Alright there! Have you ever tried - fast abs magic (should be on google have a look)? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got hot Six pack abs and lost a ton of fat with it.
Oh hello! Have you ever tried - fast abs magic (google it)? Ive heard some super things about it and my work buddy got ripped 6 pack abs and lost a lot of fat with it.
you think the wii game would do this...? im extremely self concious.. nd really looking forward to getting the zumba game and wii fit plus.. lame i know but maybe they'll work?
you look great by the way :) amazing changes :) so glad your happy
Wow you look amazing! I have just started the dvds at home as i am too embarrassed to do the classes, I used to be skinny until my first pregnancy, now I am classed as obese :( This video is inspirational, im adding it to my favourites, so when I lose heart, I can watch it again! How long in total did it take you to lose all of the weight?
GREAT JOB!! YOU LOOK GREAT!! I HAVE LOST 100 POUNDS WITH ZUMBA JUST IN THE PAST YEAR!! I AM NOW A CERTIFIED ZUMBA INSTRUCTOR!! AND YES I'M A MAN!! LOL! I LOVE ZUMBA!! MY FIRST CLASS IS COMING UP 1/7/12
Did you follow a specific diet like south beach? What have you been eating exactly, you say low-carb. But does that mean like no carbs at all or whole grain stuff ( the complex carbs that have almost no sugar) What did a day menu look like for you and how did you implement that in your life today? Is your diet the same? I am very curious!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I totally agree. Find something you like and you'll stick with it. You look amazing and I love that you gave thanks to God. I always channel God in everything I do. Sometimes, I screw up and then channel, nevertheless, he/she's my Rock. Keep Zumba-ing. I do it 6x a week and will start Zumba Exhilarate January 2012.
IT WORKS! You are living proof and you enjoy doing it. Fabulousness always.
Congrats to you My dear Lady...I am a Licensed Zumba Fitness Instructor who has also lost 90lbs and counting....thank you for posting your video. I have no doubt it will inspire many and bring pride to the many wonderful Zumba Fitness Instructors who encourage, support and love their students. Zumba Fitness works..bottomline...it is addictive and NO..you don't have to know how to dance. Try it! You'll Love it! ZUMBA!!!
amazing! started zumba once a week, just started a 2nd class and gonna try to do a third at home. I can't wait to shed all this extra fluff. It's so annoying and I'm over it! way to go!
This is wonderful! You're GORGEOUS!!! Congratulations on such an amazing transformatiion! I'm starting Zumba classes this week and this video has made me even more excited for it! And God bless you for giving praise where praise should be given...our Savior, Jesus Christ.
@NicoleBritt67TM I actually didn't do either. I went to classes at my local rec. center. I went between 3-6 times a week. I encourage you to find a class that can provide the fun party atmosphere along with the encouragement from others. If not, the exhilarate is the one I just bought and I love it. Best of luck to you. It's hard work but so worth it!
You story is inspirational. I am 6 months away from 40 and after a long battle with a thyroid disorder, I finally have the energy to want to exercise. Thanks for sharing how hard work and patience can change many things
@TheMelodyParis really? cause i'm 16 too and i bought the wii game to do in my own home and i can't wait haha, i'm not fat or anything, i just really need some muscles LOL
Thanks for having the courage to be transparent to such a large audience. Your journey and your faith inspire me, sister. Started Zumba today at home, still a little shy about being in a large group, but maybe soon?? Loved how that first video made me feel!
this video brought tears to my eyes. i've ordered zumba myself and have already changed some of my eating habits. i hope i can make a video like this in a year. God bless you.
@xxtina24 Awe thank you. I'm glad you watched it and if it helps you I feel like it was all worth posting that first pic ;) I still look at that woman and ask myself "who is that woman?" I don't even really remember her. I'm much healthier now and I won't lie it's a fight everyday to maintain the weightloss. I'm up a few lbs. right now but not going back. My clothes are my telling signs of when I need to get back to business. Be blessed. Deanna
Thank you for posting this and God bless you! I'm trying for the first time since I used to be a dancer for years - Im 50lbs overweight and I could sure use something new
You inspire me, I am 32 years old, I have a 1 1/2 year old son, and I am now ready to focus ALOT on getting healthier than I have EVER been. I ordered ZUMBA Exhilarate the DVD's I LOVE LOVE LOVE To dance, and I want to burrn this layer of hideous fat off my neck, thighs arms and of course the tummy!!!
How long each day did you work out? I'm 29 and overweight and miserable. Zero energy, I look horrible in a dress that doesn't flare out and cover my shoulders, and I don't even think about bathing suits. I can't even find one to fit my ever expanding breast size. I can't wait to loose a chunk of those!! I tried zumba from youtube tonight and I love how I feel. I also had fun! I'm going to buy the dvd's and start the special k challenge on Sunday!
@mizzizjonez Thanks for watching! I hope that it will encourage you to keep it up when your having an off day! I know I had my share. But its been so worth keeping up with. I worked out about an hour each day. I really feel like the music and dancing gets the endorphins flowing and will get your spirits up. I hope you will find a class of energetic and supportive classmates. It makes it so much fun! Best wishes.
i've recently started looking into zumba, so i started youtubing all the "zumba before and after pics" to see if it really works. of all the videos i've looked at yours made the biggest impact on me. for one, we have the same messurements. i'm almost 200 pounds right now, but at my most fit, i hang at around 134 as well. i love to see you give glory to our Savior. THAT is what makes this all worth it. you are a wonderful inspiration and im so thankful you posted this!!

you beautiful woman!!! I have a flabby post baby body and am a musician so need to be fit! I decided enough was enough! I have just started doing zumba in a class and it's doing wonders for self confidence having to shake those bits you try so hard to keep still otherwise!! I also do turbo jam at home and run/walk around a few tracks in town - 3 weeks and counting - haven't weighed in as i haven't noticed a visual change yet but after watching this I know there must be changes! Thank you!!!
@msboku Thanks for asking. My heaviest weight was 200lbs but I was 177 when I decided to make the change. In 10 months I dropped down to 130. I now hang around 134. I went to Zumba 4x's a week for 6months and then started going to zumba toning 2 more so I ended up going 6 days a week. I never counted calories just carbs.
Wow u look amazing, I have been doing Zumba for about 2 months now and have some abdominal weight I am praying to get rid of naturally. You video will inspire me!!
wow, your journey has brought tears to my eyes.. a friend who is over weight just told me about zumba and how amazing it is.I stumbled upon your video in hopes to find something I could do to help get back in shape after having my baby in a few months ( 2 more months left!). I am a yoga head but I *LOVE* to dance! Your story is so inspirational, especially to see you giving God the glory!! What a blessing of determination that has be bestowed upon you..... Thanks again for the video!
I was actually a weight loss councilor for L.A. Weight Loss Centers years back, so I know what I am doing wrong, and am able to readily fix it with some discipline and the support of God, family and friends. I am using Weight Watchers online to keep track of my food choices, too. Between those two major changes in my eating and exercise habits, I feel confident that over the next year or so, big changes are headed my way! Congratulations again on your success!!
The weight kills my energy and motivation. It adds to my depression, hurts my knees and joints, and I feel certain that if I do not get serious about changing my lifestyle, I may not be around for my children to see them grow up. Zumba looks amazing, and I love to dance, so I really think this will be the motivation I have been looking for. I am planning on purchasing the whole series, and setting up some days and times to work out with other moms at our church.
I just watched your video, and wanted you to know that just seeing your personal journey has really inspired me. I am 30, married with a 4 year old daughter and a 1 year old daughter, and have been yo-yo'ing over the years. My smallest was a 6 and my largest, now, is a 24 I believe. I am only 5'3", so 230 lbs is massive on my tiny frame.

congrats!!! you made me tear up :o) and gave me more motivation. i have gained 25 lbs which is a lot for me and worse than being fat i was feeling aches and weird things in my body which is what got me off my butt. i have been eating well (lots of raw food) and doing zumba and yoga. i LOVE doing both, and you are right, once we find what's works for us it can be addicting.....

I just started doing Zumba and this video really gave me hope. I have 2 small children so I am doing the tapes at home. I am going to try to do the tapes 5 days a week for 2 months and then post my results :)
Oh my goodness! Congrats on your transformation it really is amazing! I have the Zumba DVD set and just started I want your flat tummy! When you lost the weight with Zumba did you also lose breast size? I have worked really hard to grow naturally and not get implants and went from a 32AA to a 32D and I'm so worried about losing there. Also did you achieve your flat tummy from Zumba alone? Or did you also do other workouts?
@anastasia916 Thank you for your compliments and questions. Yes and Yes. I went down a few sizes in my chest, lol. And the only workout I did was zumba. If you really focus on your stomach and engage it for all the moves, Zumba really works on the abs. Good luck!
Wow you look amazing!! How many days did you work out in a week? I would appreciate it if you can give me some diet tip advice. Thanks! And once more you look amazing!!!!
@janethdz Thank you so much! I started out 3x's and worked up to 6. They offered Zumba toning 2x's a week and that was part of my 6 days. As far as diet, moderation and cutting out the sugars makes a huge difference. Good luck! And God bless you.
@deannaintexas Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! I will keep them with me as continue to search for the best solution to my ongoing struggle. Thank you again for your kind words of inspiration...I wish you the best! :)
I don't normally comment on videos but this was so inspiring I had to leave a message! I just went to my first Zumba class this week and I am already addicted. It is so fun and motivating, nothing compares to it. You look terrific and this video has really inspired me to loose weight. Thank you!
OMG! You look great... The transformation from 0.08 to 3.50 is amazing. You inspire me to make a change and Ive been wanting to start with Zumba. Lets see how it goes.
If I took up Zumba at home with DVD's would it help me tone up I just had a baby 4 months ago via c section (not my choice) and need to repair my tummy muscles. I used to be a size 10 pre pregnancy and now my lower body is a size 12 and even thats touch and go with clothes =(. I don't have the time with my daughter to go take lessons away from home so is it just as effective in the comfort of your own home?
@psalm41aus I've never used the videos but from what I understand they aren't any different accept you are alone. I would say if your abs are ready it would be great! (I don't know what the recovery time is for a C-section) I always tried to remember to keep my abs engaged at all times. It really helped reduce the size of my waist. I have had 3 kids and as you saw from my time line it wasn't until 6yrs after my last child that I made the changes :) Best wishes to you
@psalm41aus go for it girl! i just bought the DVD set off of the zumba fitness eBay store..so far i did the DVD showing you the basic steps for the dance moves..tomorrow..it's on like donkey Kong..good luck!
@Smileyyogini How long did you stay on the lowcarb? And what kinds of exercise did you do while on it? I actually feel much more alert and have more energy once my body crosses over into ketosis. It's the first couple of days that are the hardest. I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster with energy highs and lows when I eat too many carbs/sugar. I like the steady energy I get from the lowcarb.
@stephaniemewborn yes that's all I did. I went to Zumba classes anywhere from 4-6 times a week and stuck to a low carb diet. It not only changed my body it also helped with my emotions. Best wishes to you and thank you for your comments.
Thanks fo sharing your journey. I'm 33 years old and thinking if this could be for me too. I'm inspired let see what happen. Blessings to you and yours.
@JoaFranco Thank you and I hope that you find a love for an exercise that will keep you going back for more. I Love Zumba!!! I've been going now for 16 months and my instructors always seem to know how to keep it fun. Best wishes to you.
Thanks Ladies! I hope my video will inspire others to keep going on. Most things in life that are worth are darn aren't easily achieved. Lots of Love just from another Zumba addict.

I have worked really hard to grow naturally and not get implants and went from a 32AA to a 32D and I'm so worried about losing there. Also did you achieve your flat tummy from Zumba alone? Or did you also do other workouts?

@anastasia916 Thank you for your compliments and questions. Yes and Yes. I went down a few sizes in my chest, lol. And the only workout I did was zumba. If you really focus on your stomach and engage it for all the moves, Zumba really works on the abs. Good luck!

@janethdz Thank you so much! I started out 3x's and worked up to 6. They offered Zumba toning 2x's a week and that was part of my 6 days. As far as diet, moderation and cutting out the sugars makes a huge difference. Good luck! And God bless you.

If I took up Zumba at home with DVD's would it help me tone up I just had a baby 4 months ago via c section (not my choice) and need to repair my tummy muscles. I used to be a size 10 pre pregnancy and now my lower body is a size 12 and even thats touch and go with clothes =(. I don't have the time with my daughter to go take lessons away from home so is it just as effective in the comfort of your own home?

@psalm41aus I've never used the videos but from what I understand they aren't any different accept you are alone. I would say if your abs are ready it would be great! (I don't know what the recovery time is for a C-section) I always tried to remember to keep my abs engaged at all times. It really helped reduce the size of my waist. I have had 3 kids and as you saw from my time line it wasn't until 6yrs after my last child that I made the changes :) Best wishes to you

How do you keep from feeling tired when exercising on a lo carb diet? I always get so groggy feeling.
Smileyyogini 1 year ago
@Smileyyogini How long did you stay on the lowcarb? And what kinds of exercise did you do while on it? I actually feel much more alert and have more energy once my body crosses over into ketosis. It's the first couple of days that are the hardest. I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster with energy highs and lows when I eat too many carbs/sugar. I like the steady energy I get from the lowcarb.

@stephaniemewborn yes that's all I did. I went to Zumba classes anywhere from 4-6 times a week and stuck to a low carb diet. It not only changed my body it also helped with my emotions. Best wishes to you and thank you for your comments.
