The motivation you get from your group is instrumental and kept me going even when I wanted to quit. …I was able to track my workouts, measurements, weight, and food all in one app. … My clothes slowly started ?tting looser and at this point none of them ?t. I’ve had to buy a new wedding dress because I lost so much weight from the original one I purchased a year ago! I will be getting married in April and Beachbody has given me the con?dence and energy to actually enjoy this huge milestone in my life.” Way to go, Sarah!!

Fitspiration Friday… Congratulations to Jacqueline Ko who lost 121 lbs. in 15 months with Transform :20, MBF/A, Focus T25, LET’S GET UP, Shakeology, and Beachbody Performance Energize + Recover, “My absolute favorite thing about the programs I’ve followed is the length the workouts. If I do a workout, it needs to be under 30-35mins, otherwise I lose focus and motivation. I also love the way that the trainers motivate you throughout the video. I am an individual that needs to be coached through workouts and told what to do, so I appreciate the ability to just turn off my brain (in a way), follow along with the trainer, and my only focus is just putting all my energy and effort into my exercise. The most obvious physical change is my shape and size. I have lost signi?cant weight in my face, arms, legs, and most noticeably my stomach. My con?dence and my energy have skyrocketed. While some of the con?dence de?nitely stems from ‘looking good,’ I feel so proud in knowing that I succeeded. I have honestly surpassed even my own expectations. … I’ve maintained my healthy lifestyle and my weight loss and I’ve taken it a step further by toning my body and losing additional inches and fat along my waist and hips.” Way to go, Jacqueline!!

Fitspiration Friday… Congratulations to Kameron K. who lost 105 lbs. in 15 months with 10 Rounds, Shakeology, and Beachbody Performance Energize. “During my last visit to the doctor, they weighed me, and I was the heaviest that I had ever been nearing 300 lbs. Seeing the numbers was all too real and something that I could no longer deny. I hated what I had turned myself into. I knew, even if I didn’t really believe it, that I was better than that, that I had lost control of my life and still had the power within me to get it back. 10 Rounds is just as much fun as it is effective. A high energy, immersive, weight-shredding experience. I immediately fell in love with the trainer, Joel. His energy and enthusiasm was equal to the genuineness in his passion and effort that go into every workout. I loved that each day was different, no repeats from day to day. Every workout leaves me dripping. The program as well leaves so much room for personal improvement; I’ve done it through several times and always find myself being pushed farther than before, always ending each workout completely drenched in sweat. 10 Rounds feels unique, personal, and authentic. It’s always a challenge no matter how many times I do it, which is exactly what need and what I love. The changes in my physique since starting my fitness journey have been immensely rewarding. Just being able to fit in more clothes and not have to worry about needing to continuously buy plus sized wear just to stay comfortable has been more than worth the challenges I’ve faced. Being able to be confident in my appearance is one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever given myself.” Way to go, Kameron!!

Transformation Tuesday… Congratulations to Marisa H. who lost 81 lbs. in 15 months with 9 Week Control Freak, 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix EXTREME, MBF/A, 6 Weeks of THE WORK, 2B Mindset, Shakeology, and Beachbody Performance Energize / Hydrate / Recover. “I’m a mom to two littles. With my second pregnancy, I gained a signi?cant amount of weight … I had started going to the gym, and then COVID happened… and I felt like everything was out of my control. Since gyms were closed, I was at a loss with what to do until a friend (my coach Anika Blake) shared on Facebook about her journey with Beachbody and her physical/mental results from it. She was about to start her ?rst accountability group. Her optimism and personal results inspired me to join, and I am so thankful that I did! I realized the one thing I could control was how I treated my body. And with social distancing and feeling alone at that time, being a part of a group online was so perfect to feel ‘social’ and stay motivated. Currently I’ve lost over 80 lbs. I have de?nition in my arms, legs, shoulders, and a ?atter core. My clothes ?t differently, and I’m in sizes I’ve never ?t into before. I went from a 2X to a size medium, some shirts even size small!” Way to go, Marisa!!
