I am now enjoying the fruits of my 90+ days of my power90 program
experiencing a return to the weight I was when I was younger with energy and
strength but it wasn't always that way.

When I was in my thirties, I was not exactly what you would
call super fit. Although I was slender, I really did not
have a strong physique. When I made my forties, I decided to do something
to help me with my physical self esteem, I
entered a martial arts school and worked hard for 5 years
eventually gaining first degree black belt in Tang soo do. I gained weight
during this training and although it was the best martial arts training from a
martail arts expert from the Korean temples, I still did not fully understand
the relationship of diet and fat burning to all of the training I had received. At
the time I was 177 at the completion of the train, but 15 punds heavier than I
really should have been. But soon after passing my test, I had
to leave the area where I had been training because of my
job. Since I had such high quality training, I was unable to find similar caliber
training that I had. The bad eating habits I picked up took off and I was up
over 205 pounds! A couple of contracting desk jobs added to the weight,
frustration, and concern about my overall health followed. I gained allot of
weight, + 30 pounds
I was feeling very low about myself, getting old and looking it. Not feeling
good about myself or how I looked. I realized that I can only be helpful to
others
and myself if I am strong and fit. I was concerned it was too late. Too many
pounds and years. I
decided to look into diet programs but none ever worked. I tried eating lees
but ended up gaining even more weight. I
know I needed help from someone who knew what to do. The training had to
work. My self esteem was very low, hiding in larger and larger clothes
ignoring the growing stomach. I was fading fast. My health was suffering. I
started to have knee problems, I knew it was from the weight. I was heavy
and gaining more. I lost interest in even biking becuase I could not see
results in my weight even after biking miles and miles. I had hernia surgery
and that contributed to the decline and increase in weight gain, fearing to
work out. I started suffering from edema throughout my body, which was
unheard of for me. I was looking old and heavy. I felt merserable
about myself, feeling like the world was leaving me behind.
Everything I did led to an out of breath condition. Only a slow walk kept from
from getting out of breath. I
was in trouble and I needed help. My wife even resorted to prayer to help. I
saw pictures of me with a double chin and a stomach that made me look
pregant and fat. It was this shock that told me I better do something fast. At
least try. I saw a P90X commercial and started to look into the programs,
becuase I saw hope for me personally as I read more about others who had
amazing transformations. I
took the P90x test and although I couldn't meet all the minimums, I was close
BUT huffing and puffing pretty severely. I then was introduced to the P90
series
and I saw a clear plan ahead. Start with the P90, see how it goes. I was moved
by the personal stories and results
of others and thought I had nothing to lose by trying (except the low self
esteem and allot of weight of course). After I had a couple of questions
answered by customer service, I started with the P90 series with the Fat
Burning 6 day express and when I saw esults after those 6 days, I knew I was
on the way! 80 days later I am now 29 pounds lighter, getting back into
shape and in medium clothes and homing in on small! I can not beging to tell
you the feeling of knowing I am on the way to a great shape and the results
have been remarkable. Friends and my wife now see me as a fitness leader.
People who knew me before want to know about what I did and want me to
share my story. My eyesight has actually improved and my doctor cannot
believe the changes from my last pre hernia visit. The nursing assistants
asking me what did I do. I got a clean bill of health from the Doc with tests
that came back with flying colors I am feeling so much better about myself
and its showing. My wife is happier and beginning to look at herself in the
mirror differently. With 6 1/2 inches gone
from my belly, I was forced to get a new wardrobe!I even had to move beyond
the baggy in the work out clothes I had to purchase at the beginning of the
program!

By the grace of God, your hard work at Beachbody, I am now on the right
track again, with quality work outs that are perfect for my real
transformation. Thank you guys for the products and the plan and a place to
make it happen. My wife and friends tell me how much better I look
and my energy is stronger.
I am truely grateful to God and the Beachbody folks that I am regaining years
and so is my wife. Thank you
guys!
