After high school I stopped playing sports and the weight
slowly and surely tagged on over the years until I reached
a depressing 225 lbs (only known due to an unavoidable
physical for work). *** UPDATE 9-27-03 So I had to get a
doctor's something-another for my mom to file some stuff
in my medical records. Long story short, the last doctor's
report had my weight at 232...not that I'm proud of this or
anything but it makes my weight loss different..now...on
with the show*** It may have been even higher but I
never weighed myself and even refused to go to the
doctor when I was sick for fear that someone would see
how much I weighed (as if they couldn't see through the
layers upon layers of clothes I wore to hide my body). I
hated going out to the mall, grocery store, really anywhere
because I would always run into someone I knew and
could see in their eyes the look of "wow, she's packed on
a couple". And don't mention exercise. I would be
exhausted by the time I went upstairs to go to bed that I
would have to stop and catch my breath before relaxing.

So in late December of 2001, I decided there had to be a
change. I saw the commecial for Power 90 that I had
seen a million times while I was up late and I finally
thought "Might as well". I had tried EVERY other scheme
to lose weight andthis was a new one. No promises of
rapid weight loss in four days, no
eat-anything-and-dont-exercise-and-lose-fifty-pounds
gimics. It really seems to say, "Hey, if you are willing to
exercise about 30-40 minutes a day, this will work." Go
figure. So I decided to get it. I didn't really have the money
at the time so the two installments fit in my budget. So I
ordered it in the first weeks of January in 2002 and it
came in the mail in February. The first things that I loved
about the tapes is that there were no fancy "dance
moves" to master (like what you would experience in an
aerobic class) I have tried too many and given up so
quick because I spent the entire time trying to catch up
and get the right move. So I began the tapes and did as
much as I could but it took about two to three weeks to be
able to complete the tapes without skipping a move or
taking an extra break here and there. Even doing this I
could still see some changes and lost about 10 lbs the
first month. I got excited about the weight loss and so I
slacked off on the tapes for about a week. I honestly
could hear the tapes calling my name from the video
cabinet every time I walked by. This period of going one
month-then off a week went on for awhile. Over all the the
90
days I lost 25 lbs. Then in May I started taking the
Women's
total health and performance formula supplements and
really hit it hard after school was
over. I am at present down to around 180
now Hopefully I can get down to 15-18% again.
Hey..a girl's got to have something to shoot for !!!
Anywho, I have
biscep muscles worth flexing now, and I am seeing the
first stages of stomach muscles!! Wooohooo. And all
those clothes I have saved over the years that "I might fit
in again"??? Well, I'm able to fit them now. Yes, they are a
little out of date, but that's not the point people!! Anyways,
my goal is to get to maybe work my way down to 165
pounds and
then finally down to the "Once unobtainable
but now possible" goal weight of 155 lbs. This has been
slightly altered due to the fact I have more muscle than I
ever have. Not only am I looking better, but I'm feeling
better too. My confidence increases every day. I even
took an intermediate swimming class last semester!! I
have been wanting to do that since I started college in
1998
but I never felt comfortable enough in a bathing suit. So
that was a HUGE accomplishment for me!! And just a
word
to Tony, Debbie (both of whom I feel I know personally
from hearing their voices on the tapes) *** UPDATE:
Dude..I can't believe I won the trip to Hawaii!! The best
thing about it was that I FINALLY got to meet and talk to
"The" Tony. And let me tell you, he is all that and a bag of
chips..errrr..carrots!! lol Seriously, he is one of the
funniest, nicest, more genuine people I have ever met. IT
just makes me love this p90 even more (and who thought
THAT was possible!!??) *** and to who ever
else needs encouragement:

I have never, ever been as happy with my body and my life
as I am today. It is April 2004, and last year was
wonderful (come on..I got to go to Hawaii for the first time
ever!!) . I plan on this year being no different, mind you!!!I
have spent too many
years unhappy, depressed, lonely, and feeling like I need
to stand to the side and let the world pass me by all
because of my physical appearance. No more. It brings
me to tears to think of how much my life has changed
and if it is working SO WELL for me, how well it can work
for someone else.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

I'm 24, 5'8, and a "super" senior in college and have been
overweight ever since high school. I have spent the last
five to six years hiding in the shadow of everyone else
because I was ashamed of the way I looked. Everywhere
I went I felt as if people were looking at me because I
was so fat. I have been using Power 90 since February
2002 and have loved every minute of it. I start the tapes
over all the time cause I
just can't help myself!!
My before picture is actually the summer
of 2001 and I ended up adding on 20+ more pounds. I'm
still looking for a good "bad" picture from Thanksgiving
just so everyone (including myself) will know how far I've
come. Also, my after picture is really the next "Before"
picture because I'm doing the whole thing over again. I
just love it!!! Wish me luck and good luck to you!!!
