I wanted to take a minute to tell everyone that I'm so happy I've found Beachbody and have it in my life!  I know that sounds kind of dumb but let me just tell you how much it has affected me so far, and how I expect it to help others in the future:)
  Before I got pregnant with Stihl I was having such a hard time losing the weight I gained from before Kye was born.  I was feeling so hopeless and really just gave up on myself.  I started to gain and was trying to get pregnant so I just stop caring.  I had tried Weight Watchers that I had so much success with 12 years prior but Weight Watchers were I live was just NOT working for me for so many reasons! Excuses, I know, but it didn't matter, I had no support and that was that.  My husband didn't feel comfortable with me joining a fitness club unless it was Lady's Fitness (women only) but that was 35 min away so I just wasn't using it. I paid $2400 / year for a membership I did not use @#%!!!
I had my baby Stihl and initially lost 15 lbs of the baby and baby stuff (out of the 60 lbs gained) in the first few weeks.  After that though, I was stuck at 152. I stayed at that weight for the next 4 months.  I was again feeling hopeless.  I thought breastfeeding and eating right with running would help.  It was not helping:( 
  I saw a post on the Tremonton Classifieds that invited everyone to join a challenge group.  I liked the post and heard back right away.  Ashley asked me a lot of questions about why I wanted to lose weight but I just wanted to get started.  I really didn't care what she asked me, I had already done my research about her post (Beachbody & Shakeology) and I was ready to COMMIT! I just needed to save a little bit of money to order.  I ordered the PiYo challenge pack from Beachbody and joined Ashley's challenge group.  I loved it! I loved the workouts at HOME and the way Shakeology made me feel. I had energy, I didn't crave junkfood, I was regular for the first time in my life, and most importantly, I immediately started losing weight too!!! I had support of a personal coach that I checked in with everyday, I had others in the group that were going through the same things I was.  I was able to support others in the group and they were supporting me. It was AWESOME!
