Since I got married in 2004 I'd gained about 25-30 pounds of "happiness/comfort fat" i called it! I started becoming really depressed about myself and tried a few different diets but nothing was working for me. I've always hated exercise. I never played any sports in high school or did anything active.

In summer of 2005, we bought an elliptical but it's performance was shaky at best. Then I began walking with a friend of mine and trying to watch my diet while she was doing weight watchers. I became increasingly frustrated at my lack of progress... so I was looking for another option. One Saturday morning I saw an infomercial for TurboJam. It looked so fun and interesting, i spent my money on it because I just thought, I'm at that point! i need to invest in some money and care about my body. I was scared I'd hate it and had wasted my money.

When I received my dvds, I was so excited. I started doing Turbo Jam. It was hard at first but all of a sudden I started to LOVE It and I started telling everyone about it. After a few months, pounds started melting off. I've lost almost 30 since the beginning of 2006, and I'm still working on getting more fit. In summer of 2006, I started experiencing some severe lower back pain and other problems, but I pushed through it, strengthening my core and back doing physical therapy and Turbo Jam.

I love Chalene and the Turbo team, and everyday I get excited to sign into WOWY and do my TJ workout or walk or elliptical. Finding a workout that actually makes ME, RACHEL, want to exercise was worth every penny and every bead of sweat. I am seriously a different person now after this program.

Having this online community helps so much!! Thank you Chalene and Beachbody!
