baltimore, MD Hi my name is George and I am now a Beach Body Coach. I guess my story starts like so many others, I was the chubby little boy. I grew up in a Greek home living with old world grandparents so I learned many bad things as it related to eating. As I grew up and went to high school things actually changed and I got very thin. Not because of sports, I've never been athletic, rather I play guitar and Hi my name is George and I am now a Beach Body Coach. I guess my story starts like so many others, I was the chubby little boy. I grew up in a Greek home living with old world grandparents so I learned many bad things as it related to eating. As I grew up and went to high school things actually changed and I got very thin. Not because of sports, I've never been athletic, rather I play guitar and got wraped up in all that came with playing in a rock band.
Well, from here I decided to do something with myself so I chose the USMC. After boot camp I was probably in the best shape of my life. I went to Boot Camp 135 lbs and got out 170. That didn't last because by my late 20s I ballooned to 250 lbs and went on a very low calorie diet and lifted a lot of weight and did a bunch of miles, and again got into great shape which didn't last. At the age of 43 I woke up and realized that I was the largest ever at 260 lbs on a 5' 11.5 body with a body fat of 35-38%. That night I realized I was gonna die. I was already on what I call fat man pills because the only reason I was on them was because I was FAT. I started to eat less and did lose a few pounds but about 2 weeks later I saw the commercial for P90X and before it was done I had my order placed. I was so excited to receive it I called customer service and UPS several times to we that it was still on it's way. The day I got it I was so eager to start I didn't even read anything knowing that I just had to start my health depended on it. Within 2 months I lost 40 pounds and the Dr. took me off the FAT man pills. In round 1 I've seen my weight drop 52 pounds, body fat dropped 12-14%. P90X works!

On March 16, 2009 I sat down on the sofa, all 260 pounds of me to watch television and snack on something. I couldn't find anything so I began to surf around looking and came across the P90X infomercial. Now, I am not one to pay attention to them because they all seem to be such scams. There was something different in this one; it caught my attention immediately. The things Tony was mentioning in how and why he developed this program and the testimonials struck a chord with me. I was not alway that bad physically. In my mid to late 20s I was actually in very good physical condition. I lifted weights at the gym 2 hours 6 days and ran at least 2 miles 3 days a week. By the time I entered my mid 30s, however I let myself go and go I did. I ended up on all the "fat" man medication. High blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and on my way to certain heart disease. The blessing is I put my trust in Jesus to give me the strength to not quit and determined that I would follow the P90X program as well as I possibly could. The short of it is in about 2 months I lost 30 pounds and the doctor took me off all the medication. I finished my first round of the X, took a week where I only did light stretching and Yoga, then immediately began round 2. I am now starting phase 2 of my second round and have gone from 260 pounds to 202 pounds. I feel healthy, fit, energetic, and enjoy more than I have in such a long time. Thank you Jesus! Thanks to my Lord Jesus, Tony Horton, my coach BobCatBear, and BeachBody. If there is anyway I can help you please feel free to contact me.
