Red face 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

zumba
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!

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!

Hi Dolphin! 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!

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.
