Update. I started P90X this week. Killer workouts. I have lost another 4lbs this week. The eating plan sucks. The food is not very practical to make when you have work, kids, workout and anything else that might come up. My wife has been obsessed with the meal plan. I was just trying to convince her to use it as a guideline and not follow exactly to the letter. Make the foods that fit the category that are resonable. The whole week has been revolving around the food. And as a family who has changed there eating habits to a healthy diet, any of you that have used P90X know the first phase is pretty much atkins diet. A little tough for a family that doesn't eat much meat. You can only drink so much protein powder. Well, all in all, it is a very good workout. Just wish the meal plan was a little more reasonable for people with hectic schedules and familes. IMHO.
A co-worker uses P90X and likes the workouts. I'm going to see if I can find some info on the workouts and try them out.
The meal plans probably won't work for me right now as things are too hectic.

Well I started at 176 Lbs in January, lighter than I felt. Switched to light beer, stopped eating fast food (95% of it), bought a mountain bike, eat about 1/2 as much as I was before. I now weigh 160 Lbs, feel alot thinner. It's a trade off, I miss the Sonic burgers.
I just noticed this thread today. I'm a big boy in need of some slimming down for sure. It's funny how health problems compound if you just sit down and let them take hold.
I was having a palpitating heart problem and my blood pressure was so high (190/130) I could feel my heartbeat in my legs. Constant pain. Depression.
I decided to eat breakfast every morning and cut out the half pot of creamer and sugar coffee breakfast. Usually oatmeal with flaxseed, cinnamon, Smart Balance peanut butter and chopped walnuts.
I also eliminated eating after dinner. I love to snack on the leftovers from dinner around 10-11 PM. I made the mistake of eating a hamburger and washing it down with grapefruit juice recently and woke up aspirating on stomach acid. If this has never happened to you it's a living nightmare for about 5 minutes and will cause you to lose a lot of sleep. And break a bad habit.
Anyhow, I'm working in the right direction. Was 343 two weeks ago when I started getting my life back in order.
Previous weight 343
Current weight: 329
BP 151/82 (un-medicated)
Height 5' 11"
Goal: lose 100 pounds
Here is a pic from last week.
Dang I'm a chubby :censored:
Count me in.
I weigh in at 295 and while I like being able to move things, I am 42 and it's time to start slimming down.
Here is a pic of me moving 900 lbs of flour.
The guy in the camo jacket is about the same height as I am so I am somewhat compressed in the pic, but I won't tell you why I appear shorter.
I haven't been 200 lbs since I was 19, but that will be my goal for this. My weight is generally estimated (by others) to be 250, so I wonder what the estimates will be as I approach 200?
First order of business will be to prepare mentally, start eating breakfast and quit eating later at night, then walking, working out, then quit smoking. Probably in that order (somewhat).
Updates will be made in this thread unless it receives no airplay and sinks to the back, back pages. If that happens I'll keep the updates only in my log book.
Anyone else?
i weigh in over 350 did weigh 318 but gained it all back over time how can one loose weight when its stressful trying to loose it in a short time
Well, just thought i'd drop an update. I've almost crossed the 100lb loss mark. As of right now I've lost 93lbs and the goal I set for myself a year and a half ago was 100lbs. Guess when I reach there I need to set a new one. By the way i'm now 227.
