Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
After overeating on a trip, I felt gross, sluggish, and bloated.

What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
I was tired of feeling ashamed of my puffy belly and tired of feeling guilty for my lack of self-control.

What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody help you overcome that challenge?
Lousy eating habits. 21 Day Fix EXTREME Kickstart was just what I needed! Instead of making my eating choices based on emotion, I used the food lists in the 21 Day Fix EXTREME meal guide. I included most of Autumn’s favorites and avoided the items marked as those Autumn would avoid.

What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
I liked the options on the food plan. Countdown to Competition or not. Autumn’s personal favorites or not. What Autumn avoids. Focus on eating habits. Easy-to-prepare choices.

Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?
My ability to zip my jeans, flat abs and more abdominal definition, and improved eating habits.

How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?
Making wise food choices makes me feel strong, terrific, and confident. My eating habits have improved. Food is fuel for function — not relief for emotions.

How did participating in a Challenge Group help you reach your goals? How did your group support you and keep you accountable?
My group required me to post three things daily: 1. The 21 Day Fix EXTREME workout session I completed. 2. The flavor of Shakeology I drank that day. 3. Whether I stayed within the food guidelines for my tier on the 21 Day Fix EXTREME. The members were kind and encouraging. There were daily posts with motivation and information about health and fitness.

How did your Team Beachbody Coach support you on your journey?
Availability and encouragement.

How did a Beachbody supplement, nutritional product, or program (such as Shakeology or Beachbody Ultimate Reset) support your transformation? What are the greatest benefits you gained? Did you see benefits to your energy, sleep, mood/mental clarity, or digestion/regularity?
I had improved digestion and increased energy from Shakeology.^† My sleep was sound and mental clarity increased. I had decreased congestion from the food plan.
