Hi I'm David's Wife Kate.

Exercise and nutrition have always been a passion of mine. My friends know me as being into fitness and I’m always helping others to be healthy. Thanks to the programs from Beachbody, I’m at my lowest weight in 10 years and still progressing!

As a mother I feel like it’s my responsibility to teach my kids how to make healthy choices and eat nutritional meals. After becoming educated about the chemicals (high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils etc) being put into our food, I’ve removed the many “toxins” from our meals and replaced them with healthy alternatives. I’m always looking for nutritional food at a great price.



As far back as I can remember I’ve worn a size 12 pants even though I was always active playing sports. Now, I’m a stay-at-home mom of 3 wonderful children and it’s even more difficult to keep the weight off. After my last baby I developed depression and stopped caring about my appearance. I was stressed out, gained weight and felt sorry for myself.

After delivering 3 kids I had developed back problems. Two years ago my doctor gave me two options: have back surgery or lose weight. Surgery was out of the question in my mind. I would have to lose weight. I did what people normally do…I joined a gym. A few months later I really wanted to challenge my body so I entered the “Body for Life” competition. I lost a few pounds but couldn’t break past a plateau. I needed more help so I hired a personal trainer and added more cardio. I went to Zumba and pilates classes. I lost a couple of pounds but it came back. I was becoming discouraged because I had hit a hard plateau and couldn’t break it.

I saw David’s results with P90X and was amazed with his change in only 60 days when I had been running and lifting weights for over 18 months. I even had a trainer for 9 of those months!

I finally broke through my weight-loss plateau!
I decided to take a chance and try one of the Beachbody programs called TurboFire and the weight-loss meal replacement Shakeology. I even cancelled personal training and put my gym membership on hold. In just first 4 weeks I broke my plateau and lost 5 lbs, over 4 inches off my waist, hips and legs!

UPDATE: FEB 22nd 2011: I FINISHED TURBO FIRE!!!

Check out my Turbo Fire Results video!

After being stuck at a weight-loss plateau for 9 months, I lost 13 lbs in 84 days!!


I’m at my lightest weight in 10 years, and bought a size 6 skirt last night! I’m so excited to be progressing again. I really believe Beachbody has unlocked the key to weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. The great thing I love about the Beachbody programs is the accompanying nutrition plans that go with them.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'm here to offer support and a woman's perspective!

I just ordered the recovery drink.. I did a test 1 workout with it and 1 without, it works!

Thanks!! It's appreciated.

Hey guys! Glad to see you here. David awesome job! So proud of you! Who's going to be on FIRE tomorrow?

Thanks man. Yes, round 2 starts today! P90X schedule but with some P90X Plus, and 1on1 discs mixed in.

How about you? Are you doing P90X?

David

Hey I was reading in my TurboFire book that oats are a great source of soluble fiber. This will help lower colesterol. High fiber cinnamon oatmeal for breakfast anyone?

Turbo gonna make ya feel...like I'm on FIRE, Fire, Fire! It was fun having a workout partner today!

Hey Everyone - just checking in. I'm glad to see everyone is finding this thread.

Today was my first day of round 2! I'm mixing in P90X Plus and Tony Horton 1on1 discs. I'm still following the original P90X Schedule though.

Wow it felt GREAT to workout today after being off for a week. I totally killed Ab Ripper X! Recovery weeks work wonders to strengthen the body. I did Upper Plus from P90+, hmmm not my favorite so far.

Tomorrow, I will be substituting one of the Interval workouts for Plyometrics.

Hey NeedNewStart,

Thanks for the compliment - I appreciate it. I definitely feel GREAT.

To your question, here's how I blended the 2. I used the P90X Nutrition plan as a starting point and then layered Master your Metabolism over it. My opinion is that Master Your Metabolism is a little more strict in the sense that it puts a spot light on how foods affect your weight-loss/gain hormones (aka your metabolism). So if the P90X plan said the food was okay and MYM said "avoid it", I avoided it.

Basically, I followed the 40/40/20 ratio (protein/carbs/fat) from P90X and the suggested calories. For the first 3 months, I was at 1900 calories, then went up to about 2100 for the first 30 days of p90x, then 2300 for next 30 days of p90x and then 2500 for the last 30 days, while maintaining the 40/40/20 ratio.

I then ate healthy, whole foods and avoided the junk. It's amazing how it 'resets' your metabolism and your body just burns through the food AND the bodyfat.

Later tonight I'll post some food lists to my website of what I eat on an average day.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Thanks,

David
