You are an inspiration to me and I have to say THANK YOU, I also fought my weight my whole life and yes tried everything also. I too realized the only "quick fix" was not quick at all, long hard work and determination and never giving up. I recently (6 months or more) have been just "getting along" and not being committed…

I am 56 and 5'4" it has taken me 3+ years (April 2010 when I started this journey) to shed 120 lbs-thinking it will be another 6 months for the last 30-40 to go, one day, choice and meal at a time

Add me-we already have Zumba in common

Add me, 56 years "young" have lost 120 lbs so far looking to lose the other 30-40 before I hit 57 in March. Mother of 5-grandmother of 7-work full time as hsk director in vacation rental business.

5'4' 308-328

This-keep at it-you will be amazed at the results and really how much fun it can be. I was imtiminated at first also but now cannot go without it and love it so much I am getting certified to teach it next month.

Hey girl, I'm still with you-you can do this by December-keep going forward as will I:heart:

I am on year 3 myself but no pics yet-Congrats

Beimg able to go outside in the morning and when time to come home home would stand on the porch and whistle us in. Chatty Cathy Barbie clothes made by my aunt's loving hands Saturday morning cartoons The Beatles on Ed Sullivan JFK assassination Moon walk Elvis on Ed Sullivan Saturday night boxing fights (sit down and be…

Traveled from Fort Dodge to Waterloo today with a short stop in Webster City, Iowa, (my grandmother's maiden name was Webster and yes the dictionary Webster :laugh: ) Probably leaving Iowa tomorrow

Yea what great weather for spending day at the beach :flowerforyou: Have fun and take a dip for me

Great dinner and games with friends Thursday, up at 5am Friday and traveled another 118 from Sioux City to Fort Dodge this morning

Agreed teacher's are our childrens role models and their protectors for 7-8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 9 months out of the year. Children have enough crap to deal with-w/o having to be name called by a teacher.

Wed May 29 another 100 miles, left Omaha and got into the state of Iowa took a little detour up to Sioux City to see the sites-resting here on Thursday-meeting friends for dinner

Haven't been logging for a few days but traveled Friday 107 miles Brighton Colorado to Sterling Colorado Saturday 88 miles Sterling Colorado to Ogallala Neb Sunday 87 miles Ogallala to Gothenburg Monday 110 miles Gothenburg to Grand Island It seems it is taking forever to get through the great state of Neb

I danced 100 miles and ended up in Brighton Colorado (where my son and his family live :smile:

Haven't traveled yet-will tonight and go 100 miles-should put me a little ways past Denver

Yipee my home town is Boulder CO that is an awesome place to visit (also to live and be from)

I just calculated my miles from the mountains of Colorado to Dublin, Ireland. The total is 4,484.26 miles. = 44.84 hours @ 4 hours a week this journey is going to take me a little over 11 weeks to get there. This new group is going to rock it.

My dream destination is Ireland-something in those green hills calls to my inner "Celtic Goddess". I will google how far it is and for every 15 minutes working out I will count it as 25 miles. Packing my clothes for the start of the journey tomorrow :laugh:

This is the first step don't stop I started at over 300 lbs and am 5'4" "this is a lifestyle change not a damn diet (my words to myself) I am a grandmother of 7 and want to be able to dance at each one of their weddings. I didn't want to die in my sleep and wonder how the hell they would get me out of the bed. I know we…

Too many to count but big ones Chips (all kinds) Ice cream (all kinds) Fresh baked cookies (all kinds) Cheese (all kinds) Hmmm I think I see a pattern here :laugh:

Clever add me I don't bike but I do walk and Zumba

Yep sick of this snow and I need a Milky Way Dark just sayin

Seen beachbody and insanity do this in 30 days for others-Congrats to both of you

I agree sometimes I just use the calisthenics tab-if I worked my @$$ off then the higher one, if not then the moderate tab it may not be completely accurate but I think it is close enough (for me anyway)

And I can shop in the regular part of the store not the plus size

Let's see I sleep better (don't wake up thinking about if I died how the hell would they get me out of our house (true story) I have much more energy I can look at a bag of chips and say NO THANK YOU and mean it I can dance for an hour or longer without getting winded I dont worry that I won't fit in the airplane seat,…

Hot girl-hot:drinker:
