Hi! My name is Beth and I'm originally from Evansville, Indiana. I've lost 14 pounds so far by working out with Turbo Jam and ChaLEAN Extreme. I've really committed to the effort of both programs in January 2009 and I'm really beginning to see the results! I feel stronger than ever!

Hi! My name is Beth and I'm originally from Evansville, Indiana. I've lost 14 pounds so far by working out with Turbo Jam and ChaLEAN Extreme. I've really committed to the effort of both programs in January 2009 and I'm really beginning to see the results! I feel stronger than ever!
Before I started this lifestyle change, I was a moderately active 20-something but I didn't have a routine. I became engaged to my now-husband, Rob, in November 2005 and during that time before our wedding day on October 28th, 2006 - I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Basically, I have an underactive thyroid, which effects my metabolism and in turn...I gained weight faster even though I was doing the same things. My energy level dropped and by April 2007 I had gained close to 25 pounds since my diagnosis in early 2006. I chalked part of that to my "good" (aka non-healthy) cooking skills since I was a newlywed and my mindset was that food = love. So how much my husband ate, I ate and over time I noticed my pants were getting tighter and tighter, but my energy level was so low - I didn't care and just bought bigger pants.
Until April of 2007, I had enough! At that time, I wasn't aware of Beachbody yet so I lurked on other fitness sites to find a way to lose these extra pounds. I found a online board that talked about this fun workout system called Turbo Jam. I had tried a few other workout dvds with very little results - I was getting discouraged and thought that this was how life was when you're hypothyroid. So after reading a few uplifting success stories with Turbo Jam I decided to try it out...by checking it out of the library. Once I did that, I was hooked! I immediately purchased the system through the Beachbody website so I wouldn't miss a day when I had to return the library dvds back!
After some months doing Turbo Jam, I heard about the release of ChaLEAN Extreme - I was pumped! After hearing Chalene talk about how more muscle revs up the metabolism, I was ready to sign up! I bought that system in December of 2008 (started January 2009) and I am currently on my second round and I am pushing myself to the limits and seeing results. I love the workouts, the food guide, Chalene's attitude - I even have my husband hooked on it! I love feeling this sore :)
Now I want to help others to have a story like this. I still have to work harder to drop the pounds due to my hypothyroidism but I am not letting that stop me. I know I am giving myself the best gift with all this exercise and better eating - I now have more energy, I feel good, my clothes fit better, my attitude has changed (or gone up a notch to some people). I am excited to share this success with anyone and I want others to feel like this too!
So that's my story - it's not over yet though - I still have about 10 pounds to go and I know with my hardwork, I will succeed. I want you to be a success story too - let me know how I can help! That's what I'm here for :)
Thank you for stopping by my page and reading my story...I appreciate it!
