By my second year of college I was 40 pounds overweight, had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I knew I needed to make a change so I started eating salad and “working out” by going to the gym— when I had the energy to walk there. Shockingly nothing changed and I continued to feel bad for myself so I soothed my negative feelings with Ben and Jerry’s and macaroni and cheese and gained 15 more pounds.

It took God, my brother and a dress to change my life. I wanted to honor the body God gave me, and I vowed to get healthy. The perfect opportunity came when my brother proposed to his fabulously skinny fiancé! I refused to be the elephant standing next her in the wedding. So with a promise to God, a wedding quickly approaching and a beautiful vintage orange and pink dress hanging in my closet it was time I committed to changing my life.

I was finally mentally ready to make a change and the only question left to answer was How. After joining the Beachbody community and finding my amazingly positive and supportive coach, Katie, I learned TurboFire and P90X were the answer! They helped me transform my life from the inside out. Once I started the programs I began to think positively and believed in myself again. I was finally alive!

After 90 days of P90X, I lost 22 pounds. Before I had the chance to start another program I sadly sprained my ankle but I refused to give up and I continued to eat clean and lost 5 more pounds. AND once my ankle healed, I started TurboFire, and after 12 weeks I lost another 13 pounds. I’ve learned that I can do incredible things if I decide and commit. And in case you were wondering I look awesome in the fabulous orange and pink size 4 petite vintage dress that was waiting for me to finally start caring about myself and my health again! I feel great!

Daily Success 12/10/2012 Josh finally made his commitment with P90X2

Josh using P90X and Shakeology to meet his goals!

“I’ve been going to the gym since junior high, but I never got great results. My nutrition was horrible, I was a fast food junkie, ate tons of sugar, had a gut and I wasn’t happy at all.

I used to watch the P90X infomercial and say, “yeah, ok.” But when I finally met a guy who did P90X and saw the results he got, I decided it was time to get fit—-truly fit. So I did P90X, got awesome results. Then I slipped back to my old habits.

Maybe it was because I was working 10 to 12 hours a day, going to school and struggling to find time for my wife and four daughters. Maybe it was just that I needed another challenge.

But when I heard that P90X2 was coming out, I hoped it would be the program that would light the fire within me again. And boy did it ever! Combining the moves along with a sound diet and supplementation with Shakeology gave me the abs I was looking for-—in just 90 days! I lost fat. I got fit. I got more muscular.

But even more important—-I got happier and more outgoing. My day revolves around making healthy choices for myself and my family. I am constantly spreading the word about health and fitness and how Beachbody has changed my life. And this time, I am never going to stop Pushing Play!”

CoachGShort’s Newletter 12/9/2012 – Tips for the New Years

Here comes New Years!  We now only have three weeks until the New Year starts and that means New Year resolutions for many of us, but how many of us have made these resolution but failed to achieve those resolutions?  Here are a few tips that can help with making sure that you meet those goals this year and while these can be applied to any goals we are going to focus on working out.

  1. Set realistic goals – This can be difficult as we only have the results of others  when we are starting out.  So I recommend that people shoot for a 1/2 lbs. per week if you are trying to lose weight.  An example of a non-realistic goal is something like “I will not eat out all year” when you eat out 3-4 times a week.  Start small and workout up to your goal.  “I will only eat out 2-3 times a week.  This will only require a small change into your life.
  2. Plan ahead – Those that fail to plan, plan to fail.  Time is one if not the most valuable thing that we have, and is one of the things that we tend to waste the most of.  When setting a goal making sure that we schedule when we are going to be working on that goal(s) is essential.
  3. Outline Your Plan – Along with planning when you are going to work on your resolution it is important to make sure that you know what to do with the time that you have set aside for your resolution.  This is where BeachBody Programs come in so handy.  Set aside the time and follow the plan and you will improve.
  4. Why did you make your resolution? – Making a “Pro” and “Con” list will help you stay on track during the hard days.  Most resolution are a Marathon and not a Sprint meaning that we are working to change habits in our lives and that takes time.  So focusing on what we are able to do when we achieve our goals can help us push ourselves.
  5. Talk about it!  This is where accountability groups and having a coach comes in.  By having people to talk to and hold you accountable you are more likely to accomplish our set goals.  There is power in numbers and having a group of people going through the same thing that you are working towards can help motivation.  Having a coach to talk to and direct you will allow you direction when you are struggling.
  6. Reward Yourself – Having a goal that you are going to give yourself when you accomplish your resolution will give you the extra push for you to keep pushing forward.  Just make sure that your reward is not counterproductive to you goal.  Also remember with the Beachbody Challenge you always get a free t-shirt and the chance to win up to $100K!

Daily Success 12/9/2012 Kaitlin changed her body with Body Beast!

“I used to work out some now and then. But never enough to be happy with the outcome. Especially when I’d catch a Beachbody infomercial and see the awesome results those guys got. I guess that’s what started me on my journey-—I wanted to be that person who inspired tons of people

As a graduate of many Beachbody programs, I’m most proud of the results I got from Body Beast. I wanted a challenge…and I got it. There were some rough workout days, but I pushed through every single day. I even brought my equipment with me on vacation. All I had to do was press play every day and drink my Shakeology.

And I’m so glad I did. Not just because I built the body I always wanted-—I never used to have back “dimples,” and now I do, my legs are awesome, and I feel so much stronger-—but also because now I feel like I’m a role model. I put my videos on YouTube and hearing someone say I’m an inspiration is the best thing ever!

For me, it started with watching Beachbody infomercials and saying, “If they can do it, then so can I.” Now I hope people will see my story and say the same thing!”

Team Success Story – Geoff Furr

So I went to the doctors office for my 3 month follow up and had to share some results. Just to let you know my history, when I started my fitness journey I was a type 2 diabetic that was pretty much un-managed even on the highest allowable dose of metformin (an oral medication). Additionally I was on high blood pressure medication. Midway through my first round of P90X I was taken off of both medications because my numbers were normal and in the case of blood sugar was dropping too low on the meds.
Well I’m in the beginning of my second round of X and so far here are the results: 40 Lbs lost …
Shirt size went from 2XL to large and even those are getting too lose! Pants size went from 38 to 34 waist My A1C level dropped from a 7.2 in mid September to a 6.1 today! (If you don’t know an A1C number is a 3 month average of you blood sugar level. Lower numbers are better. My doctor was thrilled at my 7.2 number in mid September because a 7.1 or lower is considered a standard of care to be managed for a diabetic.
Now that I am at a 6.1 I am no longer in the diabetic range, pre diabetic but not diabetic! At the next appointment I expect to be below 5.7 which puts me at completely normal!) My total cholesterol is 135 with an HDL of 84 and an LDL of 39, need to raise that good cholesterol up a bit but continued good eating and Shakeology will help with that. Doc said so will red wine! Sounds like a good plan once I am at my goal weight but not yet ;)
Kidney function, blood counts and everything else is perfect! Doc walked in the room and said “dude you are doing awesome”

Congratz Geoff and keep up the good work!

BeachBody, Motivational, Ten Minute Trainer

Daily Success 12/7/2012 Using 10 minute trainer Brenda changed her life!

“I was what you would call skinny fat. I hid it well, but my clothes kept getting tighter and tighter. I hated the way I looked and knew something needed to change. That’s when I met a great couple who are now my Coaches. I saw the incredible stories of lives they had helped change, and thought I would give Beachbody fitness programs a try.

I chose 10 Minute Trainer® to start with because I didn’t think I could do a longer workout. I loved the way my body responded to the program. I saw the cellulite start to melt off my arms and stomach and felt stronger every day. I also gave Shakeology® a try. It helped eliminate my junk food cravings and became a way of life.

My confidence has soared and my visible results have been amazing. But the achievement I’m most proud of is the fact that I didn’t give up when times were tough. I learned a lot about myself and what I’m capable of doing. I’ve also become a Coach and want to share my story with anyone who has ears to hear!”

BeachBody, Brazil Butt Lift, Motivational

Daily Success 12/4/2012 Erin lost 8.5 inches with BBL!

“I used to have a fast metabolism and nothing ever put a single jiggle on my body. But then I had kids. Three of them. And after my third child was born, I was so unhappy with what I saw in the mirror. Then, one of my friends lost 25 pounds doing INSANITY® and I was inspired to do the same.

I got into Brazil Butt Lift® because I wanted to love my booty and look good naked again. I love this program and think every woman should do it. It’s fun, fast paced, and Leandro is incredibly motivating. I can also modify the workouts to keep getting better and better results.

My life has definitely changed for the better. I’ve lost 8.5 inches all over my body and feel amazing. My stomach is completely gone, and my butt is higher and tighter than ever before. I’m proud to say I’m a true product of the product!”
