Your old ways of thinking and acting have gotten you exactly where you are right now
Obstacles are those things you see when you are
taking your eyes off your goals!
Today is Day 5 of the Total Transformation Challenge. So far, we have talked a lot about Obsticals. They are ALL the things that in the past have gotten in your way and Stopped You From Reaching Your Goals.
But..
ALL that is in past!!!
Now it’s time for change!
It’s essential that you recognize how your old ways of thinking and acting have gotten you exactly where you are right now. If you are not really happy with where you are in regards to your health right now, consider that thousands of people, including the belly above have already changed their lives as a result of implementing the rules of this challenge.

John Anderson – The Guy Who Invented Isagenix Speaks About Snacking on an Isagenix Cleanse Day
The cleanse can be taken daily for cleansing in a milder way along with foods, and it works. The power of the ingredients and minerals change lives every day. Even if a person never deep cleansed, they are much better off than 99.9% of the world. Daily cleansers should not be ashamed if they never deep cleanse.
The original deep cleanse for 48 hours is the backbone of this system and adding slim cakes, eggs, chocolate, salad, etc is totally wrong. I’ll never condoned this.
THE DEEP CLEANSE is very good for the serious health seekers who care about their health and want to live longer with a better quality of life. “It’s The Ultimate Cleanse”
The Isagenix Snacks were developed exactly for cleansing and for those who have low blood sugar.
You can also add a slice or two of an apple or pear for the carbohydrates if you need more glucose.
If people are not serious about cleansing, then they can eat everything but the kitchen sink, but don’t come back and tell Isagenix the system did not work. These are the sissy wanabee’s cleanser.
It’s tough but please do not add foods simply for the craving sensation. Cravings do not last more than a day and overcoming them is taking control of your life! Slim Cakes, celery, cucumbers, eggs, or a small green salad are ok for daily cleansing but not for deep cleanse days.
I do enjoy your questions and want to say thanks!

Encouragement for today:
Name: Holly DeMott
Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
Age: 33
Height: 5’6.5”
Was: 231 pounds
Lost: 90 pounds* and 7 dress sizes*
Holly Sheds Business Suits For Freedom & Bikinis
For years, Holly hid behind her business suit. The jacket covered the places she didn’t want to show and the power she felt wearing it made up for the insecurity she felt on the inside.
Weighing 242 pounds,* she always knew that the person who showed up at the office wasn’t the “real” Holly, who was a formerly athletic “popular girl” in high school. But her false reality never sunk in deep enough for her to recognize how far away she had strayed away from her former, confident self.
Then, she discovered Isagenix® while maintaining her high-stress (and high-paying) job in the corporate environment and became curious about the business side. She admits she was actually grateful when she was laid off from her job so she could pursue her Isagenix business full time.
Unfortunately, while she often lost 20 pounds* on the products here or there, she still never believed that she could create a lasting, transformative change and accomplish her health and weight-loss goals.
Frustrated that her business seemed to be stalling, Holly turned to an Isagenix Beyond Courage personal development course with Chief Training Officer and Senior Vice President David Wood. It was there that she had her “light bulb moment.”
“He told me ‘Holly, when you decide to lose the weight and be a product of the product, your business will explode,” recalls Holly of Minnesota, who was a 1-Star Silver Circle at the time. “I thought for a minute and realized that he was right.”
Little did she realize that by simply committing to the products under the pretense of growing her business that she would literally change the course of her life for good and rediscover her formerly confident self.
After committing to the 2010 IsaBody Challenge®, Holly hired a personal trainer who worked with many fitness competitors and was one herself, Lori H. Taking each day as it came, she focused on the products, listened to popular advice shared by top leaders such as Susan S. and began to watch as the scale dip backwards 10 pounds at a time, until she reached 52 pounds* lost during the Challenge. But, she still had one more goal to accomplish that she never thought was possible: compete in a fitness competition…in a bikini.
“I decided in January that I could have the bikini body I wanted and could look hot in one,” shares Holly. “When I competed, it was a dream. I never thought in a million years I’d be doing a bikini competition.”
She stuck to a strict training regimen that included running up to 15 miles a day, helping her to even overcome her previously-held belief that she disliked running.
“I’ve never really been a runner, but now I’m a runner,” admits Holly. “Now I’ll be out running and literally do a check—does my body hurt? No. Am I breathing hard? No. That means I need to keep going. I really feel it’s because of the products.”
When she finally walked across the stage in a teeny-bikini at her fitness competition in Florida, she says the experience was “awesome.” Now she’s committed to competing in even more fitness competitions and already plans to do another one in a few months in Las Vegas.
Now 90 pounds lighter and seven dress sizes smaller,* Holly says she was able to cut out toxic relationships along the way and realize that she was also her own biggest critic and needed to drop her negative self-talk. The dream board she has posted in her room features the toned, athletic physique of a fitness model (accomplished) and the goal to reach 5 Star Golden Circle (now at a 3 Star Golden Circle).
Crowned the 2010 IsaBody Challenge Grand Prize Winner and the first-ever female winner, Holly says she’s proud of what she’s accomplished and knows she’s on the pathway to accomplishing and creating even bigger dreams.
“My world has literally changed,” says Holly. “Everything that has happened has given me the confidence to do what I want and make it happen.”
