Team Beachbody Guest

Before Beachbody, my body felt so old. It was like living a 30 year old life in a 60 year old body. I was always tired and worn down. I stopped believing I could keep up. I have a 9 year old, a set of 8 year old twins, 4 year old and a 2 year old, so as you can imagine they take a lot of energy but I just didn't have it to give. I had previously tried losing weight by hiring a personal trainer for 12 weeks and spent a lot of money and got zero results. I was sure nothing was going to help me lose weight.
After having my fifth child , I went to the doctor because I was unable to regain control over my weight, which I was now topping the scales at 220lbs, my mind and emotions due to post-postpartum anxiety and depression. They wanted to put me on all sorts of medications. I knew this wasn't the answer! It was time for me to take control of my life,now or never. I saw it this way my choices were to spend a life being overweight with no energy sitting on the coach unable to participate in the life my children where living numbed by medications or I was going to do everything in my power to take control. So that's what I did.
Now just because I made that choice didn't make it easy. I was invited to a workout at my church and I went I liked the workout but I complained the whole time I hurt, everything in my body felt hurt, my feet, my back, I think I even had a few headaches. :)
But when I found out my sister was getting married and I was going to be in the wedding I had to try to lose some weight. We all know how we love to look good in those brides maids dresses :)
So when my coach told me of a new program that just came out called Chalean Extreme I knew that it was time to kick it up a notch! So my coach Charline invited me over to her home to workout with her.Now she will tell you to this day that she knew I wasn’t ready for such a big program and I would probably quit or at least complain the whole time..but to her surprise I stuck it out! We pushed through 5 days a week never missing a day. After completing that program I lost 55 lbs!!! I never thought it would work-I always hoped that there would be a "quick fix" or a "magic pill" well I guess I sort of found one. Its called dedication. A drive to complete what you start and a modivation to not be the same person that started. That's what I found the dedication to complete that program and since I have completed not only that program but P90X,Insanity and now Brazil Butt Lift totaling 63lbs and going from a size 18 to a 6/4.I never had to go back on any kinds of medications. My emotions are now under control-no longer dealing with the loneliness of depression and the stress of anxiety. I have changed my life in a way I never thought fitness could.
One of the other products I have to tell you about is Shakeology. I spend so much time and money going to the health food store and the natural doctors tiring to aid in my digestive health. I took at one time over 40 different supplements in one day tiring to fix the problems I was having in my colon. Nothing ever seemed to really help the issues, I was diagnosed with IBS. Shakeology now has been my lifeline to ultimate health. When I drink Shakeology in the morning I never have to worry about the irritation of IBS.
Well that's my story if you can relate or you know someone who can I would love to help in anyway I can.
