Hello! I am so glad that you visited my page, because this is the place to be if you are looking for motivation, information, and friendship along this fitness journey that you have started.

My name is Karen and I am an Independent Team Beachbody Coach. Let me show you how to attain your health/fitness goals, as well as your financial goals, through this wonderful company that you are now associated with. Send me a message anytime for more information! Together we will transform your body and your bank account!

I started my journey with Team Beachbody in February of 2007 when I was a tubby size 14 that should have been wearing size 16 clothes (I was the kind of person who always shopped one size down, for vanity and self-confidence reasons). At my biggest I was a size 20 (size 18 clothes were very tight, but I wore them anyway!). I tried so many things to lose weight and gain confidence in myself, but was unsuccessful every time. But when I saw the infomercial for Power 90, I was mesmerized. I thought, "This Tony Horton guy really knows his stuff and honestly seems to care about my health." So, I gave it a go...

After 90 days on Power 90, I was wearing a size 10 and dropped to weight of around 150. I hadn't been that size since I was a teenager, and I was thrilled! These message boards on Team Beachbody and the support system are so amazing, that they kept me going even when I wanted to give up on myself. Thank God I didn't give! My coach advised me on what programs to do next, and I moved on to Turbo Jam.

Turbo Jam is such an electrifying workout because Chalene Johnson's energy is contagious! I love how she's able to cheer me up just by seeing her high energy and happy, smiling face on my TV. It's a fun, fun, FUN cardio workout that anyone can do! So, after 90 days of Turbo Jam, I was down to about 140 pounds and a size 8. I was FINALLY in the single digit sizes for the first time since I was a child. Literally, a little girl!!! But I didn't want it to end there...so I took my coach's lead and started...

P90X!!! WOW!!! What an intense program!!! P90X helped me to continue to lose pounds, inches, and body fat from EVERYWHERE. I was glad to have Tony back in my living room again, too. I was finally gaining my missing confidence, and I added a lot of muscle to my body, too. I finished 2 rounds of P90X and worked myself down to a size 6 with weight around the low 130's.

Since finishing P90X, I have been toiling around with other programs. I simply love Shaun T, and Rockin' Body is the most fun I've had working out since Turbo Jam. And you don't have to be a professional dancer to keep up. You can have "2 left feet" like me and still get a great workout from this awesome program. I also have ChaLEAN Extreme which is helping me to continue to chisel my physique into that perfect beach body that I have been longing for!!! And when I really want to kick it up another notch, I head for Insanity or Turbo Fire to blast away those calories and melt the fat right off my body.

If you are looking for weight loss, muscle gains, or simply better fitness and improved health, then you have come to right place. Team Beachbody has it ALL!!! I would love to help you along your personal journey. I take pride in being a Coach...and I look forward to hearing from you so you can reach your goals as well.

And also, don't forget to ask about how you can become a part of this great company as a coach...help others get fit, and earn a profit while you are at it. I can't think of a better way to spend your time!!!

My Progress

My fitness goal: Lose Weight

Transformation story

In March 2008, I won the Million Dollar Game for my success with Power 90, Turbo Jam, and P90X and was awarded with $1,000.00 in prize money. I had lost 30 pounds and reduced in size from a tight size 14 to a loose size 6. I had literally lived for 28 years in a shell of fat, and I finally had found the right tools to come out of that shell...and I did it.

But in the midst of my happiness from losing weight and getting into shape, I began having personal relationship issues. I can tell you from personal experience, that when your mind and emotions are being dragged on to a rough rollercoaster ride, something happens to your fitness...and it is not a good something. The summer after winning the Million Dollar Body Game, I saw my weight balloon back up to over 150 pounds, and my waist expanded to over 30 inches again. I was eating out nearly everyday against my better knowledge and wisdom, because, when you are depressed, you simply don't want to eat right or even cook for that matter. I allowed myself to become a slave to my personal circumstances, and all the hard work that I had put into my physique vanished along with a 3 year relationship that ended in a harsh way.

Towards the end of 2008, I was still struggling to get back on track even though I had cleaned out the trash from my life. I had found happiness in a new and better relationship, but those bad habits that I re-learned had taken ahold of me. I had to get back to the basics...I had to get back to what I knew worked. I had to get back to pressing play each day and watching what I ate.

I started ChaLEAN Extreme in January of 2009 and found some quick results at the beginning of the year. I have been able to get back into my good eating habits, and I even learned new ones that I hadn't used before when I was a game winner! ChaLEAN really got me turned around and put back on the path to health and fitness.

Now I am currently doing a combination of programs including parts of ChaLEAN Extreme, P90X, Turbo Jam, Rockin' Body, and One on One. I am once again seeing the results come...I am dropping pounds and inches from all over and gaining lots of lean muscle. And best of all? Not only am I improving my health, but I am also improving my self-confidence and learning how to cope with life's stressors without sacrificing my health.

I have learned so much along this journey, and I want to share it with all of you. I want to help you reach your fitness and financial goals. Send me a message any time, and let's move forward together!
