About Me

My photo
A little about me. In my normal life, I am a civil engineer who sits behind a desk everyday. I got married to my wonderful husband in 2006. Since meeting him and our many days of eating out and less working out, my weight started to creep up. In August 2007 my girlfriend wanted to get back in shape after her pregnancy. She talked me into running weekly with her. I agreed, and this began my plan to get my body back in shape. I wanted to add some additional workouts to my run, so I pulled out my old Slim in 6 videos. At the same time, I re-found the online message boards at Beachbody where I meet a lot of great people who kept me committed to my fitness goals. I also found a great coach who was there everyday to help me stay on track! Today, I'm still working to sculpt my body and get it into the best shape ever. As I have progressed through my body's transition, I decided to become an Independent Beachbody Coach to help others reach their fitness goals! I realized it was easier then I thought, and I really believe others can change their lives too!

Meet Sarah!









I'd like to tell you all about our new coach Sarah Sammons!  She has been doing an awesome job melting away with Turbjo Jam and starting to mix in some new routines.  She is literally melting away before our eyes.   The picture on the above left is her current 60 day shot, the photo on the right is her old day 1 photo.  Look at her shrinking!

This is Sarah's story directly from her.

"I am 26 years old and have been heavy all my life.  The smallest I have ever been is 134 lbs the day I got married.  But very soon after that with all the travelling and loneliness, and boredom, I gained a really quick 30 lbs.  Then I fluctuated for about the next 5 years.  I would gain 10 and lose 7.  And over and over until I had a breast reduction surgery.  I really concentrated on losing so that the insurance would cover it.  I lost down to 156 lbs.  After my surgery, when I wasn't able to workout, I gained it all back, then some.  I even gained my boobs back!!!!!  UGH!!!  It took me a year and a half, to get my butt back into gear, and here I am.  I decided to order Tj after watching the infomercial about 30 times.  LOL.  It just looked so fun.  When I got it in, I played with it a few times, but then forgot about it.  About 3 months later I got a kick in my butt.  Don't really know what from.  But my dad has diabetes, and also 3 of 4 grandparents.  My dad also has high blood pressure.  My mom has had breast cancer and has high cholesterol.  I know all of that can be hereditary, but it is also all related to an unhealthy weight.  I just don't want ot be on pills and chemo, forthe rest of my life.  I am hoping that as a coach I can promote a healthy lifestyle as much as a smaller pantsize.  I am working the most on my hubby, as he wants nothing to so with it, but also has all of those health issues in his family, too.  I'm hoping he comes around to want to be healthy.
 
When I started TJ I weighed 193 lbs.  With a very tight sze 16 jeans.  I am now down 17 lbs and my size 14's are starting to get a little loose.  I've lost a total of about 14 inches all over, too.  I am very excited to see what the next 30 days will take off of me."

If you would like to shout out some congratulations please visit her on her thread.  She has her transformation in pictures right there for everyone to see how she is transforming her body with Beachbody!  Just visit the Travlingal's Thread over in the Turbo Jam Photo Gallery!
