saturday in New Orleans (my first) AND I AM STILL SORE!!!

DEFINITELY use the tools here!!!! it was very eye opening to me to see how many calories i was eating in a day....the food data base is a good place to search for items you normally eat and cut back at first!!! fresh fruit is the best way to go to add nutrition without carbs, etc. tuna salad, chicken salad, grilled…

please let us know what u thought!!!!

thanks so much!!! it really is!!!

haha!!! u can tell i'm new here b/c i was logging in 30 minutes of cleaning just to earn a few extra calories!:bigsmile: not sure that's a smart thing to keep doing after reading this!!!:huh: haha...thanks!!!

700 calories!? YIPPEEE!!haha...i'll remember that tonight!!! rollerblading really burns too!!!! 45 min. burns almost 600!!!!

thanks for the responses!!! i guess a heart rate monitor is necessary!!! i'll just log it under dancing or i'll create my own entry!!!! the classes ARE a lot of fun....but i want a video for when i can't go! i find myself googling videos!! haha...sure u have done that also!::embarassed:

haha!!! i am totally not coordinated!!! i just do what i want if i fall behind or mess up!!! no, it's not!!! the music makes it fun!!!! do your own thing!!!

wow, natalie!!!! just looking over your signature stats!!! awesome!!!! i'd like to get down to 126 again!!! not sure what my body fat % is right now!!!! i think i'm carrying muscle weight..i'm at 137 but my clothes are pretty much still fitting that i wore at 126....just more snug....can't wait for May to see where I am!!…

thanks!!!! I agree!!!!!:bigsmile: everyone needs to try it!!! it's so much fun!!!! i must say that i am still breathing heavy haha...:ohwell: so i bet i'm burning a good bit!!! I don't have a HRM but will look for one soon!!!! :drinker:

i feel the same way!!!!! i have been going (missed last week) FOR OVER a month now and actually gained weight. that is why i joined this site so that i can monitor my calories. I would like to slim down, tone up, AND lose weight....keep it up!!! cut back on a few calories, and drink plenty of water!

i've been going to zumba classes for over a month now. I just joined this forum yesterday and have never tracked my calories.....so i was not seeing weight loss results but definitely toning. which dvd did you buy??? i'm very interested in getting one for days when i can't go to the gym.

I'm new here, but i figured out that under the exercise tab, there's a data log section that i type in "walking" and it gives you options for brisk, etc. Hit "add exercise" AND search walking in the data above it! just click on which walk you want and put how many minutes. the computer does the REST! wooohooo!!! hope that…
