Just so everyone knows, and I have known each other for 6 years. She is one of my closest friends. She has watched me gain and lose and has always been there to encourage me. I am just sad that we don't live by each other anymore I know you will all love her. Besides her big heart, she is hysterically funny!!! just ordered the tapes today. She has never tried Tae-Bo so I am sure any advise we could all share with her would be appreciated. Yay! Welcome to Tae-Bo , LOL!!!!!

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2000 Report Share Posted March 1, 2000 , welcome! I am so happy that you're postponing your bypass trek and walking the tae bo path instead. We'll be hanging in there with you through all your changes. I look forward to hearing more about you. ;-) F " andrea " <dann-@...> wrote: original article:tae-bo_on/?start=13204 > Hi!

Taebo can do it for you if you really really use it! Stick with us. We'll give you all the tips, motivation, and support you'll need to hang in there. You'll love it here.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2000 Report Share Posted March 1, 2000 Welcome to the list ! You will get such great support here and it is so wonderful that you have a friend like to point you to the list. She is also a great inspiration to us all. As for me I have been doing Tae-Bo for one month and have lost a total of 10 inches and about 5 pounds. The inches always come off first. I added your intro to the web site that we have for the list. You can find the web site at: http://taeboon.isportsdot.com Newbie! > Hi! My name is , I'm a close friend of 's. I have been > struggling with my weight (I'm huge), for about 6 years now.

She has lost > so much weight and has such a positive mental attitude, that I'm > cancelling my surgery appt. and am going to give Tae-Bo a try. > , Welcome to the group! I'm so glad you listened to and decided to give tae-bo and this group a try as opposed to surgery! I think you will find tremendous support here and you have a wonderful role model in . Listen to her because her attitude is contagious and you can have it too! The first step is always the hardest and you've already done that (ordering the tapes) and deciding that only you can do this for yourself! Please try not to be so hard on yourself. Many of us have been where you are and your goals are attainable....you have to be willing to do the work, but if you are...there is nothing that can stop you. I want you to look in the mirror and find one thing that you like about yourself (it can be anything....come on, there's got to be a couple of things) and try to look beyond the outer, physical person looking back at you. You are so much more than " huge " ....I hope you know that. There is more to you than the physical body. I know how easy it is to focus on how much weight we have to lose or how far we have to go to reach our goals, but just take it one day at a time. I promise you, you'll start to feel the inner changes (more confidence, an inner strength, a belief that you can acheive your goals) and the outer changes will follow. The most important thing is to believe that you can reach your goals. If you believe you can do it, you can. If you believe you'll fail before you even start, you will. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm preaching...but when I read your introduction that statement about you being huge really jumped out at me and I just wanted you to know that you are much more than that statement. We all start out at different points, but we're all on the same journey...to be more fit and to feel better. We all gain different things along the way....and you will too. I'm glad you've joined us and I hope I didn't scare you away with all my babbling I hope you find this group as motivational as I do! who will step down off her box now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 Welcome to the group Jen! We are a very open group here, feel free to talk about anything, soaping or not! We're in the planning stages of a gathering for this summer. If you haven't already, pop on over to the groups poll page & vote! What kind of soap do you make? I do mp, but have dabbled in cphp.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 Welcome, Jen! I think you'll like this group! I live in Naples, not too far from Ithaca. I do CP soap and other stuff and sell mostly at festivals and on the web but do have things in a couple of gift shops. I might be doing the festival in Ithaca this June. Still thinking about it but I think I might go for it. Have you ever been to it? I hear there's usually pretty big crowds. Sounds like a lot of fun!
