Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

My whole life I have been plagued with being over weight. Once or twice I have lost weight and gotten in shape, only to gain it all back again plus more. But this time is different. My story starts back in 2005. I was 5'2", 218 lbs and miserable. I saw the infomercial for Turbo Jam and decided to order it. I loved it. I started working out, eating better and I started to loose weight. I loved the inspirational stories of other people I would read about on the team beachbody web site. Because of this, I decided to order Slim in 6. I never could stick with it though. I would start it, miss several days, start over, miss several days...It went on and on. Eventually I injured my shoulder at work and had to stop the program. By this point, I was down to 175 lbs, but I returned to my old ways: poor diet and no excercise. I ended up gaining back about 20 lbs. After having surgery, I tried to get back into excercising, but just never did it. In 2007, I had a beautiful son after a very long and difficult pregnancy. I decided then and there that it was time to get healthy and in shape, not just for me but also for my son. by this point, I was back up to 198 lbs. I started out by eating very healthy, partly for health reasons, but now it is a lifestyle change. I started to loose weight just by changing my eating habits and by walking. I wanted to get really fit and toned so I came back to beachbody and Turbo Jam. After several months of Turbo Jam, I finally completed a round of Slim In 6 with no missed workouts! It felt great to finally achieve something I had failed at so many times before. I just finished a round of Power 90, also with no missed workouts, and I am currently working on a round of Power Half Hour: The Last Hurrah, and working out for an hour 6 days a week. Thanks to Chalene and beachbody, I have learned that excercise can be FUN, but more than that, it helps you de-stress, have more energy and just feel good about yourself. I currently can't wait to return to Turbo Jam full time, I love the energy and fun of those workouts, which I incorporate into my current routine. Since my son's birth, I have lost over 70 lbs, and have a better body now than I have ever had in my life! I'm working towards having those 6 pack abs I've always dreamed of, which I know I can achieve with the help of my beachbody products and family. I have found that my day isn't complete unless I have done my workout: I just feel so much better after doing it!

Recently, I had kind of slacked off a bit in my healthy hanits: I wasn't as diligent in my eating habits or workouts as I should have been and I started to gain a few pounds... It wasn't a huge number, but I reaized what was happening and new I needed to make a change or I would end up where I started 6 years ago. Right at the time I was getting ready to start a hybrid ChaLEAN Extreme TurboFire program, I tore my Labrum and detached my bicep at work. Following surgery in March, I've had multiple complications an a severe pain syndrome that makes everyday activities difficult. I'm working hard to get back on track with my healthy eating habits and learningto modify activities, and going for walks to get back on track and lose the weight I've gained and not gain any more!
