second time around, need friends
Hi, this is my second time around. I met my goal weight last year and have managed to gain almost all of it back. I am going to start fresh tomorrow. I am very disappointed and discouraged with myself. I am looking for friends who have the same issue, lose and gain back. Hoping to cheer each other on to get the weight back…

HEART RATE MONITOR/ZUMBA
I have been doing Zumba sincer January and am having great results. Last week I decided to buy a heart rate monitor. I have worn it twice to Zumba and I am only burning 150 calories a work out!!! I really thought it would be more than that. Is any one else wearing a HRM to Zumba? What results are you getting?

Goal weight achieved!!!
I did it!!! I hit my goal weight today. 162 to 134 lbs. I took 5 months. I have to say the time did go fast. Cloths size from 10-12 to 4-6. Now the maintaining phase. I feel better than I have in years. I love my workout routines and can't imagine ever stopping them (especially Zumba). But I have to remember not to start…

Question for those now trying to maintain their weight
I am 1.2 lbs away from my goal weight. I just went into tools and calculated my BMR. I am currently eating 1200 cals/day. I rarely eat back any excersice cals I burn. I have been losing 1-2 lbs/week. Which I think is a healthy loss. To be honest, I was hoping once I reached my goal, I would gain a couple hundred extra…

NSV
I took my first Zumba class back in December. A woman I know was in the class. After the class we both said we were too old for this kind of exercise. I did go back to Zumba in January, I stuck with it and now it is my favorite exercise. I can't wait to get there. She came back to the class last week (I had not seen her…

Question for those who have met their goal weight
I'm about 5 lbs away from my goal weight. I am hoping to hit it by Memorial Day weekend. What frightens me is maintaining the weight. When you hit your goal, does MFP automatically tell you how many more cals to eat? Do I need to research a plan before I reach my goal weight? What have you done to maintain?

I won the Biggest Loser contest at work
I did it!!! I won the Biggest Loser contest at work. I was so excited!! Not for the money or the "bragging rights". But because I achieved!!! My new goal, to lose my last few pounds and keep it off. I don't want to have to be in the contest next January. I want to have kept my weight off and not need to do it again.

Has anyone received any negativity about their weight lose?
I have been careful not to be "showy" about my weight lose. But I have received a few negative looks and smirks. Someone said to me the other day, "Oh, your wearing skinny jeans now?" It was very sarcastic sounding. Truth is, the jeans I was wearing I bought back in October and had worn them several times before starting…

Looking for tips to tighten my lower stomach
I have lost 20 lbs since January. I do Zumba, Curves and walk when weather permits, which has not only helped with the weight loss but toning. I see muscle I never knew I had. However, that below the belly button part of my stomach is being very stubborn. Any advice? I was thinking of buying one of those velcro wraps that…

Thinking of changing my goal weight
When I started my diet in January, I decided on a goal weight of 125 lbs. I looked up online how to determine my frame. It said to put your fingers around the smallest part of your wrist and if your fingers and thumb over lap, you are a small frame. Okay, mine do. So I am 5'4" and a small frame. An ideal weight for me…

STARTING TO GET COMPLIMENTS
I am starting to get alot of compliments on my weight loss. My Zumba instructer has even made a few comments to me. I usually just say "Thank you, I am really working very hard at it" Does that sound okay to say? I don't want to feel, well, like I am showing it off. Especially because I am in Biggest Loser contest at work…

THIS REALLY MADE MY DAY
I was a little upset last Thursday morning (my weigh in day) because I had not lost any weight that week. Well, I put on one of my favorite pair of pants today and rushed off to a dentist appointment before work. I was in a hurry and the roads were a little icy, (gotta love Central NY, I don't think winter is ever going to…

HEART RATE MONITOR/ZUMBE (UPDATE)
Well, I took everyone's advice and returned my original HRM and purchased one with a strap. I burnt 582 calories today in Zumba and 150 on the Curves Circuit. Much better!!!! My instructor put in a few new routines today, so a probably wasn't working as hard as I do when we do the ones I already know. Thanks for all the…

This morning was the first I sent a reply when the topic was Zumba. I have become an addict. I told myself this was the year I was going to really lose the…
