    I am OBSESSSSED with Zumba, but I can't go every day, I hate doing work outs at home, but I go to zumba 4 days a week, does that count? I'd love to be a part of this!

    Hm, can I join in? I do Zumba 5-6 times a week and have lost 2 pant sizes since July.
    So here are my stats I think this started 10-12-11

    weight: 200
    Chest- 37
    Right Bicep-
    Left Bicep-
    Waist- 35
    Belly Button- 40
    Hips- 42.5
    Right Thigh-
    Left Thigh-
    Neck-

    Right now my workout routine is as follows
    MWF: 20 min Zumba high intensity with added hand weights. Then more upper are and ab exercises
    TThS: 35-40 min Zumba high intensity with added hand weights.

    Here's a tip... I've been doing the Zumba DVDs for a while, when I started to get bored I added hand weights to some songs, eventually I'll increase the weight and use hand weights for the whole video. I also change some of the dance moves to make them more intense.

    Challenge start measurements (we'll do this again in two weeks and at the end)
    Weight: 255
    Neck: 13
    Waist: 46.5

    Chest: 42.5
    Right Arm: 15
    Left Arm : 15
    Right Thigh: 29

    Goals for the 30 days: My goal for the next 30 days is to go down one pant size. It's not a huge goal but I want it to be something I can attain so I'm not disappointed at the end of the month. I will try to do Zumba everyday but not sure it's possible with my hectic schedule. Here's hoping!
