I am 4 days away from completing p90x for the first time. I started out in November at Thanksgiving get together and had pics made with the family. I was at 310 pounds at this point and was wanting to lose weight but couldn't ever stick with what I started. It was at the end of December after talking to one of my old fraternity brothers that I realized how big of deal it was that I was that obese. So there I was 35 years old 6 ft tall with my first kid (Brendan)on the way ( June 4 th) projected and I weighed 310 pounds. I started running and got off the computer games more and started hitting the gym to play basketball. I was was losing weight and starting to feel good when I hit a weight plateau . This is when I started P90x classic. I have followed the schedule and diet like it was a religion even on days when I was sick I still pushed play and did my best. So here I am 4 days away from completing it and I currently weigh 235 =) My plan is 2 take a week or so off after this cycle and do cardio ( run and play basketball) to give my body some rest time then I am jumping back into INSANITY to try to get to my goal weight of 185. I'm never going back down the road I was on. Since December I haven't had a soft drink or fast food and feel fantastic=) I wish I had been doing my fitness pal all along .. feel free to add me jwally75@yahoo.com . Tomorrow will be 100 day in a row holding myself accountable on it.

Thanks ,
Wally:tongue:

    Good Job! I have one more week of insanity. Its a great tool. Moves faster than p90x. I didnt exactly get the results I was hoping for but I am a lot stronger and my endurance is up. Best of luck on the next part of your journey!

    That's amazing. You have every right to be proud of your success and accomplishments so far! I really would like to try to do P90X but I'm afraid I just won't be able to do it yet...maybe after I lose a little more and feel more confident in my ability to survive it. LOL!

    Congratulations and best wishes on your next challenge! :)
