I am 43 years old and married to my husband of 21 years. I am an Executive Assistant and my husband is an IT Technician. I had never had a problem
with my weight when I was growing up. When I was married in 1987 I weighed 107 pounds and a perfect size 7/8. Didn't have to worry about what I looked like because I was fit. Then after 14 ears of marriage God gave us a little girl, Cheyenne, who is now 8. Weight still wasn't a major problem
because I had only gained 23 pounds during pregnancy. My weight problem started when we had financial difficulties and I started turning to food for comfort. A few pounds here and there, then a few more till I found myself at my heaviest weight ever in my life (190 pounds). And the worst thing about it was I didn't even care. Finally our finances were back in order so I quit
worrying and turning to food for reward. I lost down to 173 pounds. While on vacation at the beach, I saw my first info commercial for Slim in 6. I said to myself, I could do that. I ask my husband if we could order it so it would be at home when we got back and he was a little skeptical about it. He thought the results on the commercial were so dramatic that it couldn't
possibly be that good. So I waited. About two weeks later the same info commercial came on again and I ordered the program this time. I made up
my mind I am going to do this because I wanted to be able to wear a swimsuit to the beach instead of shorts and an over-sized t-shirt. I wanted to look and feel pretty again. I wanted my life back. My grandmother on my father's side died of breast cancer and my grandmother on my mother's side died of colon cancer. My mother started out small then became morbidly obese and has always been a border line diabetic. The family history of most of the women in our family on both sides is grim.

Update - 7-26-08 Now that I have been eating heathier and exercising regularly, my energy level has exceeded my expectations. Just got back from
a camping trip and I was able to go hiking to the waterfalls without stopping to catch my breath. Wow, it feels great to have a portion of my life back. Can't wait till you see me in December.

Update - 8-16-08 My husband is no longer skeptical now he is a believer in Slim-in-6. He loves the new body and is a personal encourager now. Just
picked 6 quarts of grapes and back to making jelly (of course, this time with lots less sugar). Energy levels are still high, motivation is higher, body looking slimmer and self confidence is at its best and getting better by the day.

Update - 9-13-08 Worked out 6 days this week and almost ate clean everyday and I lost 3 pounds lowered my body fat 2% more and lost another 1 1/2 inches. Very excited because now I have reached 30 pounds lost, 27.25 inches gone and body fat is decreased by an amazingly 16%!!!! 10.25 inches is off my waist alone, WOW!!!

I encourage all of you to try Beachbody.com just once and you will be hooked.

Update: 9-22-09 Well, I have let myself go and now I need to get back into shape all over again. I went back to my old eating habits and haven't exercised in a year (insert disappointed in myself look here). I am back up to 164 pounds and not very proud of myself. This time I must make permanent changes to my lifestyle and not let life pass by too quickly. With all of your support and encouragement we will make it together. I am going to start over with Slim-in-6 again and get that body I once had.
