I am 39 yrs. old. In 2001 I was diagnosed with an incurable lung disease and have been on high doses of meds that make it very hard to lose weight. Within 6 months of starting the meds and being inactive I shot up to 312lbs. I am only 5'7" so I was very round. After 2 yrs I talked my Dr. into taking me off some of my meds for a while and I went to a Dr. supervised weight loss clinic. I lost 108
I am 39 yrs. old. In 2001 I was diagnosed with an incurable lung disease and have been on high doses of meds that make it very hard to lose weight. Within 6 months of starting the meds and being inactive I shot up to 312lbs. I am only 5'7" so I was very round. After 2 yrs I talked my Dr. into taking me off some of my meds for a while and I went to a Dr. supervised weight loss clinic. I lost 108 lbs. in 3 months. (All liquid diet Yummy!) When I was only 4 lbs. from being under 200 lbs. (for the first time in a long time) I had to go back on some of the mediction. I did really well for about 2 yrs. I gained back a little but only abour 15 or 20 lbs. Then this past year I had to go back on almost all of my medication. Within 3 months I had gained 65lbs. It was around this time that I started seeing the P90X adds. I would watch them when ever they were on. I even went so far as to DVR it. My wife got the hint and ordered it for me for Christmas. I know about the warnings and I take full responsbility for my actions. :-) I did the fit test on Jan. 1,2008 and to my surprise I passed almost everything. I then degan the program on Jan. 2. I haven't missed a workout. I may not be able to do them as well as I would like, but I am seeing improvements. When I started I was 276lbs and 58% body fat. After a month and a half I am 263lbs and 44% body fat. I still think I need some help tweaking my diet, but I am loveing the program so far. I would appreciate any help from anyone that would like to. thank you
