SO here is an update as of June 2011. I have not been on beachbody for quite a long time. I have two kids: Samantha is almost 3 and Makayla is 5 months and they keep me really busy. I have struggled with my weight since I had Samantha since I have been on and off of prednisone since then for my colitis and it makes me incredibly hungry and causes a lot of water retention. I have been having horrible flare-ups when not on the prednisone which makes it impossible to workout and lose the weight that I gained on the prednisone... add another kid into that mix and I am at my heaviest right now than I have ever been in my entire life. I am ready to get back to business. I am starting slow since it has been a long time and will be doing the Moms Into Fitness 60 day Slim Down. After that I will go back to my P90 videos or maybe TJ depending on my fitness level at that point.

I started BB awhile ago. I started Slim in 6 and got very discouraged. I did not really use the message boards except when my knee pain began to see if anyone was in the same boat. So I called and exchanged my order to Power 90. After P90, I continued on with PHH and kept up with it all. I was then fitting into the 10 no problem, 8s as well and the pants that have been laughing at me in the closet for the past few months fit quite well. I could not believe how I let myself go! Then I had some health issues that made it almost impossible for me to continue with my workout regime but I tried to push through it. Within that time, I gained back 12 pounds since my body was not digesting food properly. I was in a PhD program and was struggling a bit with getting the time in to workout and eating healthy. In March of 2006, I injured my back and hip and was on the injured reserve list until Decemeber. I got married in St. Thomas in June of 2006 and was still okay with my weight enough that I was still comfortable in the bikini. It was amazing. After the wedding, I continued to try to do some movement but at times that even hurt. Unfortunately, I gained all my weight back plus some more and started at ground zero in the size 14s on Decemeber 25, 2006. Things got better and then I had my first child and now have a second... the rest if history. I have done P90, PHH, P90 Masters Series,the original Turbo Jam and a few more.

I am ready to make a commitment now for my kids. I realize that this is a life commitment and I plan on pushing through and getting back to where I want to be! This time around, I am going to make it a lifestyle change, to add working out to my life... not just as a motivator to lose some weight! :-)

My Progress

My fitness goal: Get Healthy

Transformation story

I did P90 and lost 22 pounds and a lot of inches. I then continued with PHH and added some P90 sweat in there every once in awhile. I then decided to try out another round of P90 but got bored after day 15. I could not get myself motivated to continue. I finished five weeks of P:U and took a break from it to do another round of PHH. I have not felt this good in a long time. I am not as motivated as I was with P90 but plan to keep up the results and hopefully loose more weight in my thighs. That is the new target area. Plan to keep it up! I jammed with Turbo Jam! It was a lot of fun but I was struggling with results since my life was getting so busy and I could manage workouts 4 days a week Thursday through Sunday. I then continued with the MS. Absolutely loved it and was able to workout for about 4 weeks until I injured myself in March. I had to stop working out and start going to PT which if those of you that have gone before, know there is really no true workout there.. I got the okay to start the workouts again at 3 days a week in December which is really exciting for me. I unfortunately do not look as lovely as that picture above at the moment but that picture is definitely my motivation to get back. I was at 163 when I started in December and will see where I have gotten to in a few weeks. That was about 5 years ago in 2006 and now I am ready to do it again.
