My Overall Goal: Get Healthy

Success Story

Jim Wyatt Won $1,000 in September 2009

As a former military man, Jim Wyatt thought he was in fairly good shape, so the two heart attacks caught him completely by surprise. Then worried about doing any exercise for fear of another attack, his sedentary lifestyle led to weight gain.

"I was getting no physical exercise at all. My life was in that cycle of getting up, fast-food, going to work, fast-food."

He tried weight loss pills, fad diets, and lose-weight-quick schemes. He even joined a gym in an effort to drop some weight. But none of the fads worked, and the gym proved much too costly.

"I was paying about $60 a month to be a member and a hundred dollars a month for the family members. . . . It was inconvenient to go down there, and really we were just wasting our money by paying the fees."

Sure he was frustrated by his lack of results with everything he tried previously, but it wasn't enough to motivate him to really commit to a healthy lifestyle. That is until he saw one particular picture of himself and stepped on a scale.

"I was 234 pounds, and I was actually devastated because I had never been that heavy before. . . . I was pretty ashamed, actually."

He caught a P90X® infomercial and immediately became intrigued by the stories. Researching the product, he soon realized it would be too tough, so he began with Power 90®. He started the workout and joined the online community to get the most out of the whole Beachbody® experience. The workouts were hard, but Jim modified them to suit his fitness level and continued Pushing Play every day.

"You do it at your own pace; you get through them slowly. It really depends on you—the effort you put into it. . . . You're gonna get all kinds of success. There's no doubt; there's no way that you won't be successful. It's programmed into the program."

Jim finished Power 90 and the Power 90 Master Series and is currently on his first round of P90X. By cleaning up his diet and adding Beachbody supplements, Jim has dropped almost 32 pounds. He describes himself as: "Fifty going on thirty." His doctor has taken him off his blood-pressure medication, and his cholesterol has never been lower. For all of Jim's hard work and dedication, he is a $1,000 winner in Beachbody's September Million Dollar Body Game!
