UPDATED PIC...25LBS TO GO!! GREAT NSV!

Hey Friends!!!  Just wanted to share a quick NSV!!  I go to Jazzercise M-F and I LOVE IT!!  The center I go to is fabulous and I LOVE the group workout environment...it's SO MOTIVATING!

Anyway, today the Franchise owner told me I should consider BECOMING AN INSTRUCTOR!!!  I respect the girls that lead the classes SO MUCH BECAUSE THEY ARE SO FIT!!  So I almost laughed out loud when she suggested it but she was totally serious!!  It's actually something I've thought about doing but didn't think I was anywhere near being ready for it...

So I'm pretty psyched and going to look into being certified probably by the Spring!  YAY!!!

Have a GREAT week!!

 Great Job!! Keep Up the good work!!

Thank you!!!

 You look great and you look happy - and what an NSV! We have similar numbers and surgery dates, but I'm a lot older. I have 22 pound to go to get to 160 and it sure is tougher now. But we will both get there!

Yes we will!

Great job on losing 130lbs and being fit!

Did your doctor set your goal weight? I'm just curious because I'm 5'2" and I'm supposed to get to 135. Of course, everyone is different.

Nope.  My nutritionist and I talked about it at our very first meeting last summer and she asked me where I wanted to be at goal.  I said "around 160 or so".  She said, "that's very doable, realistic and will be easy to maintain".  My group of docs don't focus on a number on the scale...I actually feel fantastic right now at 185 so I know that just allowing my body to take the lead is the way to go for me.

Thanks for the encouraging post!!=)

Awesome! Do you thing! I could take a lesson from it, definitely!

 Do IT!!! what a great career to go with your healthy new lifestyle :)

I know it sounds crazy but I am so excited about it!!!  It's definitely something that will be awesome in 2 ways.  Besides leading others to great health, I'll be absolutely sure to get my workout in every day and GET PAID TO DO IT!!!  How crazy is THAT!?

Thanks for your kind words=)
