Yesterday was an amazing day which saw us say goodbye to 3 inspiring individuals, once again with their own story. One, halfway through her journey but still with a great (self-belief) hurdle to overcome, came through the 2 weeks with a re-newed belief in herself and walked out of the house 6.3kg lighter. Another lady came with a history of muscular injuries, and once again a lack of self belief, but walked out of the house just over 10kg lighter. This was the greatest amount a female had lost at The New Me......until the final lady weighed in. Our current record holder, who left the house just over 11kg lighter, is just at the start of her journey. Lacking fitness and mobility and having a history of serious illness, she pushed herself in the sessions and so deserved the result she got.
I know I keep mentioning the transformations, but it is hard not to be blown away by the change in people. I'm not just talking about the physical change, it's the psychological change that is most impressive. These 3 ladies were different people when they left. This is not always a comfortable place to be. You are constantly taken out of your comfort zone, but these 3 (like many others) perservered.
For that that have my respect!

Youve read the lists that compiled the 50 or 100 places and things you must see and do before you die.
These lists are great for reminding you how short life is and for showing you what youre missing.
This list is a little different; it compiles 50 things to say before you die.
Why such a list? Because youd be surprised how little people express their selves and say what they need to say to those who matter. You dont want to be on your deathbed before you utter these words.
You need to say these at the appropriate times and with true meaning behind them. Reading them now does not count.
1. Thanks for everything youve done. Say it to your mother, father, grandmother, or sister; whoever deserves it. Say it when its least expected and when it will make the most impact.
2. Youve changed my life.
3. I need you.
4. Ive only got one life to live. - This will give you tremendous motivation.
5. Nothing can stop me.
