Before finding BeachBody (specifically Power90) in 2005, I had been working on losing weight for a year by cutting out fat in my diet and trying to exercise at least 3-4 times a week. I wasn't consistent in doing any one exercise until I found P90. It gave me the structure I needed to achieve my goals- and then some! I was surprised at how simple and how easy it was, if I would just STICK WITH IT and just DO IT. I went from about 135 lbs down to 120 in 2 rounds of P90! I'd finally lost those hard-to-lose "last pounds" that I've struggled with for the past 8 yrs! Gone in just 6 months!

Then in 2006, I found P90X, but kept getting derailed before finishing a full round. But I managed to maintain well with a mix of P90, P90X, Power Half Hour and Turbo Jam.

2007 was a tough year. It started well, with a round of P90X. I was cranking it out with excellent results for about 60 days! But then my mom got really sick with her cancer battle and passed away. After that, I stopped working out for months at a time... and slowly gained weight back. Thankfully though- I'd learned to choose foods more wisely so I didn't gain more than I did. I'd slowly crept up close to 140 lbs and I knew I had to get back on track.

2008 consisted of some off/on rounds of this or that (my previously mentioned arsenal of workouts, but with Hip Hop Abs, Rockin' Body & some Jillian Michaels added). Didn't really lose much but maybe 5 lbs- but considering the funk I was in, it was actually not bad. At least I didn't gain in 2008!

Then comes 2009 and I try ChaLEAN Extreme. And while I haven't lost much weight on the scale- I've tightened up my body all over- and gained incredible improvements in my strength! I can now do pull-ups that I couldn't really do before! I can also now do more than 10 triceps pushups from my toes- also something I couldn't do well before. I have doubled the weights I can use on my lateral shoulder raises and triceps kickbacks. It's been a great ride. :-) All that and in only 30-40 minutes a day. Can't beat that! July 2009 was also when I started on Shakeology and signed up as a Coach.

2010 continues with more maintaining, until summer when TurboFire came out! What a slamming shift in my life this was! I managed to get going again- and got back down to my lowest Beachbody weight again! YAY! In only one month, I saw results! So I'm keeping up with TurboFire for the rest of the year. Following the program and will later incorporate a mix with P90X, ChaLEAN Extreme and Insanity. If it weren't for Beachbody, I know I couldn't make it from around 33% body fat down to the low 20% range. And I'm not done yet!
