How can say what was the last straw? When did I finally just say, "this is
enough! I'm tired of this!" I just remember watching late night TV in
summer 2004, drinking a glass of wine and flipping channels. I saw an
infomercial about Slim in 6 and was intrigued about the TV offer. Not

How can say what was the last straw? When did I finally just say, "this is
enough! I'm tired of this!" I just remember watching late night TV in
summer 2004, drinking a glass of wine and flipping channels. I saw an
infomercial about Slim in 6 and was intrigued about the TV offer. Not
intrigued because of the product or the claimed results, although I must say
I was a little bit interested in that. I was intrigued to find out whether I
could call the next day instead of the next 15 minutes and still get the same
offer. When I checked out the BB website the next day, the fitness solution
finder caught my eye. When I took the quiz, Power 90 was suggested. I
ordered it. I read through some of the testimonials and decided right then
that I would not be one of those folks who ordered the product and then
threw the DVDs in the corner for a few months. If I was going to order it,
then I was going to give it a try.

So, that's what I did. I started using the DVD the day after I received it.
Took my photos -- a humbling experience to say the least. I had never
been this heavy before. When I quit smoking the year before I had put on
even more weight. I was determined to take it off again using exercise and
not just some diet program.

I faithfully worked out every single one of the 90 days, even when I was on
vacation. Even when I worked 18 hour days during the summer music
camps. Even when I traveled. Even when I had to stay in someone else's
home. Even when I had to get up at 4 am to complete the workout.

I did not really watch what I ate. I just made myself aware of what I was
eating. I did commit to cutting out all fast food completely, and I have stuck
to that commitment since I started the BB programs. I made progress --
maybe not as much as I expected, but then I hadn't really been following a
food regimen. Still, I felt better from the first week on. And I lost weight
and lots of inches! I started thinking of the possibilities: what next? I
became intrigued with the P90X program.

I started P90X the day after I completed P90. I followed the food program
completely and cut out all sugar for the entire 90 days -- even though this
spanned Thanksgiving and Xmas. I lost even more weight and inches. The
picture you see above was the end of the P90X program.

I completed Slim in 6 next, losing an additional 7 pounds but no inches.
That's OK, because people are commenting daily about how skinny I'm
getting. So, something is still working. I've added running into my weekly
program as well.

I'm about to start another BB program, and then another, and then another.
I plan to do the X program again next fall. I want to cycle through P90
again; can't have too much Tony!

The best part for me about this entire Beachbody journey isn't just what it's
done for me, although that's really terrific! It's what it is doing for the
people around me. As I succeeded in my own efforts, folks took notice and
started asking me about my program. I just gave them the address of my
Beachbody home page and told them to check out the day 1 and day 180
pictures. They did, and then they ordered the program for themselves! And
I've found out that several of my co-workers -- former Beachbody users --
were motivated to push play once again.

The very best part though was my sister. I sent her Power 90 for Xmas, and
she loves it! Her husband has joined her as well. Now she's making plans
to join the P90X group too. How cool is that?

Thanks, Tony and all the rest of the Beachbody gang. Customer service is
terrific -- great folks to chat with. The message boards have been a blast,
and I've met some wonderful folks along the way. And the supplements and
other BB products are just fantastic! Love that recovery drink!

This is more than a fitness program ("it's not some silly little class," as Tony
says). It's a lifestyle. It's a terrific lifestyle. It's a club too, a big family.
And that's something I never got from a silly little class.

I've seen the infomercials again, but this time it was early in the morning
right after completing one of my workouts. I think back to the first
infomercial I saw in the middle of the night last summer a year ago and the
unhealthy lifestyle I was engaged in at the time. How things have changed
now! Now I'm actually working out during the infomercials and living an
active life with more vitality, energy, and commitment.

I have learned a lot about myself on this journey. I have applied all that I
have learned about attitude and "bringing it" to my life's work -- teaching. I
think about my life now like I think about my DVD/VCR. I don't hit the
pause button too many times. Now I just keep pushing play and bringing it
and living it!

Thanks, BB! You helped me to decide, commit, and succeed! Keep pushing
play!
