My name is Wes and I am 28 years old. In March of 2008 I weighed 291 pounds and was unhappy with my health, belly, and overall physique. I am pretty tall at 6'6 so I spread my weight around, but that’s just it. I was pretty big all the way around...(no pun intended).

I decided then to make a change in my fitness level so after a few buddies prodded me a bit I signed up to run a marathon (without even knowing a marathon was a distance-26.2 miles...ouch). To make a long story short in March of 2008 I started training, or more accurately I started running 4 days a week. I realized rather quickly if I had a solid plan that I trusted laid out on paper I would follow it if I saw results and got to highlight the miles off the schedule at the end of a day. I trained diligently and honestly really learned to enjoy running. I just got done running the Disney World Marathon on 1.11.09. I went from not being able to complete a mile to running 26.2 in 5 hours and 16 minutes.

I didn't end up completing my marathon in my goal time of 4 hours and 30 minutes but wow, for me , as I look at my journey I can see how far I have come. But now I also know I can push like crazy want to go even farther with my physique.

My main frustration up to this point has been SEEING more dramatic results when I look in the mirror. I will be the first one to tell you… I have not eating right as I have prepared for my marathon. For some reason I thought I could eat whatever I wanted because I was running so much. Obviously I was wrong. I did lose 21 lbs. and am down to 270 but I still have my belly, love handles, and a lack of definition in my muscles.

All of that to say, this is who I am coming to P90X. I would love to:
1. See my abs
2. Lose my love handles
3. See definition in my chest
4. Continue to get in better shape.

My wife Danielle will also be starting P90X with me. Her doing this with me will definitely be huge encouragement as well as help me in accountable with nutrition.
