I began my journey with Beachbody about 4 years ago when I happened to catch this rather convincing infomercial. Well, of course a week later SI6 arrived! I did the 6 week round and saw great results! I lost 10 lbs. and a number of inches with this program before moving on to Power 90 and Power 1/2 hour. While both were great programs, I was still searching for a cardio workout that could keep me motivated yet challenged. Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize that the small extra dvd that came with SI6 was the key to my success! I waited nearly 3 years before I picked that mystery dvd back up, popped it into my hard drive and unlocked a WHOLE new world!! Of course I'm talking about Team Beachbody's Support and the hundreds of thousands of people who filled the threads on all the BB boards, just waiting to help...ME. I learned so much and eventually was motivated enough to do a second round of SI6. But it wasn't until this tiny blonde woman who was shouting for me to "PUMP IT...PUMP IT!" that I really began to see the weight and inches come off! Turbo Jam was the workout for ME and Chalene changed my life!! I had finally found a workout with cardio that I truly had FUN doing and therefore could COMMIT to it more! I was the "skinny" "beanpole" growing up who could never gain weight and continued to be thin through college. Until one day in my 30's I noticed swelling ankles and pain and difficulty breathing. That was when I was diagnosed with Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency. A genetic diease that I was well familiar with, as my brother was diagnosed at birth and as a result had to have a liver transplant when he was 13. This genetic disease, which can affect the liver and the lungs decided to attack my lungs. As a result I began to develop emphysema in my 30's (and I've never smoked!). When the doctors gave my husband and I the "okay" (after more genetic testing) to have a baby we decided to go for it! We had been married almost 4 years and I wanted a baby more than anything in the world! My pulmonologist at the time told me if I was going to have a baby I better do it now, because in a few more years my lung function may be too low and I would be at risk. I had a great pregnancy with no significant sickness and gained over 30lbs. Colin was born a month premature and had to stay in NICU the first 2 weeks of his life but was otherwise a beautiful and a healthy 6 lb. baby boy! I however became sad, withdrawn and anxious. It took over a year for my Post-partum depression to be diagnosed and it became severe. I was quickly put on Zyprexa and gained 20 lbs. in 2 months, then a similar drug with similar side effects and weight gain. I was 115lb. when I married, 130 before my son, over 160 after my son was born and approaching close to 200lbs! It didn't take long for the effects of the Alpha-1 to take it's toll on my body with the new added weight, and my Pulmonologist soon ordered that I lose the weight in order to BREATHE. I was given basically a diabetic diet but no other recommendations on how to lose the weight. Hence, an ad for BeachBody one day and 60lbs. down later here I am! I can't thank you enough Beachbody for this opportunity! My Progress My Fitness Goal: Build Muscles Transformation Story

Cardio has always come hard to me (I love to tone!), even as far back as high school when I remember passing out running around the track. After being diagnosed with Alpha-1 (a genetic disease) I realize why! Even though I knew I would never be a distance runner, I had to find cardio that I could do, yet still challenged me. I started with just walking and then SI6, a little of P90 and PHH. Then I found Turbo Jam and found that it not only was cardiovascular exercise that I could do (without inhalers!) but that it was also FUN! I mean come on...who doesn't like to kick and punch! ;) The music in Turbo Jam is so motivating as well and never gets boring...in fact I find myself humming these little diddies in the oddest places such as in line at the bank or the grocery store! :P I still walk in addition to my Turbo Jam workouts, because I have 2 furry personal trainers (my whippet mixes :)). But nothing compares to the butt-kicking, confidence-building workout I get with Turbo Jam! I confess, I am a Turbo Junkie and as long as Chalene keeps coming out with new moves and new grooves I will always be addicted! ;) I love you Chalene! 60lbs down! Bring on the EXTREME!! **UPDATE 1/13** Started my transformation with ChaLEAN EXTREME! To say it's challenging in the least, is an understatement! Looking forward to seeing the results soon!
