I had the honor of watching part of her transformation unfold and let me just tell you! SHE IS AN INSPIRATION! Always positive, never doubting her abilities, and always wanting to push harder!

“At 25 years of age I never thought I would step on the scale and be so close to the 300 pound mark. Just before my 21st birthday I rapidly gained 100 pounds. I stopped exercising and stopped watching what I ate and four years later that 100 pounds turned to 145. I had no self respect, no self esteem, and no self worth. I don’t even remember looking into the mirror those 5 years, I couldn’t look myself in the eye. I was smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, sleeping 16-20 hours a night. I could barely get myself out of bed to go to work. I would drive through the fast food window almost every day, order 12 dollars worth of food off the dollar menu and still be hungry when I finished it all. Life became unmanageable and I suddenly found myself unsure if I could live. I was taking every anti-depressant under the sun. My work quality declined and I was constantly getting reprimanded for poor work performances. I stopped smiling. I stopped having fun. I didn’t know who I was anymore.

On March 31, 2011, I woke up feeling the same way I always did: stuck. I knew this was the way my life was destined to be forever. There was no big white flash of hope or any powerful revelation that struck me in the head, but on that day, I knew that if I didn’t do something to start bettering my life that I was going to die. It had suddenly turned into a life or death situation for me. I knew that if I didn’t change I was going to die. I had once loved life. And the thought of the happy girl I once was gave me hope. I quit smoking that day, and I have never taken another puff since. It took a year before I was willing to start working on my diet. I made slow dietary changes and bought p90x which I did occasionally. Slow changes helped me lose the first 40 pounds in 6 months. Once I saw those slow changes take shape in my body, I realized I could change my life. The next 60 pounds came off a lot easier because I got serious about dieting and exercise. I loved the way I felt! With 100 pounds gone I knew that it was finally time to start taking my life, my fitness, and my transformation seriously. I had completed p90x in a year. I wondered what would happen if I completed a program in the recommended time frame. My greatest battle has always been within my own head. I was constantly telling myself I couldn’t do it. My brain likes to live in fear. It fears change, it fears commitment, and it fears discipline. I had always been so afraid to try Insanity because I knew I would never be able to complete it, but on a whim I bought it. I spent the next 60 days proving to myself that I was worth it. I spent 60 days at war with my head and with my body. I pressed play every day, I cried, I whined, and I said bad words, but at the end of those 60 days I found myself 27 pounds lighter and 32 inches smaller. In those 60 days I proved to myself that nothing was impossible now that I had changed my thoughts. I proved that thoughts become actions.

To me the Insanity program was the ultimate fitness program. I never thought I could complete it, yet alone have success with it. I got a coach, I entered a support group, and I used these tools as a source of accountability on the days when I wanted to ignore Shaun T. To me Insanity was for athletes and skinny people, and to be honest…I was still feeling a little bit “fat”. I chose Insanity because I wanted to see what I could really do when I set my mind to it. I wanted to prove to myself and to anyone who had ever doubted me that I was unstoppable. Beachbody has given me the old Cortni back. Beachbody has given me an opportunity to make money doing what I love, helping people achieve their weight loss goals. Beachbody has given me self worth, self esteem, self respect, and a lot of confidence. I deserve nothing but the best, and why would I turn to any other fitness company when that is the case. I owe my health and my changed mind to Beachbody. My gratitude is unending.”

The post Transformation Tuesday! Cortni S.’s Insanity Transformation! first appeared on Nikki Kuban Minton.

How many of you sit and think about being able to workout out or lose your baby weight, or lose those freshman 15 that turned into 30? We all want to be somewhere we aren’t! Even if we are at 100 lbs we want to have muscle and look fit right???? Well there is a reason why people are put into our life and why we interact with them! I see people everyday want to be someone they are not, but then fail at the goals they set for themselves!

This is a girl I have known for YEARS! We reconnected after having babies and she asked what I was doing, I told her what program and she said oh I have Insanity I can do that! Then she would call me every day sometimes every week and ask how I changed my diet, what was I doing at this moment because she wanted to try it! She became faithful to her workouts and nutrition, never had to second guess getting her workout in- that was a no brainer. But she was a tempted girl in the nutrition area! Being a nurse she knew what was good for you and what was bad, what to eat and what to stay away from, but she still loved her hoagies and pizza (don’t we all). She finally got addicted to shakeology and has never missed a day!

Brandee Started at 157 lbs and is now, 2 years later 115 pounds! Did she have a goal, of course- she wanted to look amazing on her wedding day and on her honeymoon! Well she hit that goal for sure! From a size 10-12 to a 2-4, absolutely amazing how life can get in the way but when you get educated and serious about what you want- you make it happen! So proud to call her a friend!

I also had a girl email me yesterday stating she had lost 6lbs in 1 week with T25, another who has lost 10lbs in 90 days with T25 and Shakeology! look for yourself!

The thing I have seen alot of lately is how can I get such great results with only working out 25 minutes a day… GUESS WHAT! YOU CAN =) You see here it works, you have a very intense workout for 25 minutes with no breaks!

It is possible to reach your goals when you want to, have the support, and are fully committed! I am here if you have any questions! nminton24@gmail.com or just click the “lets talk box”

The post Meet Christina P. and her Insanity Transformation! first appeared on Nikki Kuban Minton.

Up until this past year when I packed on 52 pounds of pregnancy pudge, never in my life have I been overweight, or out of shape. Actually, I was that 6-foot tall athlete who had a killer body and cocky attitude; truly believing that I did not need a workout program to keep me fit because I was genetically gifted.

But once I ballooned to 200 lbs. while prego with my first kid-o, I realized that if I didn’t seek out help to lose the baby weight, I’d end up just like all the other women in my family who got bigger and bigger with each and every kid they had. And there was no way l was going to use their lame excuse of, “I’m a mom, so it’s okay that I’m out of shape.” So I bought INSANITY shortly after giving birth and my abs became visible within three of starting the program!

Almost instantly, the fat started melting away, and I was getting stronger and more ripped than ever. And in 30 short days, I had my abs back—MY PRE-PREGNANCY ABS! I’ve never experienced such fast results before from exercise; not only was I shocked, so were my friends, family, and even South Carolina’s WACH Fox News—who did a story on my incredibly quick post-pregnancy bounce back.

While there were many skeptics who swore up and down that I was lying and had used old pictures for my “AFTER” results, their cruel words didn’t faze me one bit because I knew the truth: I put in the work, I got the results. Now that I’ve completed INSANITY, I’ve since moved on to Brazil Butt Lift so I can sculpt a sexy bum-bum to match my awesome abs!!

Today, I’m a Beachbody Coach and am addicted to helping others reclaim their lives –and that’s why I am going to get my INSANITY certification this summer.

I absolutely love these Beachbody programs and will be the first to attest to the fact that you CAN get real results from these in-home workouts. If I did it, anyone can. Thanks Beachbody. You rock.

You can change your life, too. Take The Beachbody Challenge™, for the ultimate motivation to get fit! Select any Beachbody® program and once you complete it, share your results for your chance to win cash and prizes.
