Not P90x but insanity. It was broken down into 2 4wk sessions. I knocked out the first session. It was a workout. Lost around 15 lbs, everybody said my body looked much thinner.

Then my wife and I had a child and my spare time went out the window. It required basically an hour a day/6 days a week.

why would I be balding? I can absolutely guarantee I will never bald. The other stuff, perhaps.

Sure about that? No history of it in your family? It's inherited on the mother's side so look at your grandfather/uncle.

And drinking doesn't help.

Thanks to mother nature, at least I'm getting some workouts in. :cuss:

Oh, I'm positive. Mom's dad had a full head of hair his entire life, my dad full head of hair ... I have to get a haircut every two freaking weeks because my hair grows too fast.

It's one thing I never have to worry about.

I've seen those two lumped together while scouring for the obligatory weight loss inspiration vids/pics. I found all of the p90x vids/manuals/diets online and am going to give it a shot. I assume that because of my back, I will miss out on some of the exercises but I will figure out an alternative.

Maybe I will cycle Insanity after the 90 days to change it up a bit, depending if I can find their vids online as well.

Make the wifey watch the kiddo and get to workin' out! :) I think I actually saw a video where the guy was working out with the baby on his back.

Let me know if you want to try insanity. I can ship the disks to you. I don't know how to make copies or I'd do that. Just send em back when you're done.

Insanity is tougher on the knees. A lot more jumping. I didn't eat healthy during it, only less and I lost 15 doing it.

Bullshit. I lost 180lbs drinking a 6 pack of Pepsi Max a day. Couldn't hurt to try, right?

I spreadsheet that bitch up. Weigh every night.

I did P90X. Hurt my shoulder early on and that hobbled me quite a bit. P90X is an hour and a half min. Insanity is a faster. Insanity has a lot of impact. A lot. P90X is a lot more controlled and probably easier on your back.

Really though it doesn't do much without changing diet. Get in the Fitness thread. Those guys can help you a ****load more than I can. They say you can't outwork a bad diet. They're right.

I meant for this thread. Does everyone want to track weight monthly in the OP.

sounds incredibly obvious but the best 2 things you can do for weight loss is:

No refined sugars

Exercise

=

Profit

I am in for this.

This is a nice beginner's workout guide with videos.

I think a monthly report would be a good thing. I weigh weekly on Mondays, but for the purpose of this thread I think it would probably work. Up to the OP though.

If it is tough on the knees I will definitely have trouble. But once the weight is down, I am sure I could give it a shot.

I am in Central America so shipping would probably cost as much as buying the program but I am absolutely amazed by your offer. I sometimes forget how kind and classy this board can be. (Mr. Flopnuts and Yourself have more common courtesy than most people I know in "real" life) So, thank you very much for that offer! :thumb:
