Hello Everyone!

I'm sorry that I haven't had the time to get back to

the Club before now...

2000 was intended to be the year of my Physical

Transformation.2001 is the year

of my Financial Transformation.I've begun a business

from home and am

overwhelmed with the newfound " Freedom " (laughing)

being my Own Boss is

affording me. (really laughing now).

I've read some of the responses people have posted

about my Transformation at

this Club and others...I'll answer a few of the

questions now, and provide more

information on my next visit.

First, THANK YOU for ALL of your encouragement and

congratulations!!!You guys

are Awesome!

If I had one message that I could give Anyone working

to build a Fit Body it

would be, " I did it...so YOU Can too!In fact,Id suggest

most of you could do far

better than I have!

About my " skin " ...Many people have asked about the Fat

to Fit " Flabby Skin

Syndrome " .When I started my Transformation last year,I

was very worried that

when I completed my transformation I'd have a " ripped "

body covered with lose

flabby skin.So I did a couple things to combat that

possiblity.Whether they had

Any effect or not,I'll probably never know.

Firstly, no, I did't have liposuction (as some have

questioned.)I have a long

vertical scar on my stomach caused by a required

surgery over a decade ago.If I

had liposuction...I would have told the Doctor, " GO

STRAIGHT TO MY

LEGS!!! " (laughing)

What I did do to fight the possibility of " leftover

skin " was I scrubbed my body

Every night followed by a moisturizer.I coerced my

boyfriend to massage my

" problem areas " and did it myself with a hand held

massage " gizmo " when he

wasn't available.

I know this will sound strange to many...but,it's what

worked for me,so...One of

the first things I did was I learned to love and

appreciate my body " just as it

was " ,then,I Constantly visualized the way I wanted my

body to be...I had

pictures of the Best Bodies in the fitness industry

plastered Everywhere around

our home, and I mentally pictured my face on those

bodies CONSTANTLY!

Once I got my " mind " to accept that " I'm GOING to

achieve this (ideal)body with

or Without you!!! " (lol)Everything changed.

Thank you for reposting Mina's thoughts.

I hadn't heard her story before. The before and after photos are SO

inspiring.

I am 51 and am very glad to have found the hints in this fourth post

regarding possible ways to minimize the skin sag. I will definately

be incorporating both techniques into my daily routine as I finish

these last 8 weeks of my challenge. I have about 30 pounds to go.

Thanks again for digging these up and sharing.

I remember reading that Mina had plans to start a personal training

business? Did she ever get that started?

You're all welcome, and I'm happy to see these posts were helpful

for some of you. There are actually four messages by Mina. I tried

to number them in the subject header so they'd be easier to find.
