Hello BeachBody friends!

The bio may be the hardest thing to write as we need to express details of our fitness andventures, both good and bad.
At the start, I was always extremely fit and healthy..very athletic and very active. I ate well and took care of my body as a non-smoker and non-drinker. However, when I turned 21 I began to drink and take diet pills. The yo yo began! I would go from my healthy weight of 140-150 up little by little. By the time I was in my 30's the weight did not come off as easily as it did when I was younger. I became depressed and self-medicated with alcohol, cigarettes and diet pills.

When I quit smoking almost 4 years ago (It will be 4 years July 20th, 2012) I stopped working out and started eating. I ate my way through Massachusetts. I ended up putting on 90 pounds in the course of 2 years. The anxiety and depression I felt for letting myself become so unhealthy took a great toll on
my self esteem and wellness.

I started with P90 in my early thirties and continued to yo yo in my weight. Thin fat...thin fat. It was not until I took a real account of myself and my emotions and began to chip away at the weight I had gained. I topped out at 253 pounds. I am now down to just over 200. I am 5' 9" and have an athletic broad build. Most people look at me and would think I was full of Sh*t if I told them my weight. My goal is to go from a size 12 down to my happy size of an 8 and at the lowest a 6.

P90 and P90X have helped me lose almost 53 pounds thus far. I start a new challenge with my coach Joe Bovino on Feb. 15th 2012 and I feel strongly that my goal will be so close at the end of the three month challenge. Until then..I will wrap this up and give an update on my figures starting in Feb. and the grand finale in May. Keep pushing play! Do not worry how many times you fall off the wagon...just know that you can get back on every day.

Lots of love and health~
