November 1st 2024 … exactly 12 years ago today on Thursday November 1st 2012 — I was standing in a photo studio having a photo shoot for First For Women Magazine and getting my hair and makeup done while I had hundreds upon hundreds of photos taken of me in 2 outfits. I ended up being on the cover with Dr. Oz and had a feature story within the magazine … and a furry of requests for Motivational talks & interviews. It was the pinnacle of a weight loss that had consumed me for 2 years!!!
They CHANGED the colour of my Hot Pink dress to RED in the editing department and there’s a wee bit of embellishment of facts in the story itself — but all in all it’s all part of the glamour & glitz.
I’m so proud of this achievement and the lives I’ve touched and the journey it began … leading to me writing my book and talking all over Ontario to thousands of people.
As I’m HERE 12 years later … and Moving Towards BETTER … I say hello to this gal again!!!
Stay tuned … we’re ready to hit the road again, soon!!!

If you receive a friend request from me or ANY request from me in messenger … it’s NOT me. Please delete it, block it and don’t open anything or send anything.
I guess it’s my turn. I e been so vigilant about this but today … it’s here.
I do NOT send out friend requests and do NOT have a new page nor will need any favours.
Thanks,
Joan Minnery
