When I started the 90 day program I couldn't do a single push-up.  Not on my knees, not in my dreams.  I had never lifted anything beyond a pink dumbbell of 5 lb, I'd never attempted a pull up and my version of squats were more like taking a slight dip at the knees.  Yet I kept with the exercises, no matter how they scared me at first, I tried, and tried.  By the end of the 1st 3 weeks, I was doing knee push-ups!  Things started changing as I got stronger and I found less need to substitute exercises.  Next I found myself wanting to push myself even further - incredible.  And at the end of 90 days I had lost 35lbs.

But part of me had the feeling that I had "unfinished" business, because I had substituted a lot of the exercises in the first time around.  So I wanted to do it all again, no substitutes.  So I did...and by the end of round 2, I was looking at a total loss of 55 lbs.

After the 2nd time around, I joined the MAX Workout Club...and now 1 year later, I'm at the 72 lbs mark of weight loss since I entered Shin and Susan's world!  Basically I have lost 1/3 of the person I was!  A year in transformation!  I turn 40 in 2 weeks and the gift of my body, health, life, and emotional healing is probably the best gift I could give myself (ok and a trip to the Bahamas)
