Re: Question of the Week/Purpose/Understanding my Post

[Guest guest]

Amybeth,

Just because we talk about other forms of exercise, we are bad?? I don't

understand why that's bad. Even does other forms of exercise. The only

reason I didn't respond to your other post is because I again didn't understand

what you were saying and I guess I forgot about it - sorry.

Darcy

AmyBeth, you act like exercise is a crime. For some people, Tae-Bo is

exercise and just that. For others, it is something deeper. There is nothing

wrong with doing Tae-Bo to get exercise! Exercise is good for you!!

Well AmyBeth I did not ignore your post. I saved it as new and have re-read

it twice to see if I could glean from it what you were trying to say. Even

gave it considerable thought in the shower this am. I think what you might

be saying is that Taebo is as much a spiritual commitment to a way of life as

much as it is the exercise part of it.

I agree that Taebo has changed my body. Many inches and even a few pounds.

Taebo is also about the change in my life style and my commitment to a

healthy body and an increase in confidence in my life. I am guilty of

getting caught up in the No. of workouts/how many miles I ran, etc. But I

realize I wouldn't even be doing it without the change in my heart.

Is this what you are getting at?

Caroline, who's really trying to understand what you are saying and would

miss your posts as you have contributed so much over the past 2 years I've

been here.

OMG, that is part of an on going joke I have with and Susi. Me

chanting " I hate Tae-Bo " is part of my self depreciating sense of humor. It

is a joke that stems back from our trip to LA!!

I am not in fear of anything. And there is nothing you can say that would

cause me fear in the slightest. I was not " throwing my friendship with Susi

and around at you. " I was explaining myself. And FYI, you know

NOTHING about me OR what I stand for. If you don't like the way I handle

myself or this list, create your own. It is that simple. I am done with this

now. We don't need this negativity on the list!

Right there shows me that you do not have a better attitude about God. I am

done with this. I hope you find a list that meets your needs AmyBeth. I will

miss your input.

Amy Beth is way out of line. I can't believe the things she says. Everyone is

a Christian if you believe in Jesus Christ. Geez, I can't believe its getting

all religious. Besides everyone is on their own path, and believes what he or

she wants to. Just because some doesn't do something everyone else does, does

not make them wrong. Geez not everything works for everyone! That's why the

world is so Interesting, cause everyone believes different and looks

different. Just because someone Lost weight without complaining, doesn't mean

they won't if they complain. I am all for complaining if I want to! =)

should stay. =) Everyone loves her. I am done venting now. Its silly for

someone to get all bent out of shape if someone does not follow another

persons beliefs. =)

THIS GIRL WANTS AMANDA TO STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

go Exercise be healthy and Love your God but don't claim to be a

TaeBoer cuz your NOT......

AmyBeth, I don't know where you get off talking to , and the rest of

the list, this way. I was trying to stay out of it, but you are way out of

line. Just because we don't worship Blanks (he's HUMAN, not GOD!) that

doesn't make us bad people. You live your life and do Tae Bo your way, and

let the rest of us do it our way. Stating an opinion is one thing but

telling us we're basically stupid and worthless because we don't worship Tae

Bo and (which is what I get out of your posts) is quite another. Sorry

, and the other moderators. I should probably keep my mouth shut but

this really ticks me off.

[Guest guest]

I agree with you , It was quite Disturbing to see AmyBeth's Post. Geez,

can't we All just get along. I love Taebo, but because it makes me feel good.

Not just because of . But I am thankful that he brought Taebo out! =)

Smiles,

Lacey

[Guest guest]

is not god AmyBeth. Geez, I was actually Reading not Listening. Get a

Grip! Who thinks Amy Beth needs to take a chill pill!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

AmyBeth I have had it for the last time with your DUMB Comments. Yeah That's

great your worship . I am grateful for all your accomplishments, but do

you ever just sit back and read your OWN posts? Geez everyone will exercise

for their own reasons, and not for yours. Who made you god anyway? You sound

like a bad Church Novel. That's all I have to say. God Bless you and have a

great Journey.

you should know me better then to think I think Exercise is a

Crime......I am sad that you don't and that you all still don't get

it

.......and that was my point at the end....since you don't I can't

share my TaeBo knowledge here anylonger...I thought this waas

TaeBo On.....meaning that this group would follow the true

meaning of TaeBo and carry it on...I was the one mistaken...I am

under the impression the last few times I have been with you

that you don't even like Taebo anymore I can no longer digest all

that....I can't listen to every one talk about their great or bad

bodies or thier fatigue and challenge....that isn't TaeBo....

and btw Monseenior -- I use many different foms of exercise to

train my body but I only use TAEBO to train my Spirit.....

AmyBeth-who sees the truest form of anger when folks are

afraid...Fear begets Hate......sorry I bother I should have kept

quiet but has taught me to BELIEVE in a Taebo that I truly

feel responsible for keeping Pure....TaeBo once again loud and

clear HEAR me ROAR IS NOT JUST AN EXERCISE ...if you use it

just for that you are denying yourself the many rewards that

TaeBo has to offer.....

Wed. to think about their Purpose.....everyone of them ignored

us......we have bragged on Fridays and we have motivated

ourselves to do more then many of us (mainly me) ever

expected.....but I wanted to show them how they could take it to

another level by giving their workouts purpose......but they didn't

want to do that they didn't want to admit that they were being

side tracked with their visual selves.....

Again thank you for trying to undestand atleast....the rest of

them just jump on their band wagons and yell and pout......and

throw around their GOD......he is my GOD too and he evoked me

to make those statements....I am usually a passive and quiet

poster with an open mind too all angles....but when it comes to

TaeBo yes, I am the TaeBo Police and I (emphasis

added) made MYSELF the TaeBo Police......and btw until GOD

takes my breath I will always be the TaeBo Police so don't let

your guard down......

AmyBeth-who again thanks Caroline for responding in a none

defensive manner -- it is a true comfort to have a debate with

someone who is sure in their beliefs and not afraid to hear

others..... Remember Frear begets Hate......

That would not be what I was referring to and don't throw your

relationship with Susi and around at me......uh I know

all about who you are and what you stand for and I am

shocked that you even run this list to be quite honest....why you

would want to knowing your feelings about and TaeBo and

all.....please don't think any thing I have to say regarding this

list

had anything to do withyou I already knew I couldn't prevoke a

thought relating to TaeBo with YOU......you hve given me that

message for a long time....I am sorry but the way in which you

handle yourself and this list is what impressed me upon that

and comments you have made to me personally not with

regarding to LA or anthing you metioned....again don't let your

Fears get in the way of Listening to what I said......

My post was about Purpose......

peace

Yes, I did not respond because I had NO IDEA what you meant. I was

hoping you would explain!

went on and on about themselves and what Taebo had done

> for them.......we all have testimonials to what TaeBo has done for

And just maybe sharing what Tae-Bo has done for us would inspire

others to give it a try???

I rarely talk about God. I do not throw him around and I am DEEPLY

insulted by that comment. I am not a follower of Blanks, I

follow Jesus Christ. That was my point.

I am the TaeBo Police and I (emphasis

> added) made MYSELF the TaeBo Police......and btw until GOD

> takes my breath I will always be the TaeBo Police so don't let

> your guard down......

Well by making yourself the Tae-Bo police, you are taking away a lot

of the enjoyment of Tae-Bo. I would think about the people you may be

turning away from it with that attitude. I understand you are

passionate about Tae-Bo, but insulting other people is not a way to

get people to see your side of things...

[Guest guest]

You always talk about God ....and you threw your God at

me.....and if you aren't a follower of billy Blanks why do you run

this list this is TaeBo On.....no Exercise On.......

I know deep in my heart I have a better attitude about God and

and TaeBo then you do and I don't know what you mean

about insulting you.....I provoked you is what I did and you are

afraid of what I am saying .......unfortunately you have many more

journeys to complete before you can fully understand what I am

saying.....sourround your self with LOVE and you will in

turn get Love....right now you surround yourself with Pity and that

is all you are going to get back is Pity.....I never allowed anyone

to pity me during my physical journey.....if I had I wouldn't have

ever gotten off that couch and lost that 100 lbs and changed my

innerspirit and changed my lifestyle...I would be like you

now....just exercising along and whining and complaining when

I fell off the wagon or ate something I shouldn't have.......

go Exercise be healthy and Love your God but don't claim to be a

TaeBoer cuz your NOT......

peace

AmyBeth-who will leave you to your list now -- go lead it they way

a Good Christian should since this is the Exericse your Christian

Visual selfs list and not the TaeBo On list it claims to be.....

AmyBeth-who doesn't need a List to be a part of.....she is a part

not!!!!!! and btw you never enjoyed my input or gave it a seconds

you Love me and you will miss me you never liked me or

enjoyed my company from the moment I met you -=- it was in

your eyes.... taught us that you can't deny your Soul......and

you never looked in mine to know me well enough and your were

shut to me........I will pray for your disabilities and hope that you

overcome them cuz I know how painful they can be Spiritually --

and AmyBeth'sknows from experience too how they (disabilities)

can Blind you........so try to remember what I was trying to say....

Listen to whatever word you need to call it -- with your ears and

Again you weren't listening either sorry for you

peace

AmyBeth-who never called anyone stupid...she tried to get this

list to talk about something TaeBo related......tried to share a

new way to see TaeBo but no one waanted to listen......i am sorry

I don't usually get involved in disputes either and would have

normally just walked away from this group for a long time.....but

when the Elena topic came up i snapped....for you see I loved

elena....deeply ......this list In My Humble Opinion ran her

off....by

not letting her learn the true meaning of TaeBo......she didn't

have to go....she could have done what all of you do here

....shared her committment to exercise.....think about that for a

while...why did Elena leave.....I give that burden to all of you I

watched it happen I lurked and listened with my ears while you

girls just said goodbeye to one of the best spirited TaeBoers on

this list........just cuz she couldn't TaeBo anymore she thought

she had to leave.......guess what that is what all you are saying to

me.....we don't have to worship Blanks....although again in

my humble opinion and I btw have one....you should that man

changed my whole life and I will worship him until the day I can

no longer take breath and then I will be with my Lord....who

blessed us with Mr. Blanks' and his vision.....but anyway about

Elena......as what you all are just saying she didn't have to leave

here....most of the Group is here for exercise and motivation and

that is all Elena could do she coudln't do TaeBo anymore but

when why did yah'll let her leave...none of you told her the things

you just screamed at me....none of you cared enough about

sharing your Love of whatever it is to try to get her to stay......

peace

AmyBeth-who is the least negative person will ever met

and she laughs at her comment about this list getting away from

the negativivity since she learned that from ME......hah.....

I am sorry to you Janet -- you are new and you walked into this

hornet's nest....this had been brewing for some time but in

answer to your question....

I was asking you your purpose for TaeBoing......why do you

TaeBo......

i won't bore y ou with all the reasons why but I TaeBo for life....at

23 years old I was crippled from the waist up...I used exercise to

change that...I found TaeBo and it gave me a reason to

Exercise....what is my Purpose what is my Reason for

TaeBoing....

Life.......

TaeBo gives me life .......TaeBo gives me Purpose....TaeBo Gave

me the use of my body back......

what did it do FOR you....why do you TaeBo? they are the

same....

again sorry Janet none of this was about you -- you are new on

your Journey and try to block all that you heard out and

experience TaeBo the waay will teach you too.....Listen with

your ears and your heart......

I am sorry I don't even know who you are....I didn't mean to evoke

such anger in you...I only wanted to evoke your

Purpose.....somehwere along the line it got personal with

....I know why cuz I know .....I don't know you so I

don't know why I evoked such anger...maybe I did come across

accusatory but I have listened and lurked here for a while and

that was my feelings and my opinions of what I hear at this

group and how I feel the direction of this group is going......we all

need to be redirected.......shoot the messenger......if you

will......hang me for the truth.....but this list needs a Purpose

again......even the oldies are saying it.......I am an oldie....I

preach

the original tapes and the current Vision of and TaeBo.....I

hate to be a Preacher though I am a follower usually if you knew

me you would know that already and had known that when you

read my post and realized..I wasn't trying to be negative or

accusatory that is not my nature...I was trying to get you to

think.....about something outside of the Visual self.....I am not

very good at it I see..I am still learning..I used to have a knack for

words - i used to inspire people with my thoughts......but I guess

I don't have it anymore..been too busy learning to lead....I m

trying to be a Leader a Teacher ....and I guess my

first stab was an awfully bad one...I apologize for making you

think all the things you think of me....

I am AmyBeth and I have had a long TaeBo Journey I have loved

it hated it used it abused it and shared it.......I will continue to

grow with it.....it is MY Vision..I have tried all exercises out

there I do many exercises regularly -- yes ladies -- close your

mouths I

do Firm, Reebok and Owens and and Tammi

Lee I do

all of them regularly see -- I already hit my platuea and I already

learned that weights have to be used to train my disabilities.....I

was trying to share a new level with you all....again Idid it

hideously.....for that I am sorry I need to work on my delivery --

hah breath out when you punch breah in when you retract.....

peace

AmyBeth-who will continue to try thoughy...yah'll didn't Break my

Spirit

just my heart.........
