In 2001, I was working on an ulcer, my doctor had put me on Prozac for my job; and I was in the worst shape of my life. I remember trying to convince myself that the clothes “were just cut smaller” and that was why the girl that never wore anything larger than a 6 through college was suddenly in 14-16s. I didn’t own a scale personally, but when I visited family for Christmas, I told myself the scale must be out of whack, because there was no way I weighed more than 160 pounds!
Like many women, I found that there were literally hundreds of weight loss plans out there. I'd try one, combine it with some amount of exercise; lose a little weight, but that weight loss never lasted. Some holiday or vacation, or "bad week" and *poof* that weight would come right back, and sometimes with reinforcements!
Finally, I realized I couldn’t conquer what I don’t know. I didn’t KNOW how to eat right, or how to work out effectively, somehow not only had I never been trained on this, it was never even identified as something people SHOULD be trained on!
So, I started reading. If you’ve ever done a search for “weight loss” or “fitness” on Google, you’ll know the sheer volume of results is overwhelming! But I really wanted to succeed, and the only way to conquer something you don’t understand is to try and learn about it. I kept on keeping on, until I found a program that made sense, and people to help me make it work.
I found Beachbody the way you want to find a new program – reading someone else’s success story. A link off of one of the blogs that I regularly read talked about this new (fabulous) program that was helping someone else lose the last of her weight, and look the best she had in her life.
I wanted that – I could see NO reason I shouldn’t be a success story too!
So, I ordered the program, crossed my fingers and committed to my first 90 days.
With Beachbody, specifically Tony and Chalene, I’ve been able to get the last of the weight off, and fit back in those 6-8 clothes I thought were gone forever.
More importantly, I’ve learned I can do ANYTHING I set my mind to, and get help with. The girl who couldn’t have run a block in 2001 has run two half marathons and countless road races for shorter distances. I have new supportive friends, I feel better, I look better, and I LOVE how Beachbody supports me in keeping improving myself!
Thank you Beachbody!
