Here I go again
 

Hi all,

I'm new here and started my weight loss program today. I've been down this road before. In 2008, I lost 100 lbs. I swore I would never gain the weight again, I had worked too hard to go back. Then, in nov. 2011, I shattered the bones in my right leg. It took 1.5 years, 2 surgeries, some complications and ample physical therapy, but I'm walking again (yay!). Problem is, I gained 70 pounds in the process.

I was so excited when my surgeon gave me the okay to resume my addiction. After 15 minutes in class, I had to leave because I felt I was going to pass out. Going from being a self professed zumba queen to now this, was extremely disheartening and embarrassing.

I have a lot of work ahead of me, but if I did it once, I can do it again.

nice to meet you all!:)

:welcome: dolphin! I'm so glad that your leg is all better now!

I love zumba!!!! I'm not brave enough to wiggle my body in public so I use some dvd's at home--but it is so much fun, and Tania Beardsley is an excellent zumba instructor.

You'll get back in to the swing of things no worries!

Thank you, Kaitie! I might try the DVDs too!

Hi Dolphin! :welcome2: I'm so proud of you for getting back on track! It's certainly understandable why you gained the weight back but I know it's frustrating. Good for you in taking the steps to lose it again! You'll find lots of support here and I know you will be an inspiration to others for your determination and courage. Good luck!

Thanks Jacqui! I'm very excited to have found this place :)

Welcome Dolphin. I'm a Zumba junkie, but due to my super busy schedule I haven't been able to get to the gym for a month. *sigh* I must get back. I look forward to reading about your progress.

Thank you, Ladybug2680! Get that little bug butt back to zumba pronto! :)

One step at a time. I wish I could do Zumba. Dangit!

You can always start with the DVDs, it's less intimidating :)
