Last week I posted <u><a href="http://legbutthipthighexercises.com/blog/mid-life-transformation-yep-its-real/"> the preview article for this candid &#8220;Before &#038; After&#8221; Mid-Life Transformation Interview</a></u> &#8230;</p>
<p>What Bel, from <u><a href="http://www.BelsBodyBlog.com"><strong>http://www.BelsBodyBlog.com</strong></a></u> &#8211; shares in this interview below goes far deeper than the superficial elements of a fitness lifestyle. What she reveals is not only extremely powerful &#8211; but it&#8217;s what most people never actually hear about, let alone realize it&#8217;s something they need to tap into for their own success.</p>
<p><center><div id="attachment_270" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img src="http://legbutthipthighexercises.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bel-photo-300x268.jpg" alt="Aging In Reverse: Bel at 46 - almost 47!!" title="bel photo" width="300" height="268" class="size-medium wp-image-270" /><p class="wp-caption-text"><strong>Aging In Reverse: Bel at 46 - almost 47!!</strong></p></div></center></p>
<p>The most powerful transformations are actually a smaller part of one&#8217;s &#8220;Evolution&#8221;. When your personal growth is guided by your core values and life-long dreams &#8211; you set the stage for amazing things to happen&#8230; Press the green, oval &#8216;play&#8217; button with the white triangle on it to get started:<br />

Subject: Life story + thank you email <img src='http://legbutthipthighexercises.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
From: Alexandra P&#8230; &#8220;ap&#8230;.@&#8212;&#8212;-.com&#8221;<br />
Date: Wed, November 03, 2010 2:07 am<br />
To: &#8220;Joey @ JoeyAtlas . com&#8221;</p>
<p>Hi Joey,</p>
<p>I don’t usually write these emails, and I’m not sure if you’ll read this, but here I go anyways!</p>
<p>My name is Alex and I’m 18 years old. Anyways, I played competitive volleyball almost all through high school, so I was extremely in shape! (I’m talking training 3 times a week for beach volleyball and another 2 times for indoor) About 18 months ago, at the beginning of my senior year, I knocked back a position on the state volleyball team to concentrate on school&#8230;</p>
<p>After knocking back the position, the amount of volleyball I was playing started to drop off, I was doing less and less exercise and after about 6 months, it started to show.</p>
<p>Not to anyone else, as I was still a lot skinnier than a lot of my friends and I always got told to shut up when I complained. But for me, it just wasn’t good enough that I was starting to get flabby as opposed to my tightly toned body I’ve been used to.</p>
<p>But, I’m naturally extremely lazy and though I’d complain, I’d never actually do anything about it. So before I knew it, I went from a size 8 to a size 10 (Australian sizes) and trying to convince myself it wasn’t ‘that bad’&#8230;</p>
<p>Which brings me to this year, where I’m in the most unfit shape I’ve ever been in my life&#8230;</p>
<p>Yes, I know I’m only 18 and have no life experience etc as my Dad would say. But being just ‘okay’ at anything has never sat right with me, especially when I KNOW I can do better.</p>
<p>So at the beginning of the year before I started working full time, I went and got myself a gym membership. I went 5 times a week for 3 months, I was feeling great, I had a lot more energy, but the changes I were seeing just wasn’t what I wanted, then I got sick and never really got back into it, only going once a week now if I’m lucky.</p>
<p>I also don’t watch what I eat one tiny bit, even though I really should. In the last year, I’ve seen my step mum gain 20 kgs because her age and not looking after herself was catching up to her&#8230;</p>
<p>Which brings me to my main motivation for finally getting my act together and deciding to do something, even though my body is OKAY now, <strong>what’s going to happen in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?</strong></p>
<p>I DO NOT want to get fat&#8230;</p>
<p>So bored at work, I was having a bit of a google and I came across your site. I was extremely skeptical at first, but I really enjoyed reading your stuff because it was clear that you cared and weren’t spewing bullshit!</p>
<p>So I bit the bullet and bought the DVD’s, hoping to prove everyone wrong who said I’d been pulled into some marketing scam…</p>
<p>All I can say is WOW.</p>
<p>I’m finding muscles I never even knew I had!</p>
<p>I’ve done countless amounts of different exercises over my time playing competitive volleyball, and nothing has ever burned like your exercises. (Besides maybe wall sits!) It was GREAT!</p>
<p>The day after I did the workout for the first time, I had a lactic acid build up that I hadn’t had in so long, and it felt good! Same with the day after the 2nd workout. I LOVE getting that lactic acid build up feeling, makes me feel like I’ve done something.</p>
<p>But then I did a silly thing and fell asleep at the beach with no sunscreen on…. 4 days later brings us to yesterday where it had finally gone down enough that I could move. So I did your workout for the 3rd time and once again, wow!</p>
<p>I also feel like I’m building my core strength back up, which is AMAZING! Something I never thought I’d get back without going back into hard out volleyball training again!</p>
<p>I read every newsletter you send, and I love the success stories so much!! So life story put aside, I’m writing to tell you that I feel so fortunate I’ve found you at such a young age, so I don’t let my body slip into complete fatness and spend forever fighting to get it back!</p>
<p>I can’t wait for my body to be back to where I know it can be! Indirectly, you’ve also motivated me to pick up volleyball again, I really miss an active lifestyle. So as soon as I finish writing this, I’m going to Facebook the girls and see who’s keen!!!</p>
<p>I hope more girls my age stumble across your site, because I truly believe that starting now is going to be so much better for my health and well being in the long run!</p>
<p>So thank you so much Joey!!</p>
<p>&#8212; Alex</p>
<p>PS- One of my favourite parts of your DVD is the fact that there is NO ANNOYING MUSIC! Can’t stand that gimmicky crap!
</p></blockquote>
<p>Firsthand accounts of common &#8220;ups &#038; downs&#8221; make success more realistic to other, &#8216;everyday&#8217; people. They PROVE it can be done &#8211; and this inspires others into action&#8230; it happens every day.</p>
<p>I hope you&#8217;ve found something of value in this story. If so please share it with others and feel free to leave your comments or thoughts below&#8230;</p>
<p>Your trainer forever &#8211; your trainer for life,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve been following me for any amount of time &#8211; then you know I&#8217;m a big &#8211; no, make that MASSIVE, advocate of bodyweight fitness training.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve only &#8216;found me&#8217; recently &#8211; then I&#8217;ll make it clear here: The conventional approach to getting in shape via weights and machines &#8220;in the gym&#8221; is no match for a properly designed bodyweight training program. Doesn&#8217;t matter if we&#8217;re talking about pure beginners or ultra-advanced fitness enthusiasts&#8230;</p>
<p>Now &#8211; don&#8217;t get me wrong, there is a place for some weights. Dumbbells are an excellent tool, when used properly to supplement a well-designed bodyweight workout program.</p>
<p>As you read this &#8211; it should help for you to know you are hearing this from someone who has learned of this difference through deep experience &#8211; both of myself and countless clients I&#8217;ve worked with over the past 21 years.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be writing more about this in the near future &#8211; but for now I want to share a detailed success story email which boldly highlights the point I&#8217;m making in this post. Here it is&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Original Message &#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
Subject: Greetings<br />
From: &#8220;Nina Peers&#8221; -el-ninap-01@________.ca-<br />
Date: Thu, August 05, 2010 9:04 am<br />
To: &#8220;Your Trainer: Joey Atlas&#8221; -joey @ joeyatlas . com-</p>
<p>Dear Joey:</p>
<p>I have been meaning to write for a while but have been busy with life. I must give credit where credit is due. I bought your lower body dvd set a while ago, I think 2 or 3 months ago. Anyways I wrote you once to tell you that I could feel the results of your workouts and was seeing some results.</p>
<p>What I now want to tell you is that I am amazed at your work outs in the dvds and how it has changed the shape of my legs and thighs.</p>
<p>I am starting to get legs that I have always wanted.</p>
<p>I have worked out with weights for years and got some results but never like I have now. I was never happy with my thighs and worked hard on them with weight training, only to get discouraged at the hard work and quite frankly get sick of all the effort.</p>
<p>I stopped going to the gym for a few years and wanted to get back into shape, so I persevered back into the weights at the gym, started jogging and was hoping for the best. Around the same time, I found your dvds on line and ordered them, I wanted to believe you but was skeptical.</p>
<p>The first work out was incredible, I was so sore for just plain exercises with no weights, and I am thinking what is going on here? I kept on doing the exercises 3 days a week and jogged and **stopped using weights.** Incredible, in fact the other day I decided to jog and just do weights, thinking I had better take it easy because I hadn&#8217;t done them for a while and was waiting for the sore legs &#8211; but NOTHING, not impressed!</p>
<p>The next time I went to the gym I jogged and did your exercises from your dvds. My legs were weak when I finished the exercises and they were sore the next day. I KNOW they work and am so happy with the results.</p>
<p>No weights, just specific exercises and I am getting the results I&#8217;ve always wanted but never got when I was working out with weights.</p>
<p>Thank you Joey for the awesome dvds and everything else that you put into it!!</p>
<p>I am a true believer!!<br />
God bless<br />
Nina &#8211; Powell River, B.C. Canada.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s an awesome email &#8211; Don&#8217;t you agree??</p>
<p>Listen &#8211; I&#8217;m not saying people don&#8217;t/can&#8217;t get into shape with the typical &#8220;gym approach&#8221; &#8211; because many (not all) people who push themselves hard and long enough will get in shape. But that comes with a downside: injuries, schedule conflicts, unrealistic time demands, life situations which prevent the &#8220;gym commitment&#8221;, and the list goes on&#8230;.</p>
<p>BUT, when you free yourself from the shackles of a typical fitness center, by going with bodyweight fitness training &#8211; you remove SO MANY potential obstacles, making your lifelong commitment a million times easier to stick with.</p>
<p>More to come soon&#8230;</p>
<p>Your trainer forever &#8211; your trainer for life,</p>
<p><strong>&#8211; Joey Atlas</strong></p>

Yoga is big business. VERY big&#8230; But there is an inherent problem with this.</p>
<p>See, just like in the personal training field &#8211; there are many “certification courses” creating new and inexperienced yoga instructors every single week, all over the world. Now &#8211; this isn’t a problem if the instructor is matched up with appropriate student and is skilled in their teachings.</p>
<p>But &#8211; quite often that is not the case. Don’t get me wrong though &#8211; as there are many top-notch yoga instructors in literally every city and town around the globe. The challenge is finding the right “match” &#8211; just like when seeking out a personal trainer.</p>
<p>If you are in Jacksonville, Florida and want a great yoga instructor, get in touch with my friend <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jacksonville-FL/Yoga-To-Go/113812792507?ref=ts">Cari March @ Yoga to Go</a><br />
If you are in the Orlando, Florida area go meet with Russ and Kim @ <a href="http://www.studionewellness.com">http://www.studionewellness.com</a></p>
<p>I realize you may be thinking&#8230;</p>
<h3><strong>“What does Joey know about Yoga?”</strong></h3>
<p> &#8230;and here’s the answer&#8230;</p>
<p>If you’ve been using my any of my home and travel fitness dvds &#8211; you may have noticed some exercises or stretches resemble a yoga pose, move or position&#8230; And this would be correct as most of my programs are a ‘fusion’ of exercises and workout methods. But &#8211; by no means am I calling myself a yoga instructor.</p>
<p>Having been in this fitness industry for over 22 years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting some of the best people in various areas of fitness &#8211; two of them are listed above. I have another longtime yoga friend who is on more of a global stage though&#8230;</p>
<p>More on him later as I want to answer the original question of this post&#8230;</p>
<h3><strong>“Are there really any benefits of yoga?”</strong></h3>
<p>The answer is “Definitely” (stress reduction, toning, health enhancement, sexual performance improvement, etc&#8230;) &#8230;BUT &#8211; since there are so many types of yoga &#8211; and so many instructors out there &#8211; It’s up to you to define your needs and then seek out the proper style/instructor which best suits your current abilities and long term goals.</p>

Excerpted from <a href="http://tinyurl.com/atlastrackcellulite"><u>The Truth About Cellulite Video</u></a></p>
<h3>Anti-Cellulite Exercises for Toning, Sculpting and Firming the Lower-Body</h3>
<p>Bodyweight exercises can help the average woman achieve specific lower body goals. Some examples are:</p>
<p><strong>1 &#8211; Anti Cellulite Exercises</strong> for cellulite reduction or to <a href="http://tinyurl.com/atlastrackcellulite"><u>get rid of cellulite</u></a><br />
<strong>2 &#8211; Toning Exercises</strong> for toning and lifting saggy/droopy muscles<br />
<strong>3 &#8211; Sculpting Exercises</strong> for shaping specific lower body areas<br />
<strong>4 &#8211; Firming Exercises</strong> for tightening up mushy muscles and skin</p>
<p>In this lower body exercise video, I guide you through a combo sequence of four body-weight exercises which target the legs, glutes (butt) and thighs. These will also get the mid and lower back working as well. This mini-workout can be done as a stand alone exercise routine &#8211; or you can combine it with the other free lower body exercises on this website &#8211; or in my complete, home and travel exercise programs for purchase (e-manuals,dvds, etc&#8230;)</p>
<p><center><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a4UaIBXajBg&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6&#038;border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a4UaIBXajBg&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6&#038;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object></center><br />
-<br />
This body-weight exercise sequence includes the four following lower-body moves:</p>
<p><strong>1 &#8211; Double Leg, Hamstring Curls</strong></p>
<p>Lying down on a mat or soft surface, facing up &#8211; place your heels and calves on top of an exercise ball (55cm or 65cm is ideal). Arms on the ground at your sides. Lift your hips off the ground by pushing your heels and calves into the ball. That is your starting position. Then curl your heels in toward your hamstrings, while pushing your hips toward the sky. Stop when the bottom of your feet are on top of the ball. Then slowly return the the starting position.</p>
<p><strong>2 &#8211; Double Leg, Knee-Ups</strong></p>
<p>Get onto your hands and knees &#8211; on an exercise mat or soft surface. Bring your toes forward. Then slowly lift your knees off the ground and get your glutes up toward the sky &#8211; so your legs are almost fully straightened. Then slowly return to the start position &#8211; lightly touching your knees to the ground.</p>
<p><strong>3 &#8211; Double Sided Hip-Extensions</strong></p>
<p>Lying down face-up now. Bend your knees and point your toes upward &#8211; so your heels are the only part of your feet touching the floor or mat. Push your heels into the ground and lift your hips toward the sky. Give a slight pause at the top. Then slowly lower your hips to touch the mat. Breath out on the way up (as you exert) and breath in on the way down (as you relax).</p>
<p><strong>4 &#8211; Exercise Ball Squats</strong></p>
<p>Place an exercise ball (size 55cm &#8211; 65cm) against a wall and then lean against it with your lower back area. With your feet shoulder width apart &#8211; slowly squat down as the ball rolls up toward your upper back/shoulder blade area. Pause for a second or two &#8211; then slowly return to the top position, keeping a slight bend in the knees at the top. Breath in going down &#8211; breath out going up.</p>
<p>If going through this body-weight exercise circuit is too easy &#8211; try it a second and third time.  You can also add 5 or 10 repetitions to each set for a longer exercise sessions and a more intense challenge.</p>
<p>As always &#8211; I remind you to get your doctor&#8217;s medical clearance for exercise before starting from scratch &#8211; or if you are unsure about your own physical ability.</p>
<p>After you&#8217;ve tried the workout &#8211; please post your feedback and comments below &#8211; and then, please do share this with anyone else you know who can benefit from this kind of helpful fitness information.<br />

<p>This Slim In 6 Review is entirely based on feedback from clients I&#8217;ve worked with over the past 5 years &#8211; and information from the Slim in 6 website.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll cut right to the chase here&#8230; Some women have told me they got the body enhancing results they wanted &#8211; and others told me they have not.</p>
<p>This doesn&#8217;t surprise me &#8211; as this is pretty typical. That being said &#8211; I can assure you this&#8230; knowing of Debbie Sieber&#8217;s personal story &#8211; and professional history &#8211; I&#8217;m willing to bet the program is a well rounded &#8211; properly targeted routine.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also safe to say &#8211; the big bosses at Product Partners (the parent company of BeachBody; which markets the Slim In 6 program &#8211; along with several others) don&#8217;t seem like the kind of business people to risk their reputation on trashy fitness products. So, there is surely a level of quality and integrity that has gone into the program.</p>
<p>Is every woman who buys the program thrilled with it? No &#8211; you can never make everyone happy. It simply goes with the territory&#8230; This is the same thing with my programs &#8211; There will always be some people who can&#8217;t be satisfied.</p>
<h3>So &#8211; what do you get with the Slim In 6 package?</h3>
<p><strong>1</strong> &#8211; A main DVD with 3 programs on it.</p>
<p><strong>2</strong> &#8211; Several tracking tools.</p>
<p><strong>3</strong> &#8211; 2 bonus DVDs</p>
<p><strong>4</strong> &#8211; A 6-Day diet plan</p>
<p><strong>5</strong> &#8211; A resistance band</p>
<p>The program comes with a 6-week money back guarantee &#8211; for a price of $72.80 (includes s &#038; h)</p>
<p>So &#8211; Is it worth it?</p>
<p>There&#8217;s only one way for you to find out. Buy it &#8211; go all out with it for 5 weeks &#8211; and if you are not happy with the program in that short period of time &#8211; Return the package for your refund.</p>
<p>I was never crazy about any fitness or weight loss product with a short money-back guarantee policy. This is the main reason I always offer a One-Year &#8216;Sexy Results&#8217; Guarantee period on all my DVDs&#8230;</p>
<p>In the real world &#8211; 5 or 6 weeks simply isn&#8217;t enough to really test out any program. And before you know it &#8211; the time has gone by &#8211; and you can&#8217;t get a refund after you&#8217;ve had a chance to be on the program for a decent amout of time, which usually goes beyond 6 weeks&#8230;</p>
<p>And &#8211; in addition to that &#8211; my laser targeted &#8211; 2-DVD set called &#8216;The Ultimate Leg, Butt, Hip &#038; Thigh Makeover&#8217; can be shipped straight to your doorstep &#8211; no matter which country you live in for only $39.97 plus shipping. And yes &#8211; you have a full 12 months to see incredibly stunning results, right in the privacy of your own home &#8211; or you just send me back the dvds and get your money back. </p>
<p>No questions asked. All I ask is that you send me your incredible success story, by email, one you are satisfied with the dramatic improvements of your body.</p>

<h3>Fat Loss Secrets: Siobhan&#8217;s Story of Miraculous Fat Loss</h3>
<p>&#8211; <strong><em>submitted by Siobhan Callaghan</em></strong></p>
<p>I was in absolute terrible condition for my age! After having my fourth child I was so busy about home life, taking care of the kids and everyone else &#8211; I just put myself last and let myself go.</p>
<p>My heaviest weight was 200lbs. I suffered from panic attacks low self esteem, constant headaches, fatigue and I had awful back ache, with falling arches in my feet as well.</p>
<p>Sadly, the only thing good was my cholesterol levels were fine!</p>
<p>I hate to admit it but emotionally I was crushed. I was always the high-spirited ‘’joker’’ of the group, the one who seemed to make others happy. I always knew people cared for me but they also (I feel), didn’t look up to me or I suppose maybe even didn’t respect me.</p>
<p><center><div id="attachment_108" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 204px"><img src="http://legbutthipthighexercises.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/siobhan-before-4.jpg" alt="Siobhan at 200lbs, Before Weight Loss" title="siobhan-before-4" width="194" height="396" class="size-full wp-image-108" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Siobhan at 200lbs, Before Weight Loss</p></div></center></p>
<p>I hated shopping because I could never find anything that would fit me properly and I always hated any special occasions that I would have to dress up for because I could only wear clothes that were made for women in their 50’s!</p>
<p>There were always tears to be shed&#8230;</p>
<p>But at the end of last April I went out on a friends birthday party with a bunch of girls and got the kick in the butt that I needed!</p>

<h3><em>There I was among other women my age, who had children too, and well&#8230; embarrassingly I WAS the biggest girl there and the most dootsy dressed. The only thing I could think of that night was why and how have I done this to myself??</em></h3>
<p><center><div id="attachment_116" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 174px"><img src="http://legbutthipthighexercises.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/siobhan-before-2.jpg" alt="Siobhan at 200lbs, Before Weight Loss" title="siobhan-before-2" width="164" height="353" class="size-full wp-image-116" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Siobhan at 200lbs, Before Weight Loss</p></div></center></p>
<p>I thought that I too deserve to look and feel good, feel confident and sexy and most important to be and look as young as I was…. I was just going to have take the time for myself which I never did before, realizing that it wasn’t or wouldn’t be selfish for me to it. I would only be selfish by continuing to let myself get so far out of shape and unhealthy.</p>
<p>There was only me that made the mistake and only me that could fix it now.</p>
<p>The first thing I did was a simple, yet focused, week of healthy, controlled eating. I have to say it did help get rid of all the sugar and salt cravings. When the week was over I was stronger inside and more determined and I knew that this was something I really wanted to do, to take control.</p>
<p>I didn’t join any weight watcher clubs, I just stuck to fruit and veggies and chicken and started to buy wholegrain bread and pasta/rice and I bought myself a skipping rope! I was fairly new to the internet (and still am!) and just started to Google anything and everything to do with losing  weight or exercises.</p>
<p>As my hips were the biggest part of me I Googled hip &#038; bum exercises and that’s when I first came across my life support!&#8211;JOEY ATLAS!</p>
<p><center><div id="attachment_117" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 224px"><img src="http://legbutthipthighexercises.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/siobhan-after-1.jpg" alt="Siobhan at 125lbs, After Fat Loss" title="siobhan-after-1" width="214" height="553" class="size-full wp-image-117" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Siobhan at 125lbs, After Fat Loss</p></div></center></p>
<p>There it was&#8230; a free download sample of exercises &#8211; and I signed up for his free e-newsletter which educated me and I just knew this man was talking sense and in plain old fashioned English with no big health or fitness words that I didn’t understand.</p>
<p>The best thing was, after doing my jump rope I always did the free exercises from Joey and you know, I could see results which made me want more. I was hooked &#8211; and Joey earned my trust.</p>
<p>I was so delighted to order his program &#8211; I knew it was just meant for me! I was like a kid waiting on Santa after that!</p>
<p>When I did my first session well what can I say I couldn’t do it.. that’s how unfit I was&#8230;</p>
<p>My whole body was shaking and nerves twitching everywhere that I could only do maybe 4 or 5 repetitions on each exercise! And as for the next day well it hurt (in a good way) and the day after that, too! I knew this would be the thing that worked for me. Even though it was a challenging start.</p>
<p><center><div id="attachment_118" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 233px"><img src="http://legbutthipthighexercises.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/siobhan-before-3.jpg" alt="Siobhan at 200lbs, Before Weight Loss" title="siobhan-before-3" width="223" height="538" class="size-full wp-image-118" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Siobhan at 200lbs, Before Weight Loss</p></div></center></p>
<p>But as Joey told me on the DVD to &#8220;do what you can and that it will get easier&#8221;, well those words of encouragement really persuaded me to stick with it and of course he was right..it did get easier and I did do more and I got results!</p>
<p>Joeys plan is very easy to stick to and all the exercises can be done almost anywhere and as a busy mum of 4 kids, I didn’t have to leave the house to see to myself and get my workouts in!</p>
<p>More importantly I had no expensive equipment to buy which was an added bonus. The DVDs are very easy to follow, Joey makes you feel that he’s right there with you step by step and with a &#8216;no music&#8217; background, I found it much easier to stay focused, get into the exercises and I suppose, get them right.</p>

<p>My current weight is now 125lbs and I’m wearing a dress size (UK) 8/10. I had a wedding about a month ago and bought a USA dress size 4! WooHoo!!</p>
<p>I hadn’t wore a dress since my wedding dress nearly ten years ago and I went from white to black! that’s the dress in my after pics which I did pose for because now I can!! LOL!</p>
<p>Beforehand I always hid behind people in pics which now I wish I didn’t because I would have had great before pics! But nonetheless &#8211; you can still see how bad I was.</p>
<p>Its great; now I can almost buy anything I want to wear as long as its not too pricey and not too bare cos even though I’m &#8220;half the woman I used to be&#8221;, I am so used at covering up myself  but I’ll get over that hurdle too!</p>
<p>I want to do more now, get in better shape &#038; go out shopping more! I feel renewed!!</p>
<p>My physical and emotional energy levels are much better now and I’m always up for new challenges and fun things!</p>
<p>I feel that my personal success has made me stronger as a wife, mom and friend &#8211; and I have far more confidence in what I can do, not just emotionally but physically.</p>
<p>I have learned that it is important to start to love and and take care of myself and not just others, I need to be confident to make my kids confident, I need to be aware to make my kids aware, I need to be active to make my kids active, I need to be motivated to make my kids motivated and I need to care about myself to make my kids care about themselves, I am trying to educate them that it is important to be fit and healthy and that it can be very fun doing it!</p>
<p>The feed back from others is  mostly good. A lot of people don’t recognize me anymore which can be funny! Then you get some saying ah you’ve done enough now you look brilliant so Stop!</p>
<p>It can be hard for some to understand that I actually enjoy eating healthy and exercising, that its not &#8220;just to keep the the weight off&#8221; for superficial reaons, I just need it for my emotional stability!! I want it for my longevity and&#8230; &#8216;cos I enjoy it!!! that’s all!!</p>
<p>I was asked &#8220;was I taking anything&#8221; which actually insulted me and I thought well if that’s what a close friend thinks then what does everyone else think! So it knocked me back but again I pushed forward! I’ve learned that people can be jealous of others success and I had it mentioned to me a few times.</p>
<p>I also have learned that people can be inspired by others success and so encourages them to follow suit!</p>
<p>I feel in control of my life and health now, I know where the grass is greener! I wont let myself go like I did for so long, I don’t think I’ve ever been happier!</p>
<p>Now I always try to start my day off and get up an hour earlier than the kids to do my ulbhtm DVD, and like Joey advises, if you want your morning coffee then have it!</p>
<p>Joey has the best &#8217;secret seven&#8217; snack foods ever, and people who come in to my house and see the (natural) peanut butter jar look at me funny and say you ate that and lost weight??!! (Good job the don’t see my dark chocolate!!)</p>
<p>I make good, healthy food choices, and if I get even ten mins free I do a little cardio like skipping rope to up the metabolism and to boost my energy levels. I usually go for a 4 mile brisk walk weather permitting! And if I don’t get the time during the day to do my ulbhtm DVDs, I leave it till I get the kids to bed and do it then..</p>
<p>I feel that I’m now more the person on the outside that I have been on the inside for so long.. So I feel I’m freed from the suit or &#8217;shield of armour&#8217; and instead put the armour into my mind so that I’m stronger person now.</p>
<p>For all the women, and men, who feel they&#8217;ve let themselves down or are prisoner in their bodies, well&#8230; you&#8217;re not.. that’s all in your mind.</p>
<p>Take control of yourself, love yourself and your body.. &#8216;Cos if you don’t, who will??</p>
<p>Start by saying to yourself &#8220;I am in control of who I am and I am going to be happy.. I deserve to be happy..&#8221;</p>
<p>And when you control the thoughts in your mind you will control what you do with your body&#8230; what you feed it, how you use it, and you will come to realize that the effort is worth it and more importantly it is fun!</p>
<p>And if you have a bad day today, then don’t tell yourself &#8216;you’ve failed&#8217; or that you can&#8217;t do it. Don’t give up hope, because every minute that lies ahead waiting for us is always a new one that we can start from, again.</p>
<p>The only way to encourage change is to think like a baby; you have got to be able to balance on your feet before you take your first steps and then you must learn to walk before you run and everyone stumbles and falls, but rise again and soon you will be fast on your feet…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s no secret to me that there are many skeptics when it comes to body-enhancement methods for women. I understand that so many people get &#8216;burned&#8217; by empty promises and blatant lies &#8211; So it goes without saying that I am always prepared to be carefully scrutinized by even the sharpest of eyes and minds&#8230;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s ok, because I know my stuff and its my responsibility to get it into the hands of the people who need it the most. People like YOU&#8230;</p>
<p>So when I&#8217;m confronted by a bold, impartial, journalist who is interested in seeking the truth &#8211; I&#8217;m quite open, honest and cooperative in allowing him or her to &#8216;put my methods to the test&#8217; and even share their results with the public at large&#8230;</p>
<p>Yes &#8211; I&#8217;m that confident and comfortable with my unique &#8216;methods&#8217; being put under a microscope and &#8216;tested for the real world&#8217;&#8230;</p>
<p>I was recently contacted by a reporter for the The Arizona Republic Newspaper &#8211; Kristin Davis &#8211; and asked if I would give approval for her to put my programs to the test and publicize her progress and opinion.</p>
<p>I said &#8220;Absolutely!&#8221;</p>
<p>Now &#8211; you must keep in mind, Kristin is also a chat leader for the Republic&#8217;s Arizona &#8220;Moms Like Me&#8221; web site &#8211; AND she&#8217;s a key contributor to the EmpowHer(TM) website and community.</p>
<p>Talk about putting myself on the line??!!</p>
<p>Well &#8211; some time has passed and I thought it would be great to share what Kristin is doing and how her results will inspire you.</p>
<p>Here are her direct updates &#8211; [IMPORTANT] After you read her posts be sure to read the &#8216;Comments&#8217; section *at the bottom* of both posts that is where the real juicy stuff is revealed, truly amazing&#8230; In the 2 &#8216;Comments&#8217; sections she is asked very specific questions by other women&#8230;</p>
