My name is Doris McDonald and I am 63 years old. I have worked two full time jobs since 1976. I want to get my mind and body in shape so I can live my life to the fullest. I know that I can have success with my Team Beachbody coach and others to inspire me. Exercising, and keeping in touch with people that are working towards the same goals has become a very big part of my life. I think of it continually. I have heard that it is harder for an older person to get pounds off. I have always had a weight problem. Our family was very poor; we had cornbread, fried potatoes and other fattening foods. I have tried just about everything in the world, including prescription drugs and over the counter solutions. I have also tried many programs
In the year 1981, I lost three sisters in six months, with heart attacks. This is another reason way I want to get in shape. Both of my parents died at an early age. In 2006, my only child, Tami, had a stroke and left us unexpectedly. I have a niece that is very thin who watches her weight, and she is ashamed of her heavy brother and me for being over weight.
I used to say that I had so many physical limitations that I couldn't help my weight problem, that was a lie and I convince myself of this and I kept putting the weight on and now I finally face the truth there are so many things that a person can do to help them to maintain a good weight and stay healthy and active. I think people need to face reality. I began to think there was no hope for me whatsoever. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, until I woke up one morning and said NO! I have a granddaughter, grandson, and a great grandson, but most of all I have MYSELF to live for.

In 2001 I had to have a major back surgery, which left me with 3 rod and 6 screws in my back. My doctors wanted to me to quit work and take life easy, but I want to keep going. I don't want to give up.
I am so glad that Phyllis, my friend and coach here at work turned me on to Team Beachbody. She helps to keep me on track here at work watching what I eat and keeps me away from the junk food. She encourages me to push play so I can become healthy.
I bought Tony and the Folks DVD and I took it to my doctor and he view it and said that I could do this one without the weights. I do my workout about everyday and now I am into walking alot. I hope that I can get on the right track and start losing my weight like I want too. Watching my coach has encouraged me and Tony sent me a message that I should listen to her.

My two grandchildren need me. Also my great-grandson is there for me. Using Tony and the Folks has gotten my bones able to move and I am doing things that people look amazed at.
With the help of my coach and Team BeachBody I am going to make it.
