I began my journey with Beachbody® in 2009 when I received Slim in 6 in my mailbox. I made the decision to purchase the program because I had tried time after time to get rid of the body fat around my hips and thighs, but nothing I did seemed to work. I decided that what I needed was a structured program like SI6. At first, I was concerned with the cost because I tend to watch every penny, but with the 6 week money-back guarantee, there was no way I could lose (besides weight and inches) and if it worked, it would be well worth the $60 I paid for it. Little did I know that I would come so far in the following 6 weeks! Where I am today is priceless!

Prior to Slim in 6, I was not necessarily overweight, but at 122 lbs, I had a great deal of body fat, especially in the hip and thigh area. I do not remember the last time I wore a bathing suit in public and I even felt embarrassed to wear shorts in the summer because I hated the way the backs of my legs looked. Today, I love the way I look!

Many of my friends and family members tell me that they feel the exact same way that I did before I started the SI6 workout. My advice to others: If you want results and you work hard for those results, they will come with Beachbody® products! I’ve seen it first hand and I would have a difficult time promoting something I didn’t completely believe in! If you decide to start your own journey toward optimal health, I would like to be there to assist along the way. If you have any questions about the Beachbody programs, supplements and/or meal plans, just ask!

Your friend in fitness,

Janell Kraus

My Progress

My fitness goal: Tone Up

Transformation story

In the short time I worked out with Slim in 6 and Hip Hop Abs, I lost 7 lbs, 2 inches from the waist, 1 inch from the hips and 1 inch from each thigh. These areas were the main areas I wanted to see results and I reached my goals within 3 months! I realize these results may not seem dramatic but with the Beachbody programs and greatly improving my nutrition, I was able to break through the plateau and lose "the last 5 pounds." In general, I feel great!

Before and after Slim in 6:

Weight – 122.4 to 118.6
Waist – 27.75 to 26.25
Hips – 37.75 to 37.25

Following the six week round of SI6, I began working out to Shaun T’s Hip Hop Abs. I had seen infomercials for HHA, but the words Hip Hop and Abs led me to believe that it was not my type of workout. Boy, was I ever wrong! I love Shaun T! His workouts are so energetic and fun…I couldn't wait
to workout every day!

My results from HHA after 6 weeks:

Weight – 118.6 to 114.4 (my goal weight was 118)
Waist – 26.25 to 25.25 (my goal was 26)
Hips – 37.25 to 36 (this was my goal for hips)

After much thought my next workout was ChaLean Extreme. Since I had lost all the weight I needed to lose, I wanted to start building muscle. As you will see from my results below, though, I continued to lose weight instead of gaining. Because of this, I've decided to continue with ChaLean Extreme's resistance workouts 3 days a week and Brazil Butt Lift for cardio and sculpting the other 3 days.

My results from ChaLean Extreme:

Weight - 114.4 to 111.8
Waist - 25.25 to 24.5
Hips - 36 to 35.5

Within 7 months, I dropped 10.6 lbs, 3.25 inches from the waist, 2.25 inches from the hips and 2.5 inches from each (mid) thigh. That is actually amazing to me because I was able to break through the plateau that I was stuck at for the last 10+ years!

If someone asked me: Do Beachbody products really work? My answer would be YES! I am living proof!
