I can’t
believe the 4 weeks are over
– Congrats to all. Loved
reading about your good
work.

To Leanne
M,
Hi
Leanne, Congratulations on
your fabulous transformation
and also on your Runner’s Up
award. You must be so proud
of your achievements. You
look amazing and I am sure
that you also feel amazing.
I too am looking at staring
up a similar business and
becoming a motivation / life
coach. I am already a
personal trainer and a
Primary School teacher, so I
too am hoping to do a few
courses to get me to where I
dream to be in the not too
distant future. It is people
like you and the wonderful
Mr Harper that really help
to inspire me, especially
when running a family and
work seem to take over.
I just
thought that I would let you
know about a book that I am
currently reading (I hope
you don’t mind Craig if I do
a little advertising). It is
called How to Become Wildly
Wealthy Fast by an
Australian woman Sandy
Forster. Although its title
is what it is this book
tells of how Sandy got to be
where she is now. I am sure
that Craig could write one
similar. It is more about
mindset and belief in
yourself and the power of
attraction through your
thoughts. She is also linked
to a website –
wildywealthywomen – which is
about Australian women who
run successful internet
businesses.
I was
wondering if you would be
interested in (I know that I
am a personal trainer)
helping me achieve my goals
leading up to Christmas. It
is hard being a trainer as
you are always motivating
and pushing other people and
not so much yourself. I know
what to do but to have
someone there that I had to
answer to would be fabulous.
I don’t need to lose any
weight I just need to tone a
little to be able to wear my
bathers with summer with a
little more confidence. I
would also like to keep in
contact and exchange info on
business ideas.
Well
done again and I look
forward to chatting with
you.

one last message before the
challenge is over, oh'll it
is over. This if for Greg,I
think your time-line is a
great idea and I had a
chuckle with the thought of
you writing up your
resignation letter, great
stuff. Goodluck with your
future plans and that will
be my next task to sit down
and create my own
time-line. Exciting times
ahead for all Charmaine.
Thanks Anne for your warm
message much appreciated,
gives me that little bit
more confidence that I am
heading in the right
direction. Now have you
replaced those jeans,
remember before you can
truly look after those
around you, you have to be
in a good head space
yourself. And I know that a
new pair of jeans and a
haircut and you will feel
like a million dollars and
project this onto those you
love!! Go for it and no
guilt (hope I have the right
Anne here).
A
big congrats to everyone for
focusing on changing aspects
of their lives over the past
4 weeks and if any of you at
all are still struggling
with that big four word
FOOD, you can't go past that
book Fattitude, really
helped put my head in the
right space.
Charmaine :)
Congrats to everyone who is
sticking with the GYST
challenge. I admire your
sticking power!
Charmaine, go for that
certificate. There are lots
of us out there who need
someone like you on our side
as we tackle our demons.
You will know exactly what
we are facing and how we are
feeling. If anyone could
get us through you could.
Anne
Hey,
I just stumbled in to
the Support Messages
today... I'm really
touched.
In two hours time I
start night shift and my
motivation is a little low
at the moment... I wish I
was living my dream life
NOW, not 'some time' down
the track.
Then I had a look at
the support messages here,
and was instantly picked
up!
Thanks folks. I'll
be singing on my way into
"hell" tonight! I can't
change my environment
(yet!), but I can change the
way I react to it : )
Will have a look at
Martha Stewart... I don't
know who she is, but might
be worth a look. Thanks for
the tip.
The declutter thing
is going really well. Room
by room. But wife and
children remain a little
reluctant though.
The really tough
question is: How do you
motivate those you love, or
care about. (Be they
family, or workmates), to
push a few boundaries, start
exercising, be more
positive?
Cheers,
Greg
Hey there
fellow GYSTers,
Just
wanna let you know that you
are all grouse, ace and
fabulous!! Hope you are all
having fun… J

Amanda B

Jen
Charmaine J
Thanks!
This week the queen of sheba
came down off her high horse
a bit and at least talked to
me – about herself of course
– but she talked. Hope you
are doing well with moving
on in your life too!
Amanda

Michelle (Tas), Moyra,
Sandi, ST Sydney, Sephyroth,
snoskred, It was great to
see your week two posts –
looking for week 3!
Elroy
sounds like you are getting
cuter every day!
Greg –
you are gonna have to share
that spreadsheet you know!
Julie –
you reminded me of
something- I finally
realised I do not need to
get myself out of bed at 6
am on a workday…there is
no-one to disturb and my
daughter gets herself up….so
I need to alter the course
of my body clock…7 am is the
goal instead of 6am.
CH – KK
has your number mate – LOL!
KK I am glad your business
id going well.
*Cheers
very loudly for Ron D*
Hugs
for everyone!
Jen
Hey
GYSTers
I noticed
that some of you guys and
gals haven’t done an update
for week 2 (some haven’t
done week one either). Time
to come clean and let us
know how you are going.
Remember Craig said
yesterday “Do
NOT let the wheels fall off
your
GYST wagon...
or I will hunt you down and
pull your armpit hairs.Very
hard.” And just for good measure
I will torture you even
further by tickling you and
singing too you while your
armpit hairs are being
pulled out (I am warning you
that this would be true
torture …….me singing that
is!)
C’MON it
is not too late to redeem
yourselves and send in an
update. Even if you haven’t
done what you should have
done, you are NOT a
failure. Just regroup and
get on with it. CMON you
can do it!!!
Leanne M
Hey there
fellow GYSTers
Just
wanted to drop by and send
you all some cyber love!!
BIG
((()))s
Amanda B
(Melbourne)
P.S. Hey
KK, I am sure you are
not alone in wanting to get
your hands on the Big Scary
One!! Good luck…LOL
To all
GYSTers – congrats on
accomplishments in week one!
Lets keep on going.
Jen
Hi
All,
Everyone seems to be humming
along nicely this is a
little message to Jen, I can
only try and imagine what
your daughter is like. I to
have a queen of Sheba, mine
is 13 turning 14 and I must
say though it’s awful at
times she reminds me of the
patients where I work (acute
mental health). We were
only in the carpark the
other day and I got a fair
amount of attitude and my
youngest daughter goes
that’s not very nice you
don’t scream in carparks!!
And yes I think we carry a
lot of baggage and guilt
with parenting, so give
yourself a pat on the back
knowing that you have done
the best possible.
Have
a great week
Charmaine J
Hey
Everyone,
I've
just finished reading all
the week 1 updates and they
are inspirational. It makes
me want to try even harder
this week.
Hey
Amanda B.....hope everything
goes really well for your
Cert IV exam this week, I'll
be cheering for you.
I know
we will reach our
goals.....Great things will
happen!
A
friend sent me this message
a while ago and I love
it....
'hold
onto your vision for the
future and you'll be ready
to soar when the time is
right'
Have a
great week fellow GYSTers...
SandraP
HI
-this is for GREG
You
are not an anal retentive!
I dont think there is
anything much better than
being organised and it
doesnt mean that you are
"inflexible". The more
organised I am, the calmer I
feel, ( and the more I get
done) because Im not
searching and pulling my
hair out looking for the dvd
remote, my keys, my right
red shoe, the cheque
book/passport, a box of
matches and the medicare
cheque that arrived two
weeks ago! ( just to name a
few......).
A
little bit of martha stewart
goes a long way ( i mean the
organisational stuff, not
the carving pumpkins into
the statue of David stuff-NOw
that is weird)- People are
gonna say Im the anal
retentive ( that sounds like
a song LOL)-
all
the best with your life
"de-clutter!"
Elroy ( Melbourne)
Hi All,
I have
just read through all the
updates for week one and I
felt the need to shout WOOOO
HOOOO!!!!!
You guys
are all doing great. It
feels fabulous to be a part
of this challenge…
To Sandra
P: Just wanna through some
extra special encouragement
your way as I totally get
where you’re at…. GO GIRL!
Big Hugs
to everyone,
Amanda B
This is
for Debbie,
Seeing
as how my name is Debbie too
I'm cheering you on from the
sidelines.
Go,
Debbie, Go. *jumps up and
down* woooohoooooo.
Hugs
From The Debstar.
To Leanne
M., Thank you Leanne for
your words of encouragement.
I do have several illnesses
that might not go away but I
am determined to get this
obesity gone so that I can
have a chance to fight the
other things. I know I can
do this now. I know that
this will make my life
easier just by getting the
strain off of my body for
sure. This 28 day challange
is great and I'm not
stopping after 28 days, I'm
changing my life
forever!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank
you again for your
encouragement, meant alot to
me.
Debbie (Texas)
For all
of my GYST family,
I know
you are
all
achieving and believing.
Happy first weekend!
Here
is proof
that with
good
planning, the glass is never
half empty:
“If you
lose your job, your
marriage, and your mind all
in one week, try to lose
your mind first, because
then the other stuff won't
matter that much.”-JHandy
Smile,
you are already winning….
Almost one week and our
minds are still intact,
right?
()s
for
all!
Tami
This is for Charmaine.
