Well, to start with I am a 28 year old, and I work full time at a construction company. I have been overweight my entire life. I have tried fad diets with little or no success. But, my heart was never into it. My mom being a nurse, I have always been aware of the complications of obesity. Through junior high I played soccer, and volleyball through high school, but it was always difficult being overweight.

I found beachbody a few years ago, and bought the power 90 videos. Once again I didn't follow through. A couple years later I bought slim in 6, and the same thing happened. I liked both of the workouts but didn't commit myself. Then last April (2006) I saw the infomercial for Turbo Jam. About the second or third time I saw the informercial I tried some of the moves while it was on. I thought "I can do this, and it's fun". So I ordered the entire set available. I couldn't wait for them to come. When they came I read everything and couldn't wait to get started. I worked out everyday for a month and a half. Then when my nephew was diagnosed with lukemia I quit. Every once in a while I would pop in a video, but nothing consistent. Now this time I'm ready to make a difference. I started again on December 26, 2006 and after a week I have already lost an inch and a half total. And now AGAIN on Dec. 11, 2008.

Transformation story

February 12, 2007 - After a little over a month I've lost about a total of 8.25 inches. I haven't seen a lot of weight loss, but I am happy with the loss in inches. I've noticed that I have to keep pulling my pants up :) and that my coat fits better in the sleeves and across the back. Slowly but surely I am making progress. This quote has helped me be consistent, "Contiuous effort - not strength or intelligence is the key to unlocking our potential" (Winston Churchill).

Four months have past since I started my "exercise journey". I've noticed recently that when I climb the stairs at work I am no longer breathless when I reach the top and my knees don't hurt climbing them either. My clothes are fitting better, too! I got my first "Have you lost weight?" comment yesterday, from a co-worker! I want to thank Chalene for TurboJam. She made exercise fun. That has allowed me to branch out and try different exercises, that in the past weren't enjoyable. Another quote that has helped is "Exercise is a journey, not a destination." (I can't remember who said it...)

I'm starting over! I began yesterday... I kept telling myself I'll start when I'm done with school, I'll start when I'm not working evenings, blah, blah, blah. Well, it's time to commit. I've been working out here and there but not regularly. I plan on doing a variety of things and incorporating Turbo Jam, so... here goes!
