Hey there girls (and guys if you like!) I am so glad that our Zumba crew has been so successful so far. Let's keep it up!

This is the new thread for February, so why don't we try some fun 'break the ice' questions to get to know one another?

introduce (or reintroduce) yourself for any new comers, then tell me your least favorite food. There are so many foods out there to love, what are the ones you can't stand?!

I am Emily, 28, twin mom and I can't stand olives or beets in any form!

    I'm Deanna - I'm new to this topic, but I just started Zumba a few weeks ago, and love it!

    I hate brussel sprouts and olives. Don't really care for fish, either.

    I'm LeeAnn, 37, with three kids. Just started zumba for the wii because I can't work the zumba class into my schedule with the kids. I really like it so I'm sure the classes are awesome.

    Least favorite food: tuna because I can't get over the cat food smell. Ick.

    I'm Christine, 57 yo, and been doing Zumba since October 2010. I love it! I need the motivation that comes from the class, so I go twice a week to a local gym for it. Some days, my energy is really high, some days I "make it through" the class.

    I don't like onions, but there really isn't anything I won't try!

    loving all these responses! I absolutely LOVE onions. I eat them every day.

    Dawn, you are more than welcome here. The only requirement is that you have a 'thing' for Zumba!

    I'm Lexy 44, mother of 2... I am a foodie and love most anything but you couldn't get me to eat oysters or okra for anything raw, cooked or otherwise prepared.

    My name is Cynthia and I'm a Zumbaholic. Is anyone else certified? I'm toying with the idea....

    You should do it! It is awesome to be an instructor, and once you have a class you are even MORE obligated to never miss a class. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

    Hey Renee, are you doing Zumba in the Circuit or are you doing an actual aerobics class held at a Curves? If you guys haven't already heard about it, Zumba has just introduced "Zumba in the Circuit" at Curves which combines the awesome interval toning stuff that Curves has to offer with the moves of Zumba cardio in between.

    My name is Chandra and I am a Zumbaholic. I go to class at least 3-4 times a week. And go to Zumba parties at least 2 times a month. I have Zumba for the X-Box connect and I prefer to go to the classes. I burn double the calories at the gym. I am looking into getting certified to be an instructor but have to wait until they come back to Colorado again or travel to another state. I do not like Brussel Sprouts.

    Hello, I am Valerie, 36 with 3 kids. I started Zumba about 2 weeks ago on the Wii. I love it! Very fun!! I've not been to a class, just the Wii game. Is it similar to a class?

    Hi! My name is Allison and I just took my second zumba class this evening - I have no rhythm but it's such a great, fun workout! I've gotten my roommate and several gym buddies to hit it with me, and one of my friends is the instructor, which makes it even better.

    I really hate olives and mushrooms.

    Hi I'm Patti! Fairly new mother. Started Zumba in August 6 weeks after C-section- regretably took Thanksgiving to New Yars off. I'm back to as many classes I can fit into my schedule each week. I'm down 22 pounds total since I started- 9 since I joined MFP. I find myself randomly Zumba-ing all of the time.
