in Introduce Yourself
Since January between P90x and Turbofire I have lost 19 inches!!!
Would would like to do the same?

This is my story

Hello my name is Angel and I am 39 year old former couch potato
I have struggled with my weight and have tried every fad diet there was and hated working out, I wanted that quick fix. A year ago heavier and out of shape I decided to try P90X however I never changed my diet and 66 days into I gave up I didnt see the results I wanted after that I continued to put on more weight after seeing some pictures of myself I said enough is enough and like everyone else on the planet in January I decided to lose weight and exercise after losing 20lbs through healthy eating I did some walking and other DVDS at home but it just wasn't cutting it. I would see the commercials and I thought I need to try that P90X again and finish it this time! After week one I thought what was I thinking I could barely do the push ups on my knees I hurt everywhere and never thought I would get better or even finish I would see myself in the mirror working out many times I cried. I kept pushing play!!! I got stronger I was bringing it! Push ups well I can bust out 100 right now if you would like :) If I can do this anyone can! I then passed the fit test for Insanity and have been doing that and I hate it and love it all at the same time. I love having muscles I love being strong I love being healthy. I graduated from P90X in August 2012 and I am so proud! and I want to help others so I became coach and began my 2nd workout Turbofire, I was scared at first because I have no coordination but I fell in love with the program and the music and I will see this through to the end 20 weeks :) I finish it before my 40th Birthday in December and I cant wait to start another program, my goal is to do all of them

    Well good for you! That's awesome! That's interesting to hear....I have the "Insanity" workout, by beach body....I tried it years ago and it kicked me bad!!!! Thought it was too hard of a workout for me...so I quit....I have been doing the elliptical about 4-5 days a week, for about an hour. I also swam laps this summer for a few weeks. I have only been tracking on MFP faithfully for a few weeks.
    I am not seeing any change :-( feeling a little frustrated but I don't want to give up, I also use Food Lovers to gauge my portions and combine carbs and proteins to keep me in "fat burning" mode. My diet is all whole grains and lots of veggies, I quit eating meat for a while...thought I try vegetarian....but missed the lean meats. Mostly fish and seafood. I'm 5' 61/2 and last time I weighed in at 167lbs. The heaviest I've ever been. I wear a size 8 but have a little belly and I feel "thick" looking, I'm happiest at a weight of about 155 or smaller. I would love to be "buddies" to stay encouraged and to encourage you as well. Let me know...
