I lost 6 lbs and 13.5
inches total in two weeks. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!! My clothes are fitting very
well and I fit into a couple of things I didn't before. I think I've lost a
whole size. I'm much more mobile and flexible and don't have any aches in my
back or legs. I have a much better outlook on life and find my mental health to
have gotten a real lift. I'm standing much straighter again and can feel the
muscle that I have gained as I move about my day. My skin is clearer and my
digestion has improved. My circulation is much better also and I don't feel so
toxic!

I havent been as
diligent in working out as I would like, in the two weeks that the contest has
been going on I have only worked out 5 times. However, I will say that with
only 5 workouts under my belt I have noticed changes and not just in the
numbers above.
Some of the changes I
have noticed:
Better posture, not
perfect but better
Less tension in my neck
I fall asleep faster
My clothes fit a little
better
My body looks firmer
Ive also noticed that as
I learn the moves they become easier but then you start to really focus on your
form and it takes the work out to a whole new level.
Im really looking
forward to measuring at the end and the results so far are helping me to better
prioritize my evenings; I can watch TV/relax or work out and be healthy/feel
great.

If I did my calculations
right, I've had a total inch loss of 10 3/4!
The first week and a half I had a little more energy, but I was really
nauseous. I thought it was the flu or something, but after reading the
forums I quickly learned that it was just my body detoxifying. I must
have had a lot of toxins! But that soon disappeared and I've since had an
increase of energy! I really am starting to feel great!

Well I feel
pretty rootin tootin good! It amazes me what a half an inch here and a
quarter of an inch there does to a body to really show inch/size loss. My
size 12 pants I bought at Christmas (and were tight from my holiday indulgence)
are now becoming very lose (i.e. it's belt time!) I also decided to buy
some new pants and went for the size 10 instead of 12 (and yup they fit!)
I also have
been noticing my coordination improving. My biggest example of this is my
drumming. Before I stumbled, fumbled, and bumbled through playing (i
couldn't get the left hand, right hand coordination going.) I'm going to
a drumming circle next month so began practicing again...and guess what...I
have coordination! I'm amazed how I can do the drumming with both hands
so naturally. It almost doesn't seem real...lol! I have to admit I
thought the "right brain/left brain" T-Tapp principle was a buncha
hype. T-Tapp has done it again...proved me wrong and in the process
giving me something that I can use!

How do I feel? Fantastic!
WOW- I really am so shocked- 5.75 inches in two weeks. Although I have been
dedicated to tapping - started with a 4-day boot camp of Tempo and then went to
an EOD routine. I have not been really eating all that great. I think that is
the most shocking thing because you do not expect to see results because you
have not been "dieting" but your body is getting stronger and
becoming more efficient. Now I am sweating like crazy. To think when I first
started tapping a couple of months ago, I thought was easy and never got to a
dripping state .I have noticed the other day that I can sit crisscross on the
floor with out my hip ball-joint hurting- I think it was out of alignment due
to holding babies. My feet do not hurt so much when I get up in the morning
from plantar fasciitis. I am also short torso with weak knees, lower back and
poochie belly issues. At 35 my knees crack when I go up and down the stairs.
However my knees feel like they are getting stronger and when I climb stairs
now I always think KLT and this seems to diminish the cracking. So far so good-
this surprising inches loss in just two weeks is enough to keep me tapping-
can't wait to see where I am at the end of the contest!

I am unemployed, and
single not an easy combination. The job market before Xmas was tough. I have
to say that I found doing T-Tapp has really help to relieve my stress level. I
have found that I am not waking up 2 or 3 times during the night. And doing
the workout consistently seems to have helped me to be more positive about
finding the perfect job. I was at the mall on Sunday, and a man stopped me and
said that I had great posture (hopefully this wasn't just his lame pick-up
line) I really feel like I am walking a little taller. And I have more guys
asking me out too. (Bonus) This program works on all areas in your life! I am
feeling less tight between my shoulder blades, and I and I can see results in
my balance (I have many ear surgeries) and I have had a problem with balance
for years. My shirts aren't as tight.

During the first two
weeks of the T-Tapp contest I noticed an increase in energy, flexibility,
and stamina. I do not wake with the pain in my back and neck that I did 3
weeks ago. I have done T-Tapp in the past but not as strict as
I am now. I can not believe how much my body has been changing
and how nice I look in my clothes already!!! It is amazing what
small form tips can do to improve your workout.
I LOVE T-Tapp because it
is NOT a bunch of jumping around and uncontrolled movements. I have never
done well with aerobics because I am NOT coordinated and my back, knee, and
neck problems would just not allow it. With T-Tapp everything is very
isolated and controlled!!! I find it so easy to do and I really look
forward to my workout rather than dreading it!!

My back feels more
aligned; I had some of a backache from holiday stress and excess. I have to
tote all groceries home, don't have a car, so all shopping is done on the way
home from work and I have to carry several bags in the process.
I have not changed my diet except I am trying to make sure I get enough fiber,
so whole grains, fruit and veggies are on the menu. I have gained about a pound
and a half since 1/4/05.
I have uterine fibroids and they seem to be acting up after my monthly period,
it was noticeable in December and much worse in January. After 4 days of Basic+
the cramping subsided, I hope that trend continues. I have an appointment with
my physician to deal with this. I also have to watch the fiber because
constipation can be an issue. I am 48 years old and I am sure hormonal shifts
have something to do with it.
So far I have been doing Basic Plus only, for a 14-day boot camp. I only did
Step Away the Inches once. I plan on alternating Basic Plus one day and Step
Away the Inches the next. I have done boot camps before, but it is hard for me
to do every other day, I usually forget. I like just doing Basic Plus and I
don't have an excuse not to do it, makes me feel good, it's short and it's
never too late to do it. I usually do right before bed, 10:30 or later. Since I
lost 5.25 inches in two weeks, I can see it works even though I gained weight!
I'll be happy to add in Step Away the Inches every other day.

I am afraid I have not
done so well. First of all, I was not able to T-Tapp because of my toe (I
really do think I broke it now since it still is not healed). I have done the
BWO+ about 5 times total and on my measurements I lost:
L Upper Arm Lost 1/2
inch
Hips Lost 2 inches
and all the rest stayed
the same.
Hopefully by the end of the
week my toe will be well enough it does not kill me when I try to do the
workout. I figure then when I get fantastic results it even shows more how
effective it is!! :-)

I did a 10-day boot camp
of Basic Rehab, then every other day. What I've noticed is that, while I
haven't lost a lot in inches, I've become more cut and toned. My body seems to
be evening out and getting more symmetrical. I can button my pants and skirts
easily (before they were tight). There's definition in my arms and upper
stomach area now, where before there was none. I'm noticing that I can stand up
straighter with better posture. I seem to have more of a jaw line now, also.
My hot flashes have stopped - I just feel better all around. When I do hoedowns
and PBS during the mid-afternoon slump - my fatigue goes away. I'm really
enjoying this program.

Total loss after 2 weeks - 11.1 inches!!!
To be honest during the
past two weeks I didn't make good food choices, so the loss is due to the
total workout. I ended up getting really sick for about 5 days and I
missed 2 workouts (I was doing a 14 day bootcamp) and I still lost way more then
I expected. I had to add up the inch loss several times because I didn't
believe it even though my jeans are fitting a bit better. I feel really
good physically and emotionally. I know I am finally doing something that
is good for my body. I am telling anyone and everyone who will listen,
about T-Tapp. I have only lost .6 lb, but for the first time in my
life, I DON'T CARE!!

I also measured some
other areas that I did at Safety Harbor and have an additional 1 1/2 inch
loss.
I've been tapping since
Sept 2003. I have been a slow loser. In Oct 2004 I was able to
attend the Safety Harbor retreat. At that time I was at my lowest weight
and wearing a size 14 pants. Unfortunately after the retreat I suddenly
gained 15 pounds in 4 weeks without any explanation for the gain. Since
then I found that my thyroid had been off for over a year. This may
explain why I could not budge the scale in 1 1/2 years and slow inch loss. I
also realized that I was getting depressed due to this body
change. I have worked so hard to lose weight and get my body healthy
that this sudden change threw me into a depressive state of mind. I also
realize that thyroid problems have caused some of these emotions.
When the contest came up
I decided it was time to refocus on me. I just started a higher
level of synthroid about the time the contest started. For me I decided
my energy level was not too good so decided to focus on BWO+ and the walking
tapes. I did not start my tapping until Jan 6 by doing 5 days of
BWO+ and STEP AWAY THE INCHES. Day 6 I was unable to do this workout
so continued my boot camp for 4 more days. Although I planned to do a
14-day workout my body was just too tired. Walking was making my legs
ache. After the 9-day boot camp I stopped and measured two days later,
the results being above. So the above results are based only on 9 days of
tapping during the first two weeks.
During these workouts I
was not able to go straight through them. I had to stop several times to
stretch out the legs and rest. Although while tapping I do not feel very
energetic, I have noticed throughout the evening I have more energy and feel
better. I start my morning with PBS and brushing. Mornings where I
skip this I notice I'm just am not as awake and ready to start my day.
This really perks my body and mind each morning. I also notice that my
body does not feel bloated. I can tell by measuring my wrist each
morning. If my thumb and middle finger can wrap around my opposite wrist
I know my body is moving out toxins. My pants, which I had to buy new
larger sizes due to the weight and inch gains, feel so much
better. Even though the inch loss above may not show the difference I
know by feel that they are more lose and comfortable. When my legs move
within my pants legs without the material feeling stretched and tight against
my legs I know I'm losing the extra inches. Now that I have started EOD I
notice on the nights I do BWO+ that I sleep very sound. I may
wake up one time during the night but go back to sleep and sleep sound.
This has helped me also with the depression I was feeling about my body.
I am feeling more positive and happy and know that I must be patient with the
medicine to kick in and my body to respond. My emotions are coming under
control and my family is happier with these positive changes.
Sorry Kitty this is a
little long. Didn't know if you wanted a little background for the
publisher's to know a little about each person. Need to go do SITTM and
then relax for a "me" day. Took off work to regroup
myself. I know I can change this body and health but it is hard when you
go backwards after coming so far ahead. Never thought that after SH that
I would find myself in this situation.

I am very happy with my
2-week results! Especially with the waist results - lost 2 3/4 inches. WOW!
I lost 5 3/4 inches and I was
sick for about a week and wasn't able to do much workout at all during that
time. I didn't lose any weight, so I know I am building muscle.
I started out with a 4 day
bootcamp, on day 4 of my bootcamp is when I became sick with a head cold and
sinus problems, I went to every other day, and done two complete workouts, then
after that I was only able to do parts of the workout, like about 15 min. or
less. Because of being sick.
So in the past 2 weeks I
have really only been able to do 6 complete workouts, but I am so very pleased
with the results. I can only imagine if I had not become sick of how many more
inches I could have lost.
Also I am sleeping better, I
have had insomnia for years, and the past few nights I have actually been
sleeping better.
I am excited to see what
results the weeks ahead of me bring.

About 2 months ago I was
diagnosed with Auto-Immune Disorder after several months of feeling sluggish,
depressed, extremely tired and basically no zest for life (which also led to
not taking very good care of myself and significant weight gain). I was
miserable until now! I have had the TTAPP DVD's for about 2 months and did it here
and there, but I always felt so tired I would not drag myself to do it (I come
from psycho gym rat just under a year ago so I felt like if I didn't do 60
minutes at least "what is the point?"). When this challenge came
about I thought what the heck ~ I need the motivation and if I won that would
be very cool too. I was sure I was going to do the B/R category up until
literally the day to sign up. I thought you know what I am going to put TTAPP
to the test and only do BW+ for 60 days (hey it is better than what I had been
doing and I finally realized if I did the other category I would be setting
myself up for failure!). So, drum roll please~ here I am 2 weeks later and
down 12 inches. I have not stepped on the scale and don't plan to, but can definitely
tell my clothes are fitting better. I have really noticed my energy is
WAAAYYYYYY up there too. Before TTAPP (2 weeks ago) I could barely drag myself
out of bed at 6am now I have been getting up every morning at 5:30 to do my BW+
(most mornings I am up even before my alarm). I have not had the 3pm work
sluggishness at ALL and have had tons of energy at night too. This to me is
amazing in only 2 weeks ~ I absolutely cannot wait to see what 60 days brings.
The other great thing is it seems so easy to do the BW+ everyday because I
always have 15 min and now with the energy I have no EXCUSES! Thanks Theresa
and Thanks Kitty for doing such a wonderful job putting this together. What I
am experiencing beats a free trip to Tampa FL, but I sure do want to go to Safety Harbor (free or not) and meet the lady who is changing my life.

I know I feel
stronger, but I am worn out at the end of the 52mins 37secs. I've decided to
treat T-Tapp as part of my job. I only have to work one hour a day, but I have
to work every day.
I am a singer
and my appearance is part of my job. I am a 48yr old singer and there are way
too many great young singers with fantastic figures for me to ignore my lumpy
figure any longer.
The 2 CDs
I've released have done remarkably well, nearly 7000 sold, my goal is to
somehow break through the ceiling by hook or by crook and earn enough to buy a
home and help my three sons with college. Getting in shape can only
enhance the chances!

I noticed during the past
two weeks that my clothes started to fit differently. In some cases, tops were
looser or jackets met better in the middle.
Possibly there has been
some lifting in the depression I experience during the winter. Being in the
contest is a huge incentive for me to exercise at this time of year.

I've approached this contest
from the "slow and steady wins the race" perspective, which I have
also been applying to my eating with the Naturally thin principles since June
2004. For the first week, I focused on adding PBS and brushing twice a day back
into my schedule. This past week I continued brushing twice a day and added a
few (3) MORE workouts. Yesterday I started a 4-day MORE BC and will participate
in a form clinic with Lannette on Sunday, weather permitting.
I'm finding that on the
mornings when I do PBS, I need less coffee to help me wake up and I am warmer
outside in the cold (a definite plus here in NYC). My range of flexibility is
noticeably increasing and I have more energy. To my surprise & delight, my
pants are already fitting more loosely (yippee!).

I have had pitting edema
as a result of my high blood pressure (I take blood pressure medication &
did not want to start on diuretics) and the swelling has been very
bothersome. I think that the combination of taking alfalfa (6 tabs:
2tabs 3xa day), brushing, and T-tapping has increased my circulation. I
am amazed!!!

Please let Teresa know, I didn't want to add more mail to her box during such a
busy time.

I have done the BWO+ six
days a week for these two weeks. In the second week I began adding the
STEP AWAY THE INCHES program. I have to admit that I spend most of the
time "just stepping," but every day I'm getting better at adding the
arm movements, etc
My size 18 jeans are
starting to fit me comfortably again. I have noticed a decrease in the
pain in my lower back. I've also noticed a sense of more strength in my
legs as I've had to do some pretty heavy-duty tromping through the last big
snow we had (in order to feed our horses.)
Julyn (my 19 year old daughter who recently moved to Provo, UT and is living
with my older daughter, Melynda Fitt, came up over this past weekend and
coached me on some "points of perfection." I was amazed that I
had lost this kind of inches doing the moves as imperfect as I had been.
I'm truly amazed at how this program starts working, even with the humblest
effort. It really encourages a person to keep going and to trust that the
form will get better--and the results will keep coming.

I have lost a total of
two inches and have noticed more energy; I don't feel a need to take a nap in
the afternoon and at 52 years old and two teenage girls to keep up with that is
something! I look forward to getting out on my walks with my beagle in the
mornings even though it is below zero degrees the past couple of weeks, the air
is refreshing and the fast pace gets the heart and blood pumping, a great way
to get my day started. I have been doing the BWO+ daily except for
Sundays and either my walk for 30 minutes or STEP AWAY THE INCHES with the MORE
tape.

In the first two weeks of
the contest I have noticed changes in my body. Over Christmas I fell
off the T-Tapp wagon and was feeling sluggish, irritable and tired.
Now that I'm Tapping again my energy level has increased I sleep better and
somehow Tapping seems to regulate my hormones my PMS (irritability and
cramping are much less). My muscles are more cut and I've lost 4.5
inches overall! Today I put on one of my workout shirts that I
haven't worn in a while, when I last wore it made me look like a sausage all
packed in there now it's actually a little loose.
One thing I've noticed
with T-Tapp is that with the other exercise programs I've done I used to feel
tired after and drag myself through the day. With T-Tapp I find
that the days I do it in the morning I feel energized and ready to take on
the day. It's like a cup of coffee. With other programs I
would suffer from extreme muscle stiffness with T-Tapp I find my muscles feel
like they have been thoroughly worked out without the stiffness. I
guess this is due to Teresa's focus on lymphatic drainage. I love
the T-Tapp system because its the only one that addresses a full spectrum
of health concerns.

During the first week of T-Tapp my clothes are starting to get looser, my
energy is up, and I've been sleeping better. I even lost 2 pounds.
My husband even commented that he could tell some difference.
I did the 4-day boot-camp total workout and am now doing the exercises every
other day. The third day was a killer but I endured. I was ready to pull
Teresa through the TV especially when she says "hang-in there, I'm hanging
in there with you". I've found myself being more conscious of making
sure I keep my stomach and fanny tucked in even more.
Even though I feel like its torture, the benefits are starting to show little
by little.

I feel like I am getting smaller even before I took my measurements. Its
wonderful to feel good about myself again. I try to walk in KLT all day
and just walking properly makes me feel good about myself. I walk with
confidence and am actually smiling again at work. With T-Tapp I will once
again feel better and look better in time. But the best is how it makes
you feel.

The first week of the

This has really been only the last week! I feel like this contest is the

TOTAL LOSS - 13 inches and 5
pounds!!!!!
During the first 2 weeks of the T-Tapp contest I noticed an increase in
energy and less tendency towards depression, which had the added bonus of
helping me to lose weight since I no longer found myself binge eating. I
have a tendency to be an emotional eater, and even though I eat healthy meals,
I snack (or graze) constantly throughout the day when I'm "feeling out of
control" emotionally. However, I have noticed a more positive
attitude towards life and myself in general which may be physiological or
may just be the result of feeling better about myself because I'm doing
something good for myself.
Although I decided not to
make any New Year's Resolutions regarding diet and exercise this year, since
they've usually been forgotten by March, I did happen to realize that if I
could just cut out snacking and bingeing, I could probably lose considerable
weight, so I thought that 1 pound a week would be a reasonable goal to work
towards. By the end of the year, I would have dropped the extra 50
pounds I've been carrying around for the past few years. T-Tapp has
helped me to control my mood swings (and thus the uncontrolled grazing), as
well as burn off lots of extra calories.
In addition, I had been
having pain in my left arm that I think was due to ulnar neuritis, which
persisted for the past 6 months through yoga workouts and water aerobics.
I even stopped working out for a couple of weeks this past summer to see if it
would improve, but it persisted. However, I noticed after about 5 days of
T-Tapp, the ache and pain are no longer there.
Finally, let me mention
that I am a "prodigal tapper". I tapped about 4 years ago, and
looked better than I had in years ever though I was carrying additional weight,
and then because my schedule became increasingly hectic, I gave it up.
I've thought about getting back into it, since I know it works--however, until
I got news of the contest, I couldn't find the incentive to go through another
bootcamp. So thanks for providing the impetus---and many thanks to all of
the ladies who post to the forum---I've been "lurking" and have
received much encouragement to continue when my energy was lagging!

I started off this
Contest with a 14 day Tempo& Beginner/Rehab Bootcamp.
During the first few days I immediately noticed that I was not retaining as
much water in my legs. My sock line was no longer there! That was exciting to
me! I started to feel stronger and felt like I was tightening up. My posture is
definitely getting better. My suits started feeling looser. I Measured after 6
days, and was happy to see inch loss. Now that my Bootcamp
is complete, I have lost a total of 5.75 inches!

The last 2 weeks have
been very good for me. I have finally gotten back to doing my workout. I
noticed the amount of body pain has become less. My back hurts a lot less and
my knee pain is getting much better. My energy levels are slowly increasing.
I am having less of a problem keeping my body in alignment. I guess that goes
hand in hand with having less back pain. As for my measurements they have
been taken 2x but I have no desire to see them. I do know I have lost inches,
which is all I want to know. I got a new bra that lifts by bust and makes it
appear perkier. I expected my bust measurement to have gone up, but it
remained the same. If I had gotten measured wearing my old bra I probably
would have lost something there too. All I know is that I am going in the
right direction, DOWN.

Two weeks of tapping
what has changed? The mornings arent as bad as they used to be.
Im able to get up and be slightly motivated during the day. The whole
outlook on things is a little better, not so gloom and doom. Physically, I
know its working. My chronic problem areas are looking slightly better:
my chest is looking manlier. My stomach is slowly getting back to where
it should be
not hiding parts of my lower body. I know that tapping has
helped my back in the past. Suffering from a herniated disc and
degenerative disc disease, my days used to be filled with some amount of
pain. I almost feel back to normal. I can actually lift equipment
for my job again (with help from now on with the heavy stuff), since I can lift
way more than the 15 pounds I was stuck to before. In the past two weeks, I
have even gained the ability to do one full set of Oil Wells! Most
importantly, I can lift and hold my daughter until my arms give out
not my
back

I lost 4 1/2 inches total.
I feel super, I still
have some down days but overall I am getting up earlier, I have way more energy
and I am only sleeping about seven hours a night and no naps. My clothes are
fitting better, when I began the contest I was wearing size 22 pants, and now I
can squeeze into size 20. Life is soooooo good; I am becoming a new person
thanks to T-tapping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you again for your

inches to date. I am AMAZED!!!I haven't even started my boot camp yet; just
building up my muscles first and then will accomplish a 14-day boot camp. So
far my workouts have been every other day. I have also been brushing on a
daily basis, but mostly after my workouts. Workouts I've done to date are the
T-Tapp to tempo and the basic workout plus. Thats IT! I feel refreshed and my
muscles are toning up fast. The fat shift is happening and I am enjoying it so
far

Two weeks later
Ive had
a very slow start with my challenge, however, when I measured this morning
there were a few surprises in inch loss, especially in my arms. I have
been skin brushing twice a day. This is a change from doing it once a day
sporadically.
Ive been doing the
T-Tapp to Tempo workout about 3 times a week and the Basic Workout Plus at
least once a week or when I just dont have time for the full workout. I
havent done well at all in regard to my diet. I had planned to cut my sugar
intake drastically to 2 days off and one day on. I did pretty well for one
series, but usually I want a little sweet at the end of the day. Still working
on that.
I did find that the
Intermediate to Tempo Workout is too hard for me. After doing it, I starting
spotting, which progressed into a period. Then four days after completing
that, I have started my regularly scheduled period, so Im not happy about
that.
Other than that, T-Tapp
always makes me feel better. It takes away all my aches, pains, and stiffness.
Its a miracle worker for my aching back. I thank God for Teresa Tapp.

is even more important to me than losing inches or weight

I've been consistently tapping since the middle of August of 2004 when I
first discovered T-Tapp, so I haven't really seen any dramatic inch loss the
first couple weeks of this challenge. I have felt great as I made it through
the mental hurdle of completing a 10-day bootcamp. I feel increased energy
and really feel my body transforming to inner muscle. I haven't seen
dramatic changes, but my clothes are getting looser and I feel great!

groan! Darned menstruation!
But in the meantime:
Since I have been
T-Tapping on a regular basis I have noticed that the days that I do the Basic
Workout Plus I feel more centered, focused and energetic, and get more
accomplished around the house and in my business tasks. The workout feels
very energizing and revitalizing to my spine, I love all the twisting
actions. I have also noticed that the flexibility in my right arm is
increasing. In the past I could only barely hold it behind my back at my
waist before feeling pain, now I can hold it slightly above my waist!

SHERMAN
The first week I was very
good, I managed to w/o every day, Jan 4 to Jan 9. Then I started a new
job and I have been working from 7 to 5, coming home exhausted and have not
been able to work out. I have been feeling so good though I suffer
from a bi-polar disorder and I find that working out really does help me.
I went snow shoeing on January 15 - great workout but hard to keep my
form!!! But I am working on it.
My measurements have not
changed enough to be noticeable but hopefully I will be able to work out more
this week.

flabbergastered. He's seen me T-Tapp consistently, but also has seen me eat my
dessert, too! It's amazing to still maintain my regular diet and T-Tapp to
shrink my body. I feel wonderful!

My name is Jenny Mayer
and I have done pretty well in the first two weeks of the 60-Day
Challenge. I was able to have a session with one of Teresa's T-Tapp
trainers, Annette Kunde, the first weekend after starting the challenge.
She gave me a lot of great tips! In the first two weeks, I have lost 6
lbs. and 14 inches, and have had several wonderful changes take place! I
am excited to see what the next 6 weeks have in store for me!
The changes I have seen
thus far with T-Tapp have surpassed any results I have had from a medication I
was put on 1 year ago for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). I have
struggled for years with my weight, but it has gotten out of hand since having
my 3 children, within a 4 1/2 year period. I have also had my muscle mass
increase, making for a very bulky and heavy body (Both of these factors due to
the PCOS). I have also had bouts with depression over the years as
well. And the exhaustion! I would get out of bed and feel like I
had only slept a few hours. So, with that...
Since starting this
challenge 2 weeks ago, I have noticed that my mood has gotten better, I sleep
better and wake up with more energy. I feel more relaxed and in control
of my emotions. I also was hindered by my TM (which is usually long,
heavy, and painful) about 5 days after starting this challenge. But, to
my surprise, my TM was cut short by 2 days and I only had minor cramps and a
lighter flow. This is wonderful after having 25 years of terrible
cycles!
I also have a
hip/tailbone issue since delivering one of my children that bothers me
daily. It isn't completely pain free, but it is much more
manageable. I am sure this will continue to improve with time. My
knees are much better, having been VERY painful due to the excess weight and
years of volleyball abuse. The pain is decreased significantly and I am
able to get up from a kneeling position without feeling like my knees are going
to give out! I am starting to feel closer to my age of 37 instead of
97! I am very motivated by my results so far and look forward to the new
me!
Every part of me thanks
you,
Jenny Mayer

During the first few
weeks of the contest I noticed my skin smooth in appearance, my legs looked
more tone and smaller to me. And I noticed a change in the way my pants fit.
They fit looser in the legs, though tighter in the waist. I keep telling my
self that it is because my butt has seemed to lift or it is just the fat
shift. Energy is always better on the days that I Tapp.

I'm very much an apple shape. My arms are "normal". My
legs are normal. But my belly is large. That's why it's not a
surprise that most of my loss was in the waist. I did notice my pants fit
a little better. Hopefully I can cut back on eating like I need to and
can lose even more before the contest ends.

I was unable to do any
workouts during the first week because my dad was at UVA having throat cancer
surgery. I have done MORE for 9 out of the last 10 days. I was a little
disappointed in the lack of inch loss because my clothes are fitting so much
better that I was sure I had lost more inches. There are no words to describe
how I'm feeling though. MORE is the best DVD ever created. As a MORE to lose
gal, my muscle awareness has increased so much, my energy levels are soaring
and for once in my life--I look forward to exercising! I really see MORE as my
ticket to being healthy--finally!

I don't have serious
health issues, but I am human and do cause my self a lot more pain than
necessary. When I started my upper and lower back were in a great
deal pain. It hurt to pop my back, and when I did pop my back it was
a chorus of pop rocks. I could sit up straight and crack my back up
to 8-10 times, which isn't happy. My neck hurt constantly, due to a
not-friendly pillow (which has gone to the wind and happily replaced) and not
sleeping well. Within 4 days (I began on the 4th, my first time
back in a year) my back and neck have ceased hurting. I also
sleep through the night-which I am sooo grateful for!! I have gained
about an inch in my height - due to proper alignment in my posture and I don't
shuffle my feet any more!! (Melynda is so happy that TTAPP has given me
the knowledge of walking in proper alignment! she hates when I
shuffle). I am so thrilled about the wonderful things that T-TAPP is
doing for me!!! I am so grateful!!!! Thank you!!!

I have gotten really
busy; so have only been able to do BW+ 6 times. I cannot believe the
results in only 6 workouts. (I have also have walked a couple of times and
have done Step Away the Inches a few times.
The first week I had nausea when I was doing the PBS, and so had to stop
and walk around awhile. But I always went back to it and made it through.
I have yet to do a full workout. I am trying to focus on correct form, so
only get through about 4 reps on each exercise (except the PBS. I make
sure I do the whole PBS routine.)
I haven't lost that many inches, but am reshaping so much that it is
noticeably. I have already had someone ask me what I am doing to lose
weight, but I have only lost 2 pounds in the 2 weeks.
The first few days after starting T-Tapp, I had almost constant indigestion and
reflux, but tried to power-through and not take anything for it. I didn't
want to add more toxins to my body when I was working out so hard to get rid of
them. I just figured it was the T-Tapp normalizing things. And now
I am fine.
My posture is improving and I am feeling less frumpy.

I did a 14-day bootcamp
of beginner rehab. I'm back into my tens, which were too tight at the waist
from the 12s I had been wearing. I feel so good after working out. It gives me
so much more energy for the day. The first few days I felt my body detoxing. I
don't feel bloated like I did.
I gave
blood on 1/7, and my blood pressure was good. Iron levels good.
I was not worn out from donating blood at all. I worked out the next day, no
problem. I can get through the workout much easier than I could on day one. I'm
bobbling less. Spider veins are fading some.

My measurements are not
very significant--I was sick for the first week of the contest! I have been
concentrating on persevering with doing something--whether it is only PBS and
brushing/alfalfa/PG spray, or the full-up BWO+ with brushing (a.m., p.m.), PBS
(a.m., p.m.)--every day. Even with the small amount that I have accomplished to
date, I feel taller and more pulled together with regards to my muscles; I do
not feel like a bowl of pudding when I sit or walk. My general health has been
odd, but I don't think that is due to T-Tapp. I think I've picked up some of
the illness going around at work! My allergies have kicked in and I have
fibromyalgia achiness in my muscles. T-Tapp does help with heating me up so
that some of the achiness dissipates.
I hope to have a better
picture of my progress on the next check in. I'm not concerned about winning
the contest though; this was a way to get me started and motivated to continue.
I know that once I get T-Tapp worked into my routine, I'll be healthier and
more slender in no time.

The first week I suffered
from a slight cold and some horrible PMS. I only did the Total Workout 2 times
(from Tues. to Tues.) and jogged 2 miles on the treadmill once. The second
week I felt much better and did 3 1/2 Total body workouts and 5 days on the
treadmill 2 miles each. I was feeling pretty sluggish from the holidays
but T-Tapp always snaps me back into shape. I hadn't worked out in more than a
week prior to the contest and I was having back trouble so badly I couldn't
sleep. Since starting T-Tapp again my back is good a new and I sleep like a
baby. I also had a pretty bad acne flare up but with the great lymphatic
pumping of T-Tapp my face is crystal clear. I look forward to the rest of
the contest and more inch loss!
