Average to Lose - Under 50 Category

T-Tapp has made big differences in my health in the past… I know it works from a health perspective: resolving back problems, rehabbing injuries, improving balance, boosting energy, improving my outlook and generally making me feel healthier and happier. But that's not my story today.
In spite of these health improvements, I had not made great progress in losing sizes and body shaping due to my lack of consistency and irregular workout schedule.
So, I approached this January Jump Start from a hard-nosed, almost experimental perspective. For this 30-day period, the only lifestyle change I made was to implement a consistent, steady program using the Basic Workout Plus — and only that. No other T-Tapp workouts, no dietary changes, no supplements. I was already using the skin brushing technique, so that continued.
I did a total of 19 workouts over the time period —beginning by doing Basic Workout Plus every day for 10 days, followed by an every other day schedule for the remaining days. The pattern of workouts came from a "boot camp" plan described in the book "Fit and Fabulous in 15 Minutes" for people who want to lose 2-3 sizes. The only other activity was some casual walking: a 30 minute walk with my daughter one day, and a campus visit which entailed walking around a university for tours and appointments.
The proof is in the results — over this 30-day period I lost a total of 20 inches, including 4.5 inches from my waist. Most of this loss came during the 10-day boot camp. The pictures really don't communicate how much better I look, but they do show the progress. Other changes obvious to friends and family include such intangibles as cheekbones, fewer chins and a more slender silhouette. In fact my rib measurement is now 33" —when I was in college 30 years ago it was 34." And my previously flat butt is becoming more nicely rounded!
Because I am a Short Torso, Long Leg body type, I could fit into a smaller size easily… if not for my STLL abdomen, which needs to lose at least another 5 inches. But now I convinced that "Yes, I can" reach my goal of becoming a size 10 — hopefully by my birthday in late April. I'd like to reward myself with a pair of Lucky jeans when reaching that size!
Thanks for designing a workout that works!
