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.

Diana's Journey

❤️

I LOVE SHARING STORIES FROM PEOPLE THAT I HAVE HELPED IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS MAKES EVERYTHING SO WORTH IT.

Testimonial - Hear it from Diana, who has been in the program for over a year now.

⬇️

Ahhhh where to begin, I started my fitness journey after having my son. While pregnant with my son I became deathly ill. I lived on a pic line for over 7 months in the hospital not being able to eat or drink anything my entire pregnancy. I had a very trying, long devastating 9 months of peer hell. After holding my in my arms for the first time looking in his eyes I knew he was my miracle boy and if I had to do it all over again I would.

I went from 150 to 128 in a matter of 2 weeks and throwing up non stop. When I had my baby boy I was 194 pounds. Talk about completely embarrassed. I have never been so heavy in my life. I was determined to get that weight off and become healthy. I started my workout journey about 6 weeks after my baby boy was born. I started out with Brazilian butt lift, went to Piyo, 21 day fix extreme, T25, Max 30, Hammer and Chisel, many Jillian Michaels DVDs, and I went from 193 to 130.

It has been a very long hard journey, but so worth the hard work. My daughter even works out with me now and she watches me. Knowing that my babies are watching me and looking up to me and telling me how fit I'm getting makes me so proud. I'm so blessed that my babies are being influenced by my good choices. Life is not easy and I have my trails just like anyone else. I find that working out is my stress reliever. I met my coach Janell Wilson a little over a year or so ago and I joined her accountability group to keep me accountable. Plus you meet so many amazing people who are on there own journey. It's an amazing tool. However, I ended up leaving the group for a while because life Happened and I had a lot of personal things going on that I just needed a break. I still did my workouts every day. I just didn't post in the group. I am now back in the accountability group doing my new favorite kick a$$ workout Core De Force, and I absolutely love it. This workout has made me so much stronger and is toning my body in ways I didn't know were even possible. I plan dong another round of Core De Force, but with the incorporation of the advanced classes.

My main goal is to show my children they can do whatever they want and they are stronger then they think. As long as by babies are watching, I'll be doing the best I can to keep myself healthy and fit. After all my children are my saving grace. What an awesome feeling it is to be a strong mommy.!!!!!
