I have always been an athletic person. I played basketball for 7 years while in middle school and high school. I never really had much problem getting my weight off after having my 3 children. I honestly am not sure what just happened to me over the course of the last few months, other than "life" happened and I found myself weighing more than I ever had in non-pregnant form. As I have gotten older, I have found it more difficult to keep my weight in check, and I KNOW that I have got to make proper food choices and keep moving/pushing myself if I don't want to end up obese.

At only 5'2" tall, gaining 5 lbs. makes one look as if they gained 10 lbs. My increased weight has decided to settle itself in the abdominal and hip region, so these are the two areas that I most want to see transformed. I am in my last week of Slim in 6 and am loving it! I just recently started making dietary/lifestyle eating changes and am seeing much better results than when I was just working out and still eating whatever I wanted.

In my first "before" picture, I was too ashamed to even show my face in the picture.

"Life" is going to happen, but with Beachbody, I know that making permanent changes to my lifestyle are the key to surviving life's rollercoaster.

Although I am new to being a Beachbody coach, I'm not new to motivating others and helping them do what they think is impossible (I am a certified nurse midwife!). If you need motivation, e-mail me at midwife6272@beachbodycoach.com and check out my website at www.beachbody.com/midwife6272

My Progress

My fitness goal: Get Healthy

Transformation story

My transformation story is still a work in progress. I somehow found myself weighing more than I've ever weighed not pregnant. I was tired of my clothes being too tight and feeling unattractive. My transformation so far has been more mental than physical. Have I lost some weight with Slim in 6? You bet! Have I lost some inches with Slim in 6? Absolutely! My biggest transformation is how I feel about myself. Exercise is such a mental release for me and I feel better both physically and mentally. So, not much of a physical transformation thus far, but more mental and that is really important to me. Now that I KNOW I'm worth the extra time I spend working out each day, I KNOW that my physical transformation will take place more readily!
Today is 11/15/09, the day after my last day of Slim in 6. I've lost 8.5lbs. and a total of 6.75 inches from my body. If I had actually been following the dietary guidelines the whole 6 weeks as opposed to just this last week, I'm sure the numbers would have been bigger. So I've graduated SI6 and now I'm doing ChaLean Extreme along with Shakeology. I started Shakeology on 11/18 and ChaLean Extreme on 11/17 and I've already lost 2.5 lbs. in less than a week. There is so much more to come in the future, so keep checking back for the rest of my transformation! :)
