Hello. I’m VERY new to the P90x system but I’m excited about it & a little scared. The program looks challenging but I am ready to commit myself wholly to this program and BELIEVE in myself enough to see results in 3 months. I want to be healthier than I am presently.

Hello. I’m VERY new to the P90x system but I’m excited about it & a little scared. The program looks challenging but I am ready to commit myself wholly to this program and BELIEVE in myself enough to see results in 3 months. I want to be healthier than I am presently. I have always had trouble with my weight. I’ve dieted & exercised before with good results (most recently, lost 30 pounds this time last year). But once I achieved my goal, I stopped and gained most or all of it back, and then some. I realize now that my life must change to incorporate exercise & diet modification daily. I know I may never reach what others seem to think is “skinny”. I am an African American woman with full breasts, hips, thighs and a nice toushie (if I do say so myself!). But I know what I want out of this. I don’t want to be out of breath running up a short flight of steps or short distances. I want my legs to stop rubbing together. I want to sit on the floor, bring my knees to my chest without feeling my tummy getting in the way. I want my back, feet and knees to stop hurting. I want definition in my arms & legs. I want my beautiful hourglass shape back and I want it to be thinned out, thus, more noticeable. And when I wear shorts, skirts, suits or whatever I may want to put on (even my bathing suits, perhaps one day a bikini), I don’t want to feel embarrassed or anxious about what others might think. I want to walk with confidence and not wear it as a mask or “act” as if I have it. I really want to feel great in this skin of mine. My biggest challenge though will be sticking with it, especially when it gets really tough due to the time constraints of med school. In addition, believing in myself, having faith in this process & putting my exercise/diet needs above all else will be challenging. That means being selfish with this time that I dedicate to myself, my body & my health. I want to be proud of me after these next 90 days. And God willing, I will be!!
