I live in Southern California. I have been married for 8 years, no kids, but have two cats. Would love a dog but just do not have enough time. I am a cheerleading and gymnastics coach. Fitness is part of my daily life but in the past five years I have not focused on myself and have gained 50 pounds. I am not setting a good example for my athletes.

My weight gain began when I got in rear ended by a guy going 45 while I was stopped at a red light. I was not allowed to lift anything over 5 pounds for six months. I still have pain on a daily basis but I am not willing to stop my job which I love. I know the extra weight I am carrying does not help.

The biggest factor in my weight gain is my eating habits. I know that I have killed my metabolism with my lifestyle. I will go the whole day without eating and have one meal around 10 before I go to bed. I can survive the whole day on a cup of coffee. I will coach for six-seven hours straight without stopping to fuel my body. I need to treat my body better.

I just turned 29 and do not want to enter my thirties in my current condition. It is also important to me to be healthy before I start having children. I feel if I do not get back in control soon I will remain fat for the rest of my life.

I am pretty active. I still compete in all star cheerleading and still tumble on occasion. I love to play sports and enjoy outdoor activities. I am very strong and flexible. I am not a flabby fat but a short and solid.

I bought the P90X because I get bored easily when working out. My background of gymnastic and cheerleading training left me conditioned for highly varied workouts. I know what I should be doing but have not been motivated to do so. I also am uncomfortable lifting weights at the gym. I call the weight room at my local gym Man Land. It is an enclosed room that is intimidating to walk into. I have never once seen another women in their. I on occasion have gone in and feel out of place the entire time. I found myself rushing my sets just to get out.

I have very much been coaching with the attitude of do as I say not as I do. That needs to change. I want to spend the next months changing my lifestyle for myself, my husband, and my athletes. I will by my next birthday be a healthier, stronger me.
