So I had my bio done, but honestly, after being here for a while, I've realized that my "why" is much deeper than "I'm here to lose weight and tone up." So an edit is in order.

So I had my bio done, but honestly, after being here for a while, I've realized that my "why" is much deeper than "I'm here to lose weight and tone up." So an edit is in order.

I started this journey with P90X and I was 348 pounds. My largest was 356 pounds less than a year ago. In December of 2011 I was feeling poorly, tired, irritable, just exhausted. I am a Type II diabetic and my morning blood sugars had hit the roof averaging in the high 400s! We moved up my doctors appointment.
I was given an ultimatum by my physician that we would try yet another combo of drugs, but if I did not modify my lifestyle drastically, I would have to go on insulin. He even gave me a referral for bariatric surgery - I went to the info session to start that process. It was a wakeup call. Something had to change.
My dad, Joe, suffered a fatal heart attack in 2004 at the age of 60. When I looked in the mirror, I saw him. My daily activies were the same as him - go to work, come home, sit in a chair, eat, go to bed, repeat. The way I was living, I wouldn't make it to 60.

I had seen the P90X infomercials for a couple of years. Was amazed at the results people were claiming. So I decided to order it and try just "one more time" to change my life. I started the P90X journey on January 23, 2012. I can't wait to push play every day! I can't wait to log onto Team Beachbody to see what my friends are doing. I can't wait to log on to WOWY gym and start my workout.

I feel so much better and as a result of what Beachbody has done for me, I am now an Independent Team Beachbody Coach and trying to pay it forward and help anybody else that might be even close to my situation. You can do it - I've made a lifestyle change and commitment to never go back to the way I was. Let me help and walk along with you on that same journey.
