Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body? * I had always been active. But when I got pregnant everything stopped. For some reason I was scared I’d hurt the baby if I worked out to much. So I just didn’t workout. I’d go for short walks but thats about it. I ended up gaining 80 lbs. during my pregnancy and was the biggest I had ever been in my life. I was depressed and hated how I looked. I couldn’t really do anything without getting out of breath. I would walk and my knees would hurt and I would sweat so much just doing little things. I ate whatever I wanted and at all times of the night and day. I guess I kinda felt like the weight was ok since I was pregnant. But once I had my son I quickly realized that I had a huge mess on my hands with all of this weight.
What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey? * I had my son a few months before and we had some friends coming over for a get together at our house. I thought I’d try this new workout video I got…. It was a WALKING video. And so I started it and it was one of the hardest things, just to do a walking video. I couldn’t even complete it. I was sweating so bad and felt like total crap. I was so mad that I let myself get this way and mad that I didn’t take care of myself when I was pregnant. So I started crying to my husband and said I’ve got to change and get this weight off. I can’t wear any of my clothes and what I did wear I didn’t think looked good. I knew I had to do something, so I decided to start the P90X. Even if I couldn’t finish it I would try.
What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody® help you overcome that challenge? * After having my son in May of 2009 I decided this is enough and I had to figure out a way to get this weight off. I saw the infomercial for P90X and knew that was the only program that was honestly gonna give me my body back. I knew there was no short cut for weight loss and I just had to put in the hard work. What got me to purchase the program was a woman on there in a Pink Bikini saying that she was a Mom and able to workout at home. It’s crazy because I can still remember her before and after pictures in my mind. She made a huge impression on me. I remember wanting to be like her because she looked so happy. And I felt like total crap about myself. I had never been this much over weight and I was depressed about it. I purchased P90X. And I made a choice to change. So I got the P90X videos in the mail and I was so excited to start it. Beachbody taught me to Eat Right and modify workouts until I can master them. Beachbody has truly changed my life.
Why did you choose this particular program? * I chose P90X because it seemed like people had the best results and I wanted to get the BEST RESULTS. I remember seeing a woman in a Pink bikini on the infomercial saying she was a mom and how she was able to transform her body all while working out at home and still taking care of her kids. It’s funny because I can still see that woman and what she was wearing in her before and after pictures in my mind. She made a huge impact on me buying the videos.
What in particular did you like about the program you chose? * I loved that it was something different everyday. Not the same workout that you do day in day out. It was different and I liked that. I liked using the weights since I had not done anything in almost a year and gained 80 lbs. I knew I needed to build muscle. I liked the push ups. I had NEVER done more than 2 push ups back to back in my life. I liked that it came with resistance bands and nutrition guide. Since I had been eating so much fast food and processed foods it’s almost like I had forgotten to cook healthy meals. Honestly when I ate bad it’s like my mind was gone and I didn’t know what to do to get back on track. So the nutrition really helped me. I remember cooking the Lemon Chicken and thinking WOW this isn’t bad at all. I CAN DO THIS. 🙂
Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of? * I used P90X and ChaLean Extreme during the course of my weight loss. I built so much lean muscle mass that I NEVER had before. I have never had biceps, abs or been able to do more than 2 push ups in a row. I have all of that now. Plus I have a metabolism that burns like crazy from eating every 2.5-3 hours and going by the nutrition guide sent with the programs. I’m just proud that I stuck with it and got those 80 lbs. off that I had gained during my pregnancy. Honestly I didn’t give myself any other choice but to get those pounds off. I think anyone will be successful if they have the proper mindset. Our minds are our most powerful tool.
How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program? * I am now a Team Beachbody Coach. I started a Facebook Fan Page called Goodbye Fat Hello Muscle and it now has over 20,000 followers. I am helping Women and Men all over the World. And Its all because I decided to workout with P90X. I know that without Beachbody NONE of this would be possible.
We are proud of you Kenna for all of your accomplishments. Keep inspiring people to change their lives. You have an amazing Beachbody transformation and you should be proud to share it with people!

How did her breasts get bigger? She lost weight but she now has bigger breasts.
She has implants now.
She looked a lot better before.. Overdone the weight loss and the fake boobs make it even worse 🙁
The great thing about one’s tranformation is not what others think but how the individual feels about themselves.
Love the fake after pic.
Her skin got darker too and she lost the moles on her belly and chest…super fake after pic.
Y’all are so rude!!! You are just jealous! It took a lot of hard work to get the 80 lbs off. She looks amazing! How can anyone say she looks better before? Is that what you look like??? Her breasts were probably lower after having a baby so she had a lift. If she was still the before, you would criticize her for doing nothing! Give her a break! You go, girl!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
