Fitspiration Friday… Congratulations to Ray C. who lost 11 lbs. in 80 days with 80 Day Obsession, Ultimate Portion Fix containers, and Shakeology!! Ray had this to say about his transformation journey… “I had fallen out of shape and gained weight; I was sluggish and lacked energy. Mentally, I started to feel hopeless and lacked the drive to push for what I wanted. Then while doing 80 Day Obsession, I began to experience shifts that I never expected. I started becoming more focused and more driven. I grew up in a restaurant and got used to eating huge portions. The portion-control containers helped a lot in the size of my meals and in how much to eat.” Way to go, Ray!!

Fitspiration Friday… Congratulations to Olivia F. who lost 12 lbs. with 80 Day Obsession!! This is what Olivia had to say about her transformation… “I wanted to look and feel good again after having babies. Going to a gym was just not ideal with two kiddos in tow (cost of a trainer, nursery fees, travel time, etc!). I noticed major changes in my abs and legs, but the BIGGEST change was how I felt! I felt so much stronger and more confident!” Way to go, Olivia!!

Fitspiration Friday… Congratulations to John who lost 29.4 lbs. with Transform :20, Shakeology, and Beachbody Performance Supplements in just 6 weeks!! John had this to say about his fitness journey… “It was really challenging, but I feel that the modifiers make this good for anyone. Also, I loved how it was really about challenging yourself. Shaun was the first trainer to change me mentally, even though I had pretty good weight loss before. The best workouts are the ones you can do consistently, and because [each workout] is 20 minutes, it really cuts down on the “no time” excuse, so I feel more people will be consistent.” Way to go, John!!

Transformation Tuesday… Congratulations to Karen who lost 22.6 lbs. with CIZE and Shakeology in just 60 days!! Karen struggled with losing baby weight but nothing seemed to work. Her body insecurities led to depression, which then led to relationship issues with friends and family. When Karen discovered CIZE, she was thrilled being that it is a dance themed workout and she was a professional dancer prior to kids. She knew the program was a perfect match and would give her the results she longed for. This is what Karen had to say about her transformation journey… “I would cry almost every day because I hated how my weight affected me. I hit my breaking point and knew it was time for a change! I wanted the old Karen back! CIZE was the perfect fit from day one. Although I was getting the most out of my workouts, Shaun T made it feel like I was in the studio again. Each day was challenging, but as I kept going and shedding more and more weight, my stamina increased. After completing the program, I am so happy and more energized. I am excited to go out with my friends, my relationship with my husband and daughters is better because of my positive attitude, and I can’t wait to share CIZE with my girls when they get older.” Way to go, Karen!!

Transformation Tuesday… Congratulations to Kila S. who lost 20 lbs. with PIYO and Shakeology. After having her fourth child, Kila felt depressed about her post-pregnancy body. Although it was a struggle to get her body back into shape, Kila was committed to making the change. PIYO and Shakeology helped Kila lose the weight and surpass her goals. This is what she had to say about her journey… “I liked that it’s low-impact and that post-pregnancy I could still do most all of the exercises. I didn’t feel overwhelmed and I felt confident doing the moves. After doing PiYo, I vastly increased my core strength. I can hold planks and do core work I haven’t been able to do before. I’ve become addicted to fitness and taking care of myself. I know now that taking care of myself helps me be a better wife, mother, and person.” Way to go, Kila!!
