Overall Health Transformation Success Story with Lorie S.

There is something very special about this transformation... 

My mama has always been my biggest fan with everything in life.  Even when I had no support anywhere else, she believed in me, and cheered me on.  One thing in particular was with my career as a fitness coach with Beachbody.  As I worked as an ER nurse, had my 2nd baby, I was ready to stay at home with my boys, but we didn't have the finances to just let me stop working, so I decided to go with my passion with fitness and help others while working from home! Thats the freedom and opportunity Beachbody gave me! When no one believed in me, my mom was there. She was skeptical, but still knew how passionate I was, and said "Go for it, you've always been the person to do anything your heart desires and make it happen." So I did.. pushed as hard as I could to be successful.. 

But one thing that I always had in the back of my head was 
knowing if I can help my mom and get her to join me on this journey to better health and fitness, then I will be successful.. She was always on high blood pressure medication, anti-anxiety medication, high cholesterol medication, and was pre-diabetic.  She always had the excuses though not to workout.. or I would literally find stashes of Reese cups hidden in her closet.. no joke.. literal closet eater.. I felt helpless and there was nothing I could do or say to help her.

There are moments that I doubted my mom would never find the right mindset to be happy with who she was. She was depressed, unhappy, and extremely unhealthy. The doctors told her that she would probably never get off of her medications again.

As I continued my fitness coaching career, I wanted nothing more than anything to be able to help my mom and for her to be happy but I knew that I couldn't do it for her she had to be self-motivated and wanted it herself!

Something hit her at the beginning of this year. It wasn't me that all the sudden made an impact on her, of course I never gave up on her but something inside of her changed. She had a burning desire to finally make the change!

I am so proud of her that since January, she has decided to change her life for the best and despite her health issues, limited movement in her left elbow, and her age and being postmenopausal, she was letting no excuses get in her way!

I am so proud to say that she has been so committed and dedicated to her own fitness and health journey that she is officially off her cholesterol medication, blood pressure medication, and anti anxiety medication, and is no longer prediabetic and now has gone from 225 to 195! 

More than anything, she has energy that I've never seen before, she is happy all of the time and her spunky self, and just glows! I have my mom and would not trade this in for the world!!! This journey I have started is so much more than that.. My mom and biggest fan has joined me too and the best feeling ever is seeing the success she is now having because of this journey with Beachbody!! 
She has completed the 21 DAY FIX, CIZE,SLIM IN 6, and currently doing HIP HOP ABS! She also is a clean eater (no more closet eater with Reese Cups), and drinks Shakeology DAILY which is her favorite meal full of super foods and dense nutrition that helps her energy levels, digestion, and cravings!! 

I am so excited to be on this journey with my mom, and there is nothing more rewarding than helping others (of all ages) changing their lives and getting the results they have always wanted, but never pushed hard enough to reach them or found the right fit for them! 

I am now looking for 5 people to join my next 30 day online fitness challenge/support group to get 1:1 coaching from me, daily support, motivation, health and nutrition tips, and recipes to be sure your on track with your nutrition!!

Mother/Daughter Fit For Summer Challenge!

MOM & DAUGHTER FITNESS CHALLENGE- FIT FOR SUMMER!

Now, being a role model is important for our families right? But one thing I have gained in my own journey is being able to bring my mother on it with me! As our family struggles with weight and health issues, I knew that helping my mother was at the VERY top of my list!! As I was working as a fitness coach for 2.5 years now, it took me 2 years to really get her involved... YES, this was on HER time, not mine!

I have learned that we cannot want something for someone more than they want it yourself.  Here is the game changer though... I NEVER once gave up on her! I continued to encourage, support, and try to motivate her! I honestly feel that is what helped her come along back in January of this year! 
Now that my mother Lorie Shusteric and I both have been on our fitness journeys and amazing results, we are ready to share this journey with others to find success, happiness, and health!
As a part of our journey, we participated in Beachbody Challenges, used a fitness program (yes, we work out at HOME) of our choice from the many options that Beachbody provides us with, and incorporate Clean Eating, and replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology, our health shake full of superfoods and dense nutrition! Yes, this is an entire meal! 

So what you get is---> 
FITNESS + NUTRITION + SUPPORT = RESULTS!!
Yes, in our challenge groups, we provide 1:1 coaching and mentoring, nutrition and fitness tips, recipes, and help with meal planning (No I am NOT a nutritionist, but I am educated with nutrition classes, and experience as a personal trainer and my OWN experience through my fitness journey and as a Figure Competitor), along with daily motivation and accountability.  I have noticed through experience of running my challenge groups for 2.5 years now, that most people struggle with having a support system to help them daily, or because they want to "DIET" their way to success! 

Well, I have news!!! You CANNOT DIET AND BE SUCCESSFUL FOREVER! Your body is made a certain way for a reason!! It REQUIRES nutrition, whole foods, carbs, protein, fats, and water! If you deprive your body of these, EVENTUALLY you will have to start eating them again, and the weight WILL come back on! Ok, enough with the CAPS! It just means those words are important lol!

Ok, so back to my challenge! Since helping my mother along on her journey and seeing such amazing results:
Lowered cholesterol --> Actually, her Doctor said she would be on it FOREVER, and last week was completely TAKEN OFF of her meds after YEARS of being on medication!! 
Lowered blood pressure, lowered blood sugar (was borderline diabetic), and lost 20 lbs (that she hasn't lost in years), more energy, on a regular eating schedule without craving or binging like she use to, and is stronger and more fit than I EVER remember her and she is now 52!!
Pretty amazing?? Yes!! 
For me, I have lost 40 lbs myself, more energy, less cravings, better digestion, and now am competing as an NPC Figure competitor at the age of 29 AFTER having 2 children!

So if this is what can happen for you, would you give it a try? Would you be able to commit to 60 days with us to potentially CHANGE YOUR LIFE?1?! Yes, I'm back to the CAPs because it is that important! Your health, your happiness, and your success IS important! We know how it feels and this opportunity we were given is amazing and now its time to pay it forward to others who struggle with their weight, energy, nutrition, and/or motivation!
Whether you are looking to lose 5, 10, 25, or 100 lbs, YOU are totally capable of making your goals happen IF you want it bad binge enough!

If you are ready to take your leap of faith to your fitness journey and what you are doing is NOT working for you, your opportunity is waiting, and I am here to help you start your journey to a successful and healthy/fulfilling lifestyle!  Please fill out the application below and I will contact you for more information on how to get an exclusive spot in our Mom & Daughter Fit For Summer Challenge Group!

HOW I Grew A Successful Fitness Career from my Own HOME!

Growing A Successful Fitness Career FROM HOME!!!

As I am sitting outside WORKING at home with my kids, I am feeling so blessed that this amazing opportunity was given to me just 2.5 years ago.  But many people think,  "I could never do something like that.." Well, Guess what?! I FELT THE SAME WAY!!

Now I want to SHARE with you how I got to this position in my life as a Home Fitness Coach!

As a nurse, I was working swing shifts, holidays, with 2 kids, ages  1 year and 6 weeks old.  I began my own fitness journey and loved how my body was changing.  I knew there was opportunity to create a career with fitness, but I thought, WHY would I throw away my 4 year Bachelors degree in Nursing to make fitness as a career?? Is that even a career?? That is exactly what I thought! 

Then I realized that as I was sharing my journey with others about how my home fitness programs through BEACHBODY and SHAKEOLOGY has changed my life!  It wasn't just the weight lost, but my increase in energy, decrease in cravings, decrease in bloating, improvements with my digestive system, and being able to create healthy habits that my children can see and one day, follow in my footsteps!  

I felt it was only right to help others feel this same way! As I shared this opportunity with others who were trying to find themselves through diets, diet pills, starvation, and surgeries, I realized I was changing lives 1 by 1! As I was helping others, I didn't realize that I was actually bringing in income to support my family and to help pay the bills!! My goal was to replace what we pay in groceries every month.. then I continued helping others, and it became an income to pay for groceries AND daycare!  

Fitness became a PASSION to me... I honestly can not say 1 negative thing about putting your and your family's health FIRST! 
Its about being the best version of YOU and inspiring others around you!

*2.5 Years later, with consistency and continued passion for what I do, I retired as a nurse and pursued my passion as my full-time Career! 

I will say, I did not start full time!  I put in 30 minutes here and there, shared what I am doing to everyone I knew, invited others to join me on my journey, and most importantly, did NOT give up because others didn't approve, or were annoyed by what I shared! For those who made comments, UN-FRIENDED me (yes even people who were "supposedly my best friends") or talked behind my back, I knew those people were NOT true friends... So WHY would I give up on something to please them and not myself?? Do they really have an impact on my life if they don't support me? Absolutely NOT! I knew I would inspire more than I would bother! And everyone knows, that "unfriend" button is right at the top!

My success for helping others is way more important than what others think of me and I was NOT that person at one time.. I always cared what people thought of me.. that is until the reward of not caring came along! So, yes, we will have struggles, obstacles, just like ANYTHING else in life, but I promise, that reward is so much greater!! 

Now I am staying home with my kids after only 2.5 years of dedicating myself to my fitness career part-time... I can now live life by design! I control me, my business, my hours, my vacations, my office, my income, EVERYTHING!!

I am now looking for 10 people to join me on this journey to success and happiness! It's time to surround yourself with people who lift you up!

If you are you passionate about your health and fitness goals, love helping others, and are looking to provide financial freedom for you  and your family, please fill out the application below for an opportunity that will change your life as a Fitness Coach working from home!

Retired Nurse at 29- Pursue Fitness as My New Career!

Today was seriously one of the biggest days, most scary days, and emotional days I've had in quite a while.. Today was the day I made a HUGE decision to take that leap of faith and make my dreams become reality!! As we all think about what we would love to do for a living... something that we could say "If I could have this job, I wouldn't even need to get paid I love it so much?" kinda job?? Well, I have found that and I am so beyond excited to announce my BIG leap of faith I took today!!

As an ER nurse for 6 years, it was my first job and only job Iv'e had coming right out of nursing school, I LOVE helping people, and working in the ER just gave me that rush... kept my adrenaline going and felt like I was doing something good in life!  My only downfall I can honestly say is difficult working as an ER nurse, or any nurse in the hospital at that, is the scheduling and those holidays, weekends, swing shifts, and having kids does not always go well with this schedule! I know many do it, but they DEAL with it.. I don't want to settle... I want to see my kids grow, be at their events in school and after school if I need to.  Which is WHY I took a leap of faith 2 years ago which started my entire journey with Beachbody!

After having my 2nd son, I was unhappy, uncomfortable in my own skin, and very self conscious. I needed the change.. both physically and mentally.  I wanted to be that confident woman who held her head high, but I became that mom who was embarrassed to even exercise because of everything giggling on me. As I spoke with my cousin who was a Beachbody coach, she asked me if I wanted to join her challenge group and do any workout program of my choice, along with drinking this SHAKEOLOGY drink daily and in the group, I would get daily support and accountability to reach my fitness goals.  At that time, I was skeptical.. I have tried DIETS before... and I am knowledgeable enough to know THEY DONT WORK! BUT... I saw my cousins transformation and she did not diet, she made it a lifestyle.  That is exactly what I wanted!!  I wanted to not only change for myself, but be that role model for my family!  

As I started my own fitness journey, I began seeing great results with using INSANITY and SHAKEOLOGY and people saw what I was doing.  I shared my journey on Facebook, to my family and friends and since I love helping people, I figured, hey, if I can motivate and help another person feel better about themselves, WHY NOT show what Im doing?!?

Literally 2 months later, I became a Beachbody coach myself. I knew what I was doing is not going to be temporary.. I wanted this for the long haul. There is NO giving up here and I wanted to help others more and more! Although being a nurse and in school taking masters classes with 2 young children, I figured if I can squeeze an hour here and there to help someone else, its totally worth it! 

It became so much more than that... It became more than a hobby.  Being a fitness coach and doing this job at home was just another way to keep myself accountable, my kids to see mommy being healthy, and meeting new people and helping them from all over the US and Canada! Pretty amazing stuff!! To make it even better, I don't have to sell a darn thing!! All I did was share what I was doing and what is working for me and my fellow coaches and challengers!! 

Some of the best moments being a coach are those messages saying "Thank you for changing my life."  "Thank you for your post this morning, you motivated me to workout."  and even those messages where their health is improving because they are eating clean, learning new recipes from me, getting support and accountability from me, and that darn SHAKEOLOGY... "is that a miracle drink or what?" I say it is... because I never believed in those drinky shakes... lol... Ive done the GNC... but this is a meal that I have finally gotten everything I need.. All my dense nutrients, super foods, and multivitamins... Oh and NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS!! Yes, its my miracle drink!! Moreso that I can make ice cream and no bake cookies, but thats another story lol!!

Ok, so moving forward... as I continued my journey and helping others as a fitness coach with Beachbody, I just found a passion and love that I never found before with anything else.. I wake up excited to work.. I stay up late to work because sometimes, I can't get enough. Can many people say that about their job? Its addicting to be healthy and help others and when you have that momentum going, you don't want to stop!! 

Last year, 1 year into my coaching career, I was able to make up my nursing income and took a leap of faith and went  Relief as a nurse.  I told myself I would NEVER quit my nursing career-  I went to school way to long to give it up.  So I continued making it work.. Nursing, coaching, kids, wife, ya know, living the life!! Its been an amazing year and my team was able to make our way to the top 1% in the company and come an Elite coach! Pretty impressive from my standpoint with all I had going on!! Building a team of moms, dads, nurses, teachers, etc who love to do what I do is just amazing!! We've made a bond that is like no other! Our extended family I call it!

As this past year went by being a nurse and fitness coach, along with taking on the mommy role, I realized how amazing it was to not have to work all the holidays and weekends, but it was still difficult having to find those few days a month to even schedule in the ER due to my husbands schedule, day care not being open in the evenings and weekends, and we do not have family that lives close enough to help us babysit.  On top of my schedule, I wanted to commit this year to spending more time with my boys... enrolling them in sports and getting them involved in as much as possible! This is MY time to cherish these moments that I missed out when I was working more in the ER as a nurse.  As I said, I want to be that mom who can go into school and bring in snacks, or help with events, and not miss a sporting event.  With my career as a Beachbody coach, I have this freedom!! I have enrolled both boys in gymnastics which are two separate days a week, and thats ok, because I have that flexibility! I can attend church every Sunday and not miss out because I work.  I can go to all my events and trainings for Beachbody to help my team and grow my business!! 

After lots of thinking, praying, and planning, I took my leap of faith and officially am retiring from my Nursing career! Although I said I would never do this, my heart is with my business, my challengers, and my coaches, and I want to provide that time to them, but also continue spending more quality time with my family!  I love being a nurse, but my passion will take me to bigger and better places in life! 

 I am confident in my decision is best for my family and my business.  I am so grateful to have been blessed with the ability to go to school and earn my Bachelor's Degree and School Nurse Certificate, but even more blessed that Beachbody has come into my life and changed it in so many ways! Never in a million years did I imagine retiring as a nurse anytime before the age of 60! lol Now, here I am, retiring from my nursing career 6 years into my career at the age of 29, all because of 2 years of hard work, dedication, and commitment to helping others as a fitness coach! Since coaching and reaching my health and fitness goals, I am now able to pursue my dreams for NPC Figure Competing and am training for my 2nd show! 

You never know what you can do with an opportunity until you take control of it!

I am now looking for 5 men and women who have that passion for fitness, for helping others, and are willing to DREAM BIG, and commit to helping me in ending the trend of obesity and help change lives!!

Fitness Lovers and Busy Moms build a Business with Fitness!

As a busy Momma, Nurse, Wife, and fitness lover who now has reached a huge goal training for NPC Figure Competitions, you would think there is no time left right?! I mean, we know as moms and dads how your kiddos take away most free time, especially getting into sports!  Well, as I started reaching my own health and fitness goals, I found it a priority to keep my health on top... I mean without my health, my kids will not have a mother and that they need!  It is my job to be a role model for them so they can learn those healthy habits young so when its time for them to make their own decisions, hopefully they choose the path they were taught by eating clean, exercising regularly rather than living a sedentary lifestyle which is so easy to pick up nowadays.  

Since I've been keeping my health and fitness a priority, I have found such a passion for this lifestyle. Its not that Im obsessed, but I've become very dedicated and goal oriented and to me, thats a good thing! I will say, I would NOT be in this position if I wouldn't have taken the leap of faith 2 years ago and start helping others while on my own journey!

As a nurse working swing shifts, weekends, and holidays, it becomes hard on your body and your emotions, especially when you start missing out on important events and holidays with your kids and family.  I decided, I need something that will fit my lifestyle more.  I want to be able to be home with my kids, watch them grow, and attend the school and sporting events without needing to switch shifts or call off.  The stress of having to even find a sitter when your spouse works the same shift and daycare is closed is bad enough.   

So my mind was so set on being that "average" nurse and mom who works that busy job and misses events was slowly making me think... "hey, I have been seeing what others do as fitness coaches with Beachbody as I'm working on my own journey, why NOT try it and go all in and see what I can do?"

As my family was totally against me taking a leap of faith and starting this ENTIRE NEW journey without knowing what could happen and risking my career as a nurse, I knew if I didn't, then I would never know my potential and always be just average.   My passion for helping others was so much stronger than that, along with my passion for fitness.  

As I risked my nursing career, I did it... I went part time, and started working part time hours just sharing my Beachbody journey as I was doing the home fitness programs, drinking SHAKEOLOGY daily, and motivating others to live a healthy lifestyle!

As I realized there are ALWAYS people who will need help getting healthy, why not be one of those people to make their own schedule, work from home, but be able to follow these people's journey as you help them? 

Why NOT make my own hours to work?

Why miss another holiday or important event for my kids?

Why NOT be limitless on my income for my family?  I mean, the more people you help, the more free you can be financially?? 

This is where my opportunity is given to YOU!

Since I was given this amazing opportunity to turn my passion for fitness into something so much more, I am so excited and blessed to be able to give this to others who may or may not be looking for a change.... I know starting my journey as a Beachbody coach working from home is allowing me to be the mother I always wanted to be, but also be my own boss, learn about social media, and help others from all over the US and Canada along their journey to success!

Starting Monday, Feb 23rd, I am hosting a 5 day Beachbody Coaching Informational group where my team Forever FIT gives you tons of great information about what we do as coaches, the investment with coaching, the amazing opportunities we have as coaches, and how to get set up with joining us on our team!
