Here's a link to my transformation video I put together on youtube!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0QUq_RwLww&context=C3800e4cADOEgsToPDskLVNWysW4bZ3b04lvxMC1bw

A year ago I was overweight and depressed when I decided to make a change. I can't believe how much things have changed in the last 365 days. I've done 2 rounds and now I'm working on P90X2!

Hope this inspires you guys on your fitness journey! It never ends, and it's an awesome ride!

    Wow....congrats on your amazing transformation. The video is lovely and very inspiring. I use the P90x videos as part of my workout DVDs, but haven't done the entire program for 90 days in a row....but after seeing your video....may be I should give it a try.

    Thanks so much guys and sorry I didn't post back sooner! Had a busy weekend! Tim Tebow came to our church!

    It has been an amazing year with P90X and Beachbody. I just decided to become a coach with them recently so I'm new to the whole thing. Everyone told me I should make a video to kick start the inspiration and I had no idea it would be received like this. You're always your worst critic and didn't know if my results would be enough to get people movin'! lol

    I'm trying to put up some helpful articles on my website at jakesfitclub.com so if you guys have any suggestions shoot them my way. So far I have general nutrition tips and my grocery list. I'm working on putting together some videos so people can see how I prepare my meals and track them also. Any video ideas are also appreciated!

    I think my next one will be about the supplements I take.

    Thanks again for all the kind words guys!!!!!!!!!

    Keep BRINGING IT!

    Thanks for the post and your AMAZING transformation video. You have inspired me to go ahead with P90X. I am in my second round of INSANITY and I've always had it in my mind that P90X would be too hard. It looks like a lot of the same routines that I'm already doing. Thank you for your service to our country, for being a great dad to your son and for being willing to help others in their journey to wellness.

    Thanks again for the kind words!

    MFP is a big part of your nutrition with tracking. The more accurate and consistent you are with your food the more results!

    DaveMXF YOU KNOW IT BROTHER! OORAH!

    The video made me want to cry at the beginning and cheer the rest of the way through. You are an amazing man - single fatherhood can't be easy, and to parent, work, work out, and now coach takes a huge amount of heart.

    Thank you very much for sharing your story.

    I just watched your video and it was so impressive--I'm so proud of you and glad for you and your family.

    Woa--that stuff you were doing on that video was SUPERMAN stuff to me

    Your video was absolutely amazing! I have the P90X set. I've even started a couple times but always within a week or two it falls off my priority list. I plan to restart them soon, however I am so out of shape I have been working hard on my cardio to jump start my weight loss. I've been running which is something I've always wanted to do, but never had the motivation. I have 3 runs left to complete C2 5K training, and I know that if I can finish that I can definitely finish P90X. This video really started a fire under my *kitten*. Thanks SO much! Hopefully, I can post some smokin HOT after pics in about 3 months!
