Beachbody helped me get healthy to start a family

Sep 25, 2017 Beachbody

Beachbody On Demand has helped me to lose 115 lbs, and I could not be happier. My husband and I were ready to start a family, but I weighed in at a whopping 276 lbs, and blood work revealed that I was pre-diabetic. I knew that being extremely overweight would put me at high risk for many complications during pregnancy. I needed to get a grasp on my weight and become healthier before trying to conceive. I fell in love with Beachbody's workouts! The first few weeks were the hardest, because I was sore and hurting all over. As I pushed through each and every workout I found myself getting stronger, and the accountability of my Beachbody Challenge groups really helped me to overcome my obstacles. My Coach and fellow challengers motivated me and cheered me on throughout the entire length of the challenge. They taught me that it was okay to slip up, but instead of allowing it to defeat me, I had to get up and keep moving on. Now that I've lost the weight, I love what I see when I look in the mirror and no longer hate shopping for clothes! I am so proud to say that I am no longer at risk for diabetes, and my doctor states that I am overall very healthy and cleared to begin trying to conceive a child, which was my original motivating factor. I am excited to continue this lifestyle and maintain it through pregnancy and beyond. I would like to be a healthy role model for my future children so that they do not have to face the same struggles that I did. Katie G. Sharpsburg, GA
