My pregnancies were not good for me weight gain & health wise. With my first pregnancy I gained around 55 pounds which I did exercise and ate properly to lose afterwards. When I found out I was pregnant the second time around I was slightly heavier than I had wanted to be to start with. I had been
exercising so I continued to exercise and eat healthy throughout my pregnancy hoping to not gain as much as I did the first time, but my body had a different plan. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I did research and found that if you get diagnosed with gestational diabetes that you run a high risk of developing type II diabetes later on in life. Diabetes does not run in my family and I was frightened since I had no knowledge about it before. I knew that I did not want to live that way, I had to get myself in shape and eat healthy, mainly for myself but also for my family. When I got home after giving birth to my daughter I had weighed over 210 pounds. I had never reached that weight before and I was absolutely destroyed! As soon as I was given the thumbs up to start easing into exercise again, I did so, very slowly and carefully.

I started out slowly doing light toning exercises and taking the girls out for walks. After a while I had gotten some strength back and wanted to start challenging myself. I started the Power 90 program and had great results. I
like trying new things after a while and had watched the Turbo Jam infomercials and purchased that to try as well. Ever since then my results kept coming and I am continuously motivated to keep pushing play. The workouts are fun, challenging, and it always leaves me wanting to come back for more! Thank you BeachBody for your great products! I have taken it above and beyond with Tony's P90X and P90X+ and can not believe the shape that it has gotten me into, I've never been so fit in my life! I am smaller and more fit than I was in high school. I never even saw any abs before I had kids! I am proud to say I am a P90X graduate and will continue to use P90X as it has gotten me in THE best shape of my life! I"ve also used P90X+ (ROCKS) and ChaLEAN Extreme. I am loving ALL the different workout series from BeachBody! INSANITY IS THE BEST!!!

I am also an ex-smoker. I had a pack or more a day habit for around 9 years which I decided to give up cold turkey. I am very glad to say I have clean, healthy lungs! It's not easy to quit smoking, but it's worth it! Because of eating healthy and pushing play on a continual basis I am happy inside because of how I feel and look, I have more energy so our family as a whole has been enriched beyond words!
