Daily Success 1/12/2013 – Two year after the birth of my son…

5-Stacey-SI6

Two years after the birth of my son, I shot back up to my maternity weight of 210 lbs. My size 18 pants were tight and I had zero self-confidence. My knees and back ached all the time, I was constantly tired, and I had chronic stomach problems. Sadly, even though I was angry, ashamed, and miserable—I wasn’t surprised. I had battled the bulge my entire life, just like my mom and sister.

But it wasn’t until I pulled a muscle in my back from picking up my two-year-old that I had finally had enough. Either I had to change now and set a good example for my son, or he’d turn out exactly like me. So I turned to Slim in 6® and other Beachbody Programs for help.

Slim in 6 was the perfect solution because it eased me back into working out and I quickly started losing weight. In 3 months I lost 50 lbs., went from 40% body fat to 24%, dropped down to a size 10, and am in better shape now than I was in high school. Simply put: I LOOK AND FEEL FANTASTIC!

However, I’m most proud of the fact that I’m setting a great example for my son. Even though he’s so young, he exercises with me all the time and is already learning healthy eating habits. And because of this, I truly believe he won’t have weight issues like I did!

Now I’m a happy and healthy mom and wife!

Daily Success 1/11/2013 – I wasn’t out of shape—I just wanted more…

4-Matthew-P90X2-Shakeology

At 6’ 1” and 183 lbs., I wasn’t out of shape—I just wanted more. More for myself, more for my wife, and more for my family. I wanted to eat better and be as healthy on the inside, as I was on the outside. I wanted to inspire others while motivating my kids to be good stewards of their own bodies. But most importantly, I wanted to honor God by taking care of the body He gave me.

So I committed to rising at the crack of dawn, doing P90X2®, following the nutrition guide to a T, and drinking Shakeology® daily. Three months later, I lost 13 lbs., went from a 34-inch waist down to a 31, and am in the single digits with my body fat. My core has been strengthened tenfold, which has significantly helped my lower back spasms. And I finally feel comfortable in a swimsuit.

Now that I’m super fit and super healthy, I’m competing in more obstacle races and am getting back into trail running, mountain biking, and kayaking. I even plan to run the Chicago Marathon next October. But my transformation was far from easy. It took a lot of discipline saying no to pizza and donuts, a lot of Energy & Endurance® to get me through my early morning workouts, and it took a lot of support from my family and my Beachbody Coach.

Yet through it all, I stayed focused and NEVER gave up. I feel great and have to say, the results are well worth it.

Daily Success 1/10/2013 – When my child asked, “Mommy, what’s wrong with your belly?”

When my boyfriend began to lose interest in me because of my weight, that was bad. But when my child asked, Mommy, what’s wrong with your belly?” I knew I had to confront my problem, get into shape and get my health back.

I needed a program that was going to get me fast results—and didn’t require me to buy weights, because money was tight—so I picked TurboFire.

I committed myself to 90 days and told myself that I could do this. I just had to press play every day and give it my all. And guess what? I loved TurboFire! I loved how fun losing weight was with TurboFire. I didn’t feel like I was working out.

It wasn’t easy. But I kept going. Once my family saw my 30-day picture, they couldn’t believe I was doing it and losing weight. But I was! The pictures and keeping track of my weight kept me going. I have now lost a total of 58 lbs. and 45 inches over all.

Mostly, I’ve done it by myself. But my Challenge Group has been a big help. The advice I have gotten with what to eat (portions and how often) had such a huge impact on my weight loss!

I’m so happy. I’m pumped and have lots of energy. I actually feel sexy for once in my life. And my boyfriend actually tells his friends to “look at his new girlfriend!”

I’m not done, though. Now this Mama wants some abs!”

Daily Success 1/9/2013 – I considered myself to be a “skinny/chubby dude”

2-Carlos-P90X-BB

Although I considered myself to be a “skinny/chubby dude,” obesity runs in my family. When my grandmother passed away on Christmas day from respiratory problems caused by her obesity, I knew I needed to do something.

So I bought a size 32 swimsuit when I was a 36 and used that for my motivation. I’ve done P90X, but after seeing the Body Beast infomercial, I knew this was the product that was going to change me. I knew how to lift weight up and down, but I didn’t know how to integrate exercises together to make my workouts more efficient. But Sagi showed me.

I love Body Beast because you feel like Sagi is right there with you. He gives “cues” to make sure you’re doing everything right and not injuring yourself. And he motivates you because you want to continue the workout and not give up because he is ‘looking’ at you.

This program is fun and it works. My main goal was to lose excess body fat whilegaining lean body mass, and I had really good results. I began my journey weighing 170 lbs. at 16% body fat, and I finished at 166 lbs. at 12% body fat!

Best of all, Body Beast has changed my life in a HUGE way. I am now a more confident person. I walk taller. I talk with a deeper voice. I have become a better man.

I did this for my grandmother and ultimately for my family, so they can see that living a healthy life is not hard to do. Body Beast taught me how to be healthy and fit just by eating the right foods and training the right way.

Daily Success 1/8/2013 – After having 8 children, you could say I’ve always been a mom

1-Kimberly-TMT-RA-ShaOAfter having 8 children, you could say I’ve always been a mom. But I wasn’t always 110 lbs. overweight. No, that came from putting on 10 lbs. with each baby and never taking that weight off.

After cooking and cleaning (I do about 125 loads of laundry and over 100 loads of dishes EVERY month), home-schooling, and taking care of my husband—I just didn’t have anything left over for me… until this year.

When I saw Tony Horton with his 10-Minute Trainer workout—I said, maybe I can sneak away for 10 minutes. And I started. Soon 10 minutes became 20, and then 30, and I finished 10-Minute Trainer!!! I loved it.

But after all those babies, I decided it was time to attack my abs with RevAbs. So off I went. When I started, I had to modify. I gave birth EIGHT TIMES!!! There was NO WAY I could even consider jumping jacks. But by the end, I didn’t have to modify at all—I CAN do jumping jacks!

So far, I’ve lost 75 lbs. I give credit to 10-Minute Trainer, Rev-Abs and Shakeology. I drink Shakeology twice a day for several months. It cut cravings and gave me a good amount of protein and both start and end my day with.

Best of all, I am going to be a grandmother—at 49—next month. I used to look like a grandmother, but NOT ANYMORE! Now, I don’t even feel like a grandmother. And after all this time, I can fit into my wedding dress!!!!

Daily Success 1/7/2013 – When I started gaining weight, it was gradual at first.

31-LourraineR-TMT

When I started gaining weight, it was gradual at first. I went from 160 to 180 lbs. It didn’t feel like the end of the world, until I eventually found myself at 215 lbs. Three years later, I was so lost—as a woman, as a mother, and as a wife. I was so disgusted with myself.

To make matters worse, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome, which made it difficult for me to lose weight. When I got pregnant, I found out, it also made it difficult for me to carry to term. I lost 3 pregnancies. No one could imagine how desperate I was feeling. I was dying inside.

Thankfully, my son got through to me. I had lost my own father when I was just 15 and he was only 39. I didn’t want my son to face the same loss, and if I didn’t do something quick, I was going to end up just like my dad.

I started eating healthier and went from 215 to 168 lbs. It took six months, but I did it. My coach encouraged me, posting before & after pictures to inspire me. And I began to believe that I could actually do it—that I could transform my body—inside and out.

Tony Horton’s 10-Minute Trainer was perfect for my life. I had two jobs, a child, a house to tend to and a sick husband who needed me. Ten minutes was all the time I had—but it was enough to make a difference. I lost another 21lbs.

My body has reacted positively to all the changes I’ve made. I’ve not only lost weight, but I look good. I feel sexy. I feel like a new person. Thank you Beachbody. Thank you Tony Horton. And thank you Coach. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Daily Success 1/6/2013 – I was very active and felt pretty healthy

30-KevinW-UR

Before doing the Ultimate Reset® I was very active and felt pretty healthy. But over the years I’ve pushed myself hard and my body was in a constant state of fatigue and prone to injury. And as hard as it was NOT to exercise for 21 days on the Ultimate Reset, I knew I needed to give my ailing body a rest while learning how to be more disciplined with my diet. Plus, I truly believed that somewhere deep inside my body, toxins from my long forgotten past with alcohol and poor food choices were lodged.

So it was the Ultimate Reset to the rescue—and rescue me it did!

It challenged me mentally in ways that I never thought was possible, and it taught me how to cook delicious and healthy meals that not only fueled my body, but cleansed it as well. And while the Ultimate Reset was tough (sometimes mentally tougher than an Insanity or P90X workout) the results were well worth it!

Twenty-one days later, I’ve slimed down quite a bit and have been getting the best workout results I’ve ever had. My energy levels are up, my abs are more defined, my skin looks healthier, and I sleep so much better. And while I’m proud of all of these achievements, most of all, I’m proud of the diet discipline I’ve gained as a result of this program.

I definitely haven’t mastered my diet goals yet, but I’m a heck of a lot closer to being there because of the Reset.

Daily Success 1/5/2013 – At 21, my life was going downhill fast.

29-JaclynK-BBL

At 21, my life was going downhill fast. I went from playing on a national volleyball team for 5 years, to occasionally running on a treadmill. I was in college, giving 100% to my studies, so I had no time for exercise. I was out of shape, gaining weight, and had no time to work out, no time for myself at all. And that was taking a huge toll on my emotional health. I was mean to my family. I was mean to my friends, and I nearly drove away the man of my dreams. Not good.

The truth was, I hated who I had become—and I was sinking fast.

I had worked so hard through school that I had never taken the time to get to know myself—and realize that I should be in control of my own future and my own happiness.

Thankfully, Beachbody showed me that if I commit and believe 110%, I could make anything happen.

I chose Brazil Butt Lift to transform my body—and transform it did. I lost inches off my hips and butt, and most of all, my abductors. I can’t believe the difference in my inner and outer thighs.

Since completing Brazil Butt Lift, my life has changed in so many ways. I am so blown away by the mindset that Beachbody has created for me that I have a lot more faith in everything—and that makes me happy.

Daily Success 1/3/2013 – After adopting a child the weight started to pile on

27-JenK-TF

My husband and I wanted a baby more than anything. We tried and tried, but after six years of infertility and the heartbreak of a miscarriage, depression kicked in. And the eating took over.

The more weight I gained, the more depressed I got. When we adopted, I stayed home with our baby and continued to eat. I just assumed that this was the way my life was always going to be. Until the night my husband and I were supposed to go out—and even my FAT jeans didn’t fit.

So the next day, I started my journey. I was sick of what I’d become and I realized that I wanted to be there for my son. So I chose TurboFire as my program—and the results were AWESOME! It seemed like the more inches I lost, the more I wanted to push myself harder.

After TurboFire, I completed one round of Insanity, then a round of Les Mills Pump. And I can’t quit. Shakeology is HUGE. It gives me energy and I LOVE that I am drinking a shake that is SO good for me. Being in a Challenge Group helped keep me motivated and having people give me tips and share their down moments helped me see that I am not alone.

So far I’ve lost 80 lbs., I’ve run two 5K races, an 8K, and a half marathon. I feel great. I look great. I feel so much stronger as a woman, wife and mother. My posture has improved, too. I think that goes with holding my head a little higher knowing I have completed these workout programs!
