Michelle Martinez Tucson, Arizona Certified T-Tapp Trainer michellem@t-tapp.com Hello from the Southwest! My name is Michelle Martinez. I am married, have a young son, and live in Tucson, Arizona. I found T-Tapp in April 2005, when I was browsing some weight loss forums and came across a post that raved about T-Tapp. I had never before heard of this workout program, so I immediately went to the T-Tapp website. From that moment, I could feel that my life was going to change dramatically. This was so much more than a workout, T-Tapp was a way of life. While I had never had problems with my weight, when I got pregnant in the winter of 2002, I started gaining weight rapidly. By the end of my pregnancy, I had gained over 50 lbs., and after my son was born in August 2003, I settled into a weight that was 30 lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight. For months, I beat myself up because I couldn’t lose the weight. I told myself I would try this diet or that diet, only to find that I didn’t have the willpower to follow the diet for even a day.  I always planned to workout, but easily found an excuse to put it off. I stopped doing things like getting haircuts or putting on makeup, because I didn’t feel like it would make any difference. I shied away from social events because because I felt so unhappy with myself, and it was all due to my weight gain.

Then I discovered T-Tapp. As I began Tapping, I immediately felt the health benefits as well as the mind benefits. It was amazing to me that I wasn’t jumping up and down or lifting weights but yet I could feel every muscle in my body working. A workout that looked so simple could make me drip in sweat and feel so energized afterwards. I also felt an amazing clarity after Tapping that helped my concentration and focus. I found myself focusing less on losing weight and more on becoming healthy. My carpal tunnel, which I had suffered from for 5 years, disappeared within days of beginning T-Tapp. I could see the muscles forming in my arms and legs, and realized that when I woke up in the morning, I no longer felt depleted and tired. I felt energetic and ready to start my day. The icing on the cake was losing 22 ½ inches in just over two months! T-Tapp has freed me from the dieting world, because I no longer follow diets, but instead, I listen to my body and what it is telling me . What matters most is how I feel about myself, and how healthy my body is. I care about what I put into my body and how I utilize my body. I care about going to my personal max and striving to be the best person I can be, both in T-Tapp and in other areas of my life. Quite simply, T-Tapp has changed my life. I have been so profoundly impacted by T-Tapp that I would like to pass this knowledge on to others around me and introduce them to the wonderful benefits that T-Tapp has to offer.
