My Overall Goal: Lose Weight

Success Story

Chad Koselke Won $1,000 in August 2009

As a "thirty-something" contractor with long, sometimes strange hours, Chad Koselke ate fast-food at least four to five times a week. All this unhealthy eating and no exercise led to his weighing more than 260 pounds.

"Doritos, donuts, Monster energy drinks, Powerade, Gatorade, anything with sugar, and I drank a lot of pop. Everything was fast and unhealthy."

He always came up with excuses to avoid doing activities with his kids and to get out of work around the house. Craig would rather be lying on the couch instead of doing something physically active.

"'Let's put a movie in, guys. Let's play video games.' Nothing was, 'Hey, let's get up, and let's go outside.' It was sad; it was very sad."

Eventually, frustration in the lack of involvement in his family's life prompted Chad to make a change. He turned to his good friend and Beachbody® Coach—Tommy Mygrant. Chad saw firsthand one day how Beachbody helped Tommy change his life. Chad bumped in to Tommy and almost didn't recognize him.

"I was like, 'Wow, what happened to you?'"

"I'm doing P90X."

"And I was like, 'P90X, I know what you're talking about. I watched the infomercial a million times.'"

"He goes, 'Man, I love it. It's working,' and I go, 'Damn right it's working; I can tell. You look good.'"

Chad was hooked and wanted to try it. Tommy schooled Chad on the importance of nutrition and turned him on to P90X®. He loved the workouts, but it was tough because he was still constantly surrounded by unhealthy food options.

"My biggest thing was eating. I ate whatever, whenever, and I didn't eat healthy.

"This was all in a book; all you had to do was follow it. And I did, and like I said, I lost 12 pounds the first week. And that just drove me to keep following, keep Pushing Play. I love P90X, and I tell everybody about it."

With Tommy's support and guidance, Chad has used P90X to lose 70 pounds and over 23 percent of his body fat. Chad says he now has a "chest of steel" but also realizes he needs to continue eating clean and Pushing Play daily to live a happy, healthy life. For all of his hard work and dedication, Chad is a $1,000 winner in Beachbody's August Million Dollar Body Game. Way to go, Chad!
