No matter how we look at it, there was a lot lost at Happily Thinner After this year...a LOT of weight!!!  We are so proud of all of you who have taken the bull by the horns and pulled together your life in a way that will change it forever.  We also know that you are looking forward to 2010 with the same confidence and expectation as you continue your journey. 

Happily Thinner After has come a long way in the last year as well.  2009 was a big year for us and we expect 2010 to be even bigger.  So  much is going on.  We wanted to share some of our accomplishments with you as well as make you aware of some of our goals for 2010...oh yes, we have some nice things up our sleeve ready to go!  Read more to find out exactly what!!!

Top 9 Great Things That Happened at HTA in 2009

1. Happily Thinner After established - Officially we secured our name and website in the month of December, 2008, but it was not until 2009 that we moved from a simple (yet BUSY) support forum to a community based website with articles products and a social system of blogging, journals and groups!
2. One on One Nutritional Coaching Established - this was MUCH more than two years in the making and was completed in the nick of time!  With the help from so many different people too numerous to mention here, the ground work was laid to what is sure to become the premier service available on HTA - One on One Personal Nutritional Coaching.  This entails all of the phases of The hCG Protocol (from VLCD to Lifetime Maintenance) - the ace in the hole was perfecting the whole concept of "RESHAPING" rounds!  If you have not had a chance to experience this, there is no time like the present!
3. Holiday Recovery Guide - add this as another thing that was years in the making.  This extensive recovery guide is a detailed way to get back on track without using hCG - not just for weight loss, but also recovery of your confidence.  It is a mind and body experience! Our best eBook yet!
4. Get Your Thin on Tour - For the first time ever, Biz went on a 5 state tour in 2.5 weeks meeting all sorts of people from all over and teaching them all about hCG and Maintenance.  She met with many groups that have successfully gone on to continue their journey!
5. Logo Established - From Biz "OMG, the logo!  When I first saw it, all I could think was WOOT WOOT - that is what it looks like, a person throwing their arms up in the air and screaming WOO HOO - I did it!!!  It has become very recognizable as the face of HTA."
6. Correction Days eBook - this eBook is very special; it was our very first.  A personal endeavor by our head coach, Biz, this book represented a lot of research that covered the specific area of correcting a gain during Phase 3.  Many have used it with great success!
7. New Server - Perhaps the best post-starting decision we have ever made.  After dozens of problems in late 2008 and early 2009, including over a week of going offline in June, upgraded to our own server which will continue to handle our growth and traffic, especially from our beloved members!  Since late July, we have not had one issue that was not quickly (and quietly) resolved!!!!
Get Your Thin On Retreat - can you say VEGAS baby???  Wow, what a thrill that was!  To see people we had gotten to know over the months in one place, and all getting together and acting like we had known each other for years.  What a joy that was - and informative too!
8. Starter Manual - Our sublingual starter manual was written in August of 2008 - it was quickly put together and for a while we struggled with its quality.  However, in January, we started an extensive rewrite that included injections and sublingual and presented it in an easy to understand format.

Many of you are no doubt wondering by now what we have up our sleeve.  In a way, 2010 looks a whole lot like 2009...

1. Website Overhaul – Believe it or not, we are working with developers to make this website more friendly and intuitive than ever before!  Some of you have kindly referred to this site as having a "front" (the basic website and shops) and a "back" (the forums).  We will be combining the website in an exciting new way to enhance the community feel, make the products more accessable, and include a better system of listing your profile, uploading pictures, video, and music, along with a better article system.  With this new easy to navigate system we know you will still feel right at home, whether you have been a fan of the "front" side or of the forums!
2. Nutritional Coaching Expanded – Right now there are coaches being trained in all parts of the nation to handle our ever expanding Nutritional Coaching Service – and our services will include much more than just emails (see below for more details)!
3. More Ebooks to be Released – There seems to be a growing need for more and more easy to read, easy to navigate and easy to understand information that people can put their hands on to help them immediately!  We will be focusing our intuitive ebooks on common problems that relate to us all on many different levels!
4. Get Your Thin On Tour Part Deux – This is in the works RIGHT NOW – bigger and better than before, and HTA is hoping to get to the WEST COAST by summer’s end!  Stay tuned for more information on that!!!
5. Branding – Our goal is to make HTA a very recognizable entity through more product awareness, support availability and developing loyal customers!
6. Video Courses – Imagine a 3 week crash course in P2 – ok, imagine it no more.  We are in the process of developing this.  At the current moment it will likely be a DVD course which will hopefully be followed up by a 3 week crash course in P3 (dare we say one available for P4???)  In other words...it is all good!
7. Web Conferences – You have asked and we answer: YES!  Initially we will set up a weekly meeting as either a call in real time live chat with experienced members of HTA to help walk you through any issues concerning protocol or maintenance; however, we want to add VIDEO conferencing to the mix to help with all sorts of things from cooking tips to mind makeovers!  The visual word is OUTSTANDING!  Expect this sometime in the Q1 of 2010.
8. Retreats – Currently we are looking at TWO RETREATS planned for 2010 – one will be in the late spring, and there are "rumors" of planning a HTA CRUISE in the fall!  We will provide details as we have them.
9. Enhance our Starter Manual – It’s time for another rewrite. There is so much NEW that has been learned and it needs to be revisited. This doesn’t mean that the one available now is obsolete; we just need to ADD things to it!  We also want to have a Free Form area available for reports, charts and the like that can help you with your adventure with hCG!  And if you have the starter manual already, do not sweat it...we are working out a way to make sure we can make the new version available to you in some form.

As you can see there is much excitement around the new year.  So much has been done, and there is so much yet to do.  Thank you for your support and kind words!  Meanwhile, we will still be here to help you Get YOUR Thin On!!!
