Team Beachbody Guest

I have always struggled with weight most of my life even when I was little. All of my brothers and my sister were involved in sports except for me. Its not that I didn't want to get involved, but my parents were always focused on my siblings rather than me.

My weight has fluctuated up and down over the years with my heaviest at 265lbs. I started working out when I went to college using pilates workout dvds and slim in 6. I walked to class each day and I even walked around campus with a buddy to relieve stress. I got down to 245lbs. but only managed to keep that same weight for a while. I began to slowly stop working out. That is when I gained more weight and ended up at 265 lbs.

Now I'm graduated from college and I have more free time. After seeing last year's holiday pictures posted on the internet under my mom and sister's facebook and myspace accounts I decided that I am NOT going to be the only FAT person in our family.

I bought Turbo Jam my senior year of college and I tried it out and I loved it! So I started doing Turbo Jam again along with Pilates exercises. I am hoping to get more Turbo Jam videos soon!!! I have only been working out for a month and so far I have lost 11 lbs. which is great for me! I will be sure to update you each month or every couple of months with my progress. I keep track of what I eat by counting my calories. I also only drink water now which has helped a lot!

I am getting great support from my family and friends. I now go to the park to walk a couple of miles each chance I get and my boyfriend even walks with me. This Christmas I hope to get some more new workout dvds so I can have a variety to choose from so my body won't get too comfortable with my workouts.

I am always looking for more support....feel free to contact me if you have any advice or need support yourself! I am always here to listen and I hope that I can help someone or someone can do the same for me!
