Like so many woman, my metabolism slowed down after I turned 30. The
lean, toned body that I took for granted, slowly became overweight and
flabby. In a matter of 4 years my weight had gone from 120 to around 150. I
started figure skating when I was 34. I just loved the sport and I skated
everyday. In about 6 months I had lost 25 pounds, but then I moved and I
was no longer able to skate without a long commute. At 36, in June 2000 I
got married and weighed 132. One year later I weighed almost 200 pounds!

That’s when I discovered Beachbody. I saw an infomercial for Power 90
and ordered it. I was very excited about the program, but I lacked the
commitment and I quit around day 40 even though I was seeing results. My
marriage ended (partly because of my weight – very sad) and I began
counting calories here and there and started and stopped workouts. At this
point my weight was around 150 and I had turned 40. I saw another
Beachbody infomercial for Slim in 6 and was inspired to get fit again, so I
ordered it. After 2 weeks and 3 days, I gave up – more lack of commitment. I
spent the next 2 years gaining and losing weight, never really committing to
a healthy lifestyle.

By December of 2007 I weighed 155 pounds. I was very unhappy with
how I looked in clothes and how unhealthy I felt. Twice in two weeks, two
different people asked me when my baby was due, and I am not pregnant!!
That was it, I had enough! Even though I hadn’t been successful in
committing myself to the Beachbody workouts and supplements, I still
believed in the products and decided that January 1, 2008 would be the day
that I started a lifelong commitment to my health and fitness with
Beachbody’s help.

I lost 5.5 pounds my first week using the Fast Start method of the Slim in
6 program! I still have my original Slim in 6 success chart and I felt a great
sense of accomplishment when I surpassed the Xs that I had checked from
when I started and quit the first time around. As of 2/13/08, I have
completed Slim in 6 and lost 17.5 pounds, 7.5 inches and I feel stronger and
healthier!! As of 3/14/08 I completed the 4 week advanced calendar of
Turbo Jam Maximum Results. On 3/17/08, I started another round of SI6
and completed it on 4/30/08. I'm currently doing Ten Minute Trainer and I love it! It fits right into my school schedule. The Team Beachbody Club and
the Beachbody message boards are great and I work out on WOWY everyday
with other workout buddies. Please join my thread or say hello on the
message boards Turbo Jam forum, "Starting Turbo Jam 2/18/08". Let's get
fit together!
