This is the 3rd of Jan’s installments, tracking her Transformation. This month, she struggles with the classic issues of seeing herself get smaller, but frustrated not to see it on the scale – as well as social eating and travel… The journey over the last month has been bumpy. A big positive in the last […]
My name is Janet and I am a 65 year old grandmother. I started the Genesis program in September of 2008 after being on vacation in Montana. My daughter, Kristin Bodeen, had been on the program, lost tons of weight and looked fantastic!! While we were there she watched what I ate and the amounts […]
This is the 2nd of Jan’s monthly installments, tracking her Transformation progress. My journey the last month has been up and down, both emotionally and on the scale. I sailed through Thanksgiving without gaining a pound. I couldn’t even get all my food in as I was too busy cooking for everyone else! It must […]
I am 35 years old and from the time I hit puberty until about a year and a half ago I was fat – in my head, I always cushioned the term and would use “heavy” or “overweight,” but never fat. But when I look back at my before pictures, it literally looks like I […]
I have been heavy all my life….ok I have been obese for most of my life. There I said it. It is in black and white print for all to see. I started on diets at age 12. I took thyroid pills that made me sick when I was very active…not a good way to […]
Although I have struggled with my weight my entire life, in my teens, 20’s and early 30’s, I was reasonably fit and active. Then Life happened, and I chose to cope in self destructive ways. By the time I’d seen the big 4-0 come and go, I had stopped beating myself up, and wanted to […]
Recently, as I was out on a run, I realized my 39th birthday is approaching and my birthday happens to coincide with my first anniversary in the Genesis Program. Naturally I spent the remainder of my run reminiscing, keeping my heart rate in check of course, about the last year. Let me provide a little […]
The current economic crunch has affected our country in a critical way and it’s been a tough year for many of us. My personal journey through this economic climate has lead me to a profound realization. If I really want to improve my situation, I can work on the one thing over which I have […]
Wow, what an amazing journey I have been on the past year. I started Genesis in September 2009, after 6 months of contemplating whether I wanted to take this step. I had noticed a few women around town that looked amazing through Genesis and I had watched my friend, Samantha, change her body, become fit […]
There was a time when I couldn’t figure out how I was going to fit Genesis into my lifestyle, but when I changed the scenario and fit my lifestyle into Genesis amazing things started to happen. In acknowledging the “amazing things”, I discovered that being grateful for where I started and how I got there […]
