Hi, my name is Flo Lacandola. I work at St. Joseph Hospital as an RN in telemetry or "cardiac unit". I had gained 30 pounds over the last few years and I grew tired of the weight gain. Early last year I witnessed one of my patients going through open heart surgery. What gripped me was that he was only 45 years old - way too young to have heart problems. Seeing this alarmed me because I was 43 years old at the time.
So I started running, eating right and even tried appetite suppressants to reduce my weight. To my surprise, after 1 year of hard work I only lost 5 pounds. Another year later my husband ordered the P90x program and got me started on the workouts. On March 30 2009, we decided to lose weight together and committed ourselves to the 90 days of intense workouts. Since then I have lost a total of 20 pounds and my husband lost 25 pounds (and still in counting!). While doing the program I thoroughly enjoy the supplements and the recovery drinks that Beachbody provides. They definitely helped me during the program. I was deeply excited when I got compliments from other people saying how good I looked. As an RN I feel that one of my purposes in life is to encourage people to be fit, healthy, enjoy life, and to help them discover the 'beauty' in themselves.
Even though my 90 day program is completed, I am amazed that I am still committed to the program. To the people out there reading this, please understand that if I can do it. you can do it too. As the famous Nike quote says, “Just do it!" Once you start on one of the many Beachbody programs, just tell yourself you can do it. So what are you waiting for? Your health is your wealth. I can assure you that you will be so blessed that you made that commitment.
