Meet Cristie Tibbets!

Cristie Tibbetts Lost 20 Pounds with T25 and Shakeology!!!

Meet Cristie!

1. Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?

As a nationally ranked skier in my teens I was in pretty good shape, but as strong as I was I was never happy with my body. I lost a ton of weight in college, but not in a healthy way and soon the pounds came creeping back. I have always struggled with weight - as a child I can remember putting myself on a diet at the age of 10 and I always considered myself a chubby and therefore, not cute.

I became a single mom 5 years ago and although I didn't gain a ton of weight during my pregnancy I did start to emotionally eat after giving birth. I was tired, lonely and not taking care of myself. Every bit of myself went to taking care of my baby and working.

2. What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?

Fast forward to 2013. I was looking at pictures of my son's 4th birthday and I couldn't believe what I was looking at. I was overweight and not happy. It was at the moment that I knew I had to make a change.

3. What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Your Coach help you overcome that challenge?

I knew about beachbody programs, mostly from watching the ads on TV. T25 was something that interested me, but it wasn't until you, Rachael, convinced me to join your challenge group. I ended up doing 2 rounds of T25 and was very impressed with the results. I became very internally motivated to change and started to feel better inside - both mind and body. I became driven again, but not for the purpose of competing - this time it is all about health.

4. What in particular did you like about the program you chose?

I felt that the challenge group helped keep me stay accountable and I loved reading everyone's success stories and all the great inspirational posts.

5. Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?

I have lost a total of 20 plus pounds and have more energy than ever. I have lost inches around my stomach and hips.

6. How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?

 I would totally recommend T25 to anyone, but especially those that don't think they have enough time in the day to exercise. Excuses are for those that are afraid to try. I will continue my journey and I am excited for whatever is next to come.

I feel amazing and I know my son has a super rad mom to look up to.

5 Health Benefits of an Apple

1. Benefit: Nutrition, straight up.

Packing in quite a bit of soluble fiber (4 grams per medium apple) for a modest amount of calories (95) makes apples a filling, sweet snack. Plus, a medium apple counts as 1 cup of fruit, so after eating one you’re well on your way to meeting your daily fruit quota (around 2 cups for adults on a 2,000-calorie diet). They also are a good source of immune-boosting vitamin C (providing 14% of the Daily Value).

2. Weight Loss

Apples satisfy hunger for few calories so it’s not surprising that they can be part of a healthy diet that promotes weight loss. And in a recent study, dried apples also helped participants lose some weight. Women who ate a cup of dried apples daily for a year lost some weight and lowered their cholesterol and heart disease markers. Florida State University researchers think apples’ antioxidants and pectin (a type of fiber) are responsible for the benefits—and think that fresh apples would be even more effective.

3. Heart Health

The Florida State study is not the only one to link apple consumption to heart health. Last year, the Iowa Women’s Health Study reported that, among the 34,000-plus women it’s been tracking for nearly 20 years, apples were associated with a lower risk of death from both coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease. Some years earlier, Finnish researchers studying dietary data collected over 28 years from 9,208 men and women found that frequent apple eaters had the lowest risk of suffering strokes compared with nonapple eaters. Experts attribute the heart-healthy benefits to antioxidant compounds found in apples, which help prevent LDL cholesterol from oxidizing and inhibit inflammation. Plus, the soluble fiber in apples has also been shown to lower cholesterol levels.

4. Protect Against Metabolic Syndrome

People who eat apples may be less likely to suffer from metabolic syndrome, a cluster of symptoms linked to an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes. Joyce Hendley reported in EatingWell Magazine that researchers who analyzed National Health and Nutrition Examination Study (NHANES) data, a survey of eating and health habits, found that people who had eaten apples in any form over the past day were 27 percent less likely to have symptoms of metabolic syndrome than those who didn’t. The apple eaters also had lower levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation whose presence in the blood suggests an increased risk for heart disease and diabetes.

5. Exercise Extender

Eating an apple before you work out may boost your exercise endurance. Apples deliver an antioxidant called quercetin, which aids endurance by making oxygen more available to the lungs. One study showed that quercetin—when taken in supplement form—helped people bike longer.
