Team Beachbody Guest

I'm 43 years old and I want to be in the best shape I can be in! With Beachbody, I've found the tools I need to succeed and better yet, I'm seeing results and have made new habits in my life. I am no longer dragging myself out of bed cursing my workouts, but instead hop out of bed ready to go and have some fun!!! With WOWY...I'm finding it a great tool to be accountable and enjoy working out with others. Occasionally you find me in the Beachbody chatrooms. Plus I love the message boards!!! Thanks Beachbody!

I've had chronic lower back pain for over a year (never went away, constant pain!) but I can honestly say that I am now pain free! Thanks to all the workouts I've done through Beachbody. "Motion is the Potion"!!! Not moving very much or limiting my moves only made things worse. Yes, I still need to watch some of the moves, but to not be in constant pain anymore is truly a miracle to me! Praise God!

I've spent a good deal of time "getting real" with myself and in order to find the real issues that led me to gain 50 lbs. Why was I eating when I wasn't hungry? Losing weight and getting fit really has more to do with the brain than anything else I've discovered! I could give all kinds of excuses as to why I gained weight (family obesity, injuries, busy life, family first...me last, etc.), but that's not who I am (anymore). Truthfully, I gained weight, because I allowed myself to do so. As each 10 pounds kept creeping its way on my body from 125....135....145....155....165...and nearing 170, I could've stopped the pattern, but didn't. But something inside of me screamed STOP when that scale almost read 170 (168 to be exact) and I said enoughs, enough! How'd I get there, well honestly after digging deep, I realize it was loneliness, boredom and stress. I turned to TV watching for companionship and ate to comfort myself while escaping my stress in TV~land. That combination caused me to gain over 40 pounds over the last 10 years. Now that I've uncovered the reason, I'm ready for change. I'm ready to succeed by getting healthy and fit! I'm ready to clean up my diet once and for all. I truly feel blessed to have found Beachbody! Thanks Jon, Carl, Tony, Debbie, Traci and all my friends on the message boards. My new family! You guys are awesome!!! :D
