MORE SUPPORT

When I lost my weight, I did not have a support system in place. I did it

through trial and a lot of error, and that`s why I did open my exercise and

motivational studio in the first place! What I have learned in all these

years at Slimmons is that support is the key to winning this battle. I got

the pleasure of speaking with 2 ladies who decided to create their own

support group, and wait until you hear how the groups are doing!

London from West Virginia is 28 years old and has suffered the wrath of

obesity all her life. When London got on the scale and it shouted 288

pounds, that was it. London started to eat healthier first. A month later,

she got some of my workout programs and started sweatin`. She asked her

sister and some friends to join her and come over and work out.

Well, I talked to London, and WOW! She has lost 76 pounds, her sister 70,

and everyone else in the group has dropped weight, too! I did talk with

, who has lost 70 pounds, and also London`s husband, , who dropped

around 40. Isn`t this story amazing? Guess what. is building a fitness

room so that everyone will have more room to work out! What a sweet man.

Oh, here`s another one you`ve got to know about. from Ohio works with

4 other ladies, and all of them have a weight problem. came up with an

idea. She asked everyone if they wanted to join her in a weight loss support

group, and they all said yes!

" I asked the girls to have a contest for 6 months to see who could be at the

healthiest weight. Then we put in $5.00 every week, and at the end of 6

months, we get our money back to help start us on a new wardrobe. It`s not

really a competition; it`s all about support. We`ve lost a combined total of

116 pounds! I`ve lost 31 pounds myself, and it feels great! "

When I spoke to , I congratulated her on her ideas and personal

success.

Have these 2 ladies planted a seed in your mind? If you need more support,

be like London and get your family and friends to join in, or be like

and invite your coworkers to sweat with you! Not only will you be helping

yourself, but you`ll be helping all the people who came with you on your

journey!

Love,
