I have not been an out of shape person for many years. In fact from age 35 to 40, I ran and ate practically nothing and wore a size 6 at 5'9" and weighed 135 lbs. But, I had no muscle tone and was considered "sickly" thin. Then at age 40 the weight creeped on until I hit size 13/14. I admit my working out lacked because I became bored. I knew I had to change my life and do something to get back into shape. I started Turbo Jam in February 2007. My daughter bought it, but got frustrated because with her asthma, she could not do. She gave it to me and told me to try it. At first I laughed, so did she, because I am uncoordinated and she could not visualize me doing it. I did it a couple times but was not frustrated, was actually having fun dancing and laughing. I did shut the blinds though, so no one could see me. I did the Turbo Sculpt, Ab Jam and Cardio Party for a month and found myself excited to workout every evening. I then bought more Turbo Jam tapes and started doing them. They are just so much fun, that the time goes by fast. I went from a size 13 to a size 10 in a little over 2 months. I also noticed definition with my abs. I then talked to a coach and began working on the nutrition aspect. It is time to stop starving myself and learn to eat healthy. It is definitely a learning process. But Turbo Jam did make it fun.

I refused to weigh myself on a scale as it seemed to control me and depress me when it does not drop alot. I started judging myself from the way my clothes fit. It it hard to explain how it has affected my life and well being. I actually looked forward to my workouts.

In August 2007, Hubby ordered me P90X as a surprise. I was nervous about doing the workout because it seemed so intense. I started it on 8/20/07. Once I started, I was sore of course but it felt great. I had an unreal feeling when I finished each workout. It was like nothing I have ever done before. I lost 11 lbs in 3 wks and 4 inches in my hips. I felt GREAT. It is a tough workout but well worth it. I recommend it to anyone. I continued doing P90X very regularly as the program is set up. I continued to get noticeable weight loss and muscle definition. After 90 days and finishing Round 1 of P90X, I lost 13.5 lbs and wore a loose size 8. I feel and look better than I have in years. P90X has literally changed my life. I continue my P90X Journey and continue to show so much progress. I have done 5 complete rounds and now wearing size 5. There are so many people to thank for my transformation. I have to thank Beachbody, MDB, my coach, the diet information and all the wonderful people on the message boards. This is not like anything I have done in the past. I have made a complete lifestyle change.

In April I won $1000 for the 40-46 yr old women. I proceeded to purchase P90, P90 Master Series, P90X+ and the 10 minute trainers and recently Tony's new One on One dvd series. I finished Round 6 with the Classic P90X format but incorporating other workouts into it too. I then started ChaLean Extreme. I continue to see my muscles molding and sculpting before my eyes. I am now in the last phase of ChaLean Extreme. I plan to make my next Round consist of some of P90X and Chalene's weighted workouts with various other cardio workouts. Plus I am awaiting the release of the new INSANITY workout next month. I am now wearing a size 3-5 but still weigh 142 lbs. The weight means nothing as I have developed alot of pure muscle. My abs are super defined. I love Tony and Chalene's workouts as I never get bored and continue to look forward to my workouts every single day. Thank you Tony and Chalene!!! After all my accomplishments, I have made the decision to become a coach so that I can help other people in their lifetime journey... I have currently finished 6 Rounds of P90X and 1 Round of ChaLean Extremt. I am now halfway through my 7th Round of P90X! I LOVE IT!!!
