I'm a 29-year old IT tech in Jackson, NJ. I have a mother and three aunts with diabetes, so my weight loss has centered around outrunning a serious disease.
I started on Power 90 in May 2004, went two rounds of that (although I never quite went the full 90 days), did my own thing in a gym for a while until I got deathly bored, and did Turbo Jam in 2006.

I've also done a round of ChaLEAN Extreme late last year (though I never finished), and have copies of P90X (which I never did due to space restrictions) and Turbofire.
While I'm happy with the number on the scale, I'm missing muscle, and I'm not leaving this community until I have it!

All my life I was the fat one in my family. I had an athletic attitude for my size, but the number of minor injuries I sustained in hockey and basketball thanks to my weight eventually put that to a halt. I was 300 pounds when I entered high school, 350 pounds when I graduated, and continued to gain after that.
I had a realization in July of 2006. I was 377lbs with a 62" waistline. I had three aunts on my father's side with diabetes, and my mother was already suffering harshly as an overweight diabetic. Seeing her condition, I knew I had two choices: Join her in several years as a diabetic, or shape up and outrun the disease to live the life I needed.
I started with my best friend with Tony Horton's Power 90. My first run through, I lost 44 pounds in three months. Afterwards changing my eating habits and getting enough exercise, including a second, 50-day run of P90 in January 2006 helped me lose 110 pounds.
I continued to lose weight steadily after that at a regular gym until I hit a wall in July of 2006 at 268 pounds. I hadn't lost weight in months and my motivation was seriously drying up. I couldn't stand a treadmill anymore!
After a month of deliberation on whether it was a good "Man's" workout, I took a chance on Turbo Jam. The results could not have been better!
Since July I've lost 25 pounds several inches off of my waist, hips, arms and thighs, and more importantly have never had more muscle tone! Working out with Chalene has never been more fun! Trust me, it works on men every bit as well as it does on women!
Right now I'm flying high at 243 pounds and a 39" waistline, an overall loss of 134 pounds and 22 inches off of my waist. I still have pounds to lose, but I'm thrilled as to my progress thus far!
You'll hear of another story once I hit my goal weight of 210-220 pounds. Until then, I'm going to keep Pushing Play!
