Hey, I thought I'd start a thread so everyone could share what they're doing to lose weight. I started doing Zumba a few months ago and love it! I haven't had time to do it recently, but started back up last week and forgot how much I love doing it. I'm trying to do it 3 times a week (either at the gym or at home).

I need to get back into logging all my food on here. That's my goal for tomorrow!

I want to try Zumba so bad but I am super shy and scared to! I have been doing different treadmill workout (some walk/run and some incline) and 30 Day Shred.

I felt so stupid doing it the first few times, but seriously, I love it. It's HARD, but I love it. It's nice to have a really hard workout that I actually look forward to doing! I say just go for it! The first few times is harder because you don't know the songs yet so you're a step behind 1/2 the time, but the more you go, the better it gets. Now a couple of the girls that go to the class meet once or twice a week when the instructor isn't there and we just do it ourself. (so obviously we've learned the "routines" pretty well!)

I'm the same way! I plan on starting to record the zumba show that comes on TV out here to learn the moves before I try to go to a class

the class that I go to is mostly hip hop with a little latin/salsa type stuff mixed in so she can call it "zumba", I think each instructor has their own way of teaching. Seriously girls, I love it! I'm not a dancer or anything, I look totally stupid when I'm doing it, but everyone else (except the instructor) does too!

I'm also planning on starting an app that I've downloaded to my Iphone Couch to 5k!

I did the couch to 5K, it works! I ran 2 5Ks that year and it really kept me going knowing I just had to do a little bit at a time. I started that when I first started with MFP last year. I lost a bunch of weight (and now have gained it all back ). I've actually thought about doing C25K again just because it worked so well the 1st time!
