My name is Cindy Gipson. I am a wife to a wonderful man, Dallas. I just recently became a mother to a precious little girl, Presley. We currently live in Gainesville, Fl. My husband is in the US Navy, so our location changes every 2 yrs or so.

I found beachbody one night when I was watching an infomercial about Turbo Jam and decided this was the workout for me. I didn't realize what an AWESOME community beachbody was until I got the Turbo Jam DVDs and kept hearing "Go to beachbody.com to get support." I decided to check it out and man they weren't kidding. Beachbody isn't just a company that sales fitness DVDs. It is a company that is TRULY dedicated to people getting healthy and having a fuller life.

I became a Turbo Jam junkie and would visit teambeachbody.com regularly to get recipe ideas, training tips and to find out what was going on with the people in the turbo jam videos. It was wonderful. I even had a little gang of friends that would do turbo jam with me 3-4xs a week.

When I got pregnant with Presley I didn't gain a lot of weight in the beginning. In fact, I was still doing Turbo Jam at 6 1/2months pregnant. I felt great!

Then we moved back to the states from Italy when I was just shy of 7 months pregnant and soon after that I developed a condition called pre-eclampsia. In the last month and a half that I was pregnant I gained 30lbs of fluid. As you can imagine this wrecked my body! I now had gained a total of 50lbs. That's right. I weighed in at 175 on a 5ft frame the day Presley was born. The only way to "cure" the pre-eclampsia was to perform an emergency c-section. On top of having all that weight gain I lost all of my core strength with the c-section. For me loosing the strength in my core and the rest of my body was the worse. I cheered in college, so having control over my body was something I always had.

I sat for about 5 1/2 months after Presley was born just miserable about my image. Of course, I couldn't show anyone because new mommies are suppose to be happy and joyful. I was over my baby, but felt I had lost who I was physically. Because after cheering in college and being able to control my body was something I lived for.

As if that wasn't enough I was also struggling with the fact that I needed to be helping my family financially while I also stayed at home with my new baby. Being a stay at home mom I have tried other network marketing businesses. All of them work and are wonderful they just weren't things I was passionate about. So, I decided as far as the finances were concerned I wouldn't worry anymore and just focus on Presley. I did however realize I could stop pouting about my body and DO something about it. I decided I didn't care how I looked but I did want to FEEL better in order to keep up with Presley and future children. That day I decided to try Turbo Jam again. Before I finished the first workout (which was not easy-I cried!) I remembered how much I loved it and decided I would work out every day that week. In that first week I lost 3 pounds just with doing Turbo Jam. It obviously was what my body was needing.

Within a week of me deciding to start working out again and starting Turbo Jam I got an email about the coaching opportunity with Beachbody. I initially thought, a business where all I have to do is motivate people and point them in the direction of getting healthy-yes I will do this. Then, I took three steps back. I had done this before and the last thing I wanted was to fail at something again. Then it hit me. Even if all I do is motivate people to get in shape, change their lives and make no money this job would make me happy. That was different than before. Before all I cared about was making a few extra bucks a month. With this opportunity I will get to see people do a 180 in their lives right from their livingrooms!! This is something I am passionate about and LOVE.

I can't wait to meet all of my new clients and potential coaches. Together, with Team Beachbody, we can help change America's obesity problem and get our friends and family excited about being active again!!!! If we make some money in the process, well, that would be a cool bonus! I look forward to the transformation of our bodies and inevitably our minds, spirit and finances!!
