Weigh In Day: Feeling great!

It's Weigh In Day!! How did you do? Every Monday we weigh ourselves and take our measurements to track our progress. It's not about the numbers, it's more about making progress.

I didn't love my scale when I started this weight loss journey!! The numbers were way too high! The good news is they have been going down, and I've feeling great!

I would have never told you these numbers or shown you these pictures when I first started, but since they have gone down so much, I'm okay with it. :)


On August 9, 2011 when I had my baby, I was 196 now I'm 136 as of today! 


On Sept. 26 I started working out. This was about six weeks after I had our baby. 


I started using Shakeology in December and I noticed a big difference right away. It really helped with my progress.

Here are my results! 


Start date Sept. 26, 2011:

Weight: 178, now 136
Waist: 39", now 28"
Hips: 42", now 34.5"
Arms: 12", now 10.5"
Thighs: 39", now 32.5"
Body fat: 33%, now 23.4 %


Here are a couple more recent pictures!

I have muscles now! :)

Still working on the 6 Pack, but it's coming!

It's true, some weeks I dread stepping on the scale, but this week wasn't one of those weeks! I did so good on my eating and working out last week. It definitely paid off! I lost another pound and got down to the lowest weight I've gotten so far 139. My first goal was 145, and now I'm trying for 135. So I'm getting closer! Pretty good when you think I was 196 the day I delivered our baby last August 2011! I must be doing something right! :)

A Day in the Life- It's a Skinny New Year!

Post by Shannon

On Dec. 15 I wrote a post called, "I'm Dreaming of A Skinny New Year."  I used one of the skinniest pictures I could find for the post. :) This picture was taken in the summer of 2005 a few years before I had my first baby.

I still use that picture for motivation. It is good to find a photo of yourself or someone you want to look like to motivate you and put it somewhere you can see it each day.

My goal is to get back to 135 (where I was in the picture above). Right now I'm 142.5. I'm getting closer!

This photo was taken last week. I'm so excited that I can fit into these jeans! That was an accomplishment for me!!

I have been on this weight lost journey ever since I had our second daughter in August. My first goal was to get into the 140's (I was in the 190's in Aug.) by February. I'm excited that I reached that goal and was able to have "a skinny new year!" :)

My second goal was to run the Rockin' Roll Half Marathon in Washington D.C. on March 17. I have been training for the race since last October. I was doing great with the training. My last big run was 9.5 miles! I was proud of that!

Unfortunately, I hurt my back... I was really disappointed. I have been so excited to run this race!

I have been going to the chiropractor, icing, walking, taking Omega 3's to reduce the inflammation and taking it easy. I am planning to fly to Washington D.C. on Thursday. My back has been feeling better the past few days so I am hoping to be able to do the race.

My goal right now is to at least walk / run it! I'll keep you posted. Stay tuned for Saturday...

A Day in the Life- Before and After

The results are in! Yesterday was Weigh in Day. I was excited about my results!! 

For those of you who don't know my story, I had a baby at the beginning of August. Six weeks after I had our baby, I started doing Beachbody's Insanity workout. I did that for 3 months (one month extra) and then started doing Beachbody's TurboFire workout and training for a half marathon. I am feeling good, and happy to be fitting into my clothes again!!

Here is my progress:

Weight lost from the day I had our baby at the beginning of Aug. until now:  53.5 pounds (this includes the baby).

Results since I started Beachbody's Insanity program on Sept. 26, 2011:

Total Weight Lost:  35.5 pounds

Inches off my waist:  7.5"

Inches off my hips:  5"

Inches off my arms:  1"

Inches off my thighs:  3"

Fat lost:  8.4%

Here are some before and after photos. I looked a lot worse when I started on Sept. 26, but I didn't take a photo. :) I'm NOT a fan of before photos!!!

I'm so happy I can fit into these jeans!! I bought them on Black Friday, and it seemed like it would take me forever to fit into them!! :)

Vote for Frederick B!

This guy is pretty much amazing! I had to post his story on our blog today.

His name is Mark (Frederick B on the Beachbody site). He lost 44 pounds and went from 27% body fat to 12% after doing P90X. The most amazing part is that he did this program after having hip replacement surgery!

He already won $1,000 in the monthly Beachbody challenge, and now he is a finalist in the quarterly Beachbody Challenge. He needs lots of votes to win the quarterly competition ($5,000)! Let's help him! The best part is he is planning to donate the $5,000 to the Mid Atlantic Make-A-Wish Foundation! In the past 25 years he has raised over $40,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation through their triathlon in Bethany Beach, DE. He wants to help children who are sick, and make their dreams come true.

A Day in the Life- Sometimes it's hard

Post by Shannon


I don't think weight loss is easy. For some people it is, but for me it's not. I think it takes consistency, effort and dedication.

I didn't lose weight because I have good genes or I am lucky. I worked hard at it every day, and it gradually came off. I watched what I ate, exercised every day, and didn't give up; even when it was hard.

I had a baby in August and wanted to lose my baby weight as fast as I could. I wanted to lose weight to have energy and feel good about myself again. I wanted to do this to be the best wife and mom I could be. I also want to be able to run a half marathon in March. It wasn't so much about being skinny, but being healthy and fit.

The first picture on 10-15-11 was about two months after our baby was born. The second one taken in January was just under five months after she was born.

Since 1-4, I have lost a little more weight. Here are my stats so far.

Totals weight lost since our baby was born in August:  44 lbs. (this includes the baby and water weight)

Totals since I started the Beachbody challenge at the end of Sept.:

Weight lost - 27 lbs.
Inches off my waist:  6.5"
Inches off my hips:  4"
Inches of my arm:  1"
Inches off my legs:  3"
Body fat lost:  4.3%

I like Beachbody programs because I don't have a lot of time to go to the gym. They give you a meal plan with each workout program. This helped me a lot. It gave me guidelines on which exercises to do and what to eat. It helped speed my weight loss along. I have been losing between 1-3 pounds per week since I started.

I didn't plan on being a Beachbody coach or selling these programs when I started. As I learned more about Beachbody and saw how it changed my life, I wanted to help others do the same.

I love helping people better their lives. I love motivating people and cheering them on! I'm excited to help others on their journey to becoming healthy and fit!

It's Weigh in Day!

Post by Shannon


Every Monday is weigh in day for the GolladayFit team. They say when you weigh yourself regularly, you are more likely to keep the weight off. So every Monday is weigh in day!

We will reveal the results of how much weight our challenge groups lost later today! We've had a P90X, P90X2 and an Insanity group going since Jan. 2 and a Hip Hop Abs group going since Jan. 9. Today another Insanity group is starting. It's been fun to watch everyone cheer each other on and see their progress!

Stay tuned for the results later today!

How to Lose 30 Pounds and Keep it Off!

The National Weight Control Registry did a study of people who lost 30 pounds or more and kept it off...

Those people did three things:

1. Worked out at home
2. Weighed themselves regularly
3. Ate breakfast

Let's get going everyone!

We are 14 days into the New Year. If you haven't started a plan to help you with your exercise and healthy eating, now is the time to start!

My Weight Loss Story

Post by Shannon

This is me. This is my actual weight loss progress from October 15, 2011 to January 4, 2012. I wish I had a picture from the day I started Beachbody on September 26, but to be honest, I didn't really want to take a photo of myself at that time. I felt embarrassed of my weight. 

I had a baby at the beginning of August 2011 via c-section. Most of my pictures from the beginning of August to this photo on October 15 have me holding a baby to cover my stomach. I didn't feel good about how I looked at all. 

This was my second c-section. Last time I had a baby, I had about 60 pounds to lose (I gained 15 in my first year of marriage and 45 during my pregnancy). It took me just over a year to lose it. This time I was sure I wouldn't gain as much, but I ended up gaining about 56 (6 before I got pregnant and 50 during pregnancy).

I am very happy with my progress so far, and I owe it all to the Insanity workout and Shakeology.

Total weight lost so far- 42 pounds since I had my baby in August and 25 pounds since I started the Beachbody program on Sept. 26.

Total body fat lost:  3.7%

Inches Lost since Sept. 26:

-6 in. off my waist

-4 in. off my hips
-2 in. off my legs

I have noticed the biggest difference in the last month since I started drinking a Shakeology drink every day. I didn't think it would make much of a difference, but it really has. 

In the last month I lost 7 pounds from Dec. 5 to Jan. 2, and that's the hardest time of the year to lose weight! It was because I was drinking Shakeology. I've noticed a huge difference, and I feel great. I have more energy, my hair and nails feel stronger and my sugar cravings have gone way down. I highly recommend it. I really like the chocolate flavor. I'm not a big fan of the greenberry one, but my husband, Patrick, is. 

Click on this link if you'd like to learn more or order Shakeology.

If you order Home Direct, you can get free shipping. The best part is having a money back guarantee, even if you use the whole bag. I think that's awesome. 

I love promoting Beachbody because I use their products and love them. They really work. 

So that's my story. I love Beachbody. It's helped me so much on my weight loss goals, and that's why I want to help other reach theirs!

Have a great weekend!
