in Success Stories
So I have been on here for a couple weeks but I just wanted to share my story. I was 325 lbs at my heaviest in 2010. I didn't feel like working out. I didn't feel like putting in any work. In November of last year (2011), I has trouble breathing going up an escalator, I had never been so embarrassed, so from there I started working everyday. I posted an old picture of me on my fridge when I was 190 and I have decided I am going to get there. In December of last year I weighed in at about 310. I have done 2 rounds of P90X. The second round I added the component of trying to eat clean and as of last Sunday I am 235!!!!!!!! I am still about 50 lbs away from my goal, but I am a living testimony that hard work pays off and that you don't have to do it alone. Here is a picture below of my results. If I can be of help to anyone, please let me know. I was fortunate enough to have someone to talk to to help me get this far, so I know how helpful it is to have an encouraging word. So if anyone would like some advice or needs and encouraging word, or would like to send me an encouraging word. It is much appreciated. I would be glad to be of service.

    Awesome job!! Looking good! I have bad knees so I don't think I want to try P90X, I did a long time ago and it did hurt my knees, so maybe when I get more weight off it might be more helpful to me. Keep up the good work :)

    You've done a beautiful job - and if you hadn't told me otherwise, I'd have thought you were ALREADY at goal looking at your 2nd picture! You'll be looking super super fine if you put even more into
