At 5' 5" and 177 pounds, I did not feel good about myself and was setting a really bad example for my children, particularly my daughter. Her doctor insisted that we become more active and monitor her diet because she was overweight. And the last thing I wanted was for my little girl to have health problems or get teased over something so preventable. But sadly, I was raising my kids the same way I'd been raised—with quick and easy food, and combining that behavior with watching a lot of TV and not being very active. And even though I had been trying to eat better, I wasn't exercising, therefore got no results.
When I discovered Beachbody and its programs, Coaches, and Challenge Groups, I knew I found the solution to my problems. I kicked off my new life of health and fitness with Chalean Extreme and was instantly hooked. But as a single mom who worked full time while going back to school, time was my biggest enemy. So when T25 came out, I was all over it. Plus, I really wanted to do a more intense program.
T25 was everything it promised to be—and more. It's so easy to come home from work and do a quick workout, and still have time to cook dinner, take the kids to martial arts classes, etc. In addition to working out, I started drinking Shakeology daily. Shakeology was great; it curbed my cravings tremendously and I stopped wanting sugar, which significantly contributed to my weight loss. The online tracker for my workouts really helped, too, because it definitely kept me accountable.
Today I'm so much happier, have tons of energy, and am completely addicted to exercise and being healthy. But most importantly, my kids are more active and see that it's better to be healthy rather than couch potatoes. I achieved amazing results with the workout programs and Shakeology and am so thankful that I found Beachbody. So far I've lost 47 pounds and 30 inches total. I started out wearing a size 14 and my original goal was to get down to an 8. But now, I'm a 2! That's 6 dress sizes. I can now confidently wear a bikini, which I NEVER thought I'd be able to do—and I owe all the credit to Beachbody and my amazing Coach. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
