I am a 61 year young mother, Realtor, gardener and overall volunteer. I live in Sonoma County in Northern California. I love roses. That is where my name, SonomaRose, comes from. I have been active most of my adult life. I have been a runner and have done cycling. But I was never in fabulous shape. I have two adult children. I cannot blame childbirth on being overweight and out of shape. That is just letting myself go as I have grown older. In June of 2008 I started the journey of BeachBody with P90X. I totally failed the P90X test but decided that I was going to do this anyway. I did two rounds of P90X and have finished Slim in Six. Next I did round 3 of P90X. I have not lost much weight with the exercising but I have trimmed down with more muscle. I was getting into clothes that I had not worn for seven years and they are loose. Then I found Turbo Jam which led to Chalean Extreme. The weight is now coming off and I am feeling fantastic.
While I had started to gain weight around 40 years of age, I really packed on the pounds when I was in a breast cancer prevention study in 2001. Breast cancer runs in my family and I wanted to do whatever I could to avoid it. In Sept. 2007 my brother was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a huge wake up call. While I had done all of the things that the American Cancer Society recommended, I had not worked on my weight.
I am still heavier than I would like to be but I am on my way to being the trim, fit person I was in my 30's. My Beachbody coach and friends have helped me with every step. We can help you.

I started P90X and could not do about half the workouts. I was 35 pounds overweight and had just lost around 25 lbs through watching my diet. I started losing weight becuase I needed to do everything I could to reduce my risk of breast cancer. My mother died of breast cancer and I was taken off all estrogen then. I did the STAR program (a breast cancer prevention study) when my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. During the STAR study, I was given drugs thought to decrease the risk of breast cancer and gained 18 lbs in about six months. I continued to gain weight for a few years until my brother was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was getting very close to 200 lbs and knew that I had to change. I still have 20 lbs to be at my ideal weight. P90X has allowed me to reduce in size and have the strength to keep on the path of improved health. I can now do over 90% of the P90X workouts. Still waiting to do that pull up but I never did one when I was young, thin and working out. It will come. Chalean Extreme helped me break through a plateau. Now I am doing RevAbs. I love these workouts.
