One Year & 68 pounds GONE!

nmb0717 · November 2012

Last Halloween I decided I'd had enough of the laziness and quit hoping that the weight would just fall off on its own (let's be honest, that's never worked!). I started eating better and started hitting Zumba a few times a week and... gasp!... a year later I'm down almost 70 pounds! I feel a bajillion times better about myself and have seen such a change in not only my jeans size but my attitude. I'm looking forward to dropping some more lbs and working on getting toned. Maybe this summer I can totally *rock* a bikini!!!!

The first few pics were taken shortly before I began this whole lifestyle movement (I've never posted pics before so I hope this works):

These pics were taken last week at a wedding:

Here's to a future of health and happiness!!!!!

Beautiful ! How did youn don it?

Just making good decisions when it came to what I was eating and drinking! I still eat ice cream, have drinks with friends and go out to dinner... and there's nothing wrong with doing that once in awhile! It just comes down to being conscious of what you're eating. I also found an amazing Zumba instructor (high intensity!) and I get to harbor my inner dancer and have a great time while burning 600-800 calories per 1 hour class. I also bought a Polar HRM which was been SO HELPFUL in knowing what I'm burning so I don't overeat.
