Welcome!

I am 56 years old, and had to take back my health. It is very hard for
someone who has always been very fit, to finally accept how fat and unhealthy I had
allowed myself to become. Pride had totally taken over. It was no fun to see
a picture of me and my wife at the beach, and know she couldn't wrap her arms
around me to hug me because of my belly.

My wife was very worried about my health. Still, I wouldn't listen to her. My feet would
swell, and my heart would pound just trying to walk any at all. If I continued to do
nothing about changing my lifestyle, it was a very real possibility I would end up in serious
condition in the hospital or worse. It finally dawned on me that my health affected not
only me, but those that love me.

When I saw Beachbody, I was not sure at all, first, that I could do it, and second
what kind of results would I have exercising at home, instead of going to a gym.
My question to myself was: "What if this actually did work?" Why not give this a shot, and
see if this will help. It worked just as Beachbody said. Man, couldn't be any happier!

It has been a very good experience for me. There is no fighting traffic to get to the gym
by a certain time to get my workouts in, and being worried about what others would say that
were at the gym, waiting for machines or classes. None of these things were an issue because
I exercised from home. Even though I knew I would have to put in effort and change my
eating and sleeping habits, it wasn't a burden to me. In fact, each week I improved, and became
even more motivated to continue.

No longer do I wear those "fat" clothes. Others who knew me when I was larger
ask me what have I done to lose so much. Most of all, I feel so much better. Also, what price
can you place on knowing your loved ones and friends aren't filled with all that anxiety I put
them through? My wife even began to exercise, too, and we have learned to eat better.

I have been fat and unhealthy, and believe me, being healthy is a lot more fun. Plus, this is a preventative
measure from having all the hassle of going to the doctor, and having to pay for something I could
have avoided.

All I can tell you is it works, and I encourage you to contact me if you have any questions.

Blessings!

This is a process, not an overnight change. It takes effort, persistence, and
discipline, but it isn't something that is a burden. What is exciting is when
others, also, see my progress, and want to know how they can do the same.

With the encouragement of my coach, Traci Morrow, and others, I am
moving forward. The jeans I used to wear a few years ago, now fit again,
and that's very exciting.

My eating habits and choices have changed for the better, thanks to the
Thin Kitchen section found in the Beachbody Club. There are some really
great recipes there. Just because I am trying to get more fit, doesn't mean
all my meals have to be tasteless or without variety.

Sometimes life happens, and our focus shifts to dealing with it. Even then, though, the Beachbody exercise programs, and the supplements surely helped to reduce stress. One thing that encouraged me, was when I could choose a workout and mold a workout that benefitted my Dad, and also, another workout for my Mom. It is incredible how much Beachbody helps all ages, and levels of fitness. Both of them are in their 80's.

Although I have been able to maintain, it is exciting to get back into working out harder, again. With Beachbody, the workouts never get boring, or plateau, because you don't do the same thing over and over.

There is still quite a ways for me to go, but I'm excited to see how far I will
progress. There is always something new with Beachbody.
