From 315lbs to Zumba Instructor - Follow up!

Hi everyone! Sorry, just seeing these comments now, for some reason I never got a notification from MFP that people were talking to me ;-)
Thanks so much for the kind words. That was posted about 18 months ago now.
I have kept all the weight off, I am still not where I want to be but working on it. Mostly I have spent the last year and a half building my Zumba classes. I am now very happy to teach 6 classes a week and things are going great. I teach regular Zumba and also Zumba Gold (low impact/lower intensity). I also became certified through AFAA as a group ex instructor and am now looking into teaching another kind of class in addition to Zumba.
I am obviously loving it, and I encourage everybody to try Zumba or any other class that looks interesting to you. Try it! Worst case: you will have lost an hour of your life doing something different. Best case: you will find a passion.
Dont hesitate to friend me!! :-)

Your story is so inspiring, Ive started my weightloss journey on MFP, ive got to lose around 170lbs.Excuse me for asking but did you suffer with alot of loose skin after your weightloss?.

Yes I do have some lose skin but I think that since I lifted weights too at the same time (and still do), that has helped. Also I still have weight to lose. ;-)
I am at peace with it now, I dont worry about it and see it as the sign of my journey and that's ok, especially on the arms, which is what people see mostly.
For the rest I wear Spanks a lot. hehe ;-)

Dont worry about it either, do your thing, take it one day at a time, one pound at a time. Friend me if you would like!
