If I have been assigned as your coach, drop me an e-mail. I'd love to hear from you. Even if I'm not your coach, feel free to contact me and I'll help you all I can. This is a great family and I'm in this for life. I sure hope you're in it for life with me!!

I grew up on a farm where my Mother cooked 3 meals a day. It was no problem with a fast metabolism working all the time, but I was still a "big boned" "husky" kid. I stayed that way until High School where I lost some weight and got into better shape playing sports. I graduated from The Citadel, a military college and was in pretty good shape when I graduated. I then entered the working world with client lunches and hanging out with friends. I kept putting on weight, and then dieting, and then putting on weight and dieting. I never had time, or frankly, the money to go to a gym. I knew it would be a waste of time and money to do that, but I also didn't believe in the home exercise fitness programs.

Being 41, and after 18 years of life away from College, 3 kids (11, 9, 6, and one on the way) and a wife who is the love of my life and who cooks great, I put on more weight than I could stand. I was miserable but "I carried it well". I went through the low carb diets, the no carb diets, the fruit diets, the movie star diets, but, the weight always came back on because I wasn't complimenting my diet with resistance and cardio training. I would run some occasionally, but never anything too intense and it wouldn't last long. I was living a "regular" life. I had put on a lot of extra weight, especially aruond the midsection where the heart and internal organs have to work so hard, causing them extra stress. I had pretty much given up and thought I'd just be this way the rest of my life. I thought was destined to be an overweight, balding, middle-aged average "Dad" like so many other men out there. That was "normal", after all. Then, one morning, I happened to stumble across the P90X infomercial. I didn't order it right away, but thought about it alot. In fact, I couldn't get it off my mind. I checked it out online, saw it had a money back guarantee, checked out the company, and decided, why not. My loving wife saw it with me and said "You won't do it". I figured this might be my last hope. Well, it was, and it's the only hope I needed. I knew after the first week that this was the real deal. I am jazzed and stoked and can't imagine what life will be like from here on because this isn't a fluke or a one time thing, but a lifestyle change for me. Thank you Beachbody!! Not only is my body and physical appearance changing, but my energy level to play with the kids, my mental state of mind, and the way I see the world has, and is continuing to change for the better. Thanks!!!

Transformation story

After 30 days into P90X which is the first workout regime I've done since College other than running and messing around with free weights. I lost 20 pounds and started feeling GREAT!! Just 30 days in, I could already tell a difference in my energy level and was beginning to see definition come back into my muscles. It's nice to be able to stand in front of a mirror again and smile and know that all the hard work is beginning to pay off. It was about 45 days into the workouts when it really hit me that I don't HAVE to workout...I GET to workout. That is when I really started actually looking forward to getting up and working out hard. I wish I had done this years ago. I can only begin to imagine where I would be right now.

Wow, what a ride this has been. There have been some days when I really didn't want to get up and get after it and push play, but I did it anyways and I am ever so glad I did. I have learned to eat right, and learned that a little bit of discipline will overcome a whole lot of regret. I've learned that I can push my body farther than I ever thought possible. I've also learned that the programs will give you back what you put into them. If you decide and commit, you will truly succeed. Beachbody has given us the tools, we simply have to use them. I'm so thankful now that I did the research and found out that Beachbody is the real deal and the coaching aspect gives us a chance to help others. It's an absolutely amazing gift that we've been given not only to get in the best shape of our lives, even at 42, but also to help others do the same thing. Words just cannot describe how I feel about it!!

Update: 03/25/09 - Finishing up another Round of P90X and giong to do some ChaLEAN Extreme next. It's CRAZY fun. I am taking it easy on my shoulder still to let it recover from tendonitis. It's great stuff. What a ride this has been.
I never thought I'd be addicted to working out. This is the most incredible feeling. I've been pushing play even when I didn't feel like it. I am really starting to see some fantastic results. I've lost right at 60 lbs now since May 7 of 2007 and have added a lot of muscle. It's really indescribable. This program is incredible. All I can say is, THANK YOU, BEACHBODY!!! I'm in this thing for life and it's due alot to the community of people. I can't imagine ever taking my shirt off again and being ashamed of what's underneath.

I am a Coach with Team Beachbody and I won a Top Coach award for 2008 and a trip to Hawaii!!! If you'd like to know more about my story or if I can help you in any way, e-mail me at dragonmousecit89@yahoo.com
