Beachbody Results: Erin Lost 31.4 Pounds

Meet Erin B.! She participated in The Beachbody Challenge and won the $500 Daily Prize for October 11th!

Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
When I started INSANITY I was feeling bad about myself. I was not happy with the way I looked or felt. My size 12 pants were getting tight, and some pants I bought just a few weeks before no longer fit. I felt heavy and bloated and often was physically uncomfortable. I would suck it in constantly so that I didn’t look so big. I strongly desired to be skinny. Little did I know at the time, that’s not what I actually wanted.

What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
I was tired of feeling crappy, and wishing things were different. I knew that the only way to change was to do it myself. No one could do it for me. I took my before photo and looked at it for a long long time. It was hard to see that, but the truth gave me a jump start.

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 food. I am a constant snacker. The food menu has some great recipes and really helps you to know what and how much to eat. I grew up in the “clean plate club.” If it’s on your plate, you eat it. It is still a challenge for me to leave food on the table and walk away, but I am getting better. INSANITY and FOCUS T25 helped me because I knew that if I ate too much food, my workout would not be as effective. Feeling heavy and bloated is not good when you’re trying to work hard. I had to learn to cut my portions down and stop myself before I became stuffed.

Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?
I am proud that I have muscle! I am not skinny, which I thought I wanted. I am strong. I lost 30 lbs, and I am transforming myself into a powerhouse!

How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?
The Beachbody program has helped me love my body. I feel more comfortable in my own skin. I also have been able to help my friends be motivated to get healthy. It’s more than just working out or saying that I’ve done INSANITY and lived to tell about it. It’s about changing your life to live healthy and whole.
