My weight has been a life-long struggle. Other than a few years out of college and on my own, I've generally been heavy, though never as heavy as I am now. I've been on numerous diets and tried different types of exercise and sometimes had some success, but the success was always followed by regaining the weight and then some. The last few years have just been a case of gaining another ten pounds every year.

I got interested in P90X from an infomercial. I'd heard about the program but understood it to be just for the moderately fit person to get really in shape. However, either the infomercial or the website had the testimonial from Justin, who started at 370 lbs, and talked about just doing what he could and keep going. With that piece I felt like P90X was a program that I had confidence would work, and enough confidence that I could do some modified version of it until I improved.

Today 11/29/12 was day one for me. I took my photos, which was horrific in and of itself. I did the first workout in P90X lean today, Core Synergistics, and got through my modified version of it. I did all the push-ups from the knees only, and sometimes just marched in place while the leaders did all the hard stuff. I also started the nutrition plan and it scares me more than the exercises. But I'm doing it, so that's the important thing.

My goal is to lose 60 pounds over the next 90 days, and then start another round. I'm excited to see what happens.
