Today, we’d like to introduce you to Tina Doland . Tina was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Lynn Villemure.
Hi Tina, we’re so thrilled to have you sharing your story with us today. Maybe we can kick things off by having you introduce yourself to our readers? We’d love to have you go into your story and how you got to where you are today.
It took a long time for me to start my journey. I had been yo yo dieting for years been through multiple health problems Ive had double knee replacement, wrist and thumb reconstruction’s just to name a few got to a point that I had given up. Then one day I really saw myself in the mirror because I didn’t like what I saw how I felt inside and out. That was the day I realized I had to do this for me all the years of being told my drs there was nothing I could do because of genetics and aging I was tired of taking medication only for it not to work and I wanted to feel good. I may not be able to change my genetics or aging but I can control how I choose to take care of my body I initially wanted to prove all the negative people wrong. I started working with Lynn it was so hard at first she was there for me daily she helped me and gave me the tools to succeed both mentally and physically you can’t do one without the other and of course the best coach in the world! I learned it’s not about the number on the scale it fueling my body for optimal health and fitness as well as energy. I really thought in the beginning because it was so hard that I couldn’t do it but I committed to Lynn and putting myself first as the weeks went by I noticed my body was changing I was liking what I saw and was stronger healthier and leaner. I was so motivated by then just by how good I felt. I saw the dr and she was blown away I’d never had such amazing bloodwork before I am off all medication now and the dr said you did it you beat genetics but I told her no I took control of my health stopped sitting around waiting and did something to change. My journey is not over I will continue to improve and never look back. I thank god everyday for Lynn and her program. I am in the best shape of my life and it will only get better. I no longer get on the scale I use how my clothes fit and how I feel as my ultimate guide. This journey has taught me so much about myself I’m a better person inside and out and because of this I’m able to do more and take care of others. I can’t is not in my vocabulary I love who I see in that mirror now I have went from the beginning at a size 22 to now I’m at a solid 4, can’t wait to see what come next!
Let’s talk about your work and career – what else should we know?
I have always been a stay at home mom and wife. I’m a homemaker, I do all kinds of crafts and sewing I like to create. I am also a Mimi to my 5 year old granddaughter who I took care of the first 2 years of her life. I love helping others. I give with my whole heart
So, as we mentioned to our audience earlier, you were introduced to us by Lynn Villemure and we really admire them and what they’ve built. For folks who might not be as familiar, can you tell them a bit about your experience with Lynn.
I’ve known Lynn for years. The first time I saw her program I passed and that was because where I was personally I did feel I was worth the investment now fast forward a few years I saw her program again it kept popping up so something inside me gave me the push to contact her she sent me the information and told me it was a 90 day commitment told me what was expected and that day I decided it was exactly was I needed the commitment the discipline and work! So I signed up Oh my gosh at first it was overwhelming with all the information and getting organized but Lynn was right there for me she had my back. She guided me laid out the plan and as I started to eat nutritionally and started exercising she answered all my questions no matter how silly I thought they were she sent me videos so I knew how to properly do every exercise with proper form. Lynn also knew about my knee replacements my degenerative back and wrist/thumb reconstruction she told me to modify as I did as the weeks went by and I gained strength II was becoming better each day. There were times it took me longer to go through the exercises in the beginning but Lynn is all about proper form and that’s what sets her apart from everyone else!!!! I learned how all the years I wasn’t eating right was not exercising correctly and because I was making progress that why I gave up well by the end of the 90 days I signed on with Lynn I was a whole new person then I thought oh no my program is ending what now Lynn contacted me about continuing with her I said YES!!!! My journey has had some hard days but Lynn is an amazing coach and her knowledge and encouragement I am succeeding I learn something new every day. I love that Lynn is a no BS no excuses woman she’s tough but honest and truthfully know how to push even when you think you can’t she get you to dig a little deeper and before you know you have exceeded your expectations. Lynn has shown me the power inside at the same time it available for those times that it’s tough a warrior. My life before the program was almost over since the program I now look forward to getting stronger healthier version of myself! I am going to continue to grow and improve
