I am a 38 year old married father of 3. I am an IT professional working for a very large fortune 500 company. I used to be athletic, fit, trim, all that, but 15 years of working in IT has left me with body by Unix. I am overweight, out of shape and not happy with my body at all. 19 years ago I set the record on Parris Island for physical fitness test scores by a Marine recruit.

I was ripped, fit, in world class shape and I loved the way I looked.
After over 10 years of living with the shame of how I have let myself become, I am doing something about it. I want to get back to bet fit and healthy. I was happy with the way I looked. I will not live in shame anymore.

19 years ago I set a record on Parris Island for the final physical fitness test of Marine Corps boot camp. I did a 3 mile run in 16:30, a full minute ahead of the next person, 48 pullups and 142 situps in 2 minutes. Up to that time no one had ever scored so high on the final PFT. In the 4 years I was in the Marines I trained hard and was pretty built when I got out, muscular, fit, the whole nine...
When I was in tip top shape, I could eat whatever I wanted, but once I got out, I stopped running, working out, heck anything physical at all. I got pretty darn fat. Getting fat after being in such good shape is a vicious cycle of depression, shame and getting even fatter. I did not like to go outside, I did not stay in contact with friends, and I felt disgusted every time I looked at myself. I had hit "bottom."
I got P90X because I wanted to make a serious change. I wanted to make a change like I did 19 years ago where I went from being in ok shape to world class shape. I wanted to get back to how I felt about myself then. P90X looked extreme enough for me. I could tell it was the real deal.
After my first round of P90X I am extremely happy with the results. I have lost 40 lbs and I have never felt better. I am in better shape than I have been in years and I am ready for more!
In some ways, you can go back, at least I can get back to being fit and confident. Thanks to Tony, Beachbody and P90X I know it is just a matter of time and me continuing to bring it.
