    I forgot to mention that I use www.zumbacalories.com to figure out how many calories I burn. I usually go with mid-intensity. Sometimes I push harder on ones I can do better but over all I just go with mid-intensity.

    I have finally gotten back to what I was before the 4th weekend so my ticker still hasn't moved yet since I'm where I set it at. But I have lost 2lbs this week.

    I went over my calorie target today but it was pizza and movie night with the kids. I did workout though so hopefully it won't show too bad on the scale tomorrow. It's my one day off. Back to work tomorrow.

    I'm a few days late but I'd like to join if that's ok :) I have my July 1st weight so I'll use that as my starting weight on my ticker. I'll post my "why I want to get in shape" to introduce myself. Sorry, it's kind of long. I'm setting my "lean by Halloween" goal at 30 lbs! Hope I can make it :)

    Why I Want To Get In Shape
    I want to feel good in my own body and wear the things I want to wear. I want to go to the pool or the beach and have fun, not constantly worry about who sees me in my bathing suit. I want to look good in jeans, wear high heels without killing my feet and wear pretty dresses!!

    I have PCOS and struggled with infertility for 2 years before getting pregnant with my twins. We had to go through tests and lots and lots of medication to overcome infertility. My husband gave me injections in my tummy everyday, for about two weeks for 8 months straight. We would like to have another baby, in about 2 years, without going through fertility treatments. Meeting my goal weight could be the ticket for doing so. Losing weight can lessen the symptoms of PCOS. I hope it does that for me.

    I want to be able to run around with my babies (when they get mobile) without getting out of breath. I want to ride roller coasters with them and not worry about fitting into the seats. I want my husband to be able to pick me up. I want to sit on his lap without worrying about his legs going numb! I want to weigh less than him!

    I hope I can be an inspiration to someone looking to lose weight.

    Definitely go for the Zumba. It's awesome. You work up the best sweat and burn the most calories. Also I like that you can do different styles of dance. Some take a bit longer to get good at but after you've done it while it will feel more natural. I feel like I get better everyday.

    I'm joining too. I want a challenge to break through my plateau. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Plus, if I lose 25 pounds by then, I will have lost 50 pounds thus far.

    Hi (: Just found this

    About me: I want to be able to live a long healthy life. Diabetes runs in my family and a lot of my father's sisters have it so I am trying to prevent myself from getting it as well. I also want to gain more confidence I am very shy and have low self esteem so hopefully by losing weight it'll help.

    Hi - I hope everyone is keeping on track. I have a scales malfunction so I will post results in a day or so. I am really pleased that I have managed to keep up my fitness levels this week. Hopefully I will manage the same again next week. Good luck all!

    HI I recently joined MFP and I saw this challenge and thought it would be great.
    My golas - I am starting a TurboFire rotation tomorrow (7/11/11) and I am determined to complete it!!!!
    I want to lose 10 lbs - for good (and be done with the losing - focus on maintaining!)
    I want to be proud of myself for overcoming my challenges and succeeding!
    I want to think I look good (body wise) (others say I already do, but not how I see myself)
    I want to be working on my second fitness plan, TF-CE hybrid.

    Thanks!
