How did you feel about yourself and your body?<\/b><br \/>\nI started T25 sixteen months after having my son. Prior to having my son, I used to run a lot. I even ran two half marathons. I also enjoyed doing classes at the gym. I worked out during my pregnancy, but once I had my son I developed postpartum depression and was very self conscience of my body. I was completely unhappy with my body and the excess belly fat I still had at 16 months postpartum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/teambeachbody.com\/shop\/-\/shopping\/BCPT25205?referringRepId=1393\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3358 aligncenter\" alt=\"shandi-before-after-focus-t25\" src=\"http:\/\/howtobefit.com\/coach-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/shandi-before-after-focus-t25.jpg\" width=\"628\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/howtobefit.com\/coach-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/shandi-before-after-focus-t25.jpg 628w, https:\/\/howtobefit.com\/coach-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/shandi-before-after-focus-t25-300x297.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?*<\/b><br \/>\nMy son inspired me to change. I want to show him a life of being healthy and fit.

How did the program and Beachbody \u00ae help you overcome that challenge?*<\/b><br \/>\nI am a stay at home mom so my greatest challenge was finding time to do the workout. With the program only being 25 mins I am able to workout while my son naps during the day!<\/p>\n<p><b>Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?*<\/b><br \/>\nMy body has changed a lot since doing T25. The results I have gotten in just 10 weeks is amazing. Not only has my body changed, but so has my energy level. I am most proud that I completed it, and I am now obsessed with exercise again!<\/p>\n<p><b>How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?*<\/b><br \/>\nI am much more comfortable in my skin and around people. I feel like I am a better mom because I have more energy and because I have more confidence in myself.
