It's been nearly 2 yrs and I'm still BRINGING IT!!! I've reached my goal weight and lost over 90 lbs, more than 82 inches and almost 20% body fat so far but I'm not finished yet!!!! < !--graemlin:< !--graemlin:-->-->

UPDATE: Not only have I been X'd TWICE, I'm a GOLD Certified Turbo Kick instructor, an MDB Coach and I was the $10,000 July Success Story!! I was also asked to be in the new Slim in 6 informercial!!!!

< !--graemlin:< !--graemlin:-->-->

I am on A MISSION for others to see that real weight loss IS NOT impossible!!! < !--graemlin:< !--graemlin:-->-->

Anyone know how to best get photos I've got to upload. I keep getting that they are too large? How do I make them smaller?

Okay all, today I braved a step on the scale. I am a little obsessive about it (okay, REALLY obsessive about it) but I do know that measurements are what really count.

My kids keep insisting that I'm getting thinner and they can tell. My 5 yr old informed me that he saw the weight "sliding off of my while I was working out." No, sweetie, that was sweat!

A little sidebar, he informed his father and I last night as he "flexed" his stomach that he was buff just like Mommy. Cracked us up! (His mommy is faaaaaaaaar from buffed but thrilled he said buffed and not fat!)

Anyway, back to the scale...I've lost 8 LBS!!!!! Now I know that it is a lot of water because I'm up to nearly a gallon a day but still! I decided to take my measurements and I'm down 2 in. in my chest and 2 in. in my waist.

I'm so thrilled!!!! HOWEVER I also know that a BIG part of the weight loss so far is because I'm working out 2x/day and doing the 6 Day Express plan. It will slow down quite a bit next week and I'm totally aware of that. But, I really needed this to give me that extra motivation to really GO FOR IT!

I'm going to be HOT this year! Watch out!!!!

Here's the same Ladies' Retreat but with my gorgeous mom and sister. (The pic is down further. Thank you Doris! I'm in the middle.) Hopefully it comes out, it's sooooo tiny on my screen.

As you can see, Sis is tiny, tiny, tiny...makes me sick! Little size six butt makes me want to throw up!

No, I really love her to pieces (she's my little sis) but for once I want to be the one people call HOT instead of hearing how HOT my sister is, know what I mean?!?!?

I told her this morning that she'd better watch out. I might be borrowing her clothes before the year is out! WHOOOO HOOOO!

Thanks Portia for the compliment. This is working more and more each day! Let's GO FOR IT!

Tina

Okay, testing my signature and ticker...Please let this work!!!

Wow! 6 Day Express ROCKS!!!! Today's my rest day and I can totally tell, I was really having a hard time in RIU last night. Only Slim and Limber for me tonight. That's my dessert these days!

(((ELLEN))) Doin my HAPPY DANCE now!!! Thanks so much for checking in, for the wonderful compliment and giving me the info on P90. I think he's using my buying it later as an excuse to "get his diet together first". Well, I might just surprise him and get it now. As for me, I'm just looking forward to stealing her clothes for a change!

Now I'm off to the doctors for the test results. I'll take all the good vibes I can get!!!

Hi Tina Thanks for stopping my and getting a laugh at my roll.lol story. But it was true. I wish I could see your pictures but they only show up all white when I come to you site. I've tried several different times but still can't see you . Hope to see you in wowy sometime. Gerry

Hey there, Miss Tina!

I've seen you on Ellen's board and wanted to come by and say hey! Your name caught my eye, because one of my best friends in elementary school was "Tina Kline"...but then when I saw your age...well, let's say that you are a decade behind me, so not possible!!

More advice for hubby...GET POWER 90...it WORKS and it's NOT girlie!! Check out our thread below and you can see how MY hubby did. He loves Tony (in a manly sort of appreciation!!) and would do P90 over any other BB tape I have, including Turbo Jam! He thinks THAT is girlie!! In fact, one day when I finally convinced him to do TJ with me, he got so frustrated with the "girlie" moves, that he went upstairs and cranked out P90 3/4 sweat in double time to what Tony was doing! He all but "roared" when he was done...a sweaty hunk of a man!!

Check out the threads Ellen posted for you, and here are a couple more that inspired Kemo :

Tony & Dawn Barca (my personal BB favs): http://forums.beachbody.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/17410191/m/545100651/p/1

Fred Meisle (scroll halfway down to his pix posted on Sept 2, 2003, but make sure you are sitting down!!): http://forums.beachbody.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3932969366/m/9092945027/p/5

There are so many other examples...but these two men not only lost an amazing amount of weight, but they toned up and are STILL active with BB after 3 years!! And they aren't what you could call YOUNG! What GREAT, living testimonies to what drastically changing your fitness lifestyle can do for you!

So you two...GO FOR IT!! And come tell us about your journey on our thread too!

I'll leave you with a great quote from someone we all know and love :

"Obstacles" only exist in the mind and greatness comes from running right over them.
