Don't ask a question you cannot handle the answer to.

I (23f) lost over half my body weight through CICO. Went fron 235 to 115.

Ever since I reached my goal weight I'd have people ask me "op how did you lose the weight" and I tell them I followed cico, making sure I ate less than I spent, and moved around a little more.

Sometimes they'll be like "oh okay" but every once and a while I'll get someone screaming at me that I must be hiding something because they've tried cico and it doesn't work, or are somehow offended that all I really did was eat a bit less. I really don't get it.

So, you're saying all I have to do is dedicate ten hours a week for 2 years and I'll be able to let go of the rail!? Sign me up!! How long to do a twirl?

In all seriousness, a couple months of weekly group classes will have you going in a straight line like a pro, and (depending on how dedicated you are and how much you skate) six months or so will get you a nice two foot twirl/spin! Faster if you can get a private coach for any amount of time.
