Ready to hit the night life with confidence.

Awesome eyes, 9!

Like everyone else has suggested, P90X / Insanity Hybrid would be the way to go if you're wanting to stick with at home workouts. Since you've done most of Insanity you'll definitely be craving more in the form of cardio while doing P90X exclusively. I've done P90X to completion and wrapping up my second round of the…

Wow, great job! Amazing what a bit of fitness can do for age appearance. Everyone looks so much younger and alive!

The neon pink under shorts! ;) Those beast legs!

I switched to Vibram Bikila's for Insanity due to the amount of lateral movement and jumping. Running and cross-trainer shoes had too much height in the sole making it easy to roll the ankle and I could sense an ankle injury if I didn't switch. I presume any type of minimalist shoe will work similar to the Vibrams for…

Don't gets many opportunities to get a back photo but I finally did tonight. :) Still very much a work in progress...

I love all these success stories! Great job everyone. I've been at it for 12 months now (10 months on regular programs and dialed in nutrition). Started at 225lbs in August of last year and I've been at 175 now for last several months which is good since I didn't want to drop below 175. Ideally I'd like to gain some LBM…

Great job and fantastic results from your second round. I think you'll really like mixing it up with the P90X/Insanity Hybrid program. I found it to be a better combination over the cardio routines in P90X.

Work in progress, 6 months of dialed in nutrition / macros, P90X, and P90X/Insanity Hybrid. 195lbs, 24.5% BF to 175lbs, 9% BF. Looking to get back up to 180-185lbs, but via lean mass gains.

Started my journey in August 2012 doing the atypical cardio gym regiment (treadmill, elliptical, bike) and lost about 25lbs. I went from 223lbs (bodyfat percentage unknown) to 197lbs (bodyfat 24.5%) but still looked and felt flabby. During this time I didn't have complete control over the nutrition aspect which definitely…

Wow there are some amazing transformations and stories here. Congratulations to everyone here for taking that step towards a healthier and happier you! Will post mine a bit later!

Nothing like some of the awesome backs in this thread, but its a start for me at least. * please disregard all the clutter in the background :blushing:

P90X includes a fit test to get a general assessment on where you are in regards to starting the program. I'd suggest taking it and if you meet the requirements jump right on in. Don't be discouraged if you can't do a pull up either. I'd say the vast majority of those that started the program couldn't or could only do 1…

Have you tried a post workout recovery drink within 45 mins of your workout? Something between 3 or 6-1 carb to protein and a little sugar as a catalyst. 8-10 ounces of Low fat organic chocolate milk works well and it's relatively cheap (at least for now). I add a little L-Glutamine powder to mine as well. Definitely helps…

I've used this easy recipe on a few flaky white fish types (Haddock, Halibut, Hake, Cod) thus far and it's outstanding on every one. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-halibut-sitka/ I substitute in Daisy light sour cream and Fat Free Nayonaise in place of the mayo. Fresh chopped dill and green onions. Depending on how big…

I agree with some of the above posts. Stacking too many workouts each day is just setting yourself up for over-training or burnout. P90X (Classic/Doubles) alone is more then enough. Also, the stats you provided (don't have age or height), 1200 cals per day is certainly not enough to sustain / promote lean muscle mass…

Very inspirational story and very sorry for your loss! Thanks for sharing your journey with us via this video, looking forward to the next one :) About to wrap up my first round of P90X so I had to cut out the white rice and especially my favorite, paigu (排骨) from my diet as well ;-)

Absolutely amazing and inspiring. You look beautiful as well as your family. I'm sure they are extremely proud of what you've been able to accomplish in a relatively short period of time. It was a true test of your spirit and will to succeed facing that mountain of obstacles and challenges. Big Kudo's to you and keep on…
