P90X Success Story (Jeremy Yost)
P90X Success Story of Extreme Weight Loss
Jeremy’s amazing P90X success story is another one about extreme weight loss. I wrote about Richard Neale’s extreme P90X results here. Jeremy started his P90X journey at 375 pounds. This number is only an estimate because the maximum weight that home scales can read don’t go beyond 350 pounds. In total, Jeremy dropped over 175 pounds during his body transformation. He did this through incredible persistence and a huge dose of consistency.
I don’t know what possessed a person in Jeremy’s condition to even attempt a program such as P90X. The program was designed for people who are already fit, but want to get to the next level. I really have to give mad props to Jeremy for his achievement. He showed more grit and determination than 99% of people I know. He also had superhuman patience because it didn’t all happen for him overnight. He went through six rounds of P90X in order to lose that much weight. Six rounds of P90X in case you’re wondering is eighteen months. He started off not being able to do any of the jumping exercises in the program because it’s not easy to launch 375 pounds into the air. Whatever he could do, he did. Whatever he couldn’t, he modified. Instead of jumping jacks, Jeremy marched in place.
To really see how far Jeremy has come, Check him out in P90X2 Balance and Power. He was one of the fitness demonstrators in this workout. He actually crushed Tony in one of his own exercises with a stability ball. That was pretty fun to watch.
Finding Your Personal “WHY?” Is the Key to P90X Success
How did Jeremy find the motivation to make the transformation from grossly obese to ripped? With the power of one simple question. A friend asked him if he was worried that another man would have to raise his kids. In Jeremy’s physical state, this question was not a hypothetical. It had real meaning. Jeremy saw the full implication of his unhealthy life staring at him. So he started to make a list of all the reasons why he should change his life and all the reasons why not. Not surprisingly, the “yes” list filled up almost two pages while the “no” list barely amounted to a single paragraph.
Jeremy understood that he was sacrificing all the things he wanted in life, such as sticking around to raise his children and being a good husband, for the things that had no consequence. Checking out of life and gorging on bad food didn’t seem like such a great deal when compared to all the things he could gain if he started taking better care of himself. Jeremy said something that really stuck with me: “You can give up just one hour each day to workout, and the remaining 23 hours you can live three times as much life.” Truth.
The rest is history. After Jeremy lost all the weight, he became a Team Beachbody coach so he could help others achieve their own health and fitness transformation. I think it was Jeremy who coached Richard Neale through losing over 200 pounds. Now Richard is doing the same–paying it forward by helping others. This is what it means to be part of the Team Beachbody network—people helping other people reach their goals and find their dreams. Beachbody’s products work if you follow them, but sometimes you just need someone to help you along when you have a hard time seeing the light. Sometimes you need a kick in the ass!

P90X Success Story (Richard Neal)
P90X Success Story: Extreme Weight Loss
I was in the audience this weekend at the Beachbody Summit for coaches when it was announced that Richard was the male Grand Prize winner of the 2012 Beachbody Challenge contest. It was probably one of the most emotional moments I have experienced with someone I had never met before. The speech he gave made everyone well up and brought goosebumps to my skin. I was feeling a little embarrassed at being so emotional, but when I looked around, I saw a bunch of grown men and women wiping tears from their faces, too. I never cry in public, but it was impossible not to be moved by his story of courage, conviction, and commitment.
It’s incredibly hard for me to wrap my head around the full extent of Richard’s achievement. For some people, losing 50 pounds is a miracle. That being the case, Richard achieved four miracles because he shed a total of 200 pounds in thirteen months. Let’s put this in perspective-I weigh about 155 pounds. That means he lost an equivalent of me plus 45 pounds for good measure. So, for most of his adult life, Richard had been carrying around the equivalent of a full grown man on his frame everyday, all the time. That’s pretty brutal wear and tear on the body. When I lift heavy weights or go hiking with a heavy backpack, I can put them to the ground when I’m done and walk away. Not people like Richard. He had to carry that extra weight with him all the time. Just the thought of going up a flight of stairs with a 200 barbell makes my legs melt, but that was his life for many years. Here’s the craziest part–he could not weigh himself with a regular scale. He had to go to a metal scrap yard in order to see how much he weighed.
But no more. Richard finally got sick of being “the fat guy” and decided to take matters in his own hands. He took action. He purchased Power90 (but later transitioned to P90X). Unlike most people, though, he used his workout program instead of letting it collect dust on his shelf. Additionally, he revamped his eating habits. Dropped the crappy greasy stuff and started to eat foods which fueled his body instead of killing it. He made health and fitness a lifestyle.
When I was listening to Richard talk about his P90X success story, it struck me how vitally important the mission of Beachbody has become. Richard was among a growing number of Americans who are morbidly obese. More than two-thirds of all adults in this country are in that category. The trend line looks more bleak each year. However, Beachbody is the only health and fitness company that creates products, services, and programs that actually work. Richard and tens of thousands of people across the country are proof of that. No gimmicks. No magic pills or potions. And no bullshit.
Tony Horton was also in the audience that night. I can only imagine the pride he had in creating a product that can change another person’s life in such a profound way. Richard looked at Tony and thanked him personally for giving him a new life. If Tony was like the rest of us, he probably had wet eyes, too. We often times think fitness in terms of vanity such as sporting a six-pack, but Richard’s transformation story demonstrates that it is about living a better life.
Richard’s P90X success story also changed my attitude and made it more uncompromising. I am now even less tolerant of excuses and cop-outs. If this guy, who has been obese all his life can manage to lose 200 freaking pounds in thirteen months, then anyone should be able to do just one quarter of what he achieved. It’s just a matter of deciding that you no longer want to live a crappy life, committing to a program to change it, and succeeding by using the tools at your disposal.

P90X Success Story (Greg)
There are literally thousands of P90X stories. If you visit YouTube, there’s no shortage of folks eager to share how P90X helped to change their lives. Still, Greg’s story is nothing less than amazing. Going from morbidly obese (a “walking heart attack,” his doctor said) to ripped is damned hard. Check yourself for a heartbeat if you aren’t at least a little moved by Greg’s courage and determination. He Lost 87 pounds and developed a sculpted physique from consistently and persistently pressing play. People like him motivate me to try just a little harder each time I work out.

P90X Success Story (Paul)
I can relate to Paul’s story because I was almost exactly at the same place as he was when I started P90X–bloated, lethargic, listless, and very unhappy about the state of my physical health. Like Paul, I know how it feels to be revitalized. What he says bears repeating: “P90X just works.”
