Transfomation Thursday: Rexanne M.
Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?Having gained 60 lbs. during the pregnancy of my second child, I couldn't even bring myself to take the before picture. I couldn't believe I had let myself gain that much weight. How would I ever take it off and feel good about myself again? I finally broke down and just took the before picture after already losing 20 lbs. I knew I wasn't meant to live a life being this overweight. I now had two kids who would look to me for everything and I wanted to have enough energy to keep up with them and set a good example of living a healthy, happy life. I wanted to feel good about getting dressed, not spend hours trying to find something that would perhaps camouflage eveything I was trying to hide. I wanted to wear this swimsuit again (heck any swimsuit) with confidence. I knew I was the only one who could make the change and take my body and life back.
What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
Knowing that other busy moms have done this, people with greater barriers than I have, have done this. I knew I just needed to find it within myself to make the commitment and follow through.
What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody® help you overcome that challenge?
Being completely overwhelmed with being a new mom of two kids, carrying around an extra 60 lbs. and absolutely hating the way I looked and felt. I knew that using Shakeology and BB programs, I could do this!!!!! Once I started moving, I began to feel better. Shakeology gave me the energy I needed to get it done and the programs kept me motivated.
Why did you choose this particular program?
I choose a combination of Shakeology, Les Mills Pump, and TurboFire because I knew I needed good nutrition, a weight lifting program and cardio. This was the combination that helped me lose the first 60 lbs. Then, I did the Ultimate Reset and lost an additional 15 lbs. to be in the best shape of my life. I couldn't believe I was staring at someone who looked good inside and out. Thank you BB for making this life a reality for me.
What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
I love the format of Les Mills Pump, the trainers and the music. It is such an empowering workout and I gained strength quickly. Also, you can't go wrong with Chalene and TurboFire. I love turbokick at the gym, so this was an awesome way to bring that class home on my own time.
Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?
Losing 75 lbs., gaining strength, and being physically fit are certainly on the top of my list. Starting a program and seeing it through to the end was huge for me.
How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?
Since my accomplishments with Beachbody, I am now able to set a healthy example for my two boys. I also gained the confidence to train for and run 1/2 marathon, something I never thought I could do. I am not afraid to set new goals, try new adventures, and put in the hard work to get there. I also have the confidence and desire to help others do what I did and find their happiness through living a fit life.
How did a Beachbody Supplement or 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, digestion/regularity?
Shakeology played a huge role in my transformation. It gives me energy, curbs my cravings, and helps in weight loss for sure. Finally, the Ultimate Reset taught me how to eat clean and to really understand how to fuel my body properly. The ultimate reset was the key that I needed to finally put it all together.
