    Wow! You look amazing! I recently found Zumba about a year ago and I LOVE it! I would go everyday if I could. My favorite Zumba instructor has a similar story as yours. I love the part of your story about your mentor and trainer. Good for you!

    Wow! Thank you for the incredible response to this post! I am so so glad that my story can help somebody.
    Reading your comments have given me chills. And last night as I was dancing in Zumba class and my legs were getting tired, I remembered all of your comments and it gave me an extra ounce of energy to go all out. Thank you!!!

    Today for me is weight lifting/strength training with my trainer and my small team of friends.

    How are YOU burning calories today?

    So inspiring! We had a woman in our church who ran a fitness class. She is the proverbial tiny thing, and perky.all.the.time. Although I am not dreadfully overweight, when I stood next to her I'd feel like I was absolutely huge. I decided to join her class as our church was hosting a run, and she was leading the training for that. At the beginning of the class she ran a slideshow, and her first photo was of a woman who weighed well over 300lbs and looked miserable. "That was me 3 years ago," she said. I was gobsmacked. Never in a million years would I have thought that the perky, full of energy, must be born like that woman, was the miserable morbidly obese woman on the screen. I know it encouraged me and others in the room who were less than fit.

    So, well done you!
