thanks ,

I know at times I have been too impatient and tried to get faster results in

ways that actually set me back. I see this self-defeating attitude in others

way too often. The true key to me is to increase exercise gradually and to

change eating habits gradually (especially starting with less saturated fats

& drinking more water), to avoid shocking your metabolism physically and

burning yourself out psychologically.

To show how TB can help at any age even with minimum use:

my mom who is 75 just does the 8 minute work-out almost everyday

and her waist has lost over 4 inches even though she has gained 2 pounds!!!

My dad who is a tailor had to take some of her clothes in

It truly is the tool to fitness if people are patient.

Sandy,

hang in there!!!!

it must be the real thing cuz my waist lost another inch after working-out

(total 10 ), hips half an inch and thighs half an inch!!!

your menus and points from WW helped me adjust my intake BTW

confirming I was not eating enough

I have been trying not to really count points or calories lately and break

the *diet* mentality & just choose foods with less saturated fat, more fiber

and smaller but more frequent portions, not letting myself get hungry or too

hungry

Of course, my hubby gave me disapproving looks as I started eating after

dinner too but to him cuz it is working.

Barb,

When all of this is said and done and you get over this plateau that

has been haunting you...you will definitely be able to help so many

people! You will be an inspiration for those people who are struggling

with not seeing results and who want to give up. You will be able to

share your experience and tell them how you have benefited from trying

different things and REALLY listening to your body! I am so proud of

you because you have never given up and just keep trying different

things, knowing that eventually you are going to get it right! Way to

go!

[Guest guest]

Barb, your progress has given me hope. I truly believe I'm a slow popper

too, and hearing about your recent plateau-busting progress has helped me

immensely.

Way to go Barb, and congratulations!

Way to go, Barb! When that plateau is gone for good..and it must be

on it's way out for sure..then we need to get it tied up and shipped to

the Yoga Lady asap, so it doesn't attach itself to any other Tae-bo-ers.

Grr..that scale...why not take a metal tape measure and redo your

measurements including wrist or any other points you didn't do the

first time around...write them down and put them away for future

reference? We already know the measurements and the fit of our clothes

are the best indicators. And the fit of the clothes (jeans) can even

get a little goofy because of muscle and the body shape shifting.

-who would love attending a going away party for the

plateau...but isn't sure it deserves one...maybe a better party would

be a " Barb held in there and stuck it to the plateau party " .

Barb,

She might have suspected a plateau was coming her way. Ok, second

choice the people that send unsolicited porn over the internet.

-who needs to get my workout in after sleeping in today due to

being up all night watching for the J.D.'s that have been vandalizing

my property.
