Hey everyone!
I'm using MFP because it's a great way to keep track of my food intake during the day. I'm a big guy at 6'5" and four months ago I was the heaviest I had been in my life at 264lbs! I had more rolls than a bakery and the infamous "man-boobs". I work 2 full-time jobs and am a busy father of two girls under the age of 4; therefore, taking care of my health was always a last priority.
I was tired, lazy, short-tempered, self-conscious about my body, and figured I would never get ripped like the people you see in magazines. I would see people in great shape and think they were born with perfect bodies - and I would never be like them. I made a commitment to myself to throw out my excuses and get in the best shape of my life before my 30th birthday in 07/2012.
I started P90X in September of 2011. It was the hardest workout program I've ever done both mentally and physically. I had to change the way I ate. I had to change my time management. Everyone has an hour a day to workout. No more video games for me. I was working out to P90X. I made a commitment to the program and the nutrition plan.
In 90 days with P90X I shed 54lbs! I was eating between 2400-3000 calories a day! I wish I had known about MFP when I was doing this program. It would have made my life a lot easier. I have never been this ripped, energetic, and healthy. Now that I am this healthy, I'm never looking back. My goal was to get in the best shape of my life, and I did just that - in 3 months time!
If you're struggling with weight loss and eating right, you're not alone. It's still a daily struggle for me. Just because you get to where you want to be doesn't mean you stop when you get there - it's a daily battle. If you would like any motivation or support with your health and fitness journey - add me.
Take care everyone!

Nice! You look much happier too.
Love me some Five Finger Death Punch too.0 -
Fantastic! I so want to try P90X, people are successful when they follow through...feeling like I need to shed a lot more weight before attempting it though. Seems to cater towards those who have a little weight to lose and/or just need to get ripped! Congrats on your transformation, nice abs!

If you're referring to the P90X workouts, they're a set of 12 DVD routines that range from 45-90 minutes. That saves me time by not going to a gym and I can workout in the convenience of my home.0

Thank you all so much for the nice compliments! If you have any questions about getting in the best shape of your life. Let me know. I'm here to help, motivate, and support 100%.
@laurenrenee10: One of the reasons I wanted to get into top shape was so my two daughters could have a father that was energetic and there for them 100%. Not only has P90X changed my life, it has changed the lifestyle I have with my two daughters. I'm not tired and crabby like I used to be and I'm creating a foundation for my children to have healthy habits as they get older.0 -
