I am a stay at home mom; running a small home business and homeschooling
my 3 growing children. I am 40 pounds overweight and have NEVER stayed
with
any diet or work out routine before. I've always gone back to my old ways.
When I got married, almost 18 years ago, I
weighed 132 pounds and looked pretty good at 5'4". Over the years of being
a stay at home mom I have slowly put on weight and before starting my 10
minute trainer program I weighed 174 pounds. I love to cook, I love to enjoy
my
food and love to watch others enjoy it as well. I'm not a gorging pig but I can
pack it in! Show me some chicken parmesan or a huge bowl of pasta and I'm
IN! I have tried to diet in the past; joining the YMCA with all good intentions
of making the trek there to work out but I have never stuck with it. I would
get up to
swimming a mile or so; start to tone up but then business caused me to just
stopped going. I would resume a
year or later getting short-term results and just get back to my old ways of
not working out. I was never a believer in any diet plan out there and would
simply try to cut down on my eating to trim up. No success. I'm now in my
mid forties suffer a constant backache. I have no physical restrictions. Any
medical exam shows me clear of any issues. I have concluded it's the extra
weight I am carrying around that is just too much for my out of shape body. I
have come to realize that if I don't do something now I will only keep putting
on the pounds and end up obese! I would joke with my husband
acknowledging my weight and say "when I'm READY I'll do it. I have to be
READY!" A friend of mine told me about a system where people just wrote
down what they ate and it helped them lose weight. I didn't really think much
of that but she also mentioned that calorie counting is a good way to lose
weight. This clicked! It's simple math. Eat less calories, lose weight. I
researched what it meant to diet by simply counting calories, balancing it
with exercise and I realized then --- I can do this. Three days later while on
my treadmill I saw a Tony Horton infomercial. I always change channels on
infomercials, they make me laugh with their sales pitches, but something
about Tony kept my attention. He appeared very sincere. He claimed that
only 10 minutes a day would bring results. Who can't do 10 minutes a day.
The price was incredibly reasonable and I knew then I was REALLY ready to
get serious about my weight loss program. So, I'm on a roll commiting to 10
minutes a day and making it a goal to move up to all three as recommended
for optimum results. Wish me luck!

Transformation story

I am simply amazed at my results so far. Yes I say so far because I've got another 15 pounds to go to reach my goal. I started using TMT in Mid-August Day one was 8/11 the day I received it! I have been very committed to the program starting with one TMT a day and very quickly moving to 3 a day by the end of the first week. Decide Commit Succeed are truly perfect words to focus on when using the videos. That's just what I did. I notice results right away. I had more energy and more of a positive attitude right away. As I progressed through the TMT program I reduced my calorie intake to 1250 a day and started eating clean adding in my Activit supplements in September (after I finished a bottle of over the counter supplements)Activit made a difference I KNOW! A week after taking them I noticed my weight loss would sometimes be an extra 1/2 pound a week. At least I think I can contribute that to the Activit. The timing was there! I added in ShawnT's Hip Hop Abs on days when TMT worked on Abs. Just to boost my results. I started Tony's Power 90 Master Series on October 23 beginning with P90 1-2 and continuing with HHA's on alternating days. On November 13 I moved on up to P90 3-4 and it was definitely what I needed. I weighed myself on 11/13 and had lost a total of 28 pounds and took my 'after' picture. I am really thrilled to find Beachbody. The people here are terrific and the boards are key to success!
