I have successfully lost 35 pounds and have accomplished things I never thought possible along the way but I haven't done it alone! If I could offer one piece of advice to my fellow competitors it would be to find positive, healthy people to support you. I have been very fortunate to have these people in my corner:
My husband who let me spend an embarrassing amount of money on a bike and became a cycling convert. It has been so good for our marriage to share a healthy hobby.
My neighbor Mina who reminds me to high five for our accomplishments, no matter how small. And for getting in trouble with me for giggling in hot yoga class! She also reminds me that those badass women in our boot camp class don't have boobs when I start comparing myself to them!
My coworker Janet who was the only person that didn't look at me like I was crazy when I suggested we do a triathlon or 100 mile bike ride. I don't think I would have gone through with them if she wasn't on board!
My internet friends - Amanda for brainwashing me into trying Shakeology and Piyo. I have never felt better and my husband loves the Piyo results - it should really come with a warning that it will make your spouse more, um, attentive. And Kristen - I don't know you but I refuse to let you take my money in the dietbet so you might be the most motivating of all!
I would love to share this positivity and support with more people, so I became a Beachbody Coach. If you'd like to join my village, please email me or check out my website - www.Beachbodycoach.com/loribreito
