(MUSIC) GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY AND
WELCOME TO THE BALANCING ACT. WE ARE SO GLAD YOU JOINED US THIS
MORNING. I'M JULIE MORAN. AND I'M OLGA VILLAVERDE. TODAY
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HIGHER EDUCATION. REALLY IMPORTANT FOR
ME. IT'S SOMETHING WE ALL STRIVE FOR AND THESE DAYS WE REALLY CAN
ACHIEVE IT EVEN PAST OUR COLLEGE AGE.
YES WE CAN. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO FOLLOW UP
AND GET MY MASTERS. YOU'LL DO IT.
BUT I'M REALLY BUSY. BUT WE'RE GONNA SHOW YOU HOW YOU CAN DO IT
EVEN IF YOU'RE ON THE GO, YOU'RE A MOM, YOU'RE MARRIED, YOU'RE
WORKING YOU CAN DO IT. ABSOLUTELY. PLUS, MEET THE
NEWEST MEMBER OF THE MISSION MAKEOVER TEAM. FITNESS EXPERT
JAMIE EASON. YOU'RE GONNA LOVE HER. SHE'S SUCH A DOLL.
YEA, SHE'S GONNA BE ON THE SHOW TODAY. WE'VE GOT SO MUCH FOR
YOU. STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE. THE BALANCING ACT STARTS RIGHT
NOW. (MUSIC)
WHEN I SAY COLLEGE STUDENT WHAT IMAGE COMES TO MIND? IS IT A KID
IN THEIR TEENS EARLY TWENTIES WALKING ALONG A SCENIC CAMPUS?
WELL GUESS WHAT ABOUT EIGHTY PERCENT OF TODAY'S TYPICAL
COLLEGE STUDENTS LOOK JUST LIKE YOU AND ME. ADULTS WITH JOBS AND
FAMILIES AND A DESIRE TO ACHIEVE MORE. EIGHTY PERCENT, WHAT A
STATISTIC AND JOINING US TO TALK ABOUT THIS NEW REALITY IN HIGHER
EDUCATION IS COREY GORDON FROM NORTHERN ARIZON UNIVERSITY. IT'S
SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU IN STUDIO TODAY.
THANKS JULIE. IT'S NICE TO BE HERE.
YOU KNOW COREY, I WANT TO START OFF BY ASKING ABOUT THIS
INCREDIBLE TREND. I MEAN WHY ARE SO MANY ADULTS GOING BACK TO
COLLEGE. YOU KNOW QUIT SIMPLY, IT'S A
SIGN OF THE TIMES. ANYMORE TO GET A JOB YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT
COLLEGE CREDENTIAL. SO PEOPLE WHO MAYBE MISSED THE BACHELORS
DEGREE IN THE FIRST ROUND ARE FIGHTING TO GET THE ADVANCEMENT
THAT THEY WANT IN THEIR JOBS. THEY HAVE TO GO BACK AND GET THE
DEGREE. SOMETIMES ITS JUST A YOU KNOW PERSONAL FULFILLMENT.
YOU KNOW, TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND WHAT
HAS CHANGED YOU KNOW GOING FORWARD WITH YOU KNOW ONLINE
EDUCATION. WELL AS YOU SAID AT THE
BEGINNING WE ALWAYS PICTURE THAT 18 TO 22 YEAR OLD AS THAT'S THE
COLLEGE AGE STUDENT BUT ANY MORE THAT STUDENTS THE MINORITY. THAT
IS EIGHTY PERCENT OF STUDENTS NOW ARE NON TRADITIONAL. THEIR
ABOVE 25 THEY HAVE JOBS THEY HAVE FAMILIES THEY HAVE
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEIR TRYING TO BALANCE AND MEAN WHILE
TRYING TO GET A COLLEGE DEGREE AT THE SAME TIME.
SO WHAT TYPE OF EDUCATION ARE THESE QUOTE NON TRADITIONAL
STUDENTS TURNING TO? WELL THEY'RE LOOKING FOR ONLINE
DEGREES, BUT ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH ONLINE DEGREES ANYMORE IS
THAT THERE STILL A TIME ELEMENT WHERE YOU HAVE TO BE ONLINE AT
THIS TIME AND YOU HAVE TO DO THIS BY THIS DATE AND SO THOSE
WORKING ADULTS THAT ARE JUGGLING SO MANY OTHER THINGS ALREADY ARE
FINDING THAT'S KINDA HARD EVEN TO DO WHAT'S NOW BECOMING
TRADITIONAL ONLINE. SO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THINGS THAT ARE A
LITTLE BIT MORE SELF PACED, THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THINGS THAT
ARE MORE FLEXIBLE AND GIVE THEM SOME ON HOW THEY ARE COMPLETING
THEIR WORK. NOW TELL ME IS THERE A
DIFFERENCE OR HAVE YOU SEEN A DIFFERENCE IN THE EARNING
POTENTIAL BETWEEN THOSE WITH A DEGREE AND THOSE WITHOUT A
DEGREE. ABSOLUTELY. IN A RECENT STUDY IN
FACT THEY FOUND THAT A PERSON THAT HAS A BACHELORS DEGREE WILL
MAKE ABOUT $15,000 MORE THEN SOMEBODY WITH AN ASSOCIATES
DEGREE AND A BACHELORS DEGREE WILL GET SOMEBODY $17,000 MORE A
YEAR THEN SOMEBODY WITH A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA.
COREY, I KNOW NORTHERN ARIZONA IS HISTORICALLY KNOWN AS ONE OF
THE EARLY PIONEERS OF DISTANCE EDUCATION. TELL ME A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THAT. WE ARE. IN FACT ONE OF MY
FAVORITE STORIES ABOUT NORTHERN ARIZONA UNIVERSITY IS BACK IN
THE 80'S UM ARIZONA IS A HUGE STATE AND ANU'S MISSION IS TO
BRING EDUCATION TO THE STUDENT. SO WE WOULD ACTUALLY FLY
PROFESSORS OUT. WE OWNED TWO PROPELLER PLANES AND THEY WOULD
FLY PROFESSORS OUT TO THE MOST REMOTE PARTS OF THE STATE TO
BRING LITERALLY EDUCATION RIGHT TO THEM AND IN THE 90'S ANU WAS
DOING DISTANCE EDUCATION AND ONLINE EDUCATION BEFORE MOST
UNIVERSITIES WOULD EVEN CONSIDER TRYING IT. AND THEN NOW WE ARE
ONE OF THE FIRST STATE UNIVERSITIES, THE FIRST PUBLIC
STATE UNIVERSITY TO OFFER A BACHELORS DEGREE PROGRAM THROUGH
A COMPETENCY BASED MODEL WHERE STUDENTS CAN WORK RATHER THEN
THROUGH COURSES THEY WORK ON LESSONS AND INTERDISCIPLINARY
MODULES. SO WHAT'S THE LATEST TREND IN
ONLINE EDUCATION FOR TODAY'S NON TRADITIONAL STUDENT?
WE HAVE DEVELOPED A PROGRAM THAT WE CALL PERSONALIZED LEARNING.
AND IT IS A SELF PACED COMPETENCY BASED PROGRAM AND SO
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY TRY TO HONOR AND CELEBRATE IS
ALL THE EXPERIENCE THAT PEOPLE BRING WITH THEM TO THE
CLASSROOM. THESE ADULT STUDENTS HAVE BEEN WORKING AND THEY'VE
BEEN OUT IN THE REAL WORLD QUOTE ON QUOTE...
RIGHT... SO THEY BRING ALL THIS
EXPERIENCE TO THEIR CLASSROOM AND WE WANT TO GIVE THEM A
CHANCE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE SO THEY CAN
ACTUALLY TEST OUT OF MATERIAL IF THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE OR UM CAN
DEMONSTRATE THEIR COMPETENCY AND INFORMATION. SO THEY WORK RIGHT
THROUGH THE LESSONS AT THEIR OWN PACE AND THEY'RE NOT DEPENDENT
ON ANOTHER STUDENT GETTING THE CONCEPT AS SOON AS THEY'VE GOT
IT AND THEY CAN SHOW THEY UNDERSTAND IT, THEY MOVE ON.
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. SO WITH THE COMPETENCY BASED
PROGRAM YOU CAN PICK AND CHOOSE RIGHT? AND YOU CAN GO AT YOUR
OWN PACE AND YOU CAN AS YOU SAY LIKE (CLICKING SOUNC) ALMOST
HALF THE TIME GET AS MUCH DONE. ABSOLUTELY THEY'RE ABLE TO WORK
WHEN THEY HAVE TIME, WHEN THEY PUT THEIR KIDS TO BED, THEY'RE
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS THAT HAVE SOME COLLEGE DEGREE OR SOME
COLLEGE CREDITS BUT NO DEGREE. SO SOMETHING LIKE PERSONALIZED
LEARNING GIVES STUDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRANSFER IN ALOT
OF THE WORK AND THEN DEMONSTRATE WHAT THEY KNOW AS WELL AS THEY
MOVE THRU THESE PERSONALIZED SELF PACED MODULES. YOU KNOW IF
A TRADITIONAL STUDENT WOULD DO THIRTY CREDITS WORKING FULL TIME
IN A YEAR... RIGHT
WE HAVE STUDENTS WHO ARE ACTUALLY DOING BETWEEN 50 AND 60
CREDITS AND THOSE ARE OUR SELF MADE MOTIVATED REALLY SELF
PROPELLING STUDENTS. TELL ME ABOUT ESPECIALLY FOR THE
ONLINE STUDENTS, YOUR ADVICE ON COST.
OHHH YOU SHOULD BE VERY AWARE OF THE COSTS. UM ANU DOES HAVE OUR
TRADITIONAL RESIDENTIAL CAMPUS AND THAT WORKS THE SAME AS MOST
STATE CAMPUSES WHERE YOU'LL HAVE AN IN STATE TUITION AND YOU'LL
HAVE AN OUT OF STATE TUITION. ARE ONLINE PROGRAMS WORK THE
SAME BUT IN OUR COMPETENCY BASED PROGRAM WE ACTUALLY HAVE ONE
FLAT RATE FOR OUR STUDENTS, $2,500 FOR ALL YOU CAN LEARN IN
SIX MONTHS IS THE WAY WE LIKE TO THINK OF IT...
WOW! AND THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING.
THAT INCLUDES THEIR UM ENTRANCE FEES, IT INCLUDES THEIR LAB
FEES, IT INCLUDES THEIR BOOKS. SO FLAT FEE $2,500 AND YOU'VE
GOT FULL ACCESS TO THE PROGRAM. WOW, YOU'RE REALLY GETTING ALOT
FROM YOUR MONEY THERE. ABSOLUTELY. AND THAT'S WHY
YOU'RE IN STATE OR YOU'RE OUT OF STATE.
THAT'S AMAZING. YOU KNOW IT'S GREAT TO KNOW WITH EVEN TODAY'S
DEMANDS YOU CAN REALLY GET A QUALITY EDUCATION. THANKS FOR
COMING IN AND SHARING. THIS WAS A GREAT RESOURCE, GREAT
INFORMATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE. ALRIGHT SO HOW ABOUT YOU. ARE YOU READY
TO FINALLY HEAD BACK TO CLASS? WELL HEAD TO
THEBALANCINGACT.COM TO FIND OUT HOW AND DON'T FORGET TO JOIN US
ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER. (MUSIC)
HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THAT MUSIC HAS ALMOST MAGICAL POWERS OVER
US? IT CAN INSTANTLY REMIND OF US OF SOMEONE SPECIAL OR
TRANSPORT US TO ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME. FOR CHILDREN, MUSIC
CAN BE ESPECIALLY POWERFUL. NOW THE ONLY THING BETTER THEN MUSIC
IS GIVING THE GIFT OF MUSIC ESPECIALLY AROUND THE HOLIDAYS.
AND HERE TO EXPLAIN IS ANN ETUB FROM MUSIC AND ARTS. GOOD
MORNING. GOOD MORNING.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. THANKS FOR HAVING US.
MUSIC IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME. I GREW UP WITH MUSIC AROUND ME,
MY KIDS HAVE GROWN UP WITH IT, FOR US IT'S EXTREMELY PRECIOUS
AND FOR MANY TOO. OH ABSOLUTELY, YOU KNOW I CAN
REMEMBER AS YOUNG AS WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD SITTING WITH MY
DAD AT THE PIANO JUST BUILDING THOSE MEMORIES AND EXPERIENCE
MUSIC FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT'S SO SPECIAL. AND THE COOLEST
THING IS THAT IT'S UNIQUE TO ALL OF US IT REALLY HELPS BUILD OUR
MUSICAL IDENTITY, OUR OWN IDENTITY AND YOU KNOW JUST
REALLY CREATES AMAZING MEMORIES. AND LETS TALK ABOUT MUSIC AND
ARTS. WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT? YEA, UM YOU KNOW HONESTLY WHERE
A HIDDEN SECRET. WE'VE BEEN AROUND FOR ALMOST SIXTY YEARS
NOW. UM WE'RE EVERYTHING FROM RENTING INSTRUMENTS TO GIVING
YOU MUSIC LESSONS. UM HONESTLY WE'RE A ONE STOP SHOP IF YOU'RE
LOOKING TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT. WE'RE REALLY THERE
FOR EVERYTHING MUSICAL IN YOUR LIFE.
AND I LOVE THE NAME MUSIC AND ARTS BECAUSE I THINK OF MY KIDS
AND SCHOOLS AND ALOT OF THEM ARE UNFORTUNATELY YOU KNOW JUST
GETTING RID OF THE MUSIC AND THE ARTS AND I THINK IT'S REALLY SAD
CAUSE I STILL FIND IT TO BE VITAL FOR THEM.
ABSOLUTELY. HONESTLY, I CAN'T IMAGINE A TIME WHEN I WAS IN
SCHOOL AND I DIDN'T HAVE MUSIC TO HELP ME THRU WHAT I WAS GOING
THRU OR EVEN JUST YOU KNOW SCHOOL IN GENERAL. UM BUT THE
AMAZING THING ABOUT MUSIC AND ARTS IS THAT WE HAVE A HUGE
NETWORK OF EDUCATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES. THEY GO OUT
INTO THE SCHOOLS, THEY WORK WITH EDUCATORS, THEIR SOLE JOB IS TO
HELP KEEP MUSIC ALIVE IN SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND THAT'S HONESTLY THE
BACK BONE OF WHAT WE DO. AND I'M GONNA BE VERY PERSONAL
HERE BECAUSE WHEN MY LITTE ONE WAS HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF A
PROBLEM WITH COMPREHENSION SOMEONE ACTUALLY TOLD ME TO GET
HER INTO MUSIC AND SHE NOW PLAYS THE PIANO BY EAR AND IT'S
ACTUALLY HELPED HER FOCUS MORE ON READING.
YES, MUSIC IS SUCH UM AN AMAZING MEMORY TOOL. IT HELPS YOU WITH
ACADEMICS, IT HELPS WITH SELF CONFIDENCE, UM JUST THE BENEFITS
WITH IT ARE AMAZING. AND SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT MUSIC
IS WE AS A FAMILY LOVE MUSIC AND DURING THE HOLIDAYS I'LL GET MY
GUITAR BECAUSE I DO PLAY THE GUITAR AND NOT AS WELL AS BEFORE
AND MY DAUGHTER PLAYS THE PIANO. MY MOM PLAYS THE PIANO AND YOU
CAN SEE US THERE HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME. AND IT REALLY
JUST BRINGS US TOGETHER AS A FAMILY. MORE UNITED.
YEA DURING THE HOLIDAYS IS ACTUALLY A GREAT EXAMPLE. I MEAN
I REMEMBER UM YOU KNOW AS A KID OBVIOUSLY I LIKE WHEN I PLAYED
WITH MY DAD WE WOULD HAVE FUNCTIONS AND WE WOULD PLAY
TOGETHER AND YOU KNOW IF YOUR NOT MUSICAL OR EVEN IF YOU ARE
YOU CAN STILL APPRECIATE IT, YOU CAN STILL ENJOY IT. UMM AND JUST
THE MEMORIES IT BUILDS AND THE FEELINGS IT BUILDS INSIDE YOU
ARE SO SPECIAL THAT YOU'LL YOU'LL CARRY IT TILL YOUR WELL
IN YOUR 70S ARE 80S IT LIVES WITH YOU FOREVER.
AND WHAT'S WONDERFUL TOO, FOR THE HOLIDAYS IS TO GIVE THE GIFT
OF MUSIC. ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE ASKING ME SOMETIMES WHAT DO I
GIVE MY NIECE, MY NEPHEWS, BUY THEM AN INSTRUMENT.
YEA, ABSOLUTELY. DURING THIS TIME OF YEAR WE SEE FAMILIES
COMING IN AND LOOKING FOR THAT SPECIAL GIFT AND THE GREAT THING
IS YOU KNOW ON TOP OF SELLING INSTRUMENTS IF YOU'RE NOT READY
TO INVEST COMPLETELY WE HAVE A RENTAL PROGRAM WHEERE YOU CAN
YOU KNOW TRY OUT DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS IF YOU WANT TO.
THERE'S A GREAT EXCHANGE OPTION WITH OUR PLAN. WE REALLY WANT TO
HELP GIVE PEOPLE THAT GIFT. WELL I WANT YOU TO GIVE ME THAT
GIFT THIS MORNING SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY FOR ME?

CAREER, ALRIGHT I WANT YOU TO TELL US ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND. I
KNOW YOUR A WRITER, A BLOGGER, A FITNESS EXPERT, A MOM, A CANCER
SURVIVOR AND SO MUCH MORE. WELL YOU KNOW WHAT'S FUNNY CAUSE
I NEVER ANTICIPATED HAVING A CAREER IN FITNESS. IT WAS NOT
EVEN ON MY RADAR BUT AS LIFE HAPPENS TO MANY OF US I ACTUALLY
FOUND MYSELF WITH BREAST CANCER IN MY TWENTIES AND YEA, I'D
ALWAYS BENN ACTIVE BUT I WAS NEVER, I NEVER REALLY WATCHED
WHAT I ATE AND I NEVER REALLY EXERCISED REGULARLY. IT WAS JUST
KIND OF YOU KNOW AS KIDS YOU KNOW LIKE HOW WE DO ALL THE
TIME. SO ANYWAY WHEN THAT HAPPENED IT WAS REALLY EYE
OPENING AND I THOUGHT I NEED TO START PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT
I'M PUTTING IN MY BODY. AND I REALLY I JUST REALLY I WAS LIKE
A SPONGE. I STARTED ABSORBING ALL OF THE THINGS I WAS LEARNING
AND I GOT EXCTED ABOUT IT AND I LEFT A CAREER THAT WAS UM A
GREAT CAREER AND MY PARENTS THOUGHT I WAS NUTS BUT UM IT'S
BEEN SO FULFILLING. SO IT'S LIKE A REALLY BAD SITUATION THAT
TURNED INTO THE BEST CAREER I COULD EVER IMAGINE. SO I DIDN'T
I DIDN'T WANT TO EVER GET CANCER AGAIN. I'M CANCER FREE AND
THAT'S THAT'S BEEN REALLY THE SCARIEST THING IN MY LIFE THAT
TURNED INTO THE BIGGEST BLESSING OF MY LIFE CAUSE I LOVE FITNESS.
I NOW TRY TO EDUCATE PEOPLE, I LOVE TRYING TO MOTIVATE THEM TO
MAKE CHANGES IN THEIR OWN LIFE AND UM IT'S REALLY BEEN A
FANTASTIC CAREER. AND I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE TO WHERE I
CAN SHARE SOME OF THE THINGS I'VE LEARNED WITH THE LADIES.
AND JAMIE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT ABOUT YOU AND I WANT OUR VIEWERS
TO KNOW THIS, YOU WERE NAMED FITTEST MODEL
YEA! HELLO! (LAUGHTER)
YOU'VE GOT THE SIX PACK GOING? YEA.
OH YEA. THEN I DID.
(LAUGHTER) I'LL TELL YA, YEA SHE DOES.
THEN WELL, AH THANK YOU. I WAS I WAS IN GOOD SHAPE AT THE TIME
WHEN I WON THAT TITLE. SO THAT'S BEEN A PRETTY NEAT TITLE THAT I
CAN KIND OF YOU KNOW PUT OUT THERE NOW AND THEN. I'LL BE 40
SOON AND ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALLY EVER REALIZE THAT AND I I
REALLY OWE THAT I THINK TO LIFTING WEIGHTS. AND I FOUND
THAT ALOT OF WOMEN ARE INTIMIDATED BY THAT, BUT UM
BEING THE FITEST MODEL IT'S NOW MADE ME, I'M MORE OF AN ADVOCATE
FOR IT BECAUSE WOMEN SEE THE CHANGE. I WASN'T OUT OF SHAPE
PER SAY OR OVER WEIGHT, I JUST DIDN'T LOOK UM, I I WASN'T AS
LEAN, FIT AND HEALTHY LOOKING. SO I LOVE TO SAY THAT IN MY 20S
I I THINK NOW ALMOST 40 I LOOK BETTER THEN I DID IN MY 20S.
YEA WE LIKE THAT! YEA
WE LIKE THAT. ALL WOMEN CAN INSPIRE TO THAT.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT... IT'S GOOD TO KNOW.
ALL WOMEN CAN DO IT. THAT'S THE THING THAT I WANT WOMEN TO
REALIZE TOO IS DON'T BE INTIMIDATED. YOU'VE GOT MORE
STRENGTH THEN YOU REALIZE, YOU KNOW IF YOU JUST DO A, B AND C
THERE'S NO MYSTERY BEHIND IT. YOU KNOW THERE'S SO MUCH
MIS-INFORMATION OUT THERE, THERE'S ACTUALLY TOO MUCH
INFORMATION OUT THERE ABOUT IT AND I THINK THAT WE'RE HERE FOR
THESE WOMEN ESPECIALLY TO DEMYSTIFY IT. AND JUST GIVING
THEM SOMETHING SIMPLE TO FOLLOW AND HELP THEM REALIZE THEY CAN
DO THIS. YOU ARE JOING OUR TEAM AND YOU
ARE GOING TO BE A CHEERLEADER, AN EXPERT, A COACH FOR THESE
GIRLS. WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS?
I EXPECT THE LADIES TO WORK HARD AND I KNOW THEY'RE UP TO THE
CHALLENGE. THEY'VE REALLY EXPRESSED THAT THIS IS IT.
THEY'RE READY FOR THAT LIFE CHANGE. NO GOING BACK. SOME OF
THEM HAVE SOME CRAZY STORIES. SOME BIG MOUNTAINS THAT THEY'VE
CLIMBED AND UM MY HEART REALLY GOES OUT TO SOME OF THEM CAUSE I
FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY'VE WANTED FOR SO LONG AND
THEY JUST HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO IT BUT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER AND
INCREDIBLE TEAM FOR THEM. THEY'VE GOT AN AMAZING TRAINER,
THEY'VE GOT A THERAPIST THAT'S REALLY GONNA HELP THEM GET PAST
THOSE ISSUES THAT THEY FEEL LIKE ARE HOLDING THEM BACK AND WE'VE
ALSO GOT A GREAT NUTRITIONIST CAUSE FOOD, I KNOW PERSONALLY,
IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS.
AND I LOVE HOW YOU'RE GOING TO HELP THESE WOMEN WHO HAVE
STRUGGLED WITH THEIR WEIGHT AND IT'S NOT JUST THEM. THERE ARE SO
MANY WOMENOUT THERE THAT WILL BE WATCHING THAT YOU WILL BE
HELPING AS WELL. AWW I HOPE SO. I THINK THESE
