Hello! I'm 30 years old and married to a wonderful man who has been very supportive in my efforts to get my weight under control.

Standing 5'9", I've never been a small girl, but I wasn't always overweight, either. In highschool, I was an athlete. I went to a small town school where if you play one sport, you play them all. With track, cheerleading, softball, and cross-country running, I stayed active and in shape all year round. I ate
horribly, but didn't gain weight because my metabolism was blazing and I was working out.

Then, I started college. I did gain weight my freshman year. However, I didn't gain much more over the next 2 years though due to working as a lifeguard and swimming quite a bit until my senior year. I wasn't swimming as much and the stress was making my food consumption worse than it had ever been. I kept telling myself that once I graduated and found a job, I'd get back to being healthy. That didn't come quite as soon as I had originally planned.

A little under a year after graduation from college, I couldn't believe how I'd let myself go. I ordered Power 90 and stuck with it for 60 days. The results were enough to make me order Slim in 6 to do next. However, I never finished Power 90 or started Slim in 6. I moved, stopped working out, and never got back to working out.

Shortly after, I met my husband. While dating, we were always going out to eat or staying in to watch movies and munch away at the junk food. Over the two years we dated, I steadily put on the weight. We got married in October 2006 and I still regret not getting in shape before our wedding. Over the first
year of being married, I continued to gain weight. I reached my all time high of 186 lbs and knew I had to change my lifestyle and get in shape. I felt horrible about how I looked and knew that I was putting myself at risk for medical problems later in life.

I had a wonderful and stable life. The only thing that made me unhappy was how overweight I had gotten. I had run out of excuses for being overweight and it was time to change. This time around I found the Team Beachbody forums for support and have a wonderful coach (actually 2! I am blessed to have met a wonderful husband and wife team) cheering me on. I am determined to stick with it this time no matter what comes my way.

I believe in these programs so much that I've become a coach with Team Beachbody! Please feel free to email me at coachmeremac@gmail.com I would love to hear from you!
