I'm going to edit this later to give a better picture of my full story, but wanted to post the pictures here for now. Long story short, I'm almost to my fitness goal and have lost 57 (**Edit: Now 60!) pounds by changing my lifestyle and taking up fire dancing I feel so good.

Clueless here: what is tech poi?

And, who on earth can teach you do that????? I'm sooo impressed and I'm not a young person into cool-stuff, but I'm almost 50.

You look awesome Congratulations

I'll post a video of me spinning as soon as I make one Tech poi is basically swinging around balls on strings (on fire) to make cool patterns. And you can teach yourself anything with the internet but I also found several burn clubs in my area through Facebook group pages (Tech Poi) and learned from people who have been doing it for awhile. It's definitely great exercise!
