    Wow you have done amazing - I too love Zumba and just come back from 1hr class at my gym in my lunchtime. I was wondering if losing the 1/2hr flexi was worth it but after looking at your pics it doesn't matter if I take my full 2 hr lunch if I can fit a class in.

    Once again well done to you xx

    Girl! You were already beautiful, and now you're even more so, and healthy to boot! Awesome job! How often do you Zumba? I have been doing Zumba twice/wk for about 7 months and I LOVE IT! I burn about 600-700 but my instuctor isn't as upbeat as some I've seen online. I saw a pic once that said "If you can't wring the sweat out of your underwear when you're done, you didn't shake it hard enough" That's what I try to remember every time I go to class. I push as hard as I can. I have absolutely NO RHYTHM, but I have learned the moves, and I've learned to lighten up and have fun. At first, I was self-concious, but then I realized everyone else in there probably feels the same way and they're focusing on getting the moves, not what I'm doing. For those who haven't tried it: You get so much more out of doing it in a group compared to doing it at home. It's just more fun that way! I'm addicted! I always look forward to class.


    MellyGibson and Reneefit135 please add me. I decided last wk that I want to become a Zumba instructor too!

    You look incredible, well done! I'd be way too self conscious to do zumba, I'm so uncoordinated! Going for running instead, and swimming eventually

    Great job!!! I really think any fitness program can work as long as you move your body and eat right. Way to go!

    I agree with this SO HARD. Quite a few of my friends are a bit snotty about zumba - saying it's not high impact enough, some salsa-y rubbish.

    I suggest they come and have a word! You look absolutely fantastic. I've lost over 80lb, largely through zumba, and had a shedload of fun along the way.

    Well done you :)

    Amazing work! I love Zumba and go once a week. It's a great workout. Super high impact ( I burn about 1000 cals each class). Good job, so proud of you.

    I do Zumba at home 3-5 days a week and can tell a difference in many ways. My stamina is increasing, my clothes are fitting differently, etc. I have not really shed pounds yet and I try not to get discouraged because I know I am building muscle which weighs more than fat. I am just soooooo tired of being overweight and need a little good sense sent my way. I am not very patient with myself. I often wonder looking at the zumba instructors on the dvd's if they look that way just by doing zumba or if they have to do a whole lot of other fitness training. While I know every person is different I was wondering how long it took you to achieve your awesome transformation? You look amazing! How often do you work out? Do you do other things to help you achieve your goals besides zumba? I am in some serious need of motivation!! Help!!

    Wow, I am impressed. I am never sure how many calories that I burn because I can not find a watch that is easy to use that tells me how many calories that I burn. I do workout but feel defeated when the weight does not drop off quickly. I noticed that you joined in Jan. of 2011. How long did it take you to lose 140 pounds?

    I could seriously be in tears right now. Thank you so much for posting your before and after pics. You are an inspiration!
    I tried Zumba at home and quit because it was "too hard". I will give it another shot. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
