My weight has ballooned up to 255 from my rather comfortable 220ish that I had been previously. (FYI I am 6'4")
In an effort to take back my self respect and be able to play games with my son without getting winded, I decided that I am going to start working out and eating right again. I would love to get your kids feedback on this plan to see how I can improve it (or if I am doing too much or eating too little).
My diet will be a high protein, low carb, low calorie diet consisting of mainly chicken, eggs, green veggies and protein shakes. I have done it before with success and know that my daily intake is 1200 calories, 160g protein, 12g of carbs. I also take dietary fiber to keep me regular along with plenty of water to keep me hydrated.
My workouts will consist of a quick morning workout (2 mile run and some calisthenics-based resistance training) and the evening workout will be mainly the P90X regimen. I have done this combination previously as well with success, but would love to hear your thoughts before I dive back into it.
Blast away.

Your situation is a lot like mine a few years ago. I used P90X to get back into shape. It worked well, but I got reamed pretty good on here for doing it that way. Since then, like most of the guys on here, I've experimented with different programs and techniques.
Like NewChief said, I've found that there are more efficient ways to work out, but P90X has some great workouts (Plyometrics is an outstanding workout) and it will get you back into shape. You're just going to spend an hour or more with each workout.
Good luck & feel free to ignore Lewdog. He's an ignorant little bitch.
