***My name is Mandy, and I am the SEPTEMBER 2008 $10,000 WINNER!!!***

My how my story has changed since I first started. My fitness story started about 5 years ago. My husband and I had been married for a year, and during our first year of marriage I put on about 40lbs due to stress of living and volunteering in post-Katrina New Orleans. We went out to eat all the time and ate horrible fatty foods and always got dessert. I hated the way I looked and felt with those 40 extra pounds and decided to change it. I found beachbody, and with the help of Power 90, P90X, and Chalean Extreme, I lost 48lbs. I was in the best shape of my life and felt amazing. I even won $10,000 in the Million Dollar Body game.

Fast forward about a year, and I had a miscarriage. I was devastated and depressed. I quit exercising and eating right, and within about a year's time I had put on 50lbs. I was the heaviest I have ever been, and even more miserable. I knew how to get back in shape, but I still didn't do anything about it for about another year.

My husband and I have struggled to conceive a child, and we both really desired to be parents, so we became foster parents after alot of prayer and training. We were blessed with a 6 year old boy as our son. We fell in love with him, and started the adoption process. He is full of energy and life, and well, I just couldn't keep up with him. This time around, he was my motivation. I wanted to be a healthy mom and good example to my sweet boy.

I began eating healthy and exercising again like Beachbody taught me the first time around. I have now lost 30lbs, and I'm doing Insanity to build back my lean muscle I used to have. I never want to go back to that heavier depressed version of me again.
