I have 3 kids. I work at Mayo clinic as an RN on the Pediatric floor, working mostly days now after working straight nights for 7 years. I have completed several sprint triathlons n the past few years. I love to be active, either working out, hiking, biking, anything to keep me moving.

I am not in major need of losing weight, I am actually only a size 6 weighing in at 125 pounds. I am at that point where I have the last 10-15 pounds of weight that every women would love to finally lose. I started off at 140 when I realized nothing in my closet fit and I wasn't willing to buy any more clothes. I was going to get the weight off. So I started playing soccer during the summer and working out in the gym again. I lost the first 10 then started training for my first mini triathlon. During that fall a friend showed my P90 and the results he had gotten from the workout. So I decided why not and bought the videos that weekend. I proceeded to take off the next 7 pounds and dropped another pants size. After completing P90 I decided that P90X would be the next best step.
I started the P90X workout program and loved it. There is nothing I love better then a hard heart pounding workout. But I only got to week 8 and stopped. Can't remember why but I did not get the ripped body I was hoping for. I did get quite toned and down to a size 6 but I wanted the ripped abs and toned thighs without the layer of fat on them. I did start P90X again the next fall but ended up hurting my back, regaining about 14 pounds that I had originally lost doing P90 because I was unable to even ride my bike for exercise much less do P90.
Since that winter I restarted P90 to get in shape to restart P90X for the third time, but once again was unable to stay committed enough to complete the full 90 days or get the ripped body I was after. I did help me train for another mini triathlon in 2 weeks, but I want the ripped abs and toned thighs. I think that P90X requires me to go too heavy and I eventually start having pain issues in my neck, back, and shoulders making it too hard to finish. I tried doing Turbo Jam instead, but that just wasn't enough to finish off the last 10 pounds either. I have been going to a gym and lifting weights, but that hasn't done anything to get the extra fat off either. Of course I can not just blame this on the work outs since I have a hard time truly sticking to the diet. I don't eat bad, people actually say I am a health nut and eat rather strange things, but my sweet tooth is very strong and my will power is very weak. So I tend to over eat sweets when they are any where near me. This is why I don't have them in the house, but they still find me. Plus I have a hard time resisting the onion rings and fries when working a night shift, thank God that I am no longer doing nights. I try to bring my lunch to work to prevent me from having to go to the cafeteria, but sometimes that doesn't happen.
So once again I am embarking on a new work out program with Beachbody and am hoping that this time I will come out with the body I have longed for since I had my son 17 years ago. I bought the new ChaLEAN Extreme workout and am now in my second week of the work out and am loving it. The slow controlled movements with lighter weights (lighter then I am used to) is great for my back, neck,and shoulders. I am trying to stick with the diet plan which will be the biggest challenge for me. There are times when I don't plan ahead and miss dinner and instead eat 4 brownies at the meeting I am at. Not a good substitute for a healthy meal. I need support to get me through the next 10 weeks so that I follow the diet and kick this weight and extra fat good bye.
My main goal is to lose the extra 2 inches of fat on my thighs that make buying pants very painful. So now I am just trying to finish up the job that I have been trying to do for the last 17 years since the birth of my son. It is hard, because I am not over weight, my upper body is very muscular and fit and all consider me skinny, but the size 22 inch thighs do not go with the rest of my body especially the 31 inch waist. This is what I don't know how to slim down. You can see the fat on the thighs and when I try to get pants it is near impossible, because most pants are made for women with skinny legs. I feel like I am complaining when I don't have a right, but I guess everybody has their body problems that nobody really knows about unless they live their lives. So here I am 4 years after buying P90 and still trying to get the last 10 pounds and last few inches off. I am hoping that ChaLEAN Extreme is the final answer for me. I will work to keep my diet in check and will keep pushing play everyday and in 10 weeks will see where I am at. Wish me luck.
