Zumba anyone?



Recommended Posts

I went to the local Y and joined a zumba class, am wondering if anyone has bought the zumba dvd's they advertise on tv? If so, how do you like them?

I have the Zumba for Wii. It moves a bit fast for this old lady, but I will keep trying. Oh and it takes all I got!

I have the whole DVD set and it's good if you have the room and "time" to do it at home! My DH is home all day and I'm not all about doing that in the living room while he laughs! LOL

I LOVED going to the actual zumba classes though, esp. when you go with a friend!!

I was going to join a Zumba class this month but decided to get under 200 before I try it out. I have never been one to exercise so I thought I would lose a few more pounds first. I can't wait to try it out. Everyone talks about how fun it is!

Went to a Zumba class with a friend when I was home, it was so great! It's really just an updated Jazzercise, cooler music & moves but same concept.

I am a Zumba fanatic, did it before I got fat while I was fat and still doing it now 3 kids later, the difference is I am doing it on the Xbox more than attending the classes, Zumba will make you sweat and before you know it an hour went by!

I just bought the DVD set and it will be here next week. I am really looking forward to trying it out. I will have the house to myself most nights as DH works at the office late. And if he is home, he is upstairs on the phone with a business partner.

I figured if I can get the moves down at home, then I can join a class later. I don't like trying to learn in a formal class and being so over my head. This way works best for me.

So doing Zumba in conjunction with my Belly Dancing class I should be well on my way to getting back into the exercise mindset.

I am pre-op and started at 315 but now at 280. Trust me, you can do it. Its the reason I've lost weight like this, in three months. Can't imagine what it would be with having the sleeve, it'd pour off! Go 4 it!

I started doing Zumba at the local rec center at about 8 weeks out... love it!!! DH bought me Zumba for my wii for Christmas and it is great for a workout at home. You can choose between 3 different workout levels and between 20 and 45 minute workouts. and individual songs too..This gives me an opportunity to grab a quick workout even on the busiest of days.

I highly recommend it!

I tried Zumba once. I realize why I only dance when I drink. I haven't given up on it yet though. I start classes 3 days a week in feb. It burns a ton of calories so I think looking like a fool is worth it. I think starting a class from the beginning would be a lot easier then doing the drop in classes where everyone already knows the moves. If you go to Zumba.com there are a ton of success stories with weight loss.

      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. 💜
