Default It's a new day, starting a new me

I'm Tere, and I found 3FC this weekend. This looked like a great place to be while trying to take off about 70 pounds (though I'll be ecstatic at 35!).

I found the forum when researching Zumba and its claims. My teenage daughters have tried it out and loved it, but we live in a very rural area without access to someplace that offers Zumba classes.

Additionally, I began a gluten-free lifestyle in July following identifying a lot of things that link up to gluten-intolerance. I tried eliminating wheat products as a trial for a few weeks and saw significant improvement.

So, I thought if I could stick to the changes I've made to become GF, I could stick to a few more changes and get this weight off. Oh, I'm semi-recently divorced (last year) and will be 45 this month.

Welcome. I know that when I got divorced, I counted leaving him as losing 250 pounds. HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA

I would think (though I've never looked) that there are Zumba DVDs. (???)

I tell people I lost 150 when I was pregnant the first time (we got divorced during).

Anyway there ARE Zumba DVDs and also games for I think Wii or XBox or both. My girlfriend LOVES it on the gaming system (I really think it's XBox she does but she's in Ireland on vacation now so I can't ask) versus the videos. Some of the home shopping channels (one or both) also sell it and maybe other places like Collage Video? Anyway welcome to the forums!

I really think you'll find tons of support here...although sometimes we lose tons too

How is the gluten free diet working? I have heard a lot about the benefits, but never tried it. It seems like it would be nearly impossible since pasta and bread are staples....(although not the best ones
