These Guys Got Fit and So Can You
These dudes transformed their bodies and their lives at home with Beachbody fitness and nutrition programs, and they each won $1,000 as monthly winners of the Beachbody Challenge contest August 2017! Check out their jaw-dropping “before” and “after” photos…
Ethan Pate Lost 95 Pounds
Ethan always thought running every day would help him lose weight. But there’s just one problem: he hates running. Fortunately, the variety of exercises in P90X and Body Beast kept his interest for years and helped him lose 95 pounds!
“At 18 years old, I was 285 lbs., and I knew that I needed to change my lifestyle and make better choices for my health. I always figured that if I ran every day, I would lose weight. But, I’ve never liked running, therefore I would never stick with it. And, I didn’t want to just lose weight; I also wanted to build muscle. With the P90X series, there is a lot of variety, which kept me from getting bored with working out. With P90X, P90X2, P90X3, and even one round of Body Beast, I lost close to 100 pounds, and I even have a six-pack showing. I never thought I would ever have a six-pack. Beachbody has changed my life for the better, and I’m so thankful that it has become such a big part of my life. To this day, I still cannot stand running, but I love doing any cardio workout from Beachbody.”
David Mierzwa Lost 104 Pounds
In the time that it took David to grow this epic beard, he completed 6 consecutive rounds of P90X and shed a life-changing 104 lbs.!
“I achieved a lot in a year and a half with P90X. What I love about the program is it doesn’t run on gimmicks. It’s very simple and very effective. As of today, I’ve done P90X six consecutive times without skipping a day. I went from being 252 lbs. to 148 lbs. and I dropped from a size 40 [pants] to a size 30! I’ve always been proud of the weight I’ve lost, but this time, it was more than that. One of the first things that went away was my sad, negative mentality, and that was a huge relief, because that was weighing me down more than the pounds. My mind and body are so much healthier than they’ve ever been in my life.”
Don McCollister Lost 51 Pounds
In just 90 days of Body Beast, Don rekindled the fire in his belly and burned off 51 lbs.! Plus winning a prize of $1,000 — that’s a win-win-win!
“You get what you earn, nothing more, nothing less. With Body Beast, I earned a weight loss of 51 pounds, 6 inches off my waist, and my strength doubled or tripled on all exercises. I love the way this program was laid out so anyone could follow it. I didn’t miss a workout, and my nutrition was by the book. I like the step-by-step explanation in regards to nutrition, the pace of the workouts, and the results. The thing I am most proud of is finding the fire in my belly that I thought may have been lost. I feel like I am in my 20’s again and may have more energy than I did back then.”
Cliff Moore Lost 61 Pounds
Each month, we share inspirational stories like this from men in the 50+ age group to show guys like Cliff that it’s never too late to get started. Cliff heard the message loud and clear and committed 100% effort to P90X and Body Beast. In just 7 months, he lost 61 lbs. and forged his own Success Story!
“It is so important to take care of yourself as you get older! In early 2017, I was 55 years old, on the verge of morbid obesity, and I hated the way I looked with man-boobs. I’ve yo-yo’ed too many times with weight in the past, and I had to end that cycle. I threw myself 100% into P90X, and the results I achieved have been dramatic! During the first 3 months, 40 of my 61 pounds came off, and I thought that was pretty amazing! Then, I mixed in Body Beast and lost 21 more pounds! I’m most proud of the fact that I look much younger now than most men my age. I like that you can mix many Beachbody workouts together; talk about ‘muscle confusion!’ You will get results with these programs if you put in the effort.”
