So many people are into the fad diets, and short term weight loss goals, but I want to introduce something that is more than just a diet, a weight loss shake, or even just a protein shake..
SHAKEOLOGY was introduced to me when I was looking to lose weight, but I needed more than the weight loss. I needed energy, to feel better inside and out.  When this was brought to my attention, I thought, here we go, I was using GNC, Jillian Michael’s shake, now onto this one.. My coach told me, this is different.  I heard that one before though, so I was skeptical.  But I also thought, you know what?  I am obviously not getting what I want with these shakes, so why not give one more a try.. what is the worst that can happen? I am in the same spot I started in, OR I finally find something that works for me.  
I decided to give it a try..  2 weeks into using Shakeology on a DAILY basis in place of my breakfast (a meal I tend to skip is why I chose breakfast), I noticed my bloating had significantly decreased and I felt like I was gaining energy! I am also a HUGE chocolate fan and noticed after using chocolate Shakeology, I was no longer craving my ice cream and sweets! Could it be this Shakeology is really making that big of a difference? 

After just 4 short months, I was completely transforming myself! I lost 24 lbs and 21 inches total! I was feeling like I was gaining my life back!! I was able to keep up with my little one, as my infant was keeping me up at night! It was like my miracle drink!
 I never missed a day of Shakeology and also incorporated my beach body programs Insanity, Tubo Fire, and 30 days of P90X! 
I was starting to realize when they say 80% of your weight loss is nutrition, they mean it! Although working out was toning me a lot and increasing my metabolism, my eating habits were also increasing my metabolism, but also with using Shakeology, it was giving me the nutrients I was not use to getting.. I hated veggies, would only eat green beans and salad piled with ranch dressing on top… It was like my taste buds were changing into wanting healthy food! 
Then I realized, with all the dense nutrition this shake is giving me, I’m not lacking the vitamins and minerals that I was before that was causing me to crave more unhealthy food.. It’s so true when you eat or drink anything.. For instance, you drink energy drinks with caffeine and chemicals, you crave it.. you eat fast food often, you crave it, but people don’t realize its the same concept with clean eating.. When you eat healthy food, YOU CRAVE MORE!! You realize how good your body feels and its like a drug, but a good one! For the first 2 weeks, it is really tough, because you still have so much in your system, but once its washed out, you do NOT need it! It’s all psychological!

As I continued my journey with Shakeology and beach body, I kept myself accountable, checked into my team beach body account and posted my workouts daily, and ended up with more than good health.. Beach body gave me 500$ just for having a transformation!

So here I am 1 year later into using Shakeology and beach body programs at home to keep my fitness levels up! I am literally in the best shape of my life.. even after cheering and dancing in high school and college.. I never felt this good.. EVER!! 
I never had abs, and never have felt so confident in myself.. The best part about me getting into this regimen with beach body… ITS A LIFESTYLE! I have never had results and have been able to stick something, but beach body was different, the workouts are motivating and easy for me esp with 2 kids that I cannot just jump in the car and go to the gym. 
I have completed the Ultimate Reset, T25, P90X3, and will be doing 21 Day fix next week! Not only the workouts are amazing, but having Shakeology as an easy and convenient meal, BUT more so finally having a HEALTH shake, rather than a weight loss shake give me more than just weight loss, I have my health! I have improved health wise in so many ways it is unbelievable… I now have been able to act as a role model for my family and my husband, 2 children, mother, sister, AND grandmother with diabetes LOVES Shakeology and it is helping everyone live that healthy lifestyle they wanted!
