Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
I have always always struggled with my weight since I was little, I was told by boys that I was pretty but I was too fat. I lost a lot of weight but I still carried what they said to me on my shoulders. Even though I was smaller I still felt un-pretty and fat. I tried everything from red-wine vinegar, not eating, to diet pills, and even worse, throwing up. (wow, can’t believe I just admitted that! Don’t think I have ever said that out loud.) I’m writing this in tears because I finally found something that is working for me, in 32 years I have achieved weight loss but have never been able to maintain it. So after having my baby boy and gaining 37lbs I didn’t recognize my body.4 I remember the day I took my before pictures, my husband had purchased FOCUS T25 for me and he was the one that took them. I cried when I saw what I look like and felt embraced because he saw me like that, even though he told me that he didn’t care and that I just had a baby. I was devastated!
What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
My Little Man! I what to show him how to live a healthy life and stay active from a early age. I never had that growing up, my family showed their love with food, and not the good kind. Everything I do now is for him, I want him to be proud to call me his mom! One more thing that drives me is when someone says I can’t do something, its like fuel! You can do almost anything you put your mind to and I will not use the excuse that I just had a baby.4 He isn’t my excuse he is my reason!
What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody® help you overcome that challenge?
In my mind I was convinced that to lose weight I had to take diet pills and laxatives to help me lose those last couple of pounds. Even more I wouldn’t eat like I should because I “wasn’t” hungry. I have done some really extreme things throughout my life that I am not proud of, things that not even the closest people in my life know about. Beachbody has giving me a new lease on life, I can eat, and still lose weight! I don’t need an expensive membership to a gym or a personal trainer, I can have all of that in the comfort of my home. I can’t begin to put into words how much this company has done for me, it has giving me my life back, the life I truly never had because I always worried about my weight. Now I have a venue to help others in their journey, paying it forward is huge to me!
What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
Since I’m a new mommy I love that its 25mins and its fast paced… I love how Shaun T is so motivating, and that there are modifiers.
Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?
My muscle tone, flat belly, and arms! I’m seeing muscle I have never seen or ever knew I had lol.
How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?
My husband and I are a lot closer, and I feel comfortable in my own skin. I can finally look at myself in the mirror and I’m not horrified at what I see. That is huge for me, because no matter what size I have been I was never happy at what I saw in the mirror until now.
How did a Beachbody Supplement or Nutritional Product or Program affect any existing health conditions you have?
Well now I am taking E&E and it has help me push through my workouts, letting me give all of me to it. Shakeology has help crave my sweet tooth which is huge for me.2
