GOING, GOING, GONE!

As the week goes by, does your motivation die? Well, before tomorrow rolls

around, let`s pump up your motivation with these success stories!

Charlie from Ohio always had trouble keeping his weight down. After high

school, he weighed 215 pounds. Charlie wanted to become a soldier, but he

was way out of shape and could not even begin to train to meet the physical

fitness requirements. " My mother bought me one of your videos. I was

skeptical about fitness coming from an exercise video, but I was struggling

to keep up! It took a month before I noticed I was not huffing and puffing

like I was. And after losing shy of 35 pounds, I was able to join the

service where I lost more weight! I am now comfortable and 159 pounds and

have found that inside I am a runner at heart! Thank you for keeping me

motivated! "

Congrats, Charlie! Thank your mom for me. She`s the one that brought us

together!

Patty from California recently turned 42 and wrote to me to explain, " I am

in the best shape of my life! " At 225 pounds, Patty felt miserable. She

realized that she had to eat healthy and start moving. She knew she had to

find an activity to do. Back in the 80's when she lived in Argentina, Patty

loved to dance. She remembered she had a few of my tapes and that I loved to

dance, too. " Your tapes got me going again, and so far, I`ve lost 82 pounds!

Now I get on my bike and ride around the city. Thank you for everything! "

Oh no, thank you, Patty, for dancing with me! I see the Tour de France in

your future!

One more before the clock strikes midnight. Kathy and Ray from Oregon often

write me to give an update on how they`re doing. Kathy is now under 300

pounds for the first time in over 5 years! " I can actually see my goals

being accomplished! This has been another breakthrough for me. Ray is now

down 116 pounds and has another 30 to lose to get to his goal! "

You two are so fantastic! Please keep each other going. And all of you

reading this, you keep going until those extra pounds are gone, gone, gone!

Love,
