Royse City, TX My name is Paul Henry and I'm 54 and live in the Dallas area. Like so many my weight got out of control over the past few years and my age seemed to make it even harder to deal with. I stumbled onto the p90x infomercial and in 30 minutes I was on the phone making my order. As soon as my order arrived I jumped into the program. One thing I did not do was get involved with the message My name is Paul Henry and I'm 54 and live in the Dallas area. Like so many my weight got out of control over the past few years and my age seemed to make it even harder to deal with. I stumbled onto the p90x infomercial and in 30 minutes I was on the phone making my order. As soon as my order arrived I jumped into the program. One thing I did not do was get involved with the message boards here at BeachBody. I also did not build any accountability or encouragement groups around me. I soon became discouraged because I could not keep up with the program. So, I jumped back on my treadmill and lost about 15 lbs. Once I reached that goal, I slowly fell back into my old habits and the weight came right back.
Well today is a new day and the start of a new season in my life. This time I'm doing everything right. I gathered some local people to come around me and hold me accountable. I mean really accountable. I stay in touch with them daily. Then I got very involved with the BeachBody message boards and that has made the biggest difference. I not only have found people that can relate to my situation, but they are encouraging me to push even harder. I feel that these people actually care because they go out of their way to respond to questions and to give encouragement or advice and sometimes even accountability. Now that's really worth more than the investment in the p90 and p90x DVDs I bought.
As of today, 07/21/10 I have completed p90,p90x and I have started my 2nd round of p90x. I've lost a total of 35 lbs and 10 inches in my stomach. People that have not seen me since I started this notice the difference immediately. My goals are different this time. I'm not focused so much on the weight loss as I am on a "Lifestyle Change". I am seeing a powerful change taking place in my life right now and as I continue to Push Play I know that the weight will take care of itself. Obviously, it already is. So, I guess you can say that I'm a lifer now. I have never felt better about my fitness progress than I feel today.
This is why I decided to go ahead and become a Team BeachBody Coach. I can not stop talking about how this is impacting my life. If I'm your coach you can contact me at Paulh@BeachBodyCoach.com and I will be more than glad to answer any questions you might have. Check out my new website at www.beachbodycoach.com/paulh
I promise that if you pick a program that you think you will like, and you stick with it and follow the meal plans, IT WILL WORK! Let me know if I can help.

I'm 53 years old and tired of being tired. My Cholesterol levels are high enough that my Doctor has put me on medication for it and I'm not happy that I have let my health get to this point. I actually purchased p90x over a couple of years ago but could not keep up enough to stay encouraged.
Like so many other people I stumbled onto a P90x infomercial and I was instantly impressed. I thought about it for about 30 minutes and looked at my wife and said, " I'm buying it". I could not wait until it came in the mail. To my dismay I soon realized I was in worse shape than I thought. I could not keep up with the workouts. I also did not even understand the support system with the Boards so I did not even try to use them. Without the encouragement, accountability I soon became discouraged and gave up. About 1 year later I tried again to do the program but with the same approach and results. I even bought P90x for my son and thought that maybe we could do it together, but for some reason that did not work either.
This time everything is different. I have surrounded myself with people that are holding me accountable. I have jumped into the Beach Body Message Boards for support and to answer questions I have. I'm doing the diet plan right this time and I decided to start with P90 first before jumping up to P90x. Reason? I'm no longer just looking to loose weight, or to compete with everyone else on the planet and try to prove that I can keep up. What I'm after this time, is " Lifestyle Change ".
So, I plan on unpacking this 6 pack that I have had in this cooler around my gut. Not sure how long it's going to take but trust me it's coming out! Watch and See.
Update: I've missed 2 months of workouts due to an illness. But, I have lost 15 lbs since I started and as of today, 01/06/10 I've started back with P90X and I'm pumped! I can already feel the 3 pounds I put back on over the holidays coming back off. YES! 3/12/10 Update: right after my last update I had another relapse. Ridiculous. But I started drinking my shakeology, waited until late Feb to ease back into my Work Outs and as of today I'm now down to 158lbs with a total loss of 27 lbs ! Can you Say, YES!
