    Awesome! This just totally makes me more excited to keep pushing ahead. I'm almost finished with week 3 so just starting here, but looking forward to similar results I hope. Thanks for sharing!


    Your doing P90 too, I'm thinking about doing it. I've already lost some weight but I want to tone. How's it working?

    I'm not big on telling my story because I don't think I really have anything to tell that can be nearly as inspiring at some of the stories I've heard.

    At my heaviest I weighed in at 230 lbs. I had gotten to the point where I didn't really care about how I looked or felt anymore. At the time I was an active alcoholic usually consuming upwards of 2-3 liters of vodka every day. I finally hit my bottom and committed my life to my King and Savior. Since that time, I struggled through replacing alcohol with anything that could make me feel better, including over eating.

    One day I just got tired of feeling like crap and having no energy to do anything. So I downloaded a C25K app and started running. That's when I realized that I could turn my addictive behavior into some good and I became obsessed with my health and fitness.

    60 days ago I decided I needed to step it up and I started P90X, the rest is history and the photos below are just a beginning to where I want to be.

    Here is my heaviest at 230lbs in 2010

    These are when I started P90X. The first picture is 30 days prior to starting.

    Another 4 weeks of P90X and I'm expecting bigger results! :D

    Good job, what type of diet did you do to go along with it. I'm sure those results include a good diet!

    P90X comes with a nutrition plan and I think a lot of people think they can get results from just the workouts. But it's true, as I've mentioned before. 80% of results in diet (nutrition) I don't like to use the word diet because diets end. It really is a life style change. I'm not one to stick to a strict plan, I'm more portion oriented. So even though there are daily recipes there is also a portion option. my calculated calorie intake was 2400 calories but from experience and at my age I knew that was too high. so I started at 1800 calories and was meticulous at hitting my macros (50% protein/30% carbs/20%fat). Is it hard to hit those everyday just eating whole foods? YES! So yes I do use protein powder to get enough protein. I eat a ton of tuna, chicken, breast, turkey breast, fish etc... when I got to 6 weeks, I switched to 40% protein/40% carbs/20% fat to give me more energy in my workouts. :)
