Hello! My name is Darlene DeMet. I am 41 years old, married with 4 children, two granddaughters and 2 grandsons on the way. I have been struggling with my weight since the birth of my first daughter 24 years ago.

I have actually been a Beachbody customer for years. I have purchased many programs from Power 90, Slim in 6, Turbo Jam and, of course many others that are not offered by Beachbody; and now I am doing P90X.

In January 2004 I weighed in at 165 lbs and my back went out at the airport. I was laid flat for 6 weeks. Both my doctor and my chiropractor told me that I absolutely had to loose the weight or risk being in a wheelchair inside of 5 years. My back just wasn’t strong enough to hold so much weight. So, I started the South Beach Diet and worked out 6 days a week with Slim in 6. I lost 30 lbs and was feeling much better. But, as with everything else I have “tried”, as soon as I started seeing results, I promptly went back to my old ways and quit. To no big surprise, the weight began to creep back up.

Then, this January I torn my labrum and sprained my rotator cuff in my right shoulder at work. With all the therapy, doctor’s appointments, medication and pain I was spiraling into a depression I could not control. Oh, and did I mention I found out my cholesterol was over 300? What had become of me? I did not even recognize the person in the mirror, both inside and out.

My sister moved to Texas the beginning of March. One day we were watching TV and stumbled across another infomercial about P90X. She immediately said we should order it. I told her that it didn’t make sense to purchase yet one more video program when I just know I will quit as soon as I see results. Besides, do you see what those people are doing in those videos? There is absolutely no way I will be able to do those videos.

Long story short, with her undying promise that she will not quit on me and that we will “make” each other accountable for the next 90 days, I picked up the phone and ordered P90X.

My goal is to loose 40 lbs and significantly lower my cholesterol. After all these years, I still have a pair of jeans I was able to wear after my first child that I want to fit into. And, most importantly, I want to be here to grow old with my husband and watch my grandchildren grow up.

My God Bless You on Your Journey!
Darlene
