JILLIAN'S TIP OF THE DAY
Healing the Whole Person
When Jill started eating right and exercising, she didn't just make changes on the outside; she changed on the inside as well. Her health problems cleared up, she had more energy, and she found healthier ways to deal with stress. Her hard work paid off not just with a thinner, fitter body, but with a happier, more active, more productive life. Remember: This is not just about weight loss. It's about living your life to your fullest potential.
SUCCESS STORIES: Jill (age 61)
Jill Proves You Can Lose Weight After 60
Many people blame their weight on their age. They think that as they get older, or after they go through menopause, they no longer have the ability to change their bodies. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Just take the example of Jill, a 61-year-old who conquered her emotional eating habit and used my online program to lose 60 pounds,* to get the lean, trim body she'd wanted for years, and to improve her quality of life.
Jillian taught me that working out with weights is necessary to really change your body, and she's right. I've been at this weight before, but I've never been at my current size; I'm at least a size smaller than I was the last time I weighed 148 pounds. This program has really changed my body, and not just by weight loss. I have realized that I'm a stress eater, and now I exercise to take care of stress instead. For the first time, I've reached my weight-loss goal and have kept doing the work to maintain it.
Even though I'm 61, I feel as if I'm 30. My most recent sleep apnea and cholesterol evaluations showed huge improvements, and my acid reflux has disappeared. This time it's a lifestyle change, not just a diet. I want to live a long, healthy life, and I can see how my health has changed since I've been working out and losing weight. That's the motivation that makes this time different, that makes my changes permanent. I have more energy and a renewed love of life, and I look forward to a healthy, active lifestyle for many years to come
I liked this success story because it reminds me that comfort comes from other sources too (not just snacking or a carmel sunday at Leatherby's :-} ). Recently I have not been running due to an injury so I am doing Jillians video and the Ultimate Fitness Wii game by Jillian. I think I have lost weight from decreased muscle but I have found that if I just keep moving, even with less intensity, I enjoy the benefits. There is comfort in that for me. The other fun thing for me is to go to Ross and try on all of the stuff that used to not fit and complement myself, plus that is time I am not snacking and I am moving... and I don't go to buy, just to try. It's really motivating. Good luck everyone!
