WOW! It's been a busy time. SizeXchange.com has been officially launched for 13 DAYS and I'm ready for some new (previously loved) clothes. Since I lost 50 pounds all the clothes that fit are mostly summer clothes, capris and short sleeves. A month from now it will be time for long pants, warmer shirts and ugh! covered shoes. I'm ready for some serious swapping! Big shout out to all our new members! I encourage you to get involved, jump in. If you need help, view the video tutorials, call or email. Our trained staff will be glad to help.Remember you get a bonus 20 points when you list 5 items in your first two weeks. Instantly available for grabbing those fun finds you're watching.

 For families with school age children, September is like starting a new year. New schedules require new routines, new sleep patterns and new disciplines. It’s a great time for setting new goals. I am starting my 3rd round of my weight loss protocol. I have 30 pounds to my goal. I hope this time has been a smooth transition for you and your families. Remember the best part of your life is ahead of you. Embrace it!

 Happy Xchanging!

Weight loss is a positive change journey, so it’s a great time to truly shine. That’s where our resident Stylist, Helen Robinett will help you out!

You don’t need to wait until you reach your goal weight to look good and feel great. Its time NOW to make the very best of you! Helen is our passionate, Australian-based image & style consultant with a major mission in life: to inspire people that It does not matter what shape or size you are – you are fabulous just as you are. She owns and operates Image Quest (http://www.imagequest.com.au) - a complete personal styling service.

When I ask Helen how she discovered that a career as an image consultant was for her she replies, in her usual effervescent manner, “Completely unintentional actually! I was half way through a financial planning degree and discovered I was so not into that!” She laughs, ”I saw people being overlooked for promotion and It amazed me how very powerful perceptions are. ”

She has been affectionately called ‘The Image Muse’ because of her caring nature and magic expertise in her field. I ask her what the best thing about being an image consultant is.

“It’s such a privilege to be part of someone’s journey. The best thing is watching their confidence and self-esteem increase. This work affects all areas of a person’s life. When you feel good about how you are presenting yourself, you perform at significantly higher levels in all aspects of your life, not just work. Everyone around you gets the benefit."

Her passion is infectious and it is a great honor for us to be able to introduce you all to your new ‘friend’ in the wardrobe. Her enthusiasm can be summed up in this final quote.

“Let’s make the very best of each of you. You are an individual - a perfect human being, just as you are. You are a gift. Let’s celebrate that! I want members to focus on what’s great. Women are too good at highlighting where they are ‘less than’. Enough already!”

Happy Xchanging

The beginning of any year is a time of thoughtful reflection of people who are deserving of our thanks and gratitude. We can most assuredly think of many situations where blessings have come our way in many different forms, and SizeXchange is no exception.

Becky and I in our humble beginnings spent many a day travelling via car and foot seeking partnerships with companies who would happily distribute our postcards and posters to their clients in exchange for a little advertising on our site. These businesses are a credit to themselves and we are incredibly greateful for their active support in their continuing effort to promote sizeXchange.

We encourage you to check them out for yourselves on the Our Partners page of our site. This page is continuously updated so feel free to bookmark it and refer to it at your leisure.

Happy Xchanging
