I am 49 years old and a workaholic (say my friends). I love learning new things. I get excited about challenges. I think I am really a playaholic. I was my normal feel great weight, 150 lbs in 2003, but since then have gained 60+ lbs. How could I of all people fall into such a state? My stress levels were high, and I was not the happy person I was before. I had a son in Iraq proudly serving our country, and a teenage son that was struggling through his last years at home, and facing layoffs at work as the company I worked for downsized. I let the stress and anxieties take over. I let other influences take over that were not healthy including my food choices. I began eating to relieve the anxiety or depression. A favorite stress reliever was a candy bar or two a day. Fast food was often a choice because I had no energy to plan and prepare anything healthy. I weighed 217 lbs by the fall of 2007. My blood pressure was increasing, I had pain in my feet and knees. My health was starting to decline in many areas. I tried losing weight by training for a half marathon, or working out at a gym, but the results were meager and I quit after 2 months each. One day I came across an infomercial for Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer. I checked it out online, and felt confident I could commit to 10 minutes to work this program. What a difference this program was. I didn’t have to plan the meals, the Beachbody website planned a perfect doable menu for me. I started taking Activit Metabolism supplements at the same time. The workouts left me with energy to spare. I began walking outside after the workouts. After 30 days, I lost 15 lbs. It has now been 50 days. I have am 30 lbs less than last year, and 15” smaller on major measurements. My energy is back. My jolliness is coming back. My stress isn’t killing me any more.

Transformation story

I worked through Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer for 30 days, and have now started Power 90, and what a difference! I was doing nothing before except perhaps a 15 minute walk 2 times a week at lunch with coworkers. My energy was so low before that I would not even get up and walk outside. I have been trying to lose weight for the last year, but keep gaining. I have not been less than 200 lbs in over 18 months though I have trained for a half marathon, hiked these mountains by my home, and worked out early morning in a gym for 6 weeks. It is amazing to me the difference something so little as 10 – 30 minutes of working out in front of the TV each day has made over the hours I was spending on the weekends before. So what is the difference? One major thing is that I immediately started the Beachbody suggested diet, Low Carb Express, and committed to push PLAY. I come home and before I sit down, I change and push play. Now, I have energy to do more by either a longer exercise set, or a walk outside. The weather is gorgeous, sunsets beautiful, and I feel wonderful. I even like the Low Carb diet! I am paying attention to how I feel when I have the meals. I am satisfied, and stay satisfied until the next meal. Then, week 3 I worked harder, ate less, and didn't lose weight. But, I did lose inches and my estimate body fat went from 31% to 28%. I think I wasn't eating enough this week. Week 4, I carefully followed the plan and did three 10 minutes a day. Wow! I lost weight again! After just 30 days, I lost 15 lbs and 10 inches. Check out the picture. It really is noticeable! What I love is that I am so comfortable with this type program with the diet, supplements, and support on the website, that I feel I really can do this as a lifestyle change.
