Fourteen years ago, during my first pregnancy I gained 50 pounds! After having my son, I would work out in spurts and I somehow managed to loose all but 13 pounds of what I had gained. I always had a love/hate relationship with fitness. I would love the results but hated the process. So if I didn’t feel that I had time for it, I didn’t do it. Over the years, I slowly packed on every pound that I had lost. My son was 13 years old and I was back at 175 pounds!!! Then I got pregnant with my daughter and put on another 25 pounds. By the end of my second pregnancy, I was weighing in at 200 pounds. I knew that I had to do something! I also knew that at my age, I was going to have to be consistent to loose the weight this time around.

About a month after having my daughter, I began walking two miles a day. Very slowly... :) By my 6 week check up, I had lost the 25 pounds that I had gained during the second pregnancy. BUT.... for some reason I couldn't fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes. So I decided that I needed to keep working out so that I wouldn't be stuck in maternity clothes forever. I began working out seven days a week. The first program that I completed was Turbo Jam. I was very pleased with the results so I moved on to Turbo Fire. Still pleased and at that point addicted to the rush and the results of working out. I have continued to work out and complete various Beachbody programs. I am not at my goal but I have had amazing results and I have fallen in love with working out.

An obstacle that I had to overcome was not giving a full effort while working out home. In the beginning there were many days that I didn't feel like completing the work out, so I didn't. I had to realize that I was only cheating myself. I can honestly say that I have had better results working out at home than I ever had in a gym. You don't need a gym membership to be successful in your fitness quest!... You just need to be persistent and committed to your own success!
