Today’s weight loss success story: Mia lost 129 pounds with Zumba and becoming a vegetarian. She is now a Zumba instructor.
“My name is Mia and I’m 41 years old. I’ve struggled with my weight all my life. In April 2011, I made a choice to change my life (mentally, physically and spiritually). I started doing Zumba and FELL in love. This is from the girl that HATED working out. After a a month of Zumba 3 to 4 times week, I started seeing results. By then I was HOOKED on Zumba and started taking classes 5-6 times a week. Since then, I’ve lost 129 pounds, am now vegatarian (the girl that LOVED fried chicken:), became certified to teach Zumba, and now teach a Zumba class every Saturday and Wednesday. If I can do it, ANYONE can… #itsachoice
I was a junk food eater, fast foods, lots of chips… I decided to change that. I stopped eating all the junk, cut out red meat and pork from my diet. My diet consisted of lean chicken breast, lean fish, TONS of leafy veggies, fruits, grains and water (only). After eating like that for months, I decided to give up meat all together, which turned out to be the BEST thing. The weight REALLY started to come off then.”

Mia your story has inspired me! Keep doing what you’re doing you look absolutely amazing! You go girl! I have been interested in Zumba for at least 2 years & have not made a move. I maintain a very busy schedule, work 2 jobs, but I need to make it happen. Not only is it a choice as you said, but also a mindset. You pray for me, I’ll pray for you & watch God change things. #mindtowork!!!

You are an encouragement. You have to love God if you have not already done so. I had a stoke two and a half years ago without noticing the signs.
I was a big guy before. After the stoke I loss 100 lbs and I do not want the weight back. I tried to loss weight with a program. My wife has been great as I see just what the vows mean. My family has been great too.
My speech was effected but I will work on it till I get better or changed when Jesus/God come again.
