This is Veronica Ernest. From the time I met my husband to the day my first child was born I had gained about 100 pounds. I couldn't move or breath and I didn't like the way I looked. I wanted to be able to play with my son so I decided to lose weight. I lost about 35 pounds in a year and a half on my own then, I joined weight watchers. I learned to eat healthy and exercise and I lost 18 pounds in ten weeks. I got pregnant with my second child and gained 40 pounds. Six weeks after she was born I joined weight watchers again. I've lost my baby weight plus 20 pounds, and I've kept it off. I'm not writting this because I I'm trying to get people to join weight watchers, I'm just saying it helped me.My friend, Rachel Page, told me about Zumba and after the first class I was hooked. I've been going to the classes about three times and week and doing other cycling and strengthening classes and my body has toned up and changed like I never thought possible. I feel so strong and I love my new muscles. I love the energy I have. I especially love the looks I get from people I haven't seen in awhile.I know people look at me and think that I've always looked this way and that I've always had this much energy but its not true. I've attached a before picture and you can see my after at Zumba!

Thank you for sharing. That is awesome and you do look fantastic. And, might I add, becoming quite a hip shaker. Don't think we don't notice when you gals get into the Zumba class and start adding your own style.
