If you have ever watched the movie, "What about Bob" you will understand this concept completely. In the movie a very neurotic Bill Murray goes to a psychiatrist and needs helps with just about every aspect of his life. The smart psychiatrist gives the patient a copy of his book and tells him that he needs to take "baby steps" Baby step to the door, baby step to the elevator. With this approach the man is able to go through his daily life's activities.
With this thought in mind, we need to approach our life style changes. We cannot change our diet, our exercise plan, our family, our thoughts all in one felled swoop. We need to look at each aspect and take it a "baby step" at a time. After we conquer one portion we can baby step to the next and slay that dragon. Before you know it the entire process will seem natural and success will be ours.
This thought is written especially to and for my friend Tammi who is beginning her own Phit and Phabulous transformation. I know it can be a bit scary but we will "Baby Step" through it together.
What is your next baby step?

Introduction
My name is Kathleen and in 2006, as a non athletic mother of two and seeing the age of 40 looming on the horizon, I decided that it was time to finally get fit and healthy. I had tried several times in the past and would lose some weight only to quickly regain it, and more.
I had tried Weight Watchers several times before but never made it to the elusive Lifetime status. In 2007, I joined again and was determined that this time would be different, it had to be. During my first few weeks I found a fantastic personal trainer at Phit-n-Phat.com and through Corinne’s awesome workout plans I was able to accomplish my dream of losing over 50 lbs and greater than that, 56 inches. I even ran my first half marathon in Las Vegas.
It was during my maintenance period at Weight Watchers that I decided I wanted to help people lose weight and more importantly, set and reach goals that they never dreamed they could do. I became a Weight Watchers leader in the fall of 2007. In 2008, I studied and became an ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer and started Phit4Life.
