Hi Everyone,

Well, let's make a long story short. I WAS skinny fat. No really. Here is what did it: Years of bad dieting, not eating enough, doing cardio workouts without enough strength training (the endless hours of running, elliptical, stairmaster climbs), and alas, the eventual giving out of my back leading to 2 years of near zero exercise.

Hi Everyone,

Well, let's make a long story short. I WAS skinny fat. No really. Here is what did it: Years of bad dieting, not eating enough, doing cardio workouts without enough strength training (the endless hours of running, elliptical, stairmaster climbs), and alas, the eventual giving out of my back leading to 2 years of near zero exercise.

In July of 2010 I'd had enough. It wasn't enough that I wore a size 2 or a 4...I knew I wasn't healthy and fit. No one believed me-I hid the blubber well. I went and paid to get BodPod measurements, which confirmed what I already knew, that no one else who saw me in clothes believed: 29.8% body fat! Call it 30%. That was it. Tired of being tired and spinning my wheels doing the same things that didn't bring me the results I wanted, I finally committed to p90X. I won't lie-I've prayed a lot, and asked for strength from above on days I felt I couldn't do it. It wasn't just the workouts, it was eating more than I thought I should, and struggling with old patterns of thinking: "that's too much food!! I'll get fat! I don't want to get bulky!!!". Casting doubts aside and facing the reality that what I'd been doing wasn't working, I said " I can stand it for 30 days. It's only 30 days of my life to experiment with eating more and risking "bulky". I ate what the food plan told me was necessary for me to put on lean weight. The first 4 days I was never once hungry. I went to bed feeling full and bloated, and woke up full. I ate anyways. On the 5th day, I woke up starving!

Well, it's paid off because my life has changed. I am leaner, have more energy, more joy, and best of all, I feel stronger than ever. As of this writing in September of 2010, I still haven't graduated from the X, but I have no doubt that I will, and I'll keep going to bigger challenges!

UPDATE October 2011: Still going strong with Beachbody. I simply can't believe the changes I've seen in my health and energy and I'm thrilled to inspire and motivate others to experience what only those who've conquered their doubts and just kept pushing play can experience! Beachbody is the bomb ya'll. It's changing lives!

FAST FORWARD JANUARY 2012. I'm still here folks! A couple rounds of p90X, a little experimentation with Chalene Extreme, back to p90X, and now tackling Insanity. I resisted and resisted because I'm not a "sales" person, but I am so passionate about, and believe so much in the life-changing power of Beachbody products that I've decided to be a coach. I tell everyone who will listen about my transformation, not just physical, but spiritual as well, and I want to help you too.
