Melissa needed to make a change! This Mom of 5 had no energy to keep up with her children, and she became depressed. All she did every day was watch TV and eat. She knew that if she didn’t change, she wouldn’t be around to care for her children.
She asked her doctors for medication, but they told her that she needed to take better care of herself and “get her mind right”. She hired a personal trainer, and got no results.
Then she heard that a workout group was being formed at her church. The class was doing Chalene Johnson’s Turbo Jam home workout routines, and Melissa was immediately hooked! She found that it was easy to pick up.
“Chalene was so full of energy, and her cast was so fun! I remember doing other workouts at home, and it’d be the same thing—day after day after day—so when I knew there was not only one Turbo Jam, but there’s a whole line of ‘em, and every day I could do something different. I knew that it was really something for me.”
When Chalene Johnson came out with a new program called ChaLEAN Extreme, Melissa decided to give that a try too. For accountability, she used the Beachbody message boards and kept in close contact with her coach.
“Not only am I fitter, I’m healthier, but I don’t have that depression any more. I’m happier than I’ve ever been . . . I’m full of energy, my marriage is happy and fulfilled because I’m happy and fulfilled. A year ago I never would have thought that fitness would be the key to me being so happy.”
After dropping 60 pounds with Beachbody home workout routines, Melissa transformed not only physically, but mentally as well. Because of the inspiration of her Beachbody coach, Melissa decided to become a Beachbody coach too! Now she’s “passing it on” and helping others just as her coach helped her!
THAT is why I’m a Beachbody coach! I was helped by my coach (Traci), and now I’m passing it on! If you need help, feel free to contact me! This is the way we are going to fight the obesity crisis in America, by one person helping another and then passing it on!
Together we’re better! SO TRUE!

P.S. All of the success stories I’m posting have won $1,000 in a Beachbody transformation contest. Some of them are in the running for a quarterly $10,000 prize. If you would like access to all of the success stories to look through, you can create a free Team Beachbody Account by clicking here.
These success stories really do hit home for me. I was once way out of shape and like these people I found a workout program that changed my life. Thanks Judy!
No kidding Bill! The quarterly voting is now closed, but I’m going to continue to post success stories every so often. I have seen an increase in MY motivation to exercise and eat clean after watching these. Hopefully, some other people can be inspired as well!
Yes! I love the success stories! I have been blessed with skinny genes, but it wasn’t until I was an adult that I got control of my eating! I love to hear people getting control of theirs!
Hi Linda! LOVE your blog! I was blessed with skinny genes too, but something happened to them when I hit my 30’s!
I guess my bad habits caught up with me, and I’m thankful for that! Now my family and I live a MUCH healthier lifestyle than we would have if I had stayed skinny! Our struggles only make us better…if we allow them to! Hmmm…I think I feel a blog post coming on about that! 
I always get so inspired by reading about others successes in weight loss. This also piqued my interest in turbo jam. I’m going to check it out. Thanks for sharing.
Oh Debbie! I think you will love turbo jam! I remember when Beachbody first came out with it. I couldn’t WAIT for them to produce another one! It’s so much fun, and you can really burn a lot of calories and not even realize you are exercising! Chalene Johnson is a master!
