Does Zumba really burn 600 calories per hour?
I find it hard to believe we really burn 600 calories in an hour of Zumba. I do Zumba twice a week. If I had to guess, I would say it's more like 300. Anyone else feel that way?

Zumba and exercise bike
How do I get Zumba, my exercise bike, and workouts to log automatically? So far I don't add anything manually. Also, the Surge underestimates my Zumba calories, saying about 200 for an hour of Zumba. The bike and workouts don't log automatically at all. There seems to be a timer on the Surge but I always forget to start…

Before and After
I want to thank you all for this. I owe a lot of my sucess to you guys. You taught me so much about eating healthy, logging my food, and keeping up with the exercise. And yes, I also owe it to diet pills, so if you want to condemn me, go for it. I'm proud of myself, and my doctor is weaning me off of the pills over six…

Saggy skin after losing weight
l lost twenty five percent of my body weight in seven months. It left me with very saggy skin. I didn't do resistance training while I was losing weight. I am doing Zumba twice a week. Now I am doing resistance training two or three times a week for 30 minutes. Is there anything I can do to make my skin not look like my…

Should I use protein powder?
This is a real dilemma for me. Friends who see my food diary say I am not getting enough protein. I just don't like the idea of how processed protein powder is. I don't drink smoothies. It's just not part of my diet, I don't like them. But everyone is telling me to use protein powder. I just don't know what to do.

What's a good bra for Zumba?
My Zumba teacher said she just wears two sports bras. That sounds like it might be uncomfortable.

Picture of your meal app that records calories
My son has an app on his iPhone where he tales pictures of his plate of food, and somehow the actual calories are notated. I looked it up online and it seems to be MealSnap. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meal-snap-calorie-counting/id425203142?mt=8 I have a Nexus 5. Do you know if anything like SnapMeals is available for…

How do I log this meal?
I went to a restaurant tonight. I ordered steak fajitas. I asked the waitress not to bring the rice, beans, or tortillas. So far so good. I ate half of the rest of the meal. It was steak, peppers, and onions as far as I could tell, probably sautéed. This has been my first experience with logging calories. Counting calories…

Pre-Maintenance
This is a thread for all of us that have never done maintenance before, and want to prepare so we can be ready for maintenance. Many of us have yo-yo dieted. We have lost the weight, then gained it all back, only to repeat the cycle. Let's figure this out together! I only have 12 more pounds to lose until I go into…

Am I the only one that takes it at night?
My problem has always been snacking after dinner, and eating too much at dinner. I started taking it at 4pm, and gradually worked up to taking it at 730pm. It really helps me not snack. Does anyone else take Phen at night?

Just wanted to say hi and join the group
I've taken Phentermine before. Most times I didn't watch what I ate, just depended on the appetite suppression to lose weight. This time is different. This time I am plugging my food in there, and doing cardio at least four times a week. What's your story?

No more yo-yo!
Greetings. I'm sure a lot of you can relate to yo-yo dieting. I am done with it. I have done it so many times! This was the last time. I do not want to lose weight, then gain it back, and then some, faster than I lost it. I am tired of it. Here's an example of what my weight looked like this past year. I'm so done with…

Do you still log calories and exercise?
I've been yo-yo dieting for years. I never took maintenance seriously before. This time, I am tracking my calories and exercise, which I also never did before. Doesn't logging your calories and exercise get tiresome after awhile? I can't imagine doing this my whole life, but I don't want to gain the weight back, either. I…
