My name is Elaina and I am an Independent Team Beachbody Coach. As a child I was always heavy. Fortunately for me I was not a vain person and always was a very confident person. I truly believed it was what was inside a person and not outside. I was very well liked and somewhat athletic, so playing sports kept me from being obese but I was always 40 to 50 pounds above what I should have weighed. My family was all about food and we ate enormous amounts. I am not complaining, I had great parents and never was unhappy as a child and being heavy did not consume me but looking back I now realize that my childhood obesity was setting me up for a future of food addictions and bad habits.

My twenties were a blast. I traveled worldwide, backpacked Europe twice, lived in Hawaii, Florida and did some Hippi tripping around the United States. I always ate anything I wanted and slowly the weight got higher and higher but I was able to not hit that 200 pound mark as long as I played soccer. But when the sports stopped the weight came on and by 33 I was getting married at 220 lbs. Then the babies came and I by 40 I was weighing 260 lbs and going up, up, up.

The realization that I was out of control came when I was close to 300 lbs and about to be put on diabetic medicine. I saw my mother taking 4 shots a day and said forget this. I took control for awhile and lost about 60 lbs. Unfortunately my bad habits took over when life became stressful and I had no one to be accountable to so the weight started coming back on.

In Oct of 2008 my sister and I found Beachbody and my life has not been the same since. I realize that food is not the enemy it is survival if eaten correctly. Everyday you have to be in the right mindset to know that you are powerful of mind and control anything if you surround yourself with the right people and are accountable to others.

The very first step is the most important one you will ever make. So click an option at the bottom of this page to set up your profile and let’s get started; I’ll help you! If you need my personal attention, just let me know!!

My Progress

My fitness goal: Get Healthy

Transformation story

When I joined beach body I was around 250 lbs. My back was bad and I was in constant pain with sciatica that went from the middle of my back straight down my right leg. I was seeing a chiropractor who informed me my problem was first my weight and next I was nutrient deficient so my electrical system wasn’t performing correctly. She put me on tons of supplements and started adjusting me 3 times a week. I admit I did feel better but my pocket book was killing me.
In June of 2008 my sister and I found Beachbody. I started with Kathy Smith Project You and worked out 4 times daily. I used my club membership and customized a meal plan that fit my lifestyle. I was even able to allow myself foods I thought I would never be able to have as long as I did portion control. I converted to the chiropractor’s supplements to Beachbody supplements and started feeling great both physically and financially (I saved about $50 a month).
I then advanced to Slim N Six which was a little harder but doable. I was losing weight and feeling better and no more sciatica. When I hit 220 lbs I was actually pain free. I still wasn’t jumping a lot but I was moving at a much faster pace.

My next program was Turbo Jam. I love to dance so this was fun and Chalene is a kick. I have since done Rockin Body and Hip Hop abs.

I am now around 175 lbs and plan to be 140 by the end of 2010. I am in no hurry, I just know I feel better than I have in years. I am not a diabetic and I play soccer at the age of 50 years old.

I encourage anyone to be part of this program and take control of your life so you can be healthy and prosperous.
