On Novermber 14th 2008 I gave birth to my third child. I was thrilled to have my bundle of joy but I wasn't thrilled to what he'd done to my body. I gained at least 20 pounds with each of my children and before I knew it I was 210 pounds. I was always tired and I felt depressed with the way I looked. I was always loved to workout. But I became very tired and frustrated from all the stress with taking care of my kids and keeping house. Last year in September I decided that I needed to do something about my weight. A friend of mine invited me to a zumba class and I loved it. Since then I've been going to Zumba for the past 5 months. I started to eat right and cut out sodas and I drank mostly water. The pounds started to melt and I had more energy. I feel great! And when you feel great, you look great! I am now getting ready to get certifed as a Hot Hula instructor. Working out and eating right has a become a lifestyle change for me. I'm never gonna go back to 210 pounds ever again!

This is me at 210 pounds
