Team Beachbody Guest

After I had my second child, I really wanted to get into shape and start a
regular exercise regimen. I could live with my overweight body and my poor
eating habits but, I couldn’t live with the fact that my behaviors were directly
influencing my two children. I was suddenly confronted with a big decision of
changing my lifestyle but, I didn’t know how. I tried the gym and a personal
trainer. She was great but, the gym experience was too expensive and
inconvenient. Ironically, the personal trainer at the gym told me I could reach
my fitness goals in less than an hour just doing exercises in my home. I
didn’t believe her and soon I learned how wrong I was. Late one night, I
caught an advertisement for Power 90. Tony Horton offered me the 30-40
minute workout that I could complete in the comfort of my own home. I
thought I’d give it a try.
The first few weeks were hard. I was sore and slow. The day one photos
haunted me. Could I have really become the person in that picture? By day
30, I was down 12 pounds and could really feel it in my clothes. The side by
side photos were amazing to me. I couldn’t wait to post them on my thread
for the community to see. I was far from my goal weight but, I was beaming
with pride and ready to celebrate with my message board buddies. Day 90
was incredible. I found myself 23 pounds lighter and had gone from a size 14
to a size 6. The most surprising thing was that the previous year I had gotten
down to 141 pounds by dieting and was a tight size 10. On day 90, I weighed
in at 139 pounds and was wearing a comfortable size 6. The exercise was
truly transforming my figure.
The next program I tried was Slim in 6. By the end of the six weeks, I was
down to a size 4 and had lost another 8 pounds. After that success, I tried
Yoga Booty Ballet. I had so much fun dancing and sweating. I have completed
P90X twice. I was in maintenance mode until recently when I moved from
Washington state to Arizona. The move left me feeling lonely and isolated. In
9 months, I slowly gained back 10 pounds. My smaller clothes were becoming
uncomfortably tight and that was my signal to get back on the program.
Although I was embarrassed to admit it on the boards, I took day one photos
all over again. I dusted off my 1/2 Power 90 DVD and pushed play. By the end
of 90 days, I again had dropped 14 pounds. I was in better shape than the
first time around. I was thrilled to share my new results on the boards. I truly
have some of the most wonderful friends there. They are a support circle I
can lean on anytime. I also get to meet new people in the MDB community as
my goals shift from one program to another. Sometimes, I just shake my head
in disbelief. I never thought I’d learn to love exercise, but, I love it! I finally
live a healthier life. I love that my lifestyle is positively impacting my family.
Anyone around me who wants to change their lives will hear me tell them to
get a MDB program and never look back. I cannot thank you enough for
creating these programs. Thank you, thank you!
I’m living a great life and I’ve got the MDB club to thank for it.

Sincerely,
Monica
