TBB has given me the tools to get my health and life back again. The most amazing thing about TBB, is that I am living proof that anyone can not only succeed in TBB, but can do so in less time than it would take working out at your local Gym. With TBB, I do not have to lift extreme amounts of weights or scream at the top of my lungs to gut out another rep. In 5 1/2 months I have been able to transform my body from an obese, unhealthy 45yr Old Man, to a lean, healthy 45yr young athletic physique....All from the comfort of my own home! My equipment consists of a few dumbells, workout mat, bands, and a pull-up bar....That's it! Oh, I also have a workout partner, our cat "Sassy", who is really into "Mat-RipperX". (She has torn my work-out mats to shreds & loves to do "Superman"-"Bannana" rolls too). I am now back to being a living example of health to my family and friends. My wife & kids see what I have accomplished with TBB and this has carried over into their work-out ethics in the sports they are involved with. My daughter plays both Volleyball and Soccer and is truly an amazing athlete at only 13yrs. My Son plays both Football & Baseball, and the most amazing thing about him is that he has been a little chunky in the mid-section because of all the junk he consumes. He came up to me not long ago and asked what I was doing to lose weight...I told him that I had stopped eating junk-food, soda & things with alot of sugar and replaced them with nutritious food. I gave him some suggestions of good foods to eat & we eliminated buying the junk-foods. The results have carried over to how my family views their own health. I have now seen my sons eating habits change to some of the foods I eat. He has lost 5lbs to date in his mid-section & he has learned something about himself....that he does not have to be overweight if he chooses. It is a great feeling of empowerment to help another person with how they see themselves, especially if that person is someone close to you. I would like to share my success with others who want to change their health, but do not have the blueprint for reaching their goals. I know what it is like to be overweight, tired, depressed & having people look at you differently because of your weight. I know that anyone who Decides & Commits to a TBB program, WILL Succeed! For me, TBB is not just a one-time commitment to a program...It is a lifetime commitment! I will never go back to how I looked before TBB. I will always keep my "before" picture on my TBB site, not only to remind me of how I looked in May 2009, but to inspire me with the fact that at that point in my life, it took a great deal of courage to commit to something I had no idea what my results would be. I just kept pushing play every single day as I do now, knowing that by continuing to follow the blueprint of "Decide & Commit", Success is all that is ever in front of me. Start your own journey today with TBB & all the wonderful people who are here to support you and help you along the way.

Transformation Story

My TBB journey began on 5/16/09. My body weight was 210 lbs, with a body fat% of 32%. I had a 43" gut that hung over my pants & most of my free time was spent in front of the TV eating. I knew I needed to start slow and try to burn as much fat as I could before I attempted P90X. I started with the Express-Slim In 6 (Plan 2) & SI6 "Start It Up". I completed the 6 weeks of SI6 on 06/27/09, and finished my 1st round of P90X on 09/27/09. The results I have experienced in the last four months have been something I would have never expected to accomplish in a Gym. My results have been incredible thus far. I have gone from a 43" waist down to a 31.5" waist. Scale weight down from 210lbs to 171lbs. Body fat% down from 32% to 13%. My energy levels are now through the roof and I feel great at 45yrs young. I have acheived my over-all goal of losing 25lbs or more of body fat. I have to date burned 45lbs of body fat and gained 6 lbs of lean muscle! I have increased my energy levels and attained a fitness level I had when I played football in College. In September 2008, on the first day of originally beginning the P90X program, a house fire destroyed my home, including all my fitness equipment, computers and workout CD's. Needless to say, I stopped working out completely and my body weight ballooned to 217lbs. Now, I have finally gained control of my life again. As an athlete in college, I never experienced being overweight. I was either playing Football or running track in the off-season. Being a sprinter and body-builder, I was very lean and maintained a high level of fitness. I eventually became a Police Officer, and that is when things started to change for me. Over my 8yr career, I was involved in two incidents in which I sustained severe knee damage to my right knee. I have had both an ACL repair and a torn meniscus repair (torn cartlidge). My last injury was a ruptured achilles tendon on my good leg, which I sustained during a foot pursuit. Needless to say, I stopped running and being sedentary, I found myself in front of the boob tube, feeding myself and wallowing in pity that I was just a poor cripple, unable to do anything. I had an excuse for everything and put the blame for my situation on someone else. I recently went on a cruise to the caribbean in April, 2009, and got certified to scuba dive before the trip in Monterey bay. My wife took photo's of us before the dive and when I saw the pictures, I was appalled at how I looked. I was ashamed at the person looking back at me. How could I have let myself get this bad? I struggled to keep up with the others in the scuba class and the seals in Monterey Bay swam around me as they probably thought I was a relative? Our cruise pictures were more evidence of how beaten my body had become. It was after I got back from our cruise, that I rejoined Teambeachbody and re-committed myself to the SI6 program and a healthy diet. I made a promise to myself that I would never take another photo again that I feel that ashamed of the person looking back at me. This time, I will do whatever it takes to succeed and help others to reach their goals as well.
