in Introduce Yourself
Hello All,
I am Jonathan. I just found this site while surfing the web at work. I am starting a new journey in my life. I started P90X two days in now. It is very intense especially for a heavy guy like myself but I am doing it. Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. Cool site.

    I think you're exactly right about making it a habit. I'm trying to get back on track, and I have found that its the rest days that seem to extend into excuses for me, so I'm only taking one if I absolutely have to now. Working my way up to P90x with some other DVDs, as I have a pretty sedentary job, and think the P90x might lay me out bad...lol. Welcome, and best of luck!

    I have been doing P90X now too and I'm on day 74 I believe. It's been a long haul but with proper diet and continuing to push play I have lost 30 pounds. You are ABLE to do this, the question is are you WILLING to? Good luck to you add me as a friend if you'd like, I am on this daily!

    Hi my name is Beth and I am from Virginia. My husband and I are doing this together. I am jealous of him because he has lost a lot more weight then me. I found this app on my iPhone and installed it. Little did I know there was a whole community of supporters out there. I love this app because it holds me accountable and allows to see the consequences of my choices, Both good and bad, HaHa! I have lost 5 lbs thus far. Good luck to you on your journey of losing weight. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    I lost 5lbs before starting P90X just by watching my diet a little better. I will get there.
