From fat to completing P90X (with pics)

KZOsMommy

Yesterday was 365 days of logging in for me and a friend said that I should write my success story. So here it goes. I have been on this journey for three years now. I have been with my husband since we were 18 years old and married for 13 years this summer. We have three wonderful children ages 9,7 (almost 8) and 6. We are a homeschooling family, my girls are figure skaters and my son plays hockey. When I am not busy with my kids, lol that does not happen often, I love to garden, do yard work and redo things around the house. I started out at 200lbs and only 5’5.

Here are a couple of my starting photos:






Then I found the biggest loser videos and jillian Michaels 30 days shred. I started working out three times a day! The weight just started to melt away. I was able to get down to 150lbs doing these workouts.

Here is a photo of me then:




I then found p90x. I have to be honest I “tried” it for 30 days and thought that Tony Horton was so weird and the workouts were not hard enough. LMAO oh to be so stupid once again. I went back to just doing cardio, all different dvds. I got down to 145lbs.

Here is me then:



Well I then found ChaLEAN extreme and that showed me how much I love to lift. So I went a couple of rounds with Chalean Exteme (CLX) and a CLX/Turbo Fire Hybrid and gained some weight back. But all my clothes were still fitting so I threw that scale out and got myself a tape measure (when I started my journey I had a 41" waist and am now at a 29" waist).

Here I am at the end of a couple of rounds of ChaLEAN:





I have been stuck at this same weight for a LONG time (back up to 150-155lbs) but I am not giving up! I am seeing some awesome muscle now that I have smacked myself in the head and kicked my own *kitten* and completed p90x and gave it all I have. I lifted heavy (only being able to do 8-10 reps) and have been watching the kinds of food I take in. I now have a LOVE for Tony Horton that I NEVER thought I would! I have just started round 2 of p90x on Monday

Here is my 90 day p90x pics:





Just remember: the key is hard work and dedication! Muscle burns more fat so Lift iron- GO HEAVY OR GO HOME!!!!!! Rome was not built in a day and neither was your body, weight loss takes time it is not a race it is a life journey.
One last VERY IMPORTANT reminder, you can not starve yourself thin people!!! FUEL YOUR MACHINE and it will repay you ten fold!

You look great!

I did day 8 of the regular P90 this morning. I originally bought the P90X, but was too out of shape to even complete the pretest, so I got the P90 to get me started and will do the X after I'm done!

You look awesome girl!! Congrats!! Might be starting P90X within the month!!! A little scared though!!

mewaybright

Awesome work, your results are deserving of much congratulations... Keep paying it forward and keep to the path.

P.S. I have accomplished several rounds of P90X and have completed 1 round of P90X2... it is nothing like the X but is well worth doing. The balance moves are awesome. Give the X2 a go...

You look awesome girl!! Congrats!! Might be starting P90X within the month!!! A little scared though!!

Nothing to be scared about... just commit and go... you can always modify until you can nail it.
