During my college days I was wrestler, but I never weighted less than 270lbs regardless of how much I trained. Simply put, I train hard but eat very bad. After I got married I just let go the exercise part and just... ate just for the pleasure of eating. Eating as late as 1 in the morning was common. During this time I just pile up the pounds to 357lbs. Needless to say I had high blood pressure

During my college days I was wrestler, but I never weighted less than 270lbs regardless of how much I trained. Simply put, I train hard but eat very bad. After I got married I just let go the exercise part and just... ate just for the pleasure of eating. Eating as late as 1 in the morning was common. During this time I just pile up the pounds to 357lbs. Needless to say I had high blood pressure and suffered gout attacks very frequently. Even though my doctor gave me a warning that i would not live to see my 42 b-day, I keep my lifestyle fooling myself with buying bigger clothes and living a lie that i looked good yet i was afraid of just not waking up one day. It wasn't until what became my last gout attack that I decided that enough was enough. That day my 4 year old son came to me with a ball as I was just lying on the couch with my foot swollen. He just told me "daddy I want to play ball but daddy is sick so I play alone" It was January 22, 2011 when I went to the gym and started walking on the elliptical. Shortly thereafter i bought the "Men’s Health Big Book of Exercises" That along with the guidance of Carlos, a friend from my childhood, and my Brother in law Tito who helped me modify my eating habits. No more junk food, no more sugar drinks, no more simple carbs, no more eating without knowing what I was eating nutrition wise. Those changes helped me loose 70 lbs in 8 months. By then I plateau. It was Carlos who suggested that I take my workouts to the next level and he recommended P90X. On October 01, 2011 I started P90X. After my first round I lost 15 more lbs while toning down and going from pants size 42 to 38. By then I have decided to start Insanity and I did so on January 01, 2012 and in two months I lost 22 more lbs. After 13 months I went from shirt size XXXL to size L and from pants size 50 to size 34 or 36 depending on the style. These days I praise God for his blessings and for letting me know and be able to do P90X and Insanity. Oh, and now I can play ball not only with my 5 year old, but also with my 11, 9 and 4 year olds and have the peace of mind that I am there for my family
