I have the exact same goals. Sending you a friend request. Good luck!

Zumba! It keeps your heart rate up, and all the hip twisting is helping my stomach.

As has already been said, it really is up to you, and it depends on what kind of mom you want to be. My bf and I decided to have a baby when I was 21, he was 26 at that time. At the age of 21, I had already traveled a lot, and did a lot of the things that I wanted to do. When people found out that I was pregnant, they…

Totally understand spam. Spam is eaten a lot in Hawai'i as well.

Oh wow! Great to find another Oahu-ian on here, let alone someone from Hawaii.

BTW, I see your screen name is Leilani. Are you from Hawaii by any chance?

I'm actually in the same situation. My birthday is coming up next week, and my parents want to take me out to dinner. I know that I'm not going to be making the best food choices, so I'm going to make up for it by going to a Zumba class in the morning, and one at night.

Great to know! Sometimes I end my workouts at 930-10pm due to work, and I also try to fight to urge to eat since I can't afford to stay up to till 1am due to the "no eating 3 hrs before sleep" rule. Glad that myths been dispelled.

Not every teacher teaches the same dances, so it depends. I can tell you that my class involves some pivoting and stepping. The thing I will tell you is not to rush it, and take your time. Most Zumba classes kind of throw you in it, and you just have to follow the instructor. I know the first class I went to, I was…

I wouldn't recommend trying to lose weight, but again every situation is different. I was following the normal pregnancy diet, and eating the recommended extra 300 calories. Then when I hit 38 weeks, my doctor realized my son was underweight because I had something wrong with my umbilical cord, and I had to be induced. He…

Love Zumba! Just started last week, have been to four classes so far. Hoping that it helps out with my weight loss.

I'm also looking for mamas in the same situation. I'm a mother of a 15 month old son, and am trying to gain back my pre-pregnancy body. Feel free to add me everyone!

I also just joined, and am in search of a few motivating friends. Feel free to add me.

I'm in the same situation as you. I've recently started going to Zumba class with my relatives, and after a week everyone lost weight except for me. It's very frustrating, but I'm just going to stick with it. Hopefully with time, the weight will soon fall off. Good luck!
