Need a little advice for amusement park
In the past, when I have gone to Six Flags, I have not been able to fit into the safety harnesses that go over your head and fasten between your legs. One of my favorite rides, The Batman at Six Flags St. Louis is like that and with much humiliation, I was too fat to ride it a couple of year ago. So while my friends were…

Zumba Toning
I am going to start Zumba toning (have been doing regular Zumba workout since October) on Monday. I have never, ever layed my hands on any types of weights, so this is all totally new to me. Anyone else do it? What do you think? Anyone have any clue how many calories you burn in a 1/2 hour session? Sara S.

How do you not get over-heated?
It was 87 degrees today in St. Louis and while the place where I work-out had the air conditioner on, it was still really hot during my Zumba class.

What to do when you are sick?

Yes my marriage failed. What does that have to do with my car insurance? (or whatever form I am filling out). Is there ever a point in life…

Need work-out ideas
One of my biggest issues with working out is that I get bored quickly with it. I have been doing Zumba since October. I still enjoy the live Zumba class that I take. However, I have been doing Zumba on the Wii on the days when the class is not offered. It is alright, but I am getting bored of the same songs and moves. Any…

When do you start noticing non-scale success?
Today makes 20 pounds lost in the past 6 weeks. I can see the changing number on the scale, but I honestly do not see it otherwise. My clothes fit exactly the same and I look exactly the same as I did 6 weeks ago. I know it is basically different for each person, but when should I expect to start seeing a change in myself?…

I lost 3 pounds this week. I went to Golden Corral Buffet on Friday night and ate a delicious meal. I was careful with what I had but still ate things I enjoyed. Total lost is 16 pounds. Sara S.
