I went to my first Zumba class tonight...what a blast! I totally felt like I had two left feet but cant wait for the next class! Hopefully this will kick the weight loss into high gear!

I love Zumba. Did a 45 minute class tonight. I probably look like a total tool doing it, but it is so much fun!!! Once I started doing the Zumba it broke the stall I was in and I have continued to lose consistenly now. It really helps!!

I know, it was a hour long class and I am sure I looked bad too but so did 3/4 of the class! I guess as long as we are doing it right? I cant wait to start losing again and I hope this works for me too! Thanks for the reply.

I've been debating a gym membership and good classes are a must. Zumba can be very fun. I have the CDs and I particularly like the toning routine with the weights, but motivating to do them at home just isn't happening. Good for you to get out to class!

I am actually about to buy the wii game and the DVD set when I get home for my wife and I. Shes been after this for awhile now and I looked into it and I love the concept behind it. No local classes nearby for us so this is the next best step

How long after getting sleeve where you able to start doing zumba classes? I've been debating whether or not I want to join a class after getting sleeved, but curious about the healing time after surgery before letting your body move like that.

I am jealous. I suck at zumba! I tried a couple of times but I guess I am too uncoordinated. I went left when the others went right, forward when they went back etc. So embarrassing. I hit the wall, crashed into others and generally looked like an idiot! Too embarrassed to go back.

Sweeettttt so it sounds like you are hooked. Zumba is one of my fav ways to burn calories and tone up and i've learned how to salsa, flamingo and merengue like a latin girl. I didn't know how to spell those latin dances bofore, now I do them like a pro.

I have a total crush on Zumba! Before my sleeve I could only do Water classes- and then in November, six months out, I ventured to try Zumba. I loved it! I have to be careful as I have nerve damage in my back and knees. I don't jump, for example. I now do TWELVE classes a week!

I did a Zumba class for the first time last week too. And, I also felt like two left feet, but managed to hang in there. It sure does kick up the calorie burn for sure! I can't see how anyone would stay in a stall if they do Zumba classes. Unfortunately I can't go all the time due to home stuff, but I am going to go every chance I get.

Can you say...Transfer Addiction lol! I do 12 Zumba, a stepping class, two Water aerobics classes, and a Water pilates class a week. AND I walk three miles a day...

Part of it is being disabled with nerve pain in my back and knees and seeking ways to work out. I have also been looking for work for a while and a friend said "If you can't find work then work at something to feel productive" and I chose working out ...big time!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
