For me it all started about two years ago when my sister invited us to Las Vegas for her wedding. A few weeks after the wedding, we were all gathered around looking at the photos and I saw a picture of myself that was totally appalling.

It was that awful moment in life when you really see yourself for the first time as everyone around you sees you. I was mortified……I was 34 years old and weighed 240 pounds. I have a wonderful family, I own a successful design business, but I realized in that one moment how badly I had let myself go. It was like looking a complete stranger who had kidnapped my soul, from me…..my eyes where the only thing that looked familiar.

It was a very low point in my life, one that only other people who have been that kind of over weight can comprehend. It was soon after that experience, that my wife and I decided it was time for a change. We both began to alter our diets and we started looking at food differently.

After a drastic change of lifestyle and diet, a close friend of mine told me about P90-X. It only took a fifteen minute conversation with him and I was hooked. I remember my friend telling me how hard this workout was, and not to get discouraged if I couldn’t keep up. This was an advanced workout, and it’s not for everyone.

As soon as I got my copy of P90-X I took the fit test and failed EVERY aspect of it. I mean EVERY aspect…… I could barley do 2 pushups, I couldn’t do any pull-ups, I lasted about 9 seconds on the wall squats, and I could only curl 10 pounds for about 5 reps. None of that mattered to me, I was so excited to get started that on the Sunday night before I officially started the program I did the X-Stretch and it almost killed me.

Well, long story short, P90-X didn’t kill me, and as the saying goes what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. I have now on my 5th round of P90X . I have lost just over 85 lbs. so far, and I have so much energy, I feel great.

I know it is totally cliché to say “This program has changed my life”… But let me tell you….this diet and exercise program has totally changed my life. It is the coolest feeling in the world to walk into a hip young people store like Rue 21, or The Buckle, and find clothes that fit. I had doomed myself to wearing plus sized Wal-Mart clothes for the rest of my life. I went from a size 44 pants to a size 32, in just under a year and I have gone down three shirt sizes.

I am so excited to be sharing my experience with others, and hope that I can help people realize the changes I have made in my life. I have so much energy now, and I feel better on both the outside and the inside.
