WELCOME!!!!

Hello everyone!!!! I want to welcome you all to the Take Your Body Back 6 week Body Make Over Challenge.  That's a mouthful huhn? I know!!! Just bear with me as I try to explain the reason for this.  Truly this body make over is as a result of a long standing battle with my weight.  I am so tired of going round this mountain as I am sure most of you are.  For as long as I've been aware, my weight has always been an issue and I've lost it, gained it, lost and gained it back too many times.  


So sitting here after baby and thinking of the saying, "If you want to get different results, try something that you never have before" I started thinking of a way to motivate myself to not only lose this weight but develop a healthy lifestyle that would help me keep it off for good and I had my "Aha" moment.  If I pray about things in my life asking God for change, why not my weight?  That was Aha numero uno.  Aha #2: why not get a group of people together to encourage, support and pray each other into this new body and lifestyle that we we all yearn for.  So voila ici.  A Blackberry Messenger Group was formed to see how many people would be interested and needless to say the very 1st day we already reached the group's max. (Yikes!!!).  I always planned to do a blog to document not a weight loss process but a life changing event, well this counts for me as a life changing event, because it is my hope that after this my life, as well as many of yours would never be the same again.  That you would look upon this experience as the turning point where your body no longer determined how you would look and feel, but you decided what your body would look and feel like.  Please see this not only as a place for you to come and get encouraged, but be prepared to give and share of yourself.  


The majority of you are women and when galvanized in the right way and for the right cause, we form a formidable force to be reckoned with.  Please let us build each other up, celebrate ourselves, our accomplishments and triumphs through this process.  One person's success is collectively our success, because it means they have overcome and crossed over to the other side and if they could do it, so can we.  So join me as I invoke the Obama chant "Yes We Can! Yes We Can!! Yes We Can!!!" and to add to that "Yes We Shall! Yes We Shall!! Yes We Shall!!!"


Well, over the next few weeks, the blog is going to arm us with the tools we need to make this happen.  I believe 2012 is going to be a greater year than any of the years we have experieneced thus far and we need to be prepared, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, psychologically and PHYSICALLY.  So be on the look out, also share the blog with your friends, sisters, mothers, aunties, cousins, whoever you know could do with a lifestyle change.  


I leave you with a scripture that I want to see manifested in my life; an abundant full life, John 10:10 " The enemy comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I (Jesus Christ) come that they (us) may have life; and have it to the full" .  Let us live our lives to the fullest.  


Welcome aboard! And I cant wait to see what we would all look like after 6 weeks.
