Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
Before I started working out and changing my body, I wasn’t a confident person. As a teacher, I was scared to walk into the classroom every day for fear of being ridiculed. I always avoided the camera. I didn’t recognize the person I had become because when I was younger, I was always so ambitious and outgoing.

What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
A friend invited me to go rock climbing which I knew on the inside was something that sounded incredibly fun, but when I looked at myself in the mirror, it was something I knew the person I had become could never do. I was too heavy and too out of shape. I realized that I wasn’t doing any of the things that used to make me happy because I felt too embarrassed to do them. I was always athletic when I was younger, and then one day I woke up and didn’t recognize myself. So I decided to make a change.

What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody® help you overcome that challenge?
The greatest challenge was that I was doing it all on my own and wasn’t sharing my story. I have a hard time making myself vulnerable and making this big of a life change is hard to do all on your own.

What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
I have done several, but my absolute favorite was P90X3. I love the program because I never got bored! Tony gives you so many different workouts. All of the workouts have a bunch of different moves, and they are fun! They are moves that make me feel athletic–like the athlete I used to be, and it made me feel great about myself that I can actually do some of the moves! I know I can take these moves and go out into the real world and do things I always wanted to do, like rock climbing, skiing, and zip lining.

Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?
I am most proud that I have once again become the outgoing and active person that I always knew I was. I’m not a couch potato. That’s not who I am. It was just a side effect of being overweight. As far as body parts, I’m very proud that I got my stomach and waist back down to a healthy size.

How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?
I have joined the world of the living again! I don’t hide when I see people I know. I don’t hide when someone pulls out a camera. I don’t make excuses when friends ask me to do things with them. Instead, I jump in head first and am always the first one ready to go and the most enthusiastic! I also feel like my confidence has affected my work. I have been given two promotions, and I think it’s in no small part due to the fact that I have so much more energy and confidence these days. I get stuff done, and I’m positive about it now!
