You can go to zumbacalories.com and enter your weight, duration etc. and figure out your calories burned. Then you can create a rumba exercise and input this information. I burned 693 calories for 1 hour of moderate Zumba on Saturday morning.

thank you so much!! i did that and added zumba - exer son to the mfp. it is the name of the studio i go to so that i can find it easily!

i am averaging about 1-1.5 pounds a week. i am currently doing the couch to 5k and also some other cardio. i wish the weight loss was faster, but i do notice a difference in my clothing.

hello! i would like to have more "sleeve" friends on MFP! look me up!

also, i just did a Zumba class and went to log it on the MFP and it doesn't come up! wierd!

hello! add me too, fanofdmb

i think it is a great tool. i have discovered how much i put into my mouth truly costs me!

Lortab may taste nasty, but not as nasty as the dye they make you drink for the leak test. The good thing about Lortab is that when you have stomach pain post surgery, it goes straight to the source of the pain and you are feeling good again almost instantly. If you have to, down the Lortab, then wash it down with something more palatable. Good luck......

I AGREE! that stuff for the contrast for the upper GI was the most disgusting thing i have ever had the displeasure to drink!!!

when i took the pain meds, i usually washed it down with some diet snapple or crystal light! i too have over half of a bottle left. it is so nasty tasting i would rather deal with the pain than drink it!

today we had a BBQ to Celebrate my son's bday. we usually put on a big spread and this year was not exception. i ate little bit of this and that. my dad cooks a mean tri-tip, which has always been my favorite. i took a tiny bite and found that it was only ok, so i took another bite, chewed it up and had to spit it out. it made me fill sick!! i stayed away from the cake while we passed it out. when i cleaned the kitchen, i had a very small bite of the corner of the cake. now i am sick and can't get the sweet taste out of my mouth! it is such a change, my taste buds are not agreeing with the foods that i liked before. i know that i am not eating as much and that i am more than likely not eating enough calories, but i still have that mindset that if i eat more, i will not lose weight. since i have been on a plateau for just over two weeks (26# in just over 6 weeks), i guess that mindset is not correct. i have made the resolution in my mind to increase my caloric intake and to definately increase my Protein. i also must continue with my exercise. this past week was rough and i didnt get in what i should have.

anyway... now that i am done rambling i would like to wish everyone a happy memorial weekend! BE SAFE!!!

awesome kim!! you look fabulous!

it may sound gross to some, but i scramble my eggs and i throw in some tuna and mix it up. lots of Protein there. i season it with a little mccormicks grill seasoning and about a teaspoon of light mayo. i have been trying to come up with different egg recipies.

that is a good idea about the fruit punch and the vanilla Protein. i too have hit a stall and am very frustrated. i have been walking since i was about 2 weeks out of surgery. i wonder if it is because of muscle gain also that the scale is not moving. GAH!! so irritating!

i was sleeved on April 10 (which is also my birthday). I have stallled at a 23# loss. i wonder if it is because I have been eating and not just dong pureed. I have not eaten things that my dr hasn't ok'd until tonight. and i overindulged which then led to some heavy duty vomiting. does anyone have any advice on how to get out of this stall and what do you do when you have that darned head hunger?

phenomenal!! you look fabulous!
