in Success Stories
Hi ya'll! Well I never thought I would post on the success board. My journey has had a rough start. I began at 294.8, sedentary, and a food addict. I began my journey on WW and after four months of it not working for me I decided to look for another avenue. I stumbled on MFP and began Zumba it is all history now. I now have realized that my body has a very specific formula that solves the weight loss equation. Calories in and calories out. Eat to live and don't live to eat. Move everyday...even if your tired...chances are you will thank yourself. Here is my success so far. This is my first time posting pics please let me know if you can't see. Again 30 pounds is a great success....but this is just the beginning. I hope in another few months I can post about my 60lbs down :0)

    Ladies thanks for the overwhelming support. Zumba is my cardio of choice and I only use the gym as an alternative when I can't make it to my classes. It is a whole body work out for sure. And when you think of Zumba there is many different types...Basic, Gold, Aqua, Sentao (my new favorite) All you have to do is just keep moving and the calories will burn. Biggest motivator is wearing my HRM to class and seeing my composite calorie burn for the week. I have something to compare and challenge.

    You go girl!! I love Zumba, I used to go 4 days a week now I may only go 2 days a month. Hearing your post makes me want to get back in my classes, but I'm working 12 hour shifts and they happen to fall on the days of 2 of my favorite classes. My sister and myself have different instructors we love at different locations, but I'm pretty sure we can find more!!! Keep up the good work and GO ZUMBA!!!
