My name is Graham Paterson. I am a 4th generation Australian. I have lived in the USA on and off since January of 1970. I studied to be a CPA in Australia. I came to the States to study Bible in Texas. After Bible School I graduated from the University of Texas majoring in English with a minor in Classics and Philosophy. I was a self-supporting missionary in Western Australia for 7 years where my wife and I were blessed with two children, Rochelle and Landon. I began full time preaching in New Mexico and after 6 years moved to San Antonio, Texas. A doctrinal dispute lead to my being out of preaching after 12 years of full time ministry. From preaching I went into residential real estate and after 6 years doing that I started a telephone agency successfully selling phone service to businesses. After Jana, my wife of 29 years, died of ovarian cancer and my business failed following 9/11, my world fell apart. I began to recover after I met and married Anna Blakeslee, a wonderful woman from Wisconsin who introduced me to Beachbody. I am in process of completing my doctorate of ministry degree. I am already a certified Master Coach and Trainer of Trainers in NLP, I am a certified Master Practitioner and Trainer of Time Line Therapy®. In addition to these qualifications I am also a certified Master Hypnotherapist. With my wife's encouragement I am back into preaching full time and building our Beachbody business. Beachbody is still transforming my body and my life and increasingly changing my financial status positively as well.

My Progress

My fitness goal:

Transformation story

It was July 2007. My wife handed me the P90 DVDs and said “I think you should do this.” I had high blood pressure and was loosing the sight in my left eye. The increased blood pressure in one blood vessel closed off the flow of blood in another it crossed preventing the blood from leaving my eye as fast as it entered. This caused my retina to swell so much I lost capacity to read with that eye. My studying suffered and I had headaches. At 313lbs and 60 years of age this was not good. The eye specialist to whom I was referred injected a shot of chemo into my eye to shrink my blood vessels. My research revealed that chemo was poisonous and carcinogenic. This information convinced me there had to be a better way. Tony Horton’s video showed it to me. Thanks to the exercise and eating program I let go 30 pounds. When Anna, my wife, won $1,000 in September 2007 for her transformation story I saw Beachbody could be an income earner for us. After Anna was asked to be a coach she had me check it out. I was so impressed with what I saw we both signed up. Since becoming a coach in 2008 I have released another 28lbs and feel great. Being a coach has added great motivation for me to be a product of the product. I love to hear people ask what I am doing to look so great. I also love it that I have made great friends through Beachbody. I am now repeatedly amazed at how many obese people I am seeing. Having been there I am eager to share the Beachbody story with them too.
