When I was a child I was very thin. Everyone called me "skinny mini" =). I was thin all the way up to age 18. I got married just after my 18th birthday, weighing in at 118 and 5'6" tall. I very quickly became pregnant. I didn't gain a whole lot of weight during that pregnancy but I did with the following 2. I always tried dieting...I never really knew how to eat healthy. I grew up in the south, where I still live, and all people eat here is deep fried EVERYTHING! If you've ever seen Paula Deen on tv, thats how we eat here. I love to cook and make people happy with food, which is a big problem when you cook like I did! (I am now changing that)..I love sweets, such as ANYTHING sweet! And I love to bake, and make mostly deserts. That is where my problem has always been.

I would go back and forth, on a diet, then fall off and dive head first back into the sweet, greasy, salty mess that I loved so much. But I was never happy with myself. I was always self consious...if I saw someone I went to school with I'd think, "man, I know they are thinking about how fat I have gotten since school!" I hated that feeling. I joined a boot camp in our town 3 yrs ago weighing 155 and stayed with it for about 3 months. I had to get up at 5:30am to be there at 6am. I am not a morning person and I hated getting up that early. In that 3 months I lost 20 pounds. That put me back down to about 135. I was comfortable with how I looked and was tired of getting up that early so I quit. Over the next 2 years I took cake decorating classes and of course I had to practice at home, so guess who ate the cakes? I gained 40 pounds!!! Spiking me up to 175! The most I have ever weighed in my life!! I decided that I had to do something or I was just going to keep getting bigger and bigger. I was in BAD shape! I couldn't even walk out to our mail box, just about 50ft from our house without having to work at it. I wouldn't get 5 steps and be out of breath.
Around that time my BIL bought P90X..I had never heard of it then but I wanted to do it anyway! Of course when I found out how intense it is, I quickly changed my mind. So my BIL told me that there was a Power 90. I got online and googled P90X and found Beachbody. I looked for Power 90, found it, and ordered it. I also immediatly joined the beachbody club to access the meal plans and to have a coach. I really liked the idea of having someone to be accountable to and to count on if I had questions. I recieved Power 90 and got started right away. I had great results, I lost 12 lbs and 13 inches off of my body. Now I've finished a round of P90X and I loved it!! I'm not where I want to be yet, but I am on my way there, thanks to Beachbody and my coach, Lee Ratterman!!
