Meet Taylor C.! She participated in The Beachbody Challenge and won the $500 Daily Prize for June 24th!
Before
losing 53 pounds with P90X, I WAS MISERABLE!!! I was so overweight and
out of shape that I was being made fun of on a daily basis. I ate
horribly, got out of breath from simply walking across the room, and
would get incredibly depressed when clothes shopping because the biggest
size on the rack barely fit anymore. Life sucked!
I was only 21.
I had my whole life ahead of me. And all I wanted was to feel good
about myself. But instead, every day I’d look in the mirror and cry. For
a long time I just assumed my life would ALWAYS be this way; I just
couldn’t imagine EVER being happy. But after watching numerous family
members suffer health consequences due to being overweight, I realized
that I HAD TO CHANGE. Not tomorrow. Not next month. BUT TODAY! And that
nothing was going to change unless I did the changing. No one was going
to push me to lose weight. No one was going to hold my hand. No one was
going to stop the temptation of eating bad food. This change was
something that I had to do myself—for myself. And I had to do it,
starting TODAY!
My brother had just started P90X and dared me to
try it—so I did. At first, I was very hesitant because it seemed beyond
my capabilities. But once I started, I quickly realized that I COULD do
the workouts; it was my mind that had been holding me back the whole
time. And once I changed my attitude, I completely changed my life.
P90X
was fun, but challenging, and not once did I ever get bored. I did
things that I never thought were physically possible for me and I’m so
proud of my results. Now my fat is gone, my muscles are toned, and I’m
so much stronger than I ever imagined. Did I ever think I’d have a
six-pack? NOPE. But I do! In six short months, I went from 170 pounds to
117, went from a size 12 to a 2, and am off all anti-depressants and
anti-anxiety meds. I feel so good about myself right now and totally
love life. And since there’s absolutely no better feeling in the world
than an exercise high, I decided to continue my exercise regimen with
INSANITY®. Every day I walk away from my workouts with a sense of power,
satisfaction, and of course, a whole lot of sweat! And it feels great.
Just
recently I started drinking Shakeology and it’s AMAZING! Not only is it
super filling, it gives me tons of energy and has increased my mood
dramatically. Shakeology has also helped me overcome my chronic
headaches. I used to pop Advil every couple of hours, but now—nada.
Plus, I love the fact that it’s NOT full of chemicals. I really do love
what Shakeology has done for me (and I can’t stress that enough)!
Even
though I was the one who pushed play every day, I never would have been
able to do it without Beachbody, Tony Horton, and my amazing Coach,
Haran. So thank you all! I now have a love for myself that I never had
before and my whole outlook on life is completely different. I’m now a
new person, and finally have my life back!
