Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

I can remember thinking that the time had come to make some changes. I stepped on the scale and it read 212 pounds! That was one year after having baby number 5! We were done having kids and I was ready to reclaim my body! I bought a stair climber and committed to 30 minutes 6 days a week. 30 days later there were no visible changes. Brook and I were up late one night and saw the Power 90 commercial on TV. It looked like it would work. No gimmicks, no phony sales job, just do the workouts, eat right and lose the weight! WE WERE SOLD!

The day we started the program was tough. Brook's mother passed away that day, she was 72. Her and her brothers had suffered from heart related issues previously. It left Brook and I hoping that nothing like this would be passed down to our kids. The best way to combat heart issues is to eat healthy and stay fit. That became my mission! Get my family fit and healthy! Her passing would have been a good excuse to get side tracked but instead it was a great motivator for us to make healthy changes! Being a better role model for our kids was also another strong incentive. Everywhere I looked seemed to lead me back to getting fit! Now was the time!

That first round of Power 90 was AMAZING! I was hooked! I have been a member of the Team Beachbody community for almost 6 years now. I have done Power 90, P-90 Master Series, Power Half Hour, Slim in 6, Slim Series, Slim Series Express, P-90X and P-90X+. I lost 15 pounds in my very first month, 28 pounds in the first 90 days! I have trimmed inches off of my hips and waist and shed 45 pounds of body fat!! The programs and community message boards have helped me make fitness a part of my every day life!!

Now that I have a great fitness foundation I am able to incorporate that into the lives of my husband and children. Having 5 kids makes for a busy lifestyle! Being healthy and fit better equips me to handle all that my day requires....and then some!! My family is healthier and as a result we are all happier!!

Being fit allowed me to start running back in January of 2006. In May of 2007 I was able to run in my first 10K! Something I would have never dreamed of doing before!! My husband is now doing karate, jui jitsu and some amateur MMA fighting. 4 of our five kids are taking karate classes. We are having a blast and staying fit!

In 2008 I was diagnosed with menorrhagia and was told I was severely anemic. I had a procedure done to help correct the anemia (a uterine ablation). Looking back at my blood work I figured I was probably anemic close to 3 years prior to being diagnosed. During that time I gained 30 pounds (brining my weight to the current 167 pounds). I was faithful to my workouts but my energy level was slowly drained to a point where a daily nap was necessary for me to function. The daily workout habit I had formed really helped me to stay fit at a time when I probably would have otherwise experienced devastating weight gain. My iron levels are now normal and my energy is increasing more and more each month!

Thanks so much to Tony, Carl, Jon and everyone at Team Beachbody!! I look forward to many more years of staying fit and being connected to the Team Beachbody community!! So much has changed since that first workout on January 28th 2003. Saying thank you just doesn't do it justice!

Sincerely, Diva D.
