In February of 2011 I met this really interesting guy. He was a big guy, but he shared my interest in fitness. In fact we were both doing the same exercise program called P90X.
The one thing about doing P90X is that you do it alone at home. Sometimes it’s nice to have someone to share the experience with. That’s where Randy comes in.
I had posted on a message board that I was looking for some support and camaraderie while doing P90X. Randy responded.
At first, I honestly thought that I had mis-understood him. He had said he lost 70.2 lbs. I didn’t know anyone could lose that much weight doing 1 round of P90X.
So… Randy and I were off and running. We built up a nice group of people in our Message Thread, and we completed several round of P90X, P90X2 and now we are both starting Body Beast.
Last fall, while heading to Florida on family vacation, I stopped and visited my friend Randy at his home in Georgia. You could tell he lost weight just because of how much his clothes were hanging loose on him. Big baggy tshirt. Jeans cinched up with a belt. Honestly pretty impressive to see how much he’s shrunk.
At the time, he still had weight to lose. I haven’t seen him since then, but when I do see him next, I may not recognize him. He has gone on to lose a total of 191lbs. YES that’s right! 191lbs.
He’s totally ripped now!
He even has a 6-Pack.
Beyond all his personal success, Randy recently won the Team Beachbody Challenge for August 2012. He won a nice cash prize and is eligible to continue on to the Quarterly and Annual Beachbody Challenge contests. Check out his winning entry here.
Randy is now a Beachbody Coach, and is helping others get started with the same programs and strategies that he used. I strongly recommend that you follow him! He is walking the walk. If you need to lose weight or want to get totally ripped. Why not follow the example Randy has set? He has done it. He went from 362 lbs to a ripped 171 lbs. All in just a little over a year.
Want to get in shape or lose some weight? Already own P90X or thinking about getting it? Join our Message Thread. Yes… Randy and I still post to the same thread we started with back in February 2011. Although now we use Facebook a lot more.
Want to talk to Randy? I know he’d love to hear from you. You can reach him on Facebook or on his Blog.
Thanks Jeff, for all you did to keep me pushing play! This was a team event and I could not have done it without the support I received from many different arenas.
Congrats my brother!!
