Recommended Posts

I did hip hop Zumba a couple of years ago 3 days a week for an hour and inches FLEW off. I'd love to do it again, but money is an issue lately :(

I did it for the first time last night and it was awesome! The hour flew by and I felt great afterward! I am going to go every Thursday from now on and I hope that I can go to more classes and that I will tone up and lose inches!

I go 6-9 times a week! You could say im addicted lol. I was featured on the news last year for it :) next month I am being featured in a newsletter for one of the studios I attend. Its the easiest hour of exercise I do. However I must stress that once I added weight training my body transformation was incredible. Cardio will only get you so far and I wish I had added the weight training earlier in my weight loss journey.

I'm going to try the wii zumba. Is it hard on joints? Most of my joints have a problem. I've been told that I should be doing Water exercises but can't afford gym fees so must do what I can at home. I need suggestions...I have knee, shoulder, wrist and hip problems. My knees give out and I fall so have to consider not doing squats. Even three of them and I'm on the floor. I'm a mess. But still trying to get ideas so I can work up a good workout. I need to get rid of alot of upper body weight tone up etc. Suggestions please. Thx

I tried zumba great excercise..burning lots of calories sweating and lots of fun..except I have really bad knees. Tried it for 3 weeks ....killer on your knees/joints. Biking and swimming are about all I can do.

I love zumba and have been going once a week, but this last week it hurt my knee. I am going to have to take it easier on the jumps and squats we do. I wish I could go to zumba 7 days a week because I would go! Does anybody do the DVDs at home? If so is it a good workout? I want to sweat like I do in the gym!

I love Zumba!!! I go three times/week and its the greatest workout and so much fun. Today it was like Hot Zumba...the room must have been 90 degrees. Ugh.

So what are your favorite zumba songs? Does your instructor go with mostly latin music or popular tunes? I love pretty much anything Pitbull does to zumba to...

Yeah...I'm at the point where its time to add in the weight training. Starting in January I'm going to add 2 days of crossfit into my workout....that will give me the strength training I need. I'm excited to see the results!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
