WHAT THE LOVELY PARTICIPANTS OF WEIGHT LOSS FROM WITHIN™ HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE 6 WEEK PROGRAM.
ANY OF THESE SUCCESS STORIES CAN BE YOURS…
“
“This entire program should be taught to all young women!! So many of the beliefs I have hung onto could have been dismantled had I had these tools in my younger years.
Thanks to Lisa I LOVE MYSELF!! I love me and all that is me. It is my choice and my responsibility to do what I want in my life from eating, exercising, behaving and all the things. Boundaries with self and others are important as is how you talk to yourself and the words you choose.”

Yesterday, after work, I faced what was once a very daunting experience. It was rather uplifting this time. I went bathing suit hunting. Yup, never fun. But, this time it was... Why I asked myself was that not as painful as I remember from the past? What has changed? Like what... I went into the store with what I have - me and the body I have. I am not ashamed of the stretch mark of birth, the scar from two c-sections (mighty long and very noticeable), nor the loose skin, or the saggy boobs. This body carried two wonderful babies and those saggy boobs with one bigger than the other, nursed two babies. I am proud of this body and how I continue to nourish it with good food and activity. I embrace what I have now. And damn, I looked good in those bathing suits, saggy girls and all!
Hey everyone -
I was laughing this morning because I only has 2 hours sleep, and I thought - here I am, day 12 (for me, still catching up), and I have completely gone back on my promise to put my body's needs first by working til 5:30am, a good two hours after I stopped being productive.
But you know what? I'm Ok with it. I was working on something huge and brave - and also natural to me when I think about it. And in order to get it done in time, I had to work crazy hours. Maybe I could have done it differently - started earlier, been less perfectionist about it (!!) or something - but I'm still damn proud I got it done.
And I'm proud that today I can go a little easy and be compassionate with myself and allow myself extra rest and recuperation - guilt free. I'm not going to make myself start over with a new promise, or be angry at myself for slipping up so soon. I am who I am. Deeply committed to her health and body - someone who can smile and forgive herself when she's been unreasonable (again!) and get back into her new way of Being.
So I'm proud of that too. And - in the past - I hardly ever allowed myself to be proud of myself at all. It's a whole new world! #NoShame #NoGuilt #SoFree #Liberation
Hello ladies. Yesterday's call was definitely the big kick up the booty I needed to get me back into alignment. I definitely felt like the naughty teenager that was given the lecture lol but knowing that it was for my own good and coming from a place of love, thanks Lisa!
I had full awareness that I was slowing choosing behaviours that didn't serve me but choosing them anyway as it's the easier way to numb or not deal with my emotions.
This is where the rubber hits the road... I think Lisa says. This is where I need to start showing up for myself.
Yesterday I exercised, I meditated, I played with my children in the sunshine. I didn't have any wines, I had a beautiful night's sleep. I didn't let my emotions run the show even when I was feeling triggered. I felt the clarity and joy coming back.
I am re-committed to being the best version of me - especially in hard times. X
Sitting on the beach on this gorgeous springtime day feeling absolute gratitude for this work and this group in particular.
I am in a bikini!
No tank top, no tankini, no sarong, just the bikini...
And I feel alive. I feel seen. I feel completely comfortable in my body.
So. Much. Gratitude. Lisa Carpenter Jill Renee Stevens
Hope everyone is still feeling the feels from in here, as we go back to our lives outside of this group.
