When does exercise start to feel more comfortable?

I’m 5’7 F and 282 lbs, for reference. I was just wondering at what point in your weight loss journey did exercising begin to feel more comfortable? I have really enjoyed doing Zumba and other cardio workouts I can find on YouTube at lower weights, but right now they are really uncomfortable because of all the fat that gets in the way while doing the movements. I want to do exercise I enjoy, otherwise I feel like giving up, so right now I’m sticking to walking, because I enjoy it and it’s not physically/emotionally uncomfortable due to all the fat being in the way. I also am not fond of the gym/lifting, I find it boring after a few weeks and I like something more fast-paced movement-wise. I’ve been overweight/obese since puberty, but I can’t remember what I weighed the last time one of these cardio workouts I enjoyed was actually enjoyable for me, so just thought I’d ask here for people’s experiences. Feel free to share what clothing size, BMI, or weight you were when your fat was low enough for these exercises to feel enjoyable again :)

I’m also going to try these different workouts as I lose weight to see what is comfortable for me, I guess I just want a weight range to look forward to where I hope to feel comfortable doing something other than walking.
