From 262 lbs. to super fit grandma
“I will stay on this journey as long as I can, because I have a lot of life left to live.”
—Becky B.
Former Independent BODi Partner
Becky’s story
At 262 lbs., Becky was struggling, feeling old, and knew she needed to lose weight — but never really thought of herself as obese. In some ways, she was healthier than ever. She was, after all, a cancer survivor who, at one point, had been given only 18 months to live.
With her new lease on life, she dove into celebrating with a little more food than she intended— the pounds adding up on her until she was no longer living the life she imagined.
Retired with a husband and five grandchildren she adores, Becky thought, "What am I doing? This is not how I want to live.”
"Every time I got the chance, I was lying down," she recalls. "My grandchildren are outside playing and I'm not out there with them. I would make excuses to not go to the ball game because I was too tired."
Becky committed to BODi and lost an incredible 93 lbs. In just over 3 years, she regained her energy and turned around her health with a total step-by-step solution from BODi.
A friend's life-changing call for action
Before Becky started with BODi, she had begun to feel unwell. Her doctors diagnosed her with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and prediabetes.**
It wasn’t cancer this time, but it was another wakeup call. “I knew if I wanted to live and see my grandbabies grow up, I had to get on a healthy journey,” says Becky.
She wanted to improve her quality of life, so that she could feel good and stay as active as possible for as long as possible.
While searching for a solution, Becky’s high school friend reached out, inviting Becky to try BODi. "She gave me hope for the future.”
Unlike the countless diets Becky had attempted before, BODi offered something different: a clear, sustainable approach to eating and exercise that outlined exactly what she needed to do each day.
There was no other app she knew of that provided this kind of holistic approach, with step-by-step directions.
Not only did BODi eliminate the usual guesswork of what to do, it promised fast results, without having to follow impossible workouts or restrictive food plans.
The power of Shakeology
The first crucial step in her BODi regimen: Making sure her body was properly nourished, so that she could feel her best, starting on day one.
Shakeology became her daily nutritional foundation, providing essential nutrients from superfoods while helping curb hunger and cravings. It also provided the healthy energy she needed to help fuel her new fitness journey.*
"[Shakeology] helped my transformation by giving me the nutrients and vitamins that I need to succeed," Becky says.
Building a foundation through nutrition
Becky's next step with BODi’s total-solution plan: Focusing on the foods she put on her plate.
Becky clicked with 2B Mindset, one of BODi's two healthy eating plans, that emphasizes delicious, vegetable-rich meals, proper hydration, and building a healthy relationship with food. She loved 2B Mindset’s flexibility and found meal-prepping a breeze.
"It was very easy to follow, and I never felt deprived or starving," she explains. “It was truly a mindset change!”
There were some times, she says, when she would eat the “wrong thing,” but found it easy to get back on track the next day.
"I love veggies and cannot get enough water now. It truly has changed my life for the better and it is a plan I can do for the rest of my life,” she says enthusiastically.
Getting fit one low-impact step at a time
To achieve the healthy results she wanted, Becky wanted to start moving her body with BODi’s step-by-step fitness programs. Still, she felt nervous.
"Thirteen years after chemo, I thought I was weak, and I had other health problems, so I was reluctant to start exercising," Becky admits.**
Her friend assured her that BODi's programs could meet her where she was, with modifications for every fitness level.
So, as the pounds began to drop, Becky found the confidence to try BODi's fitness programs, starting with 21 Day Fix. And just as her friend had promised, the program's modifier options allowed Becky to do the workouts at her own level and pace.
This turned out to be the key that unlocked Becky's fitness transformation — physically and emotionally.
Instead of feeling discouraged when she couldn't keep up with the trainer, she learned to celebrate what her body could do.
Success with one program led to another, and soon she was exploring many of BODi’s low-impact fitness programs, like Barre Blend, 3 Week Yoga Retreat, and 4 Weeks for Every Body.
“My exercise routine has definitely increased my energy levels,” says Becky, whose newfound strength and endurance have been a big help in daily life. "The thing I love the most is I am now confident and happy with the way my new clothes look on me!”
Finding strength in community
Throughout her success journey, Becky joined monthly accountability groups. They gave her the community support that had been missing from her previous attempts at weight loss.
"It was so helpful with recipe ideas, exercise planning, meal prep... and the most important thing for me was the accountability it gave each of us. We were a team working together with the same goal in mind, encouraging each other."
93 lbs. later, Becky's transformation has touched every aspect of her life. She's no longer prediabetic, and her energy levels have soared. Her husband of 42 years playfully tells people he needs to "really watch it now because he has a hot wife" — a comment that still makes her feel wonderful.
The unexpected gift
But the true test of her health transformation was unexpected. Five months after reaching her goals, Becky and her husband gained custody of their two youngest grandchildren, ages 8 and 4.
Instead of being overwhelmed by the physical demands of raising two young boys, Becky found herself ready for the challenge. "I believe God put BODi in my life when he did so I would be healthy, have more energy, and be able to handle what life gave me," she reflects.
Today, you won't find Becky making excuses to skip their baseball games. Instead, she's in the bleachers for every one of them, powered by a combination of Shakeology, 2B Mindset, and BODi fitness programs. She feels alive in a way she never has before, because she’s chosen to put her health first.
"I have a lot of life left to live. And I will not miss another ball game, because you never know if that's going to be the one where they hit the Grand Slam."
