Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

I have really come a long way! I am so excited because in years past I would
give up in 3 months and gone back to the way I was. I’m not going back this
new body feels too good! To tell you the truth I wasn’t sure what my goals
were at first and now I have truly come to a place I haven’t been for over 10
years. I am 5’7” and a year ago weighed 226lbs. I found myself panting to
make it up the stairs in my home. Tired and exhausted I would spend most of
my day on the couch eating and watching TV. My four children often wanted
me to go, go , go, but I just couldn’t.
Last October, around my birthday I decided I was really going to change, so
I began to go for walks just to get moving. One of my family members who
had already been involved with Beachbody heard about how I was trying to
live a healthier life. His call honestly has changed my life because the
programs, tools, and accountability this club has to offer is exactly what I
needed to keep going.
I started the P90 program in January 2007 and lost 40lbs!! I also learned
how important it was to not only to exercise, but to take a daily vitamin and
to make better food choices. I immediately felt better with taking that vitamin
and getting rid of the soda. I have since done Slim in 6 and dabbled in the
P90X. I have tried Hip Hop Abs and enjoy it without an audience.
Unfortunately, I really don’t have the moves ☺. Last spring, I ran my first 5k
and now have a road bike that I enjoy going on long rides. I rarely miss the
couch!
Last summer I did not lose many pounds, but found that the inches were
still going down. I think normally I would be frustrated with this, but daily I
am seeing a change in my body and so is my family.
I thought I had realized what I had accomplished. On Mother’s day this
Spring I was asked to come to LA and share my story with the world in a
Beachbody commercial for Slim in 6. At that time, I was down 67lbs and
really never thought that me getting healthy would lead to this. As I stood
there in the lights telling my story it was difficult to compose myself, because
I was truly seeing for the first time how far I have come. I was asked to put
on my old size 18 pants for a still shot. I had not worn those since having to
stuff myself in them. At first, putting them on made me feel big again, then I
looked down and saw a 6” gap and all the way to my toes. Wow! I almost
cried. One thing losing the weight has done for me is that I now know
anything is possible. My life is different. Just this week I reached 70lbs
down. The twelve of us from the commercial are beginning a new chapter. We
are starting a Slim Series rotation june 1st. I hope to help others. I hope you
will join us or just stop in and say hey! We will be posting our progress in the
Beachbody message boards. Below is the link. See you there!
