I was debating on whether I should post this or not but figured what the hell... if you arent interested you will just blow by it and not respond.
Many of you guys know that I am doing the whole BeachBody thing. What you guys might NOT know is how much its changed my life. I consider you guys my second "family" and felt like this needed to be shared.
I originally started out being a "discount coach". I really liked the shakeology and wanted to keep doing it but it was so freaking expensive so I signed on as "coach" to get the discount on the product only. I had no intentions on actually coaching. Who was I to coach someone on fitness while I was like 30lbs overweight?
I started this venture 3 months ago and OMG I am so glad that I did. Not only have I lost the 30lbs but I am making money and changing people's lives in the process. Words cannot describe how good it feels when someone you know comes up to you with tears in their eyes saying "thank you for helping me". I feel like I have a purpose now. Like I was born to do this. It just fell into my lap and I chose to run with it and it all feels so natural.
Only 3 months in, and I have already earned a trip to Nashville next year. I have increased rank and am becoming quite successful by just being honest and sharing my results and stories with others. I dont feel like I'm "selling crap to people". I hate talking money but there is some SERIOUS money in this guys! I am making about $400 a week doing this and I'm not even really doing ANYTHING at all. A girl I went to high school with was just able to quit her job as a teacher to stay at home full time doing this and she was able to achieve that in under a year and she has THREE KIDS!
My ultimate goal in all of this is to be able to quit my cubicle-farm job by the time M is in Kindergarden and do this full time at home. The ultimate payoff would be to be able to pick my baby up from school and not have to worry about time constraints and daycare. Thinking of that possibility that makes me want to push even harder.
I know its not for everyone and I applogize if I seem redundant in some of my posts about this but I am really AMAZED at how fast this is going. Its the PERFECT job for the stay at home mom (or even the working mom who hates her job and wants out)! Earn some extra side money while staying at home with the babies all while getting fit! Its such a win-win!
If any of you are interested in learning more... shoot me a PM. There is a glance into coaching FB group and it tells you EVERYTHING you need to know before comitting. There is zero pressure to sign on. Its all quick informational youtube videos.
I do love you all and I'm sorry if this post came out as "selly" or "pushy".
Emerson Kate, born 38w5d on 4/6/12 at 6:02 p.m., 5 lbs 13 oz and 18 3/4 inches. Lucas Matthew, born 39w5d on 4/11/14 at 8:20 a.m., 7 lbs 4 oz and 20 inches.
I saw you sent me a fb message but I'm not sure how it all works yet and I haven't had the chance to look up the videos, but I'm interested! I really need to loose 30 pounds. I'm poor though. Haha.
Awesome, im glad its working for you and you're getting healthy at the same time. Whilei like the program. I think your success is more about you than the program. The program is the framework, but you are what makes it work.
it's awesome to see you being so successful! I have an old work acquaintance that did a similar journey with advocare and is now making $200K+ a year! I hope you have similar success

I'm so proud of you! I wish I had the money to put into it, but it's just not in the cards right now. Raising 3 kids with no child support doesn't leave room for anything extra. Maybe down the road though!
Curious. Do they 1099 you or will you self report your income?
They 1099, so you are basically a business. You do get to write off EVERYTHING (all of your shakeology, your fitness programs, your fitness apparel, all of the trips you go on, etc).

That's so great! I have been thinking about your pm and am even considering putting off TTC until I can drop some weight. My friend in VA is a coach too and just quit her job as a bank teller to SAH with her kids and coach.
I'm glad you found something great that works for you! I may be talking to DH when I get home to see how he feels if We put off TTC so I can drop some lbs first.
Question: is this for girls and guys? My hubby needs some inspiration! (His words not mine)!

Its totally for guys too! There is a JACKED guy in the PiYo videos.
Good for you, lady! I work for an MLM company (similar products but not a direct competitor per se) and thought it was all BS before I started here but obv there are good ones and bad ones and people have great success with some of these products! Happy to hear it's working well for you.
Wow that's awesome and you are doing so well! I might be interested after this baby comes, it sounds like it works so well. Is it workout DVDs and shakes? Can you just do the workouts? One of the teachers I used to work with is a coach now too (she moved to a different state though), she's had three kids and looks amazing.
I am so glad you posted this! Congratulations on your progress, you have so much to be proud of!
Noww.....tell me everything! This sounds amazing and definitely worth looking into since my current work situation ia problematic and the idea of going back to the hospital full time makes me want to curl up and die. I love beachbody, I did a modified P90x and I am convinced that I was able to conceive A because of it. Sadly I have very bad knees from running and genetic dislocations so I cannot usually complete a program without an injury and have to modify frequently. I also have about 25 lbs to lose to get to a perfect weight. I tried to look up piyp because that sounds like I could handle it but it wasn't on the website? Is it even feasible for me with the knee problem? Would I have to wait until after the baby comes to start? How much time do you devote to this would you say? Can it be done off hours? I want to know everything! Also pip your hot self!

Wow. You are doing amazing! I started drinking the shakes for lunch during the week and it has definitely helped my weight loss when I'm consistent. I have the workout, but haven't tried it yet. I'm glad being a coach is working out so well for you. I hadn't heard about the discount and may need to look into that.
I'm ready to get into shape. I don't care if I'm a size 14, I want to be FIT. I haven't been truly FIT since high school and I want to be fit and healthy. Do you eat clean along with the shakes and the PIYO? How does this all work? Note: I have tried the Advocare and Plexus Slim stuff and both made me puke, are the shakes similar or is it a protein-based system? Are they safe for people with IBS? Feel free to PM me and brainwash me....I need to lose about 30 more lbs and tone the jiggle.
