    Mom, I know you will probably read this so I just wanted to say again that you are the best! I have never met a more thoughtful person. You are so caring, compassionate and fun! I am also so proud of you. You have lost all that weight so that you are healthier. I love you very much and hope you have a great mother’s day! Happy mother’s day to all of the other mothers out there!

    I love all that Talltrainer teaches me about nutrition and exercise and living a balanced life! I strive more daily! My mom is no longer alive I wish I could’ve taken some of her arthritic pain away and done more activities with her- like when we were younger. I am doing my best to live longer so that I can be here for my four gorgeous grown children! Happy Mothers Day all!

    I love being a mother and I learned a great deal during my 9 weeks at Talltrainer. I have realized that I not only learned how to make healthy food choices (with great results) but my children have learned from they choices I have made as well. They have seen the positive physical as well as emotional results achieved by accepting guidance and taking control. My daughter loves to play teacher and she has made a boot camp in our basement and is now my talltriainer (fabulous!). I thank you all for helping me to be a healthier mom to my kids, which will utimately help them in their future!

    I thank God for my mom every day and am so blessed that I was raised in a Christian home, Although dementia has claimed many of her memories, her smile is still there each time I visit.

    I also thank Jeremy, Sarah & Bo, for helping me be a healthier Mom for my family. Love you all.

    (Happy 1st Mother’s Day Sarah.)

    I have been thinking about Sarah and her first almost-Mothers Day. Being a Mom is the greatest blessing! I am so excited for Sarah (and Jeremy) to enter the wonderful and humbling world of parenting.

    This day is for all women who are mom’s, and to those who have been like mothers to others! I admired my Mom so much growing up, working all day and coming home to take care of us kids, cooking, cleaning. Today my mom’s health is failing, she is a brittle diabetic, her knees and feet are in bad shape. I pray everyday that she could be healthier, She sees how much i have changed doing bootcamp for 2 1/2 years. She is making small changes, And I thank everyone at Bootcamp for their support and encouragement. I want to also thank my daughters for making me feel special all the time. So Happy Mother’s day to all!

    I’m a mom and I am very happy my 10 year old chose water over soda yesterday! I want to teach him healthy habits he will keep with him into adulthood. Happy Mother’s Day to everyone out there who loves and appreciates all that their mom’s have taught them!

    In the past year I have taken my health back. I have lost almost 100 pounds and ran a 5K. This is the best gift I could have given myself and my family.

    Mothers Day is a happy and sad day for me. I am happy because I am a mom to 3 wonderful boys. And they definatly keep me going…..crazy sometimes……but going :) And I love them dearly.
    It makes me sad because I loss my mom unexpectedly 16 years ago, but it feels as if it were just the other day.
    I spend my Mothers Day afternoons at the cemetary getting it all cleaned up and pretty for the summer. I know she’s listening as I talk to her and laugh and cry while there. And I know she loves the way it looks when I’m all done,both her and Grandma. You see she is buried on the same site as her mother, she was her youngest daughter and had her put there when my mom passed. Now that is a mothers love!!
    My mom passed at a young age of 52, I didn’t think much about being healthy myself back then at 32. But realize now how very important it is for me and for my husband and boys future feelings. I want them to have me around to drive them crazy for many more years.
    So too my wonderful loving mother who I remember working many hours and sacrificed many things so I could have the childhood I had, I Thank You with all my heart and soul and miss you so so very much today and always. Sending you lots of hugs and kisses oooxxx

    My mom lost her battle with cancer many years ago and is still missed today. I admired and respected her. She was very healthy and active all of our lives. She was able to ski into her mid 60′s, ride bikes, play tennis and swim several times a week, until the cancer began taking it’s toll. I want to be active with my children and grandchildren. I know that I can once I am healthier and lighter. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom

    My mom would have celebrated her 99th birthday last Thursday. I still miss her very much, but have many treasured memories.

    I’d like to share a poem I wrote for her 60th birthday, so please bear with me as I honor her memory on this Mother’s Day.

    Who Is This Mother of Mine?

    This mother of mine is the mother of nine!
    A job so well done, we think it just fine.

    Oh mother of mine, how did you find the time
    To show each of us true love and respect,
    And yet never neglect one single whine,
    Even tho’ you’d have nine at one time?

    Oh mother of mine I remember those times
    You shared with just me!
    Like the time I banged my knee, you sat and comforted me.
    Then all it took was that silly old book (Shaggy Dog)
    To mend the torn knee.

    This mother of mine, there’s none other you’ll find
    Whose as generous and kind and devotes all her time
    To mother all nine.

    Dear mother of mine, I’d like at this time
    To thank you for just being you;
    And I thank God, too, for giving us you!
    To spend with just me and yet mother all nine?

    Thanks Jeremy & Sarah for teaching moms & grand-moms a healthy lifestyle and giving us a new lease on life through fitness & nutrition.

    I always knew how amazing my mommy was…. But I never truly grasped her genius, wonderfulness, amazingness, awesomeness and all the other words I can make up…. Until I had children!
    Now she helps me raise my precious babies and I get to see how much she loves me and how much more she loves them!
    Ahhh… The circle of life and family! Love you mom!!!!

    I am so blessed to be a mother to two wonderful boys, and I love them so much! This mother’s day I got a card that my 8 year old made in school, that brought me to tears. He had to finish a couple of sentences, the first was “Mom, I love when you….. ride your bike with me.” and the second was “My favorite thing to do with you is….. play tag at the park.” Now to almost anyone, those two things, riding a bike and playing tag, wouldn’t seem like a big deal, however, I was not able to do those things a year ago with my boys. Thanks to 11 consecutive months (currently in my 11th month) at Tall Trainer boot camp, I have lost 80 pounds, and life is so good! I am in the most physically fit I have ever been in my life, and I can’t ever imagine my life with out boot camp. I pray that I am around a long time with my family, and I am doing all that I can to make sure I live a healthier life!
    However seeing the change in my life makes me scared for my own mother, who I love so very very much. I want her to be here on this earth with me forever. I can’t even begin or want to begin to imagine life without her. She has recently begun her own weight loss journey and I am so proud of her. My siblings and I all worry about her health so much. She is a wonderful mother to 9 children, and an even more wonderful grandmother to 24 (yes, I said 24) grand children. She is pretty much the only grand parent that my boys have, and they absolutely adore her. So I just want my mother to remember that it is such a hard and never ending journey to go on, but so worth the trip!! I still struggle with craving unhealthy foods, and I know I always will, but it’s something we can overcome to be the healthiest we can be for our families. I love you so much mom, and I hope you know that!! I am here for you and support you in your journey so much, and so do the rest of your kids (and grand kids)! We all want you here for a long time!

    I don’t know where I would be without the love, support, and encouragement that my Mom gives me on a daily basis. God blessed me with one amazing mother!

    I am very blessed to still have my mom and she is a wonderfully strong woman with all that she’s been through and accomplished in her life. I am a product of her believing in me. I have amazing children and am proud of each one. And yes, I am Jeremy’s mom and Sarah’s “other mom” and am so thankful to them for helping me. I am so blessed to be able to do physically what I can do now. I was not always fit and healthy. It’s such a worthwhile journey, and I will not deny that it was challenging. I still continue on this journey after maintaining my weight for over 5 years. I want to be healthy and strong to lift my grandchildren when they want to be picked up, play with them on the floor (without worrying about how I’m getting back up) and be around when they graduate high school and begin lives of their own. I know I will be proud of them and want them to know it – because I’ll be there to tell them. I will continue working hard to stay strong and healthy. (If my name gets picked randomly, please find a deserving mom that needs to get healthy like I did.) I want to encourage all the mom’s out there and those who are like mom’s to others, to love yourselves enough to continue working hard for those that count on you and love you. You know it’s worth it!

    I am truly blessed to have three wonderful children and the cutest grandchild I could ever hope for. I want to stay healthy for all of them and be able to keep up with my grandson! My Mom passed away many years ago and I so wish she were here to see how my family has grown although I’m sure she’s looking down on us smiling. I want to set a good example of how great grandmothers can be!

    I just spent a wonderful weekend with my mother and was reminded that not only am I trying to be a good role model for my own kids by making health choices but for my Mom too! I want my mother to be alive and healthy for decades to come! so we can continue to love and support each other. Thanks you tall trainer for pushing me to do more and be better.
