I am so proud of this man and his dedication to re-committing to take care of himself and retaking control of his health and fitness.  Read his journey and let him know how proud you are. We all struggle at some point but the key is to pick ourselves back up and move forward. I feel better now. A few years ago, I was in world class condition having completed 2 Ironman events within a 6-month time frame. Prior to that, I was a distance runner and had maintained a strong level of fitness for nearly two decades. Fast forward to 2015 and the stresses of work began to cause my focus, motivation and attitude toward fitness to stray. While my nutrition was never poor, the focu...

Yikes! Getting older sucks, no more eating what you want, your body changes how quickly you gain weight and how slowly you lose it.  What is up? Sounds depressing not really, keep reading.   As we age both men and women experience a declining metabolic rate, what is that? (Metabolic rate is the rate at which our body burns calories) and to add to that, women have to deal with menopause. Yippee! No not really.  Gaining weight after menopause, mean you’re more likely to gain it in your belly.  What happens is the production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone slows down.  While, testosterone levels also start to drop, but at a slower rate.

Meet Randi, age 53 from Seward, NE She entered  The Beachbody Challenge  in February 2015 and won $2,500! Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body? I have been obese almost all my life. I was in an abusive marriage for 15 years, where daily I was told how fat and ugly I was. I felt hopeless. So I would make myself feel better by eating. My food was my friend…it would never judge me. My weight kept going up and I kept going down. Down so far, I hated myself. My marriage ended. But my addiction to food did not. Years later, I married again, and found out I was pregnant. 5 months pregnant! I was shocked, and in disbelief. But great news, I could eat for 2 now! After all, I was pregnant. As the years went by, I kept getting heavier and the feelings of self hate kept building. My daughter was now being affected. When there was a school function or activity to attend, I would have to sit in the back of the room wh...
