Tiffany's Journey

AMAZING TESTIMONIAL FROM OUR AWESOME GROUP

❤️

⬇️

Being a mom is tough. Tough on your time and tougher on your body, and it gets really easy to forget to take care of yourself. I was full of excuses for a long time. I thought that I didn't have the time to take care of me, since almost every waking moment is devoted to my family and keeping the household running. I watched, via social media, a friend of mine from high school who started doing the Beachbody programs, and waited to see her progress. I was so impressed with her results! I messaged her a few times about starting and put it off for months, again convincing myself that I didn't have the time. I finally decided last January to join. It was 21 days, I can do anything for 21 days. That turned into 5 months, and before I knew it, the mom body that my beautiful children had helped to create, started to turn back into "my" body, the way it was before. Sure, it wasn't as tight as it used to be, but it was HUGE progress. The best part was how I felt. I had so much more energy, even though I was waking up and hour earlier. I felt stronger, and I felt like I was more engaging. I started a new program on January 15th, and now just 50 days in I am down 12 inches! I can honestly say that NONE of this would be possible without the support of my coaches and fellow challengers! I would have probably given up after the first 21 days, if I even made it that far. This group holds me accountable, and since I have to post my workout and shake daily, when I don't and everyone else does.....well you can imagine how I feel. The BEST part???? When I open up our challenge group app, all that I can see is celebration. We celebrate our own victories (big and small), but better yet everyone else is celebrating with us. I owe a HUGE thank you not just to Beachbody, but to all my "teammates" who are right there with me every day!

Ana's Journey

LOVE SEEING TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR GROUP MEMBERS

❤️

⬇️

My name is Ana, I’m 51 years old. I had always been healthy and slim during my younger years until my mid 40’s. I started gaining weight and not doing anything about it until one of my sisters got me into working out at her gym. I tried it for about 6 months. I started noticing the busier it got the more I didn’t want to be there or wait for any of the workout equipment to open up. Not only that but people staring at me made me uncomfortable. I tried to eat healthy but never lost weight. I started doing Zumba and love it but I’d always got bored of the same workout. Then I had heard about Beachbody and thought I can’t afford it. I kept reading about it and convinced myself that I can do this and then went back on how I couldn’t afford it. I posted healthy/motivational quotes on Facebook, all to keep reminding me that I can do this and lose weight by working out.I then got an invite from a Beachbody coach and at first I thought I can’t it’s too expensive. She gave me information and I read everything again and said to myself, “why not!” I am paying for this plan plus getting healthy and fit! What am I waiting for? I’m worth it! I’ll cut down on going out to lunch and give it a try. I also got on a group challenge which was awesome because in that group of people there were people there that were just like me and some that had already been on a group challenge and it has worked for them too. My first challenge was a 7 day challenge and I lost 5 lbs!! I didn’t think I would like Shakeology but it’s so good! I started to feel more energetic and I had more confidence in myself. After that I went on my own thinking I’ve got this and then went back to missing my workouts and eating bad on the weekends. I am human, we all are but when I really put my mind to it, I know that all I need to do is get on a Beachbody challenge group to help me get motivated and do it all over again. The hard part is to start all over again. Don’t make excuses because we all have them. Just like we schedule ourselves to get up and go to work, that’s what we need to do to stay healthy and strong. A big thank you to my Beachbody coach Janell for not giving up on me.
