Oregon City, OR I am only 5'1", so any extra weight on me really shows! I started out a size 16 and I am now down to a size 10! I am the mother of 3 wonderful children and have been married for 15 years. I was not always a heavy person, but having three kids and two back injuries within a 5 year period added about 50 pounds to my small 5'1" frame. I never really viewed myself as large, I was in denial. I am only 5'1", so any extra weight on me really shows! I started out a size 16 and I am now down to a size 10! I am the mother of 3 wonderful children and have been married for 15 years. I was not always a heavy person, but having three kids and two back injuries within a 5 year period added about 50 pounds to my small 5'1" frame. I never really viewed myself as large, I was in denial. Until that day when my doctor informed me I was no longer overweight, but now obese. To top that off I was also told that I had a bulging disc in my neck that given the current situation would only get worse. I decided I needed to act quickly. I had been lurking around the beachbody website, I had a username and was reading posts by people who are my hero's. I finally decided after a few months of doing this I really need to get busy. I held my breath and ordered the Power 90 Program. It was more than I could afford at the time, so it was really hard for me to do. I told my husband what I had done and amazingly he wasn't upset. He told me he knew I could do it. So with all the courage I could muster I had him take my day 1 pictures and measurements. It was one of the saddest days of my life, but I knew that it was only going to get better from here. I started the program on February 3, 2003. That may have been the hardest day of my life, but it was the biggest turning point. I now realize how important good health is. I am healthier, stronger and happier now. I will never stop using the beachbody programs. I have now realized that this is for life. And I owe beachbody for everything! My husband and family have noticed the big difference in me. It has effected me in more ways than I can tell you. I have won with Beachbody! They have given me back my life!

Thanks to Beachbody I have been able to go from that overweight unhappy mother and wife to a new, healthy & happy one! I am so thankful to Beachbody for enabling me to get my life back. Since I started with BB I have not only become smaller, I have started enjoying other physical activities. I started running recently. I never thought I would enjoy running, but I do. I am working on running more and walking less, every day I increase my distance a little more! That is such a wonderful feeling. On top of that I am still doing weight training with P90 and cardio/weight training with the Slim Series and P90X. I love having so many choices. I never get bored with my workouts. I am also working on strengthening my core. After having three kids the muscles in there need all the help they can get! The most important piece of advice I could give someone about working out is to enjoy what you are doing. If you don't like it, you won't do it. I had to realize that. You also need to set goals for yourself. Not the "I need to lose 50lbs" goal. But the "I really want to be able to get through that third set of jumping jacks" kind of goal. It's the little things that add up to make the biggest differences. Take care of yourself, enjoy your life, look at the big picture & DON'T GIVE UP! :)
