My Buddies (53)

Hi I'm Wendy! I'm a 30 yr old mom to one and proud military wife. I gained 65 lbs with my daughter and with BeachBody products I've lost most of the weight and KNOW I will lose the remaining few pounds and keep it off.

I have been so amazed with BeachBody products that I tossed out all my other DVDs and became a Coach. Helping others keeps me motivated and you can't beat getting paid to stay fit!

When I was in my early 20s I had put on about 15-20 lbs, I then would yo-yo 10 lbs on top of that for years. In 2002 I bought Power 90 and I did it for a few months lost inches but at 23 was more into going out and being young than being in shape. In 2004 I bought Slim in 6 did that for maybe a week by this time I was married, we had bought a house and were busy decorating and traveling. In 2006 my husband was deployed. My normal coping mechanism when my husband was away was to devour ice cream by the pint…every night. Guess you can say Ben & Jerry became my substitute hubby! This would lead me to not eating and exercising obsessively trying to lose the weight I gained before my husband returned. This time a co-worker and I started to encourage each other to workout and eat healthy. So I pulled out my DVDs, blew off the dust and Pushed Play. I started out with Slim in 6 but after four weeks, switched to Power 90. I was losing pounds but more noticeable were the inches lost. The fat was melting away and my sizes kept dropping, and dropping until I was a size 4.

When my husband saw me he couldn’t believe the transformation. I was two sizes smaller than when we were married. Shortly after his return I got pregnant with our first child. Seemed the only way to battle the morning sickness (all day sickness) was if I constantly had food on my stomach. Not just any food, high carbohydrate foods. Even worse was I had a strong aversion to veggies, I couldn’t stand how they felt in my mouth. Pregnancy does weird things to the body! I ended up gaining 65 pounds!

After I had my daughter I did lose about 20 pounds in the first few weeks, which was the water weight but the remaining 43 pounds was pure fat. The sleek shape I had worked so hard at carving out was gone. It took months for me to adjust to motherhood. I was finding a hard time finding the balance of just getting through the day on a few hours sleep. I didn’t have the time, energy or even desire to exercise.

Finally, I decided I wanted my old body back. Out come the DVDs! I knew the programs would work and they have! I can button my pre-pregnancy jeans and I just have a few more pounds/inches to go and I’ll be able to breathe in them! =)

My Progress

Transformation story

After having my baby I have had a hard time finding the time, energy and motivation to get back in shape. Knowing that these products work I pulled out the DVDs and logged on to the site. I found a great thread on the forums of mommies just like me, some with even more responsibilities and thought if they can do it... so can I.

I started working out and I have changed so much and I don't mean just physically. It isn't just the pounds/inches that I've lost, it is what I have gained that has inspired me to start coaching. I had a hard time adjusting to mommyhood, and being so far away from my friends and family. I had a serious case of baby blues and felt like I had lost my identity. I started out wanting to lose the baby weight but working out has helped me so much with my fatigue, stress and mood. I feel so much better inside and the fact the outside is looking better is just gravy! I really hope I can help others, especially mommies, have the same inner and outer transformation that I have experienced.
