Well, I am just getting started, so not sure what to write. I am 44yrs old and married to a beautiful wife and we have two grown chidren. I used to be in pretty good shape, and in my early 30's I was lifting weights and at my best. I went into the Navy at 19 and when I retired I still fit my original dress uniform! Not long after I injured my back moving a piano, it really scared me. Then Well, I am just getting started, so not sure what to write. I am 44yrs old and married to a beautiful wife and we have two grown chidren. I used to be in pretty good shape, and in my early 30's I was lifting weights and at my best. I went into the Navy at 19 and when I retired I still fit my original dress uniform! Not long after I injured my back moving a piano, it really scared me. Then my job changed and I became more sedate. I quit smoking, more then once, and each time put on more weight! (Go figure) Fast forward and I had gained about 70lbs. recently I dropped about 20, then gained another 10....so on and so on..... Anyhow, we will see where this new determination will take me!!! BTW, this Feb. will be 2 years without a smoke!!! By then I will hopefully be without a spare tire as well. Seriously though. I am now at the point where I have High blood pressure, HIgh Cholesterol, and am a borderline diabetic, and am just not willing to give in to a life of pills and more pills....so, if I can keep this foremost in my mind.....

One year ago I was weighing in at 284lbs, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. I had pretty much given up on a long health life, and the once somewhat fit me was a depressing memory. I had, after 30 years, given up smoking. The sad part is I spiraled down to the high weight and sedate lifestyle. Besides, the men in my family don’t live long was my response! I was given meds for depression and figured this is what becomes of my lifestyle.
I did try. One year ago I decided to at least attempt it, so I ordered P90X and started watching my diet. I got the P90X and realized there was no way I could attempt it I was so out of shape. But, I did lose about ten pounds, then gained, then lost, etc….
Last August a friend, my coach, asked me to say a bit about her story for some contest she had entered. I knew her a long time, and I knew she had come a long way in her own transformation, so I said yes. Little did I know she had used the same program that was gathering dust in my closet! When I saw her winning video I again got a burst of hope, but being realistic I decided to slow down and start with P90. Maybe work up to the “X” someday….
Well, someday is here! 90 days! My whole outlook for my future has changed! I have lost 24lbs and 12.5” to date. I am about to start on the program I thought I would never be able to attempt and am actually looking forward to the challenge of it! My wife has joined me in my new life and together we are working at keeping fit and healthy into our golden years! A big motivator for logging on and working out is the possibility of prizes. That is awesome, but I know that I have already won the prize I needed. Thanks to all who have helped me this far, and I look forward to many more years of “Pushing Play”.
Hey Tony! If you ever happen to read this Thank You…..
