Keeping the world safe from Imported plumbing. Grew up on the shores of Lake Mahopac in NY. Swimming, snorkeling, sailing, regular & Ice fishing. But then something happened. Life. I got fat and Lazy. Today however, and thanks to this program, I have a renewed interest in all the things I used to do. I'm sure my snowboarding will be better than ever. Several weeks ago I took a mountain bike out for a spin and wound up whimpering my way home when I couldn't make it up the first large incline. I hit the P90X hard and last Sunday took every mountain hill and a 12 mile ride. Man did I feel good.

My name is Richard Porter turning 46 this November. I haven't exercised since gym class 1978. I've done plenty of manual labor and was always very physical but never exercised.At some point during this year I began to feel uncomfortable with my ability to "Keep Up".I was becoming Lazy, a real couch potato.I think my self examination settled into a real issue after seeing some of these fitness programs on the TV (As viewed from the couch).I decided a change was in order.So that's what I did.Put in a Order to Beachbody for P90x.I already had a Very Dusty pull up bar and only focused on the tapes.After reading the brochures and viewing the dvd's (from the couch) (While smoking) After the above, I put in a order for the Peak health, the Protein Bars and the recovery drink and along the way, some Whey powder.In May I geared up for a June 1st start which I stuck to.Then low & behold a August 23rd pool party loomed in the future. I went out food shopping and spent nearly $200.00 on all the healthy food in the Fat Shredder Plan (most of which went towards the seasonings, I didn't have any) and began preparing my first weeks meals (I didn't realize how much fun it is to actually cook). I stuck to the workouts as best I could. But I heard Tony say once..your muscles recover/grow during Rest.So I kind of went with that and did not beat myself for taking a few days off when I hurt to much.I stuck with the meals and actually enjoyed the whole program. After a week I was looking at food I used to eat with a cringe.No Way I was putting that stuff in my system.In the end I was very very happy. I lost 20 pounds and suffered through countless praises from my friends and family. The most shocking was the surprise during my physical on Sept 15th. My Doctor freaked out. He was grinning ear to ear the entire visit. He was so happy and excited to see the change. Me Too. October 1st I have a new goal. And that is to stop smoking. I've been telling on myself in the message boards and the support to stop is amazing.Unknowingly, I entered a Fit for Life style of living. My dedication to being fit, being a member of the community and the friendships that are growing along the way have given me an entirely new outlook on living life to it's fullest and in the healthiest way possible. Thank you Beach Body. Oh I forgot to mention, After the pool party my friend was hounding me for my secret. He just purchased P90X for he & his wife. A new buddy to work out with. Thanks Again, Richie P.
