Howdy everyone!!

Ok, so I just wrote a super long introduction and it somehow did not go through. I will try this again but will keep it short. lol

I started trying to lose weight about 2 years ago when my younger brother passed away. I kept it up for almost a year but was not loosing as much weight as I hoped. I feel off the wagon but go back on at the end of December. I was happy that I only gained back about 8 of the pounds I lost and decided to put my all in it.

I keep track of my calories, try to exercise everyday (just started Zumba about a month ago) and drink a lot of water instead of sugary drinks.

I started at 248 lbs, I was down to 206 in August of last year. As of December I was back up to 213. As of today I am at 192.8. I have gone from a size 24 pant to a size 16 that even feel loose. A friend gave me some size 12s that I though I would have to hold on to and they fit. A little snug but they fit. My hope is to be between 150-160 since I have a medium build and I am 5' 7". As of today I have lost about 53 lbs total!! :carrot::carrot:

Hi Corrine. I'm new too & thought I'd say hi. We're the same height & have the same goal weight.:D I love Zumba, but haven't done it much since I regained weight. 53 pounds is awesome!

I am 5' 7 too. I let my weight go up about 18 pounds before my doctor poured a cold bucket of water over my head. I have lost all that over the past two years and have about 6 pounds to go to get where I want to be @ 140 lbs.

I rejoined my Jazzercise class 2.5 years ago, and that's really how I lost it. Jazzercise incorporates weights, bands, balls and floor exercise in the last 20 minutes of class, which builds muscle which burns fat. I haven't felt this good in years.

Good luck to you and welcome.

WOW!!! 53 pounds is awesome! Keep up the good work!

Way to go on your 53 Lbs lost so far!! :cheer: Good luck with your continue efforts!
