I knew I had put on weight, and was constantly trying videos and such to lose it, but I didn't know how big I had gotten until my mom emailed me a picture of myself in 2005. I cried.

I had gained a lot of weight due to 8 miscarriages, two very high risk pregnancies, eating junk, and just sitting on the couch a lot.
I am 5'11'' and had gotten up to 206 lbs. I asked the doctor how to loose it,

I knew I had put on weight, and was constantly trying videos and such to lose it, but I didn't know how big I had gotten until my mom emailed me a picture of myself in 2005. I cried.

I had gained a lot of weight due to 8 miscarriages, two very high risk pregnancies, eating junk, and just sitting on the couch a lot.
I am 5'11'' and had gotten up to 206 lbs. I asked the doctor how to loose it, with no help. I joined a gym, only to give up after a month, with no results.
I bought workout videos left and right, I actually ended up at one point with 300 videos!! I would do them, then get bored, or not see results and give up.
I bought an elliptical machine, and started on it. Once again, I gave up.
A friend told me about Slim in 6, I was going to order it but why would it work? Nothing else had. Finally, I gave in, and I stuck with it, after all I only had to do 6 weeks. I lost 17 lbs and a size! WOW!! IT WORKED!!

But, the doctor had bad news, I had been having major problems with my neck, and it was time for surgery. They had to break it to fix it. So, I had surgery. I wasn’t able to do much of anything, and I started eating more and more junk again. I gained all the weight back. But I knew it would come off. Something actually worked!
The physical therapist said I had to wait a while to start Slim in 6 again. During this time, I learned about Power 90, so I ordered it, and then when I got the okay, I started it. During this time, I used the message boards, the chat room, and got some help me along the way. I started learning how to eat right.


I was hooked! I had finally found the answer and the support!
I started giving away all the other videos, I would tell friends, you can have any you want EXCEPT the Slim in 6 and Power 90!

Then I found Yoga Booty Ballet! I was hesitant at first after all I hated yoga! But, I gave it a shot, at the end of the 10 weeks I had lost 30 lbs!! Plus I loved yoga!!

Now, I own almost all the workout programs, I never get bored, and I have lost over 50 lbs, 45 inches, and 6 sizes!! I have gone from a size 18 down to a 8!!
I had a month that I gained 20 lbs, I checked myself into rehab, my alcohol use was out of control and I didn’t see a way to stop. I was told to eat a lot more sugar, as the alcohol has a ton of sugar and to cold turkey sugar as well as the alcohol would increase my chances of having a seizure.
I knew this would make me gain weight, not to mention make it hard to keep eating right. At first I was really worried. But, all the people I had met on the message boards and in chat, were extremely supportive and kept telling me how they would help me loose it when I got out of rehab. Between their support and the workouts, I knew I could loose the weight again.
After I got out, I turned to my support and Yoga Booty Ballet again, and I dropped the weight, PLUS more!! I was back to my 8 within two months. Even ended up buying some 6’s!!
Not only were they there to help me get back to where I was, but they were so supportive of everything I was going through.
I have made some amazing friends through Team Beach Body!! We all have the same common goal, to get fit, and we support each other through it all. The bad and the good, and I love that!



When I first started working out I was using my inhaler at least 2 times during every workout, now I almost never use it. My lung capacity tripled in only 3 weeks thanks to Yoga Booty Ballet! I went from doing pushups against the wall, now I can do 30 on the floor!
My life has changed in more ways than I can even express!
Now, I can play with my kids, I can run, and lift them up in the air, and not have to stop every few minutes.

We travel a lot now, due to my limited space, I workout outside. Rain, cold, heat, humidity, no matter what, I Push Play. I've had people tell me they didn’t know if they could workout with others (strangers) around, but I don't think of that. I think of how great it feels to know I gave it all I had, and to feel the fresh air, see the trees during my stretches, and, sometimes, even hear the rain hitting the awning~to me it's just a perfect way to end the workouts! :o) Plus, most of the time, people end up joining me, and start their own path to their fitness goals!
