  • It's public for friends only Mrs. Brosco.
  • Hello Friends, I couldn't log on yesterday because I was so so busy. On Sunday I did my Aqua Zumba certification. That's 6+ hours of active exercise. Alright folks, this is where I need some support. Yesterday I weighed in and I gained FOUR pounds! Today I weighted and I gained SIX…
  • Sick! And meniscus tear is aggravated. I am not going to teach class tonight so my four hours of weekly dance for Wednesday isn't happening. I am going to try and take the dog for a walk and see if I can make it without too much pain in the knee.
  • I made exercise a part of my life . . . literally. It's part of my job; I teach and practice bellydance and Zumba. Some days I have 1500 calorie burns just because I am so busy teaching. I think that becoming a Zumba instructor forces me to exercise because I have to plan routines. I see that you work 45 hours a week, so…
  • I give myself a little more "permission" to have an extra hundred calories or so when I work out hard. But, I have to be careful because often I eat too much when I allow myself to eat all of the calories back. If you come to a plateau you can make changes but if you're losing at a steady rate then what you are doing is…
  • PICKED UP A NEW SCALE!!! This one says I weigh less than I guesstimated and my husband says it's pretty accurate, I am excited because according to new scale I've lost about 2.5 lbs. this week : ) WEEK ONE: Challenge Starting Weight: 211.6 Current Weight: 208.9# Difference: 2.7# Christmas Goal Weight: 180# Current Size: 14…
  • I'll be buying a new scale after dance tonight.
  • So, I changed my weight from last week and I had to guesstimate today's because my scale is on the fritz and of course I forgot to weigh in at the gym.
  • Response to fun question: Christmas now has a new meaning to me! My daughter was born on Christmas eve! The year before she was born I miscarried on Christmas eve, so it was like she wasn't ready yet ; ) Every year we have a big party for her so it's like a birthday and Christmas all in one and it just feels so happy! I…

Lows of last week: Ate WAY too much over the weekend! My girlfriend had an eggroll party at my…
  • Hi Barri, Coffee is the way that I work around the whole eating too early - afraid I might eat too much scenario. However, this isn't always the problem solver that I hope it will be. I hope that your day gets better!
  • I love working out with my friends! That's what makes dancing for me so fulfilling! Have a wonderful weekend and good luck to the hubs!
  • Happy Friday! Did we decide on whether weigh in would be Fridays or Monday? My scale died so I will have to make sure that I weigh in at the gym. This is not my favorite thing to do but it's probably better that I don't have the scale at home; this way I don't become obsessive compulsive about losing. This morning I…
  • Wow! Wednesdays kick my booo - tay! Water aerobics for, usually 60 mins but had to get out early cuz my suit was falling off! :noway: Then about an hour, maybe more, of Zumba. After that I went to T.A. for the belly dance studio where I dance. That's four solid hours of exercise in the evening! I am beat! And, I have no…
  • Hi, I'm Lisa and I would love to join this challenge! I have two children, my son is 6 and my daughter is 3 1/2. I have been overweight, well, forever. I am on a new journey now. In addition to teaching college, I have been hired to teach Zumba and AquaZumba. I am also a semi-pro belly dancer. My problem isn't exercise, my…
  • This is really interesting! I find that as I age I definitely am "gaining" at least three pounds every month and then "losing" it again because of Aunt Flo! SO FRUSTRATING!
  • This doesn't seem to do the trick for me : ( I am a belly dancer and I teach Zumba. I exercise a LOT! It's the appetite that gets me in the end. But, I love the Quik idea. I didn't even consider that!
