Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

After having my baby, a year and a half ago, I weighed 150 lbs. - I am 5'6". I began working out as soon as I could, running and sculpting exercises, and within 6 months I was down to 130 lbs., less than my pre-baby size! However, I was practically starving myself and had a very unhealthy relationship to food. I felt like it was the enemy. I also worked out compulsively and was always getting injured. I finally injured my knee to the point where I couldn't run anymore. I also couldn't go to the gym because I was alone with my baby while my husband was serving in Afghanistan. I wound up putting on about 6 pounds and becoming very depressed. That's when I saw the infomercial about Turbo Jam and decided to give it a try. I figured I had nothing to lose, although I was skeptical that an at home workout could be intense enough for me or anywhere near as effective as running. I fell IN LOVE with TJ right away though, from the very first day I tried it! I became very involved in the message boards and formed a huge netowrk of support and friendships. I felt so good about this whole Beach Body experience that I ordered more of their programs - YBB and HHA, which I also love! I have struggled with body image, weight, and food since I was a teenager. I had a severe eating disorder for over 10 years. I haven't had an "active" eating disorder in the past 6 years, BUT my relationship to food and eating has still been unhealthy. Through my experience with the Beach Body community and all the information and support and positivity here, I feel like I am FINALLY finding PEACE with my body and with my relationship to food and eating. I feel like I am finally TRULY healing from the eating disorder that plagued me since I was 13. My journey from my highest weight and size to now: I was once 150 lbs and a size 8. I am now 125 lbs and a size 2 - and those size 2s are actually pretty loose! I have strength and muscle definition head to toe. From the time I began my Beach Body workouts and diet, I have lost 11 lbs and about 5 inches. My BF is down to 13%, AND I have a real six pack for the FIRST time in my life! I always thought I was just "one of those people" that couldn't have a sixpack, as if it was genetically impossible, because all my life I'd had a soft middle. Well, I was wrong! Turbo Jam has done WONDERS for those abs! It is also a sustainable workout, and I don't feel like I am constantly getting injured. So, this can really be a lifelong pursuit. However, I feel like the transformation I have made INTERNALLY with my realtionship to food is the greatest and most significant change I have undergone. I am at peace. I love to eat now! I know that I CAN eat and still be lean and fit. In fact, that I NEED to eat to have the body of my dreams. What a revelation. I no longer crave sweets or junk food. I don't even want a slice of pizza when my husband gets delivery! And on top of ALL THAT, doing TJ and "talking" to my friends on the boards has given me such joy and fulfillment and relieved the depression I used to experience significantly. Thank you BB for CHANGING MY LIFE!
