My name is Kristi Miller. I am a 35 year old student and stay-at-home mom to 4 kids, I have the best husband ever and I never imagined myself with the amazing life that I have now!
As a kid, I always played sports. You name it, I have probably played it at some point in my life. When I graduated high school I got married, decided not to go to college at the time and found out quickly that all those sports I played had let me eat whatever I wanted and never worry about my weight…I started gaining weight at age 19 and have had a battle with my weight since. I steadily gained over the years and when I got pregnant at 23 I weighed a whopping 170 lbs.(have I mentioned I am only 5'3"?) BEFORE I even put on any baby weight!! After giving birth I settled in around 185 lbs. Someone had taken a picture of me with my son and I was astonished at the very large person I saw and this really “freaked” me out. I knew I had to do something, but what??? So I started trying every diet and pill I could get my hands on just to lose the weight and gain it back along with a few extra…believe me I have tried every pill, potion, and diet plan known to man and some were successful BUT what I finally realize now is that there is nothing that will work better than watching what you eat AND exercising. I had become addicted to “working out” but I still ate whatever I wanted, so I know that it takes BOTH to make a lasting difference.
Life got crazy and I ended up getting divorced before the age of 30. I am an emotional eater and while I was in my first marriage, I had taken comfort in food when things got bad. This was the first thing that I had to deal with. After I had removed myself from the situation that was making me eat so much, things were looking up. When I met the man of my dreams, I had been holding steady at 145 lbs. for several years. Even though I felt much better about myself, I felt I could do better. I really wanted to wear size 8. I needed some motivation. Well, in January 2006 I found out I had MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and I got scared and finally realized that for my family’s sake and my own that I needed to take control. I started working out 5 days a week AND drastically changed my diet. Now I finally had both aspects working together and guess what? I reached my goal and beyond…I actually got into a size 4 which wasn’t sustainable for me and I settled in with a size 6. Not bad…I looked better and felt great! The best thing was that ALL of my MS symptoms were gone and my self esteem went through the roof. I don’t get sick very often either, the benefits are abundantly clear to me now. Because I did not have any support in my weight loss journey, when I heard about BeachBody I wondered where they had been all my life. I have been there and I want to help you through your journey!!!!
It is wonderful how God works…without the support of my wonderful husband, the news of my diagnosis would have sent me spiraling out of control. People are put into your life for a reason and I know that this is what I am supposed to do. God never gives you anything you can’t handle, so let’s get started!
