Carol Severson

Carol Severson wasn't always a T-Tapp Inch Loss Success Story. She was your average run of the mill wife, mom and oh by the way, state advocate for home schooling for the state of Illinois. Her schedule was jam-packed between home schooling her 3 children still in school and traveling for speaking engagements about home schooling on the weekends. Factor in spending hours on the phone each day doing curriculum counseling with other home schooling moms and she just didn't have much time. She had packed a substantial amount of weight onto her originally tiny 5'0" frame and was almost bursting out of a size 14. Carol Severson wasn't very happy with what she saw in the mirror anymore or about the way she felt tired and exhausted all the time. She desperately wanted to change.
...
Carol has always been an active voice on this forum encouraging everyone that THEY can be the next success story if they just follow the program that Teresa designed for them!
...
After her success story was posted on the website, Carol started receiving a few emails from Tappers asking her to help them be "accountable" for exercising. They felt that if they had her in their corner rooting them on and pushing them when they needed it, that it would be easier.
...
Part Drill Sergeant, part Mommy, Carol has pestered, nagged, prodded and guilted people into keeping their commitments. Along the way, a few have fallen off the bandwagon for one reason or another but surprisingly, they always come back to the group. If you ask a Habit Former WHY they do it the answers will vary in many ways, but the one answer that is constant is "because they don't want to let their Sister Habit Formers down by not fulfilling their commitment to exercise the T-Tapp way". In their minds, they are all in this together and if one succeeds, they all succeed! Best of all there is no jealously or petty squabbles - just unconditional love and support for each other. To a person, they credit their continuing success to Teresa Tapp for creating a fitness program that works regardless of age or fitness level and to Carol Severson for helping them become success stories or, at the very least, success stories in progress.
...
What exactly does Carol do? Well, the Habit Formers have their own portion of the forum at the T-Tapp website now. Every day each Habit Former "checks in" on the forum to let everyone know if they have accomplished their goal for that day. Carol monitors everything and then posts a "naughty list" of those Habit Formers who haven't yet checked in. "There are days that I just plain wouldn't exercise if I didn't KNOW that Carol would have me on the naughty list at the end of the day. It definitely does keep me accountable" one Habit Former explains. Another says that she "can't believe the amount of time and energy Carol puts into doing this when she doesn't get paid for it.
...
When Carol asked her if they could all have T-Shirts made that said they had completed a 90-Day Challenge of Habit Formers, Teresa said sure - but not only that.....Teresa would like to host a reunion for the Habit Formers!
...
Because of Teresa Tapp, the T-Tapp workout, Carol Severson and the Habit Formers, these ladies have a new lease on life and a whole new set of friends.
...
Oh, by the way, Carol was certified as a T-Tapp Trainer in front of and to the delight of her biggest fan club, the Habit Formers.
...
Carol doesn't take any "wienie" excuses! She helps you make sure to put your health & fitness at a higher priority than you did before. She helps you MAKE time & a lot of ladies are getting fit because of it. Thank you Carol!
...
Habit Formers is a great community of fellow exercisers and Carol is definitely our leader.
...
Carol is not only a great mentor but also an inspiration. Her energy is contagious and she honestly cares about every single lady who have committed to HFs.

FAST FORWARDCarol Severson is now a slim 100 lbs wearing a size 0 and she credits it all to Teresa Tapp, creator of the cutting-edge at-home fitness program called T-Tapp.Once she set her mind to it, it was easy - basically.

Carol has been instrumental in keeping me consistent with my exercise.It helps so much to know that she cares and that she is keeping track of all of our workouts.There have been many days when I didn't want to work out at all and probably wouldn't but I didn't want to have to get on Carol's list so I made myself get up and work out anyway and I am always SO glad that I did.Habit Formers is a great community of fellow exercisers and Carol is definitely our leader."
