Daily Success 1/5/2013 – At 21, my life was going downhill fast.
At 21, my life was going downhill fast. I went from playing on a national volleyball team for 5 years, to occasionally running on a treadmill. I was in college, giving 100% to my studies, so I had no time for exercise. I was out of shape, gaining weight, and had no time to work out, no time for myself at all. And that was taking a huge toll on my emotional health. I was mean to my family. I was mean to my friends, and I nearly drove away the man of my dreams. Not good.
The truth was, I hated who I had become—and I was sinking fast.
I had worked so hard through school that I had never taken the time to get to know myself—and realize that I should be in control of my own future and my own happiness.
Thankfully, Beachbody showed me that if I commit and believe 110%, I could make anything happen.
I chose Brazil Butt Lift to transform my body—and transform it did. I lost inches off my hips and butt, and most of all, my abductors. I can’t believe the difference in my inner and outer thighs.
Since completing Brazil Butt Lift, my life has changed in so many ways. I am so blown away by the mindset that Beachbody has created for me that I have a lot more faith in everything—and that makes me happy.

Daily Success 1/3/2013 – After adopting a child the weight started to pile on
My husband and I wanted a baby more than anything. We tried and tried, but after six years of infertility and the heartbreak of a miscarriage, depression kicked in. And the eating took over.
The more weight I gained, the more depressed I got. When we adopted, I stayed home with our baby and continued to eat. I just assumed that this was the way my life was always going to be. Until the night my husband and I were supposed to go out—and even my FAT jeans didn’t fit.
So the next day, I started my journey. I was sick of what I’d become and I realized that I wanted to be there for my son. So I chose TurboFire as my program—and the results were AWESOME! It seemed like the more inches I lost, the more I wanted to push myself harder.
After TurboFire, I completed one round of Insanity, then a round of Les Mills Pump. And I can’t quit. Shakeology is HUGE. It gives me energy and I LOVE that I am drinking a shake that is SO good for me. Being in a Challenge Group helped keep me motivated and having people give me tips and share their down moments helped me see that I am not alone.
So far I’ve lost 80 lbs., I’ve run two 5K races, an 8K, and a half marathon. I feel great. I look great. I feel so much stronger as a woman, wife and mother. My posture has improved, too. I think that goes with holding my head a little higher knowing I have completed these workout programs!

Daily Success 1/2/2013 – diagnosed with Lyme disease, Kurt change his life…
Three years ago I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and its intense antibiotic regiment zapped ALL my energy. Since just getting out of bed was a huge struggle, exercising was out of the question. As a result, I gained a ton of weight. After a year of being completely exhausted and missing out on living life with my two teenage boys, I took matters into my own hands and joined a Fit Club where I was introduced to my Coach, Power 90® and Shakeology®.
Within the first 2 weeks of doing Power 90 and drinking Shakeology, I lost weight, gained energy, and felt a million times better. Now I eat 5 meals a day and Shakeology is always one of them. And I have to say, I truly believe that delicious shake was key to my increased energy and getting better sleep, which then gave me the oomph to workout.
Turns out, my greatest challenge was in my head and not what my body could or could not physically achieve. At first, I wasn’t sure I could do an “at home program” and stick with it for 90 days. But boy was I wrong! Working out at home was so much better than any gym experience I’ve had in the past. Tony and his team are very motivating. And the online Beachbody community was an essential part of my success.
In 90 days, I lost 18 pounds, a total of 11.5 inches, and dropped two waist sizes (36 to a 32). But my most important achievement has nothing to do with my looks—and everything to do with how I feel. Now I have so much more energy, sleep better, and my overall health has improved greatly. Thanks Beachbody. And my sons thank you, too.

Daily Success 1/1/2012 – After hiding behind sweaters Mellissa isn’t hiding now!
I’ve always had weight issues. Back in grade six is when I became really self-conscious about it. I felt so uncomfortable and embarrassed that I would wear sweaters all year around, no matter how hot it was outside. After having a difficult time in public school, I decided to switch to online home schooling. Food quickly became my best friend.
By the end of high school, I was barely 5ft tall, weighed 210lbs, and wore size 20 jeans. I was severely depressed, embarrassed and fat. I was in a dark place, questioning my life when I heard about P90X. I said, ‘it’s do or die,’ so I forced myself to do it.
I felt this spark I had never felt before. It wasn’t easy, but I knew right away that this was going to save my life. It was a challenge completely out of my comfort zone. At first I could barely get through the warm-up. I would hit pause, stop to catch my breath, and then ask myself if this was really what I wanted to do.
The answer was always YES! So I’d get up, press play and force myself to keep going. I noticed changes very quickly and within a few weeks my ‘fat’ clothes didn’t fit anymore! I felt like I was alive again.
My life has changed drastically since I started P90X. I’ve lost 77 lbs so far. I eat very clean diet- lots of fruits and vegetables, gluten free and no dairy. I also replace one meal a day with Shakeology. For the first time in my life I can finally say that I am truly happy!
Best of all, I can say that I took charge of my life and I know that I can achieve anything I set my mind to!
