My Transformation Story
Hmmm… well, I guess I can start out in the beginning, or my childhood. I was the typical “chunky” kid or “big-boned.” I suppose it is genetics with a mixture of poor eating habits.
Anyways, back to some sort of point for you reading this little story… Well, like I said I was always a bit overweight in my early childhood. But as teen years approached I began being more self-conscious about my weight and was struggling with my home life, so control and no self esteem. I then met my wonderful boyfriend Micah, Meeting him helped me through the darkest times of that period in my life.
And presently we now are blessed with a wonderful 4 year old boy named Malachi- pronunciation like mal-uh-kahy- He is the most Adorable, Cutest, Amazing, Energetic Sweetie EVER! Yes I am a biased mommy...I know, what can ya do!
Well with this beautiful bundle of joy came a beautiful bundle of POUNDS! My top pregnancy weight was at 167! Believe me, it was not all baby either- I made the mistake of “hey I can eat whatever I want I am pregnant”, and thought that I would be able to be back into “tip top shape…yeah….well…
I was wrong...
It took me 3 YEARS to figure this out by NOT HAVING TO FIGURE THIS OUT, Thank You Team BeachBody!

I first started out by the average customer seeing the infomercials on the TV, it happened to be Turbo Jam! What made me pick up my cell and call, well the commercial for one made me cry. I am such a sap hearing all of the transformation stories! When they talk about their weight loss I run to my closet grab my pair of pants and hold it up to the TV shouting ME TOO!! As the tears roll down my face- well almost, you get the picture!
So I began on April 2006 with Turbo Jam at 132 lbs, but “fell of the wagon” with a million of excuses and was never really into the online aspect of WOWY then.
So the weight continued to be consistent and I even gained a little more by September of 2006. I was at 136 lbs (Mind you 136 lbs when you are 5’2 is not the most appealing look-in my own mind set for MYSELF that is)
So at that time in September, I enrolled in Modeling School to network with my photography, And seeing myself amongst beautiful models all the time got me thinking uh, I need to lose weight! So I saw another infomercial on Slim in 6! Why not, I liked Turbo Jam, so I bought it. I was going strong on the program for awhile, but due to a non stable living situation, I could never really stick with the program as well as I should have. I was always moving from place to place while our home was being renovated.
So New Year’s of 2007 Rolls around and now it is Resolution time! I decided to put together my own routine with mixing Turbo Jam, Slim in 6, dance, and weight lift, but that quickly came to a halt when my mother continued to have strokes. Which in turn gave me the roll of caretaker, Anything for my mom you know.
But still, you need some time alone for yourself, and with caring for my mother- as well as my young son, and juggling my own personal life with my businesses, I was beginning to fall apart. I was internally feeling depressed about myself and stressed out.
I needed a release and some help, I then noticed Power 90! And felt like this is for me, I needed to upgrade the intensity and so I purchased this around March 2007!
Oh Tony Horton, Thank you, this Program is what did it for me, and for the first time I saw myself doing it everyday and being consistent! I became more interactive with the Team BeachBody community. The pounds kept on dropping and for the first time- in a long time- I felt like this was truly working, I was on fire for this program. It made me feel strong, sexy, and most importantly gave me "my time"!
So did I complete the 90 Days? Well almost, I was 2 weeks left into my completion but then jumped into P90X- I felt too ready!
So its now the end of 2008, and boy I tell you life never lets up, but I am continually pushing play with P90x plus, Shaun T, One on One- and a whole mixture of Beachbody products, as well as belly dancing ~ or at least I like to think I can Belly Dance :) hehe~ and soon to be Chalene Xtreme! This January 09!
The RESULTS so far…(drum roll…It is almost done I promise!)
I now have surpassed my old fitness goal and that was just to be around 115-120 pounds! I weigh in now at 110 lbs but today I checked 111-eh.
All of my results is a big Thanks to all the exciting aspects of Team Beach Body and the wonderful Programs offered!
Thank you to the Trainers- I love you Tony, Chalene, Debbie and of course Mr. Shaun T! You have helped me out more than you could ever know! Without my fitness I do not know what I would do now, I have learned so much emotionally and physically. I am a stronger person inside and out and I feel Beautiful! It is so true when they say FITNESS AND NUTRITION IS A LIFETIME COMMITMENT, YES, I AM COMMITTED!!!
