I hate parties.
And by parties, I mean, things you get invited to, where you are expected to spend money. Mary Kay (although I LOVE some of the product, I won't go to a party to get it), Pampered Chef, Scentsy, Jewelry, nail stuff, photobooks, etc... The list goes on and on for parties for Network Marketing companies. I swore years ago I would NEVER get involved with a network marketing company. Now, the company model isn't terrible, but if I want something, I don't want to have to go to a party to get it, if I have to wait, I'd rather go to the store.
When I was first introduced to Beachbody I had NO clue what it even was. Then my coach mentioned P90X... Yeah, I knew what P90X was, I had even attempted it a few times(SO not for me!) But running wasn't working with my weight loss anymore like it always had in the past, and just because I was now in my 30's didn't mean I was going to let myself go and just start gaining weight. I was determined to do SOMETHING about it. When I first started talking with the person who ended up becoming my coach, I was interested in the program, and I liked the Challenge groups she did. I needed something that was going to keep me going, and I thought that her Challenge group was a good fit; but then she mentioned Shakeology. Yeah, I don't do Shakes, either. And I told her that. But then she send me a link about Shakeology. And it was completely different then what I thought it was. It wasn't just a low calorie shake, it was a Meal Replacement designed to help control cravings, assist in weight loss, increase your energy and feel healthier, and improve your digestion and regularity. I figured I would try it out for a month, and then decide if I it was something I wanted to continue on with.
So I ordered in August of 2013. I got the Tropical Strawberry Vegan, and I thought it was disgusting. It had a VERY chalky taste that I couldn't keep drinking it, I sent it back in to the company after 5 days, because they have an amazing 30 day - bottom of the bag guarantee. So since I didn't love it, I sent it back in for the regular Chocolate. It came and I still hated it. But I just mixed it with water at first. So I tried it again, this time with almond milk. It was better, but I hated how thick it made it with the almond milk, so I tried Coconut milk and BINGO, LOVED it. And I've never turned back from it.
I ended up losing 15 lbs with T25 and Shakeology BUT, I also lost inches, over 25 inches, and I went down 2 pant sizes.
So I decided to pay it forward and become a coach as well, because I've learned SO much in my journey that I want to share what I've learned and what worked for me. So yes, I did end up joining a network marketing company, but I don't do parties. ;)
