It will be worth it. Ella, Thanks for sharing your story The first thing you will learn here is that you NEVER have to apologize for bragging about your accomplishments! We love to hear about everyone's success and encourage everyone to brag about even their slightest accomplishments! You will fit right in here as we are always telling each other to stay away from the scale and focus on what's happening inside first and to go by the way your clothes fit, instead of the actual number on the scale! For those of you who weren't at QVC....Ella looks terrific! Congratulations on everything you have accomplished these past two years Welcome to our little Tae-Bo family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2001 Report Share Posted February 26, 2001 Ella is actually in one of my pictures. She's in the group photo before the 11am workout. She wasn't facing the camera, but she's wearing a white tee-shirt. Ann Marie For those of you who weren't at QVC....Ella looks terrific!

" I totally agree with this! I finally have found the frame of mind to not care about the numbers on the scale. I've been doing Tae Bo since January 3, have lost 11 inches. I've also lost 3% of my body fat, which equates to 9.15 lbs of fat lost and 4.15 lbs of muscle gained. That's only a 5 lb loss but man, do I feel great about myself! (who is still thrilled that I talked to and is hoping to someday meet everyone here!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
