Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
I had my first child last April. I had heard plenty of times that breastfeeding would take all the weight off; that was not the case for me. In the beginning, I lost a little bit of weight but gained most of it back. I was trying to be healthy for my daughter. I’ve tried all kinds of diets prior to pregnancy: Weight Watchers, carb cycling, counting calories, unhealthy options, and have done lots of different exercises. I tried to do some of those things again to lose the weight but it wasn’t working. I was too out of shape to do a lot of the things I’d done before and counting calories wasn’t working as good as I hoped. I felt like I was never going to get there and was very discouraged.
What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
I want to be a good role model for my daughter. She wants to eat anything that I have. I wanted to be able to share my food with her and to teach her how to be healthy. I also knew that I needed to lose weight so I can be around for her and my family as long as possible. I also wanted to be happy and feel healthy again.
What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody help you overcome that challenge?
The greatest challenge I faced was not knowing the right combination to get the results I wanted. The programs and Beachbody helped show me the right path. The programs have workout plans and eating plans all laid out for you. All you have to do is commit to following them and press play each day. They simplify the process and inspire you to do what you can with where you are in your fitness level.
What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
The Master’s Hammer and Chisel is amazing. I love how they laid out the program and teach you how to do the moves. When you go to the gym, it is intimidating and you have to learn how to do whatever exercises you’re going to do unless you have a trainer. But gym trainers are expensive. In this program, you don’t have to think about what to do next; you just follow what they have laid out for you and get incredible results.
Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?
In the last 60 days, I’ve lost 12.6 lbs. and 4.8 inches. My goal was to lose 10 lbs., gain muscle definition, and get rid of the maternity clothes for good. I’ve hit all of those! In the last 120 days (starting with CIZE), I’ve lost 37 lbs. and 15.8 inches total and passed my pre-pregnancy weight goal! I am very proud of the weight and inches I’ve lost and that I am also able to do full push-ups, burpees, and planks, all of which I had to modify before.
How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?
My life is so amazing now that I’ve found Beachbody and then became a Coach. I’m surrounded by incredible people that I consider family. I’m inspired to be the best and healthiest version of me that I can be. I am happier, more confident, and feel I can achieve anything! I’m getting back to the fitness goals I had before pregnancy and pushing limits beyond those. I’m inspired and excited. I want to share my success with everyone and show them how they can do it too. Beachbody has allowed me to find my passion and dream again.
How did participating in a Challenge Group help you reach your goals? How did your group support you and keep you accountable?
Participating in the Group held me accountable. I learned lots of tips, tricks, and recipes from my Coach and other members. I liked using the Challenge Tracker to track my weight, measurements, workouts, and Shakeology. I got to share sweaty selfies with everyone and watch their progress too. There was a lot of camaraderie.
How did your Team Beachbody Coach support you on your journey?
Ellen has been amazing. She is my mentor and Coach. She has helped me grow as a person in so many areas of my life. She is a fitness guru and keeps me inspired. She checks in with me and guides me to my goals. I cannot thank her enough for her friendship and support.
How did a Beachbody supplement, nutritional product, or program (such as Shakeology or Beachbody Ultimate Reset) support your transformation? What are the greatest benefits you gained? Did you see benefits to your energy, sleep, mood/mental clarity, or digestion/regularity?
I use Shakeology daily. It makes me feel healthy, keeps me full, helps digestion, and gives me energy.2 I’ve tried the Focus Energy Boost and love the mental focus I get when using it. I also recently started using Energize and Recover and can already tell an increase in my fitness level.
