    That is great! How did you keep the motivation to keep going? I started at 190, got down to 165 and lost steam. I have gained 8 back and I want that energy back!

    You're a champion.... no, you're a warrior.

    keep going! i want to stop all the time.. lucky for me i have a really fantastic bunch of ladies that i work out with at zumba.. they are always up for something new. the last few weeks have been hard for me to stick with a diet.. i hope that as soon as the kids go back to school, and i go back to work that i can get back in the losing weight game again. i still have another 15+ to go. zumba toning starts wednesday.. so no rest! good luck!!!:smile:
