I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. I was never a standout in any specific sport, even though most people assumed I was athletic due to my height and size. I always dreamed of having an athletic physique, but I was never able to achieve this goal. After years of working out in the gym with weightlifting, swimming, and running on the treadmill, I still didn’t reach my goals and I didn’t see the body in the mirror I desired. Even after three years of active duty in the military, I didn’t reach my fitness goals. All the running of countless miles and endless push-ups and sit-ups didn’t strip the layers of stubborn fat that covered the muscle of my upper body. After years of struggle I grew aggravated and discouraged.

In January of 2009 my height was 6 feet, 5 inches, and my weight had swelled to 300 pounds. I had a herniated disc, knee pain, and I had a 44.5 inch waist. I was tired all the time and my immune system was weak; I was sick every couple of weeks. My body and my health were deteriorating at the tender age of 34.

In May of 2009 I saw for the first time the P90X infomercial and I was drawn into the product right away. I was fascinated with the concept of muscle confusion and curious to see if this would work for me. When I saw the before and after photos of people who did the program I said to myself, “I can do that.” A few weeks after seeing the infomercial I purchased my first Beachbody product -- P90X.

On June 1, 2009 I started my P90X journey and I haven’t stopped yet. So far, I’ve lost 50 pounds and lost 7.5 inches off my waist. I am closer to my fitness goals than I’ve ever been in my life and I love the program.

Beachbody has become my fitness home, and I want to share my experience with others and motivate people to take the first step of reaching their fitness goals and staying excited and motivated with Beachbody products.
