Marilyn W.

Hi, my name is Marilyn, I am 47, married, have two sons and live in Spring, Texas. I have always been an active person, I work as a dental assistant, so I'm on my feet a lot, and I play tennis three times a week. I grew up as a skinny child, but started gaining weight in my 20's, which I have battled ever since. I have tried numerous diets and different exercise programs, with some success. Then a friend of mine, who has a similar body type started looking really good. When I asked what she was doing, she told me about T-Tapp. I bought the tapes and noticed results immediately. Unfortunately I didn't stick with it and I continued to slowly put on weight. Then I got your email about a "60-Day Challenge", starting soon. I was ready to start over and stick with it this time.

I did the T-Tapp Tempo Beginner for a couple of weeks before the contest, but not every day. Then I did Tempo Intermediate, starting with the two week boot camp and then every two or three days until the end of the contest. I didn't always feel like doing the workout, and sometimes I'd be tired and would wobble more than usual, but I ALWAYS felt proud of myself for doing it. At first I wouldn't look at myself in the mirror while I worked out, but after my body started to slim down then I used the mirror to watch my form, but also because I liked seeing the results and it encouraged me to try harder.

At the beginning of the contest, I put on a few pounds, but my stomach was shrinking, so I didn't worry about. I cut back a little bit on food, but wouldn't say I really dieted, just made some better choices. Slowly I lost eight pounds and thankfully about 18 inches. Most of my inch loss was in my waist and abdomen, but now I'm starting to notice improvement in my trouble areas (hips and thighs). Friends and family are starting to notice too, and it feels great.

Thanks to the T-Tapp workout, I know I can continue to lose inches and feel better with a program that fits into my life nicely. It would be great to win this contest, but I really feel like a winner already. Thank you Teresa.
