About Me

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!

A Slim in 6, Slim Series Success Story! Meet Paula!

Ok, so I have to share another success story!  Her story tells you what makes Beachbody different from any other video you get in the store, or from a gym membership!  Beachbody is about the community support, having a coach who is there for you, following up with you, checking in on you to see you get the results you want!  Does a gym do that?  heck no, they take your money and could care less if you never came back!

I keep saying Debbie Siebers is a fat blasting machine!  I don't know how she does it, but when you workout with Slim in 6 and Slim Series you get results!  I have to introduce you to Paula!


Paula too has just decided to join our team and become a coach!  She is also going to help others achieve their goals.  Together, our team is going to stop the trend of obesity, one person, one day at a time!  

In response to the Question, "Why do you want to coach?," Paula wrote: 


I am sure my story is like many others. Up until the magical age of 29 I could pretty much eat whatever I wanted. All of a sudden, the weight packed on little by little, an extra 10 lbs that I did not want. With diabetes extremely prevalent in my family, I knew this was a gentle warning, and if I did not heed the message it would become a not so gentle shove.

So, I started looking at all my fitness DVD’s I had bought over the years and came across my Slim and 6 DVD’s. I had never actually finished a rotation. I realized part of the problem was because I was not doing both aspects of the Beach Body prescription: healthy eating + exercise = results. So, I started slumming on the boards and came across coach Barbie’s thread. After making Barbie my coach and starting to chat on the boards I realized, for me, this was the perfect community.

I have always been kind of shy and unsure of myself when it came to fitness as I am quite the klutz. But with the friends I met on the boards and the help of my fantastic coach I was able to lose the 10 lbs and more importantly gain some confidence. Granted I still have my moments of uncertainty but they are few and far between now. I truly believe without the support of my husband, coach and the community that I would not be doing as well as I am this is what inspired me to become a coach. Knowing that there are many people out there just like me, those who aspire to be in good physical shape but do not have the confidence in themselves to do it without help. As an independent beach body coach I hope to help those people as my coach, and the beach body community has helped me.
