Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

I am 47 years old. I have a wonderful wife and four great children. Like a lot of people, I got lazy. I simply allowed myself to gain weight.
In March of 2012, after taking a shower, I got a good glimpse of myself in the mirror. I did not like the man in the mirror. I weighed 220 lbs. I am only 5'7" tall, so that's about 50 pounds over what I should be.
It was right then and there that I made that decision to change. It started small. I started walking. Eventually, the walking turned into running. I gave up the soda's, the chips, and a lot of other unhealthy foods. I joined a gym, I went regular.
My goals changed as I progressed and lost weight. By April, I was below 210 pounds. By June, I was below 200 pounds. And by July, I was just at 190. And in September I ran in my very first Mud Run. Not only did I run in it, but I completed it. I passed every obstacle the first time around.
But I reached a plateau.
I discovered Team Beach Body through a friend. I came to the site, like a lot of people and really did not do anything for a few months.
I watched the infocommercial on Insanity. I decided in August, that was my new goal. I didn't order right away, I had some excuses. Then in October I made the decision that my excuses were not good enough. I'm going to do this.
I ordered Insanity and received a free week supply of Shakeology. I was hesitant about the product. I thought to myself, this stuff cost a lot of money.
But let me just say this. In one week of taking Shakeology, tweaking my nutrition with the help of my coach, and starting the Insanity program I lost five pounds. The plateau was broken. The nutrition with the aid of Shakeology and Insanity, kicked started my body back into a fat burning stage. And now I am progressing again.
Where am I today? January, 2013. I took a health screening test. For the first time in over 20 years, my numbers are in the excellent range. BP 102 over 66, Pulse 48, all cholesterol numbers in the normal range. And remember, almost a year ago my doctor wanted me on cholesterol medicine. I know in large part to Shakeology, I'm in the best shape now than I have been in over 20 years
I decided to become a coach. Because I know the frustration of trying to lose weight. I know about all the different methods out there. I know what it's like to struggle and not see any progress. I've been there. But I am learning and I am progressing. And I want to share that with others. I want to be able to tell other people, that they can take control of their lives.
