Hi, My name is Mellisa. I am glad you stopped by. I am a work from home mom of two huge blessings (my children are 13 and 5). My biggest passions in life are my faith, my family, our health, and my friends. I also have a great passion for the health and wellness of the mind and spirit as well.

My weight issues first started after I was in a car accident when I was a teenager. I had to give up a lot of activities and as a result I gained 30-40 pounds. By the time I graduated from high school I had lost it all and then some, but unfortunately, like many other teenage girls I did it in a very unhealthy way.

From then on my weight would fluctuate 10-20 lbs quite frequently. But it wasn't until I had my first child 13 years ago that I really became what you would call "overweight". Due to complications during and after my pregnancy, I gained 75 pounds and up until a few years ago, I have had a heck of a time trying to lose it.

On top of that I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue syndrome which makes it even more of a challenge to lose the weight.

But I am committed and determined in getting myself back in shape and to help as many others along the way. I know I will be able to accomplish my goals with ALL of the tools here at Beachbody.com.

Three years ago, my daughter convinced me to try the Turbo Jam workouts after we watched an infomercial for them. I started with doing Turbo Jam back then, but since have added Slim in 6, Hip Hop Abs, Power 90 and P90X to the lineup as well.

Whether you like to work out or not, the great thing is there is something here for everyone. I like the Turbo Jam workouts because they are fun and it doesn't even seem like you're working out. And yet I can always "feel" the effects of the workout. P90X on the other hand is an EXTREME workout routine.

If you're like me, you may need all the help (support, encouragement, instruction and inspiration) you can get.
Believe me, you will not find a better place to call home for ALL of those things, than Team Beachbody

Are you ready? Great! Than join me at the WOWY supergym and let's get this party started!

Your friend through it all,
Mellisa

Since I have a couple of health issues that hinder my weightloss, I know this process is going to be a little slow.

I know I still have a long way to go before I find myself back in the shape I was 12 years ago. But that doesn't discourage me anymore since I have found Team Beachbody. What a blessing. Now that I have more accountability now and less excuses, I am motivated and inspired more than ever to stick with the program and actually accomplish my goals. Thanks for joining me on this journey.
