Thank you for writing this blog all those years ago. You were the first person I had ever heard talking about getting implants out and not replacing them. I have had mine now for 7.5 years and when I read this blog back then it validated my feelings about not wanting them anymore. I am having them removed next week and I have you to thank for speaking up about it. I am having them removed both for the desire to be “me” again but also because I am showing some signs of breast plant illness. I’m looking forward to it and anxious at the same time!

Marianne, I’m really impressed!! A powerful decision you made, and a powerful blog about it!

Learning to be truly happy in our own skin is the most difficult lesson for most of us, and one which I think must be learned and re-learned as we encounter new circumstances & new challenges in the landscape of our lives.

You’re a beautiful woman, and what you’ve done sets a wonderful, courageous and righteous (in the sense of doing and being what is right and good) example – one that is much needed in our culture and our time.

Thank you. May you, your marriage and family (if you have one) be blessed! 🙂

Wow Marianne I have been following you for a very long time. You are blooming beautifully as a human, as a woman.

I found your workouts refreshing in comparison to others out there, I loved the fact that you were not afraid to be a lady who can lift heavy, that was incredibly inspiring to me.

Then you became more expressive in spirituality and wisdom which also inspired me.
You are such an amazing role model, you are brilliant and most of all you are humble. Have you any idea how rare that is?

Keep on shining keep on sharing

P.S I am so glad I found your blog

You look great. I have said things publicly on my blog about plastic surgery and my readers all reacted negatively. I came to realize that they read me instead of watching TV because they want someone who isn’t afraid to be strong and unique. They were sending their daughters to my blog and having them meet me at events because they saw me as a role model for them. I think it is probably the same with you and the people who have issues with it – it’s frankly not their business.

I just read your blog now and again before this without much thought but this post has made me really respect you. Not because of appearance – you look great no matter what. But because of your thought process. I would imagine that the young girls reading you would also think about feeling comfortable with them self also.

In reply to Jonathan Fass. If it's all "her decision", why are YOU talking? Is it your blog now? LOL

Amazing! I think the most wonderful part of you doing this is sharing it with others. Hopefully all of us will see we don’t have to be what others might want, we just need to be who God made us. So great, thank you for writing this! 🙂

You look beautiful, because you look happy and because I know your heart. Your words convey your true self and it is wonderful. I love your nonconformity, and I wish you the best.

Hi Marianne. I’m following you nearly for two years. I’ve been training for ten years and tried so many methods on body building. Even tried some kinds of steroids. However I realized that I was not training for my health and wellness after reaching ” great physique”. I was training to satisfy my friends my relatives my fans at the gym but not for my health. Also I fear to see the disappointment in their eyes if I loose my muscle size or my maximum weights decrease.
Two years before my perception about life, money, body, career and all about world started to change. At this period of my life I found your website and videos. I saw the spirit in your heart, it was so different. Your training methods were quite different for me but suiting best for my new perception about sport. During these two years I was also trying to understand God’s message for us like you. We’re both trying to be his loved sons in our ways. There is just a difference I’m trying to be one of those “conscious of God” in the way of Quran.
Now I’m training for a healthy life not for a great physique. I’m working to establish a rich company to help orphans but not to be rich. I was a bank manager but I quit my job a year ago. I established an engineering company with my friends from university. And I’m reading the Quran to understand the massage. My uniqe goal is to be one of his hands to help orphans, poors and disabled children till I die.
You may think we are quite different in our beliefs but I’m sure we’re not. I hope you will be one of those who will be loved by God in both worlds. Go on in that way…
