My name is Barbara Kotzur. I live in Texas. I am 46 years old and 5’9” tall. I have a combination body type and weigh about 187. My current size is 12/14.

I first learned of T-Tapp in the Spring of 2007. I had changed jobs. One of the girls mentioned it in passing as something they had tried as a group for a work fitness program once. The instructor had been Jenny Russell. I looked up the website and read as much as I could find on it. It sounded like the miracle cure. One day Jenny came into our office to pay her bill; she looked good! I had not seen her in a few years and the last time I did see her she was a lot heavier. I thought if T-Tapp did that for her it could help me.

I ordered Basic Workout Plus along with Step Away the Inches in the Summer of 2007. I was 44, over 30 lbs overweight, and totally out of shape. I started with Instr.#1. It nearly killed me, and never mind the form. I did not see how I was going to do this. I was tired and depressed before, but this wore me out and depressed me even more. I kept trying for a few months, but I gave it up and decided I was just going to be fat. Needless to say, I got even more depressed and was still tired all the time. Fast forward to September, 2008. I decided that if I was going to be tired and depressed anyway, I might as well try T-Tapping again. What did I have to lose? After all, the website and forums were full of people touting their success with it, and I didn’t think they were lying. So I started again. I slacked; started again. I repeated this cycle countless times. The thing I noticed was when I slacked for a few weeks I didn’t lose ground, meaning that the muscle I had built wasn’t lost. That is what kept me coming back to T-Tapp. I did not lose any weight. I had measured back when I started the first time, but along the way being disgusted as I was, I threw them away. I never measured again. I had looked at Lani Muelrath’s Tappin Holidays in 2008 & told myself I couldn’t do it. I took another look at it in 2009 and decided that I would try it. When I looked at it closely I discovered that I did not have to give up anything if I did not want to. All I had to do was add a few more vegetables in a day than I was already eating, brush 2 more days a week than I was already, and workout 7 days a week. Well, that last one was the rub. I had already been working out, but I was only managing 2 to 3 days a week and I let myself off the hook a lot for doing a whole workout. Anyway, I told myself that I could do this. I promised myself that I would complete each daily workout even if that meant pausing the DVD every time I got tired; I had to give myself permission to do that (as I lean toward an all or nothing mentality). There was a lot of pausing the first week. Well I surprised myself and did it. I missed some days due to various circumstances, but for the most part I did it. Anyway, I finally starting seeing real progress in December, 2009. In December, 2008 my clothes were tight, very tight. The difference is of course T-Tapp. Another point I would like to make is, T-Tapp truly does work from the inside out; my body must have needed a lot of repairs on the inside. It (my body) was not about to start showing progress on the outside until the needed inside repairs were made. It was very stubborn on that point. I could have had faster results I suppose if I had been more consistent, but the fat was not caused simply by a lack of exercise. It was caused by my unhealthy attitudes and habits, and my ineffective ways of handling my emotions and problems. Those things had to be changed and worked through along the way as well. I still have progress to make. I have been a size 12/14 all this time (the good news is I didn’t get bigger); I would like to be a size 8/10 again.

The progress I have made so far may not have changed my size much yet, but my body is being sculpted and toned all over. I have lost most of that upper ab pooch. My lower abdomen is flatter; the flattening started at my pelvis and is working its way up. My clothes fit loosely in the tush and thighs. My waist is not much smaller yet, but it is getting there. When I look down, it doesn’t look like I’m three months pregnant anymore; I like it!

On January 4, 2010, I started my own challenge. I have my workout schedule which is similar to the one I used for Tappin Holidays, but I incorporated a bigger selection of workouts. I like the variety of using different workouts. I do the longest workout of the week on Monday and taper down to BWO+ by Saturday; Sundays are Off. Yet another plus from T-Tapp is strength. HTF and Tempo LB, much less HTF harder and the Lady Bug workout were flat impossible for me to do. Now I have the strength to do those. The bottom line is I started and stopped many, many times over, but I never truly failed, because I got up (though sometimes I wallowed curled up on the floor for a while), dusted myself off, and persevered. You can too. To quote the master “Yes You Can!”

Teresa, T-Tapp has given me my life back in more ways than one. I truly Thank You!  Thank you for such an incredible exercise system. I have tried other exercise programs and none of them were something I could stick with. This does work. T-Tapp is truly a lifestyle and total body changing phenomena.

Sincerely,

Barbara Kotzur
