Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

I was a college athlete for 2 years but once I stopped competitive sports I began to struggle with my weight. The last 10 years have been the toughest. My husband and I have tried lots of workouts and diet programs over the years but we always burn out.

In August of 2008 I was 270 pounds! I worked on losing some weight through October but in December our friends introduced us to P90X. We started P90X right before Christmas and now we are in round 3 of P90X.

Since August of 2008 I have lost 50 pounds (37 of those where during my 26 weeks on P90X)!

I have lost 2 clothes size in pants, 3 clothes sizes in shirts and dresses. It is so nice to be able to shop in any store again. In inches I have lost 20+ inches over my entire body. I didn’t start tracking my inches until I was 6 weeks into our 1st round of P90X so I would say it is probably closer to 30 inches because I lost 15 pounds in the 1st 6 weeks and I know that I lost a lot of inches. Unfortunately I haven’t tracked my fat and muscle %. I know I would be seeing a huge difference in those ratios.

My goal is to successfully lose the weight; keep it off once and for all. I know I can now with all of the Beachbody workouts, nutrition and support! During my 1st 13 weeks of P90X I was watching what I ate and making better food choices but I didn’t track my food in take at all. During my next 13 weeks I used my iPod Touch “Lose It” application to track my calories and weight loss on a daily basis. In addition made a big effort to cook and eat at home vs. eating out. It has been very enlightening to track my food and has really shown me that I still don’t make all the right choices. P90X does offer a nutrition program with it but we haven’t followed it. It has just been a personal choice Chad and I have made because we feel that tracking calories is a better solution for us to ensure we are successful for a lifetime vs. burning out on a nutrition program. Now that I am a Team Beachbody member I am going to look at the meal plans and recipes and start incorporating those in.

I am not going to tell you it is been easy because it is hard and intense every week. Tony Horton is great, fun, and motivating. We keep bringing it each and every week. Don’t get me wrong we have days or weeks that are still a struggle but with the changes we see in our body each week it keeps us going. I am lucky to be taking this journey with my husband Chad so we continue to push each other on days we are struggling.

I am still a work in progress! My goal is to lose an additional 60 pounds! I still have a lot to accomplish. I am going to keep pushing myself everyday!



Top 5 Reasons I LOVE P90X!

1. It is like having your own personal trainer at home.
2. It is at home so no excuse not workout. “I didn’t make it to the gym today!” (You need minimal at home equipment.)
3. Week 1 or Week 27 it is still challenging every workout and I get sore every workout.
4. I love how it makes me feel! Motivated, Self-Confident, and I finally remembered that I am an athlete.
5. It is a great role model for my kids. They like to workout with us. They are too cute.

As Tony Horton says “Just Keep Pushing Play”

We have be fortune to motivated many people to start P90X. Just as our friends Melanie and Juan motivated us to start. We want to motivate you! Are you ready? I am here to help you on your journey all you have to do is say yes.
