Deidra Mangus

I am a wife, I am a mom of 2, and I am a team beachbody health and fitness coach. To be honest, I thought I was always going to be a “business career” mom but after having my first child, my priorities quickly changed! I hung up the briefcase and calculator and I called it quits after 6 years in public accounting and “retired”so that I could be a stay at home mom!

As I progressed through my new life as a stay at home mom, I found myself exhaused from the sleepless nights and unhappy with my post two babies body. I needed something to increase my energy and wanted to feel better not only on the outside but on the inside too! Just shy of hitting my one year mark in “retirement”, I joined a 21-day fix challenge group on facebook hoping to shed those last 3 very stubborn pounds and gain a little more energy so I could keep up with my active kiddos. But so much more happened…I committed and I transformed my life in ways I never thought possible! I finally learned how important clean, healthy eating was and was getting results fast! 

I didn’t initially plan on coaching…coaching just kind of happened! What I initially wanted was a discount on the Shakeology! I had tried it a few times before my February challenge group but never drank it consistently enough to feel the benefits – I had only ever tasted them! I wanted to be able to add Shakeology to my daily life but as a SAHM I couldn’t justify the expense. But…the discount made it just a tad more appealing! So I signed up…but just for the discount…or so I thought! 

I had a pretty good transformation picture and as I started sharing that with my family and getting lots of positive feedback I thought maybe I could help a few people each month and in turn make enough to cover the shakeo for me and my hubby afterall, he was my biggest supporter from day 1 and had just started his own journey with T25. I wanted him to feel the same benefits I was feeling so I set my first goal and I started sharing my story, my success and my daily life!!

My first 5 customers were all family and my first “coach” was my sister, only because she was active duty military and got the fees waived! It was their support in the begining that really got me into the whole idea! The more I talked to my family about the different workout programs and how shakeology was improving my quality of life, the more comfortable I got sharing my new lifestyle with others. As a result I was attracting more customers and the overall health of my ENTIRE family was improving! 

Saying “I’m a coach” was helping me stay accountable. I was teaching my family how to eat better

 and how important it is to exercise and as I watched my daughter learn to squat and hold a plank

 at just 2.5 years old I saw the example I was setting for my family. Its not about being a certain 

weight its about FEELING good!!! 

I started sharing my life on facebook – which was very new to me – and as I did, messages started 

pouring in about how I was inspiring others. Me…inspiring other people?!?! This was something I

 had NEVER heard before but I liked it! At the same time I started seeing transformations all 

around me. My mother in law has lost over 40 pounds, my mom is more toned at 50 than she was 

at 20 and my sister in law lost all the baby weight from handsome boy #3 and then some! 

So my “why” that started out to save a little money on the shakeo quickly transformd to empower

 other women and men to get fit and be healthy and to show my kids and my family how to live a

 happy, healthy and fulfilling life!!! Currently, my family members make up about 35% of my active

 coaches and its is through their continued support and their continued dedication to their own health and fitness that I am able to say I am a Diamond Beachbody Coach!
