My name is Chris and I've struggled with my weight all of my life. On November 17th, 2008 I went to the doctor because I was having headaches and my nightmare was true...I weighed 388 lbs. This was after 2 weeks of starvation because I was afraid of what the scale was going to say. After way too many years of having to use 2 scales to weigh myself, not being able to keep us with my friends and family, and then having the doctors say that I was pre-diabetic I knew that it was time to take charge. Since that point I have lost 89 lbs and for the first time in 7 years my weight starts with a 2 instead of a 3. My goal now is to continue the weight loss and join the army!

And then there was a life changing moment...

I got down to 282 lbs and quit because I began getting headaches. I went to the doctor when these headaches got very severe and it was determined after a CT Scan and an MRI that I had a pituitary tumor. I did nothing more than lay in bed and sleep for several months until my surgery in January. January the 11th I had a non-invasive brain surgery in which they went through my nose to get to just behind the sinus cavity and take the tumor out. I have since healed up but lost my dream.
My brother has now been deployed to Afghanistan for a 1 year tour in which he arrived on April 5th. April 5th was day 1 of my p90 journey. I vowed to my brother that for every day he was deployed I would work out. I hope to have a completely different body than I did before he left. I have gained back almost 40 lbs since surgery and am back at 320. I have done this before so I know that I can do it again. I just need all of the motivation that I can get.
I wish you all luck and will try to follow in the path that many have and succeeded in. I have began P90, own P90x for the future, and will start shakeology as soon as it is delivered. Looking forward to the journey together with you all!
