This post is long overdue, but I wanted to extend a warm welcome to the adventurers who all started their journey this week! @Sue Theisen @Heather Truax @Pat Snider @Patricia Mccarthy @Janet Lomastro @Angelia M Bernard @Lori Snyder @marsha watson @Jeanne Tyo-Martin @Stacey Howlett @David Fisher @Caroline Dodge I'm so excited for this group. All of you have so much to gain, so much to learn, and such delightful personalities! I cannot wait to see what the coming weeks and months will bring for your health and strength!!!

@Krista Fuller has been with Bjorn for 2.5 years and she has been through a LOT. In that time she’s lost 50 lbs and she’s removed 10 inches from her waist. But that isn’t all— she started working out on her own time, she powered through MONTHS of recovery from a knee surgery, and she regained a massive range of motion in her leg that was once lost. Krista was an example of how much dedication to a goal and direct coaching could help you. But here’s the thing, my goal with each of you is that you’ll no longer need me. Krista has come forward and said, “I’m ready for the next step in my journey” and I couldn’t be more excited for her. In truth, none of us want her to leave Bjorn, but she’s not leaving early, she is ABSOLUTELY ready for the next step. This is a moment to be proud of, and I can’t wait to hear how much stronger she becomes in the coming months and years. We love you Krista, and you will be dearly missed.

I'm so excited to introduce the next group of wonderful people who've taken up the courage to get started on their goals of being healthier. Please welcome @Linda LaRue, @Marsha Akins, @Jen Harper, @Mother Sophronia Hofstead, @Christine Daggett, @Jo Ann Zenger, @Terry Lewis, @Donna Hall, and @Kathy Del Guidice to our adventure! The road ahead will be difficult, but you will get stronger with each day and those who fall in love with the journey get the most rewards in the end!

We will be adding segments to is as the weeks go on, but we wanted to make sure the essential barbell lifts were uploaded before noon today. Stay tuned, there is sooooo much more to come!

@Susan Dodds is the Hero of Yule 2026! She won a $300 airbnb gift card and if your Shapesmith is Maire, Joe, or Tyler then you will be getting the Hero of Yule t-shirts. Thank you to everyone who came to our party today. It meant the world to me to see you all.
