my story
I've struggled with my weight for a long time. After a motor vehicle accident years ago I put on a lot of weight. I worked to get it off put then would put it right back on again. I gained it back it was harder to get it off again. When i reached my heaviest point of 211lbs, i was at an all time low. I was so insecure and full of self loathing I stopped doing things I loved. I stopped going out, I withdrew from my relationship and isolated myself from anyone close to me. I tried every diet fade from Keto, to carb loading. My results were minimal and never lasting. I was spending hours in the gym and ate like a bird. I was miserable, I didn't enjoy life anymore, I was trapped between looking good and feeling terrible or looking terrible and feeling worse! It was a loosing battle. I didn't like what I saw in the mirror, but even worse for me was how trapped I felt in my own body. I felt gross inside, headaches multiple times a week, sometimes for days on end, I was sluggish and had such a negative outlook on things. That is until I finally gave Beachbody at try.
Many years ago a friend of mine started this beachbody journey and invited me to try it out.. I turned her down, thinking it was a waste of time, it didn't work blah, blah, blah. Then 3 years later she had lost over 80lbs and I had gained 40lbs. She was killing it coaching her own challenges. I was so jealous and kicking myself for not listening sooner. So i tucked my tail between my legs and reached out to her. I can say without a doubt that it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I cannot believe the results I have achieved in a very short amount of time and its not because Beachbody has a miracle drug or secret formula. It because they make me believe in me and provide me with all the tools I need to understand what it takes to achieve my goals, to follow through and to commit. The nutrition is so simple and Shakeology is my superhero! They make it fun with challenge groups, awards, contests, accountability and community. I started with beachbody only a few months ago but fell in love instantly. It changed my life and I've never looked back. It gave me the freedom and structure I needed in the simplest of ways. I have met amazing people and friends, I feel incredible (haven't had a headache in months), I no longer feel trapped in my own skin and I love and believe in myself! That is what Beachbody gave me.
I became a Beachbody coach to inspire others with my story. I have always had a passion for fitness and helping others. Being a Beachbody coach fills my heart by allowing me to help others change their lives the way I changed mine.
