Is Beachbody a Pyramid Scheme?

NO!! No, Beachbody is not a pyramid scheme.

First of all, pyramid schemes are illegal.

There are probably a couple of company's that you can name right now, that you think are a pyramid scheme and illegal, but really they arent.

Beachbody is actually called Network Marketing, or MLM (Multi Level Marketing).

A pyramid scheme is when you keep adding people to your "team" just to make money and your aren't receiving product in exchange.
With Beachbody there IS an exchange for the money you are giving them. You give them money and you will receive the Shakeology you ordered or the P90x DVD you ordered.

I make NO money from adding coaches to my team. I could add 50 coaches to my team and not make a dime. The only time I will make money off coaches signing up under me, is when I help those coaches succeed.

This is probably what you think about when you think of a pyramid scheme right?!

I am the CEO of my own business. I dont have people telling me when I need to work, and what I am doing wrong. I DECIDE.

Okay, so now  you might be thinking.. well then why do you sign people/coaches under you? Why is Beahcbody making it look like a pyramid scheme? Why cant Beachbody just have a place where all the coaches sign up and you dont have to sign up under someone.

Heres why: A LONGGGG time ago, the founders of Beachbody (Carl Daikeler and Jon Congdon) started the business but they didnt want to advertise the product, they wanted others to sell the product who had used it and had gotten REAL results. Daikeler and Congdon wanted the results to speak for themselves. Therefore, coaches came about. These "coaches" had used the products and had gotten real results from the product, they were sharing their weight loss journey with other people who then became interested and wanted to also try the product.

When you sign up to become a coach, it doesn't mean that the coach higher than you will make more money than you or tell you what to do. That coach above you is showing you everything that you should be doing and helping you get started with your own business, they act as a MENTOR to you, not boss.
As far as the coach above you makes more money than you, that is completely FALSE. You are your own boss, you decide how much work and effort you will put into this business. If you work harder than the coach above you and you are more consistent, you can make more money than your upline coach. There are many coaches in Beachbody who pass their upline coaches income because they are more dedicated to helping people reach results.

Not that this business is a race, but my point is that you are not told who much you can make, you dont have a boss down your throat all day watching your move and making sure you are helping (X) number of people. You decide.

21 Day Fix Transformation

I'm freaking out as I write this post. I am so nervous to share this with everyone. So bare with me as I write this.

I completed one of Beachbody's workout programs called the 21 Day Fix. It was a long 21 days I must say. Summer is a hard time to stick to clean eating with cookouts, bonfires, carnivals/fairs, birthdays, etc. But that's just an excuse not to do the program because no matter what season you choose to do a program you are going to constantly be faced with holidays, birthdays, goodies and treats. I decided when starting this program that there would never be a perfect time to do this program, so I might as well start it and finish and deal with all the temptations! And holy crap I did, I turned down funnel cake, pizza, chicken wing dip, pasta.. I turned down a lot to be able to finish this program and get the results that I was looking for.

So I showed up everyday, did my workouts and stuck to the meal plans.

I am about to get really personal... Once I finished the 21 day fix, I became super bloated (female problems), I knew that if I took an after picture then it wouldn't be an accurate representation of my progress and hard work. So I let time pass and a few days ago I woke up feeling light and back to my normal self. No one was home at my house to take my after photos, so I took it upon myself to take one.

Here are all my before photos:

And here are 2 of my after photos.

And I just want to point out that there is ab definition! HECK yeah, I worked my butt off to get that one ab to pop out! 

Here is a comparison of my before and after photo:

I'm sure you are all wondering about how much weight I lost... this is going to be hard for some people to hear because all they want to hear is that the number on the scale went down. Well guess what?!?!?!?

My first week I lost one pound. I actually took it pretty hard. I thought what the heck. I have done nothing wrong and I have only lost a pound? Others were losing 4-7 pound in the first week. But I kept on with the program, I figured one pound lost was better than nothing. Week 2 ended, I weighed myself again.. and I had gained a pound, bringing me back to my original weight (120 pounds). Week 3 ended and I remained the same weight, 120 pounds. I know that this might sound discouraging to some because I didn't really lose any weight while doing the program, but I gained muscle, that one pound that I went up was muscle, it might be that little ab that decided to pop out! haha

This program has taught me so much about portion control, I was over eating in certain areas and under eating in other areas. Since I used to containers daily and would dump them onto my plate I got a visual idea of how much I should be eating of each food. I am constantly eyeing my food to see if it will fit and be "Fix" approved! It has completely changed my life. 

I really don't know if I would have been able to complete the program if I wasn't drinking Shakeology. I literally had a "cheat" meal everyday. When other people needed to have another meal of chicken--I got to have chocolate, when people were eating hard boiled eggs--I was having my Shakeology. It seemed like a "cheat" meal to me because I was drinking my chocolate Shakeology with almond butter (which tastes like a Reese's Cup)!!! YUM!!!
