Hi Everybody, my name is Dolores and I'm the Success Story Manager here at Beachbody. We are gearing up to shoot another infomercial featuring YOUR successes using Tony Horton's 10-Minute Trainer and I'd love to read your success story, see your statisics and see your transformation though your beginning, progress and goal photos. You can begin sending your materials to SuccessPictures@productpartners.com

I'm so excited to hear from you! When you write in, you'll hear back immediately from me or Breana, who is our Success Story Specialist. I'll also be monitoring this thread, so you're more than welcome to post here. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

If you're a coach, please help me spread the word. This is an exciting project and I'm eager to get started!

Hi Dolores,
My name is Jineen. I saw your post on the Working Moms thread also, but I am not a working mom! I do not think I am a candidate for an infomercial at this point, but think I do have something to contribute!

I do work (maintenance for our apartment building), but I'm not a mom. I am 57. I have not had SPECTACULAR results with TMT (*YET!*), but it's not TMT's fault. When I started out, I ate clean and pushed play every day. Started out doing Cardio only and could only do about half of Janie's reps and much more slowly! But I kept at it. After a week I added Total Body, again, falling short (those darn pushups) (even from the knee!). Then I started switching off between Total Body and Yoga Flex in addition to Cardio. I think there were only a couple of times I did 3 w/o's in a day. But, in 30 days I lost 10 lbs., 60 days a total of 15. Inches have been slower to lose for me - it's in the neighborhood of 6 so far. I have hovered between 15-17 lbs total since then, but my eating has not been as clean and my w/o's have slowed (3-4-5 per week) due to work and medical issues (not TMT related). (The point being that TMT is great, but *I* haven't been!) My total goal is to lose 60 lbs by 7/1/10, so I am a distance away from that. Maybe I'd be a candidate closer to that date!

HOWEVER! My energy level has increased dramatically. I take care of a 4-story apartment building, so I do a lot of walking up and down stairs, except before TMT, I took the elevator because I got too winded going up even 1 flight. After TMT, not only am I able to take the stairs but I am able to do it briskly and still carry on a conversation!

The other comment I would like to share is that I have been menopausal for 4 years and have struggled with hot flashes and nights sweats all those years and even before. I tried all the herbal remedies and everything else I could do short of hormone replacement therapy (which I did NOT want to do). But it got to be so uncomfortable and I was losing so much sleep, that I decided I would call the doctor for some HRT. I also had not had a physical exam for 3 years and knew I needed to make that appt. (Bear with me here!)

I knew I was way out of shape and wanted to drop 10 lbs before I saw the dr so I wouldn't get scolded! But that seemed impossible. The day before I was going to make the appt, I saw a TMT infomercial. I bought it, did it, and about day 30, I did lose those 10 lbs. But the unexpected side effect of my w/o's was that my hot flashes and night sweats diminished noticeably. To the point where I am comfortable enough that I don't need medication. At first I wasn't sure it was because of TMT. But as I mentioned above, my w/o's have been not so consistent, and my hot flashes have increased. I can't believe that could be just coincidence!

Sorry this got to be so lengthy. If any of it seems usable, that's great. If not, and if you're going to do another infomercial in 7 or 8 months, I may look you up again! I actually enjoy TMT and look forward to the w/o's - and that is something I've never said about ANY exercise program in my life before!

P.S. I would also like to comment on the message boards. I've only had experience with the "Working Moms" thread, but the ladies there are a fantastic group. We keep each other motivated, encouraged, and supported. We laugh together and have shared some sad moments together. We share our milestone results (and cheer each other on), and we share our struggles (and cheer each other on). We are from all walks of life, varying ages, varying family situations, and we are from all over the USA. We feel like family and want to meet sometime! I am not usually a "mixer" but these gals made me feel welcome and right at home immediately. I'm in this for the long haul, and I know they have my back no matter what!

Hi Dolores,

I am not a success story yet, but believe I am on my way. I am on Day 30 and have lost 9 lbs and 15 inches. I am committed to TMT and it has been amazing so far. Yes, I work hard with these workouts but time flies by and in no time you are done. I have always had trouble working out because I could not commit to so much time for the workouts. Raising 3 daughters and working full time takes up all of my time. I was never any good about "me" time and have never stuck with a workout for more than 2 weeks. Something is different this time. Like Jineen said, I love the workouts and I am pushing play 6 days a week. That is just not me or should I say has never been me but it sure is now. I cannot believe how much motivation I have and it is due to a great, enjoyable program and results that you can see right away. I was very out of shape and was afraid of doing too much too soon so I started out very slowly and still got results. Four weeks later I run up the stairs at work, when I could barely climb them. I cannot believe the change in my fitness already. It is like a drug because I can only believe it will continue to get better.

Jineen talked about the working moms thread and how supportive they are. Well, let me tell you, these women are phenomenal. I only found them 2 weeks ago and felt like part of family immmediately. They are a positive, motivating and inspirational group of women. I can't help but keep going. I have been battling weight gain for 20 years and have never had this type of motivation, never enjoyed working out and never had results like these. I will check in with you at 60 days and see where I stand. I may not be what you are looking for but I hope what I have said explains how all the people I've met here feel about TMT.

Thanks for listening. Please make sure the right people know what a great product they have here with TMT and thank them for me.

Regards,
Lorraine

Hello Delores,

I just received my 10 minute Trainer products today. I'm excited to get started. I have a friend coming over this afternoon - I'm going to have her take photos and do measurements for me.

I have a couple of questions. I would like to do the Lean Jean Plan - I'm going to the grocery store today to buy my foods. I don't eat wheat - so I plan to substitute the whole grain and wheat breads with gluten free products. I also try not to eat much dairy - so I won't be doing the low fat cheeses. Im wondering if anyone has done adjustments for restricted diets?? I could be your test case!

Also - I'm a bit techie compromised - I'm trying to navigate the web site. It appears to me I was assigned a coach. However, he is a 39 y.o. male. Nothing personal - I would prefer a woman a little closer to my age who has been successful with this program. Can I get a new coach? How do I do that?

I'm not even sure this was the appropriate place or if you are the appropriate person to ask these questions. Please advise.

In any case I am excited about starting the program. Thanks, deb4peace

Hi, my name is Melissa. I don't know if you have already finished this, but I thought it was worth a shot. I bought the 10 minute trainer workout and Started pp on May 9. In July my daughter had surgery and I didn't pp for a while from being too tired or working all the time. I am breastfeeding so I can't take any of the drinks or pills. I have now lost a total of 20 1/2 inches and 7 pounds. That is only bringint it 20 minutues a day when I restarted back on Oct 6. I love this program and can't wait to lose more inches and pounds each week.
God bless,
Melissa

I just joined and I am waiting for my TMT to arrive in the mail this week. I already have P90x and i am making another attempt to get back into this again. A large move, job change and some other disruptions set me back, but not for long... I'll be on my way and I'm excited. Hopefully can be in this spot one day. Keep up the good work! lisa

Hi Delores and thase who have responded here.I couldn't help but respond to these great e-mails. I was the April $1000 winner for TMT and can testify what a fantastic product it is. SnowBear: I, too, am 57 (58 next month!) and not only did the TMT profram relieve me of menapause symtoms it's relieved me from the nasty migraines I used to have. Who says us more mature woman can't change our lives around.
HappyLisa:I suggest following the Getting Started schedule that comes with the package. It will help strech you out for your runs.

Good luck to all on getting in the best shape of your life! Just remember to push play and eat clean! feel free to contact me for any suggestions or just chat. It's hard for me to use the message boards since I'm in the country with a snail computer.

I would love to be a success story and I am on my way there. These insanity workouts are binging me to a level i thought i could never be at. I am looking forward to a new me.. Maybe even taking my journey to next level.

Dolores, I have sent in my testomonial and pics but was wondering if we are allowed to send in new pics at the end of this month?

Axilleas, congratulations on taking the first step. My wife had a breathtaking transformation using the TMT. Like you she could barely get through the first 10 minutes when she started. Long story short, she stuck to it and now we are doing P90X together. Keep pushing play! Be careful on your clean eating. You don't want to go below 1200 calories, you don't want your body thinking you are trying to starve it.
Best of luck with your program.
