Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

I'm a 36 year old with two girls 4 1/2 and 17 months. I was introduced to Beachbody after I had my first daughter, I tried Slim in 6 and P90 and lost 10lbs before becoming pregnant with my second daughter. When she was a few months old (July '07), I dusted off the dvd of Slim in 6, took honest before pictures and pushed play. After completing a round of Slim in 6, I tried P90. I was down 25lbs in that time and was able to attend my husband's Christmas party in a size 10 which was something I hadn't done in 10 years. After the New Year, I began Turbo Jam - I bought them ALL, yes all of the DVD's I used the message boards to find a round that incorporated each workout, by April '08 I was down a total of 40 lbs! And fitting into a size 4! That was when I became active on the boards and met some wonderful people, I trained and completed my first 5K, completed P90X and now I'm training for a 10K and on my second round of P90X. My goal is to complete a 1/2 Marathon the weekend before my 20 yr High School Reunion in July of '09. I could not have achieve the success I've had without Beachbody, the boards, and my coach! I love you Beachbody!!

I want to share with you where the story really begins....growing up in a family that was not health conscious, I ate fried, fatty foods, you know what I mean - all the stuff that was so bad for you. In junior high, I was overweight with low self esteem, I wanted to fit in but just couldn't. I went to High School and realized it was time to make a change, a change I did - I lost weight and looked great, I was a cheerleader on student counsel, had many great friends but the pain and suffering inside was so great, I was suffering from both anorexia and bulima. You see, I felt like I could "control" my weight and being "thin" brought me this sense of happiness, so I thought. I graduated from high school and took a year off and gained weight at a rapid pace, I was depressed since I felt like I had no direction. I decided to go back to school and move away from home, it was an important move for me since I finished my schooling and learned a little about exercise. I worked in the field of physical therapy and began to realize how the body worked and how important fitness was. I maintained a healthy weight while in school but still struggled with poor eating habits and a bit of anorexia. After graduation, I moved to San Francisco where I met my husband. Finally in a happy, healthy relationship I began to "enjoy" life - one pound at a time. We got married and after that my weight skyrocketed to a high of 190lbs. No one knew the pain and depression I felt inside, I hated to look at myself in the mirror, I never wanted to attend events, I didn't have anything that fit and the pain was too awful. I got pregnant with our first daughter and realized that I HAD to make a change. This beautiful girl would look to me for guidance and I could not, would not let her suffer through what I did. I had to be a positive role model and become the person I knew I could be. That's where my journey began. I am so grateful to this company and what they have done for me, Beachbody changed my life in a way I never thought possible!!! Now, both of my daughters and my husband all value the time when spend cooking healthy meals and exercising and REALLY enjoying life.
