Hi all! I'm Emory Emrich, a knowledge management technology consultant, living in Southeast Michigan. I'm 43 years old and have been married for 19 years to a wonderful woman, with whom I've parented our two great kids. Since kids were born I've been a techno geek by trade who's only exercise was clicking a mouse. Before kids I was much more active and disciplined about staying in shape. Since that time I had ballooned into a person I didn't recognize in the mirror. I decided in January that this is the year change is happening. After making some initial progress with a better diet and some gym work I saw the P90X infomercial on television one night and was blown away. I thought there might be something there that could help me really jumpstart my efforts. I'm not someone who buys things I see on television but since committing to this program I've come to see that Beachbody is the real deal. It made the idea of working out at home seem realistic in that it doesn't require a large investment in equipment I'd rarely if ever use, or a strange diet. Let me tell you, it's delivered on all fronts! Since February, from my top weight of 227, I'm already down to 190, on the way to my goal of 175. More important though than weight loss are seeing my physical dimensions change and improved overall fitness. I've already lost 4 inches from my waist and have more energy than I remember having since high school. With each day that passes I can see my body transforming. Now that's motivation!

My Progress

My fitness goal: Lose Weight

Transformation story

When I started getting back into shape my plan was simple: cut out sugar and bread from my diet and focus on high protein, low fat with lots of lean meats and fresh vegatables. Additionally I started working out in my local gym for 30-60 minutes 3-5 days/week. Focus has been on a balance of moderate cardio and resistance training. I've upped my gym time and intensity to 60-70 minutes 5-6 days/week with more intense cardio. Initially I was losing 3 lbs/week on average but have reached a plateau. I'm keen to keep my progress moving and am of the type to go all in if I commit to a goal. I'd like to get to 180 lbs and have a body to make Tony Horton blush. My results have been good and seeing the look on my wife's face has been great motivation. Looking for focus and intensity to keep on track.
