ZUMBA! (and turbokick)
Anyone do much of these? I just started going this week (plan on doing ZUMBA 4 times a week and turbokick 1 time per week). Anyone have stories of losing weight with these?

NSV today!
Today a co-worker came in for the first time since December (had been on leave) and the first thing she asked me was if I had lost weight! She's the first person to notice so far.

Not eating enough
Everyday I eat what I feel like is a decent amount and I'm still 400-500 calories short of meeting my goal (not to mention over 100 g of carbs too) Suggestions on what to eat? I feel like I'm eating all the food in my house and still not getting enough.

Any 5'7 girls out there?
What is your current weight and goal weight? How have you been working it off? I'm 5'7 and 21 y/o, hoping to get to 130 lbs, currently at 171. Most of my weight is in my thights/butt, so if anyone has suggestions for working out those areas I'm all ears!

Lean Cuisine?
Anyone know if Lean Cuisine is actually healthy for you or if it will help you with weight loss? I've been relatively overweight my entire adult life (currently 21 y.o female, 5'7 and my biggest is 182 lbs. Hoping to get to 130 lbs) I've never had much knowledge on healthy food or what makes a healthy diet, and I bought a…

Strength workouts??
So I have my cardio routine down, but have been told I need to be doing strength training BEFORE my cardio at the gym if I really want to lose more fat and weight. I have literally never done a single strength exercise in my life so I have no idea where to start! Was hoping to get advice here. I have heard to do like…
