They told me I couldn't. That's why I did it.
I lost 100 pounds. It did not take me 1 year, it took 6 months to loose all the weight. I lost so much weight due to the fact that I was tired of being bullied, tired of letting my weight stop me from doing things I love to do. So I stopped feeling sorry for myself and I did something about it. It took me lots of hard work and dedication. I lost weight by doing Zumba Fitness a Latin Dance workout, and I also watch what I would eat. I would portion and count my calories. I can proudly say that all my hard work and dedication finally payed off. This is a picture of me from my Jr. Year in high school, to my Senior year. If you wanna loose weight try Zumba, it's really fun, you don't have to be coordinated all that matter is that you move and give it your all, you don't have to be good at dancing and don't be afraid to look silly because nobody is there to judge you, just let go and let loose and have fun!

    This is truly awesome. I love your no nonsense attitude! 6 months? Wow! If you dont mind me asking, what was/is your stats? Heights, starting weight, calories deficit, etc. 100lbs in six months doing only zumba is amazing. You will make a super motivating instructor. Good luck and congrats on your loss!

    No of course I don't mind.
    I am 5'6, I use to weigh 280 pounds and now I weigh 180. I went from a size 24 to a size 10. I don't really know what my calorie deficit is, but to keep the weight off all I do is portion what I eat and watch what I eat and workout to Zumbaaa! . No fast food or soda for me.
    And thank you so much!(:

    I don't know who told you that but I hope they're around you enough to know now that you can do anything! Great job!

    So awesome! Well done!
  • I am totally inspired, I want to lose 60 pounds and I am tired of never following through. I am borderline diabetic and 35. I do not want to get diabetes, I want to live a long healthy life with my 3 boys! This makes me feel like I CAN do it. Anymore tips would be awesome
