Rosanna Truly Inspires Me
I remember when I first met Rosanna while waiting in line at the HSBC bank as we were both venting our unhappiness with the recent closing of many of the HSBC banks in the area. However, Rosanna noticed my P90X shirt that I was wearing and inquired about it. We got on the topic of fitness and health and I remember getting her information hoping that one day I would be able to help her live a more healthy and fulfilling life. I am so proud of Rosanna for how far she has come to this point and I know that she is ultimately going to achieve her total weight loss goal.
Here Is What Rosanna Had To Say:
My story: I met David Atkins at HSBC bank on Route 117 in Bedford, NY in May 2012. We were both on line waiting to deal with the agida of this bank. I struck a conversation with him (I saw he wore a P90x shirt being that I tried that workout in 2010 -I didn’t succeed then). I was a very overweight person back then (wearing a size 2x on my 5ft3in body frame). At the time I was doing another weight loss program that did not include exercising. I told him I wanted to always change my life for the better- a total 360 degree turnaround. He said to me that day “we are what we eat” and it hit me but I was not on board yet.
We exchanged details and 5 months later I finally bought a workout from him called “Turbofire” but it honestly sat in its package at home. Soon after I bought that program my life hit rock bottom- I lost my dad to Cirrhosis on 10.12.12 and additionally the car accident he had on 10.2.12 caused the disease to take him away much quicker.
From then until April 2013 I gained a lot a weight back. I was back to size 3x and I was definitely depressed. I stopped the other weight loss program I was doing because it was very expensive (I didn’t know that Shakeology is so much cheaper and healthier, too). However during all this time, David did not stop communicating with me and it was always through Facebook or email.
Now it has been ONE YEAR and he did not give up on me. The first and only time I saw him was at that bank in May 2012. Well May 2013 came around and David invited me to his Challenge Group again. I liked what it had to offer: SUPPORT, MOTIVATION and NUTRITION. ONE YEAR LATER I finally joined TEAM PERSEVERANCE 100%. I finally woke up and chanegd my life forever. No going back!
May 27th was my first challenge group and I did Turbofire and drank chocolate Shakeology. Within the first 12 weeks I lost 24 pounds!! I felt so good within the first week of that challenge group that in July 2013 I became a Beachbody Coach because Beachbody changed my life for the better. Why stop now when this is my new lifestyle?
It is now Jan 2014 and I am down 33 pounds and 3-4 dress sizes. I never been so STRONG, HEALTHY and ENERGIZED ever in my life. I know I have more to go but what a wonderful journey. I look younger than I am, and I feel younger than I am. I have the energy to keep up with my children, and do things they want to do without hesitating because I was so out of shape. I love Beachbody for what they promote: NUTRITION, MOTIVATION and SUCCESS. I am so glad David did NOT give up on me.
