I still hated taking my shirt of in public because I was pale and pudgy. P90x and crossfit tempted me with all of the testimonials. I got as far as friends lending me their p90x DVDs.But just as I was about to make my leap and start doing it, I had been scared into changing my eating habits. I started seeing my waist shrink and my belt move a notch. Did more reading around fine tuning what was working and fell into something pretty identical to the Paleo/Primal diet, kind of strict about it 80/20.I shed 35 lbs in 9 months with zero exercise (and maintaining a full 10 months more now after hitting this level). My GERD stopped. My headaches stopped. I stopped snoring. My back aches stopped. Mental fog is gone and I have energy all day long. Plus I never get hungry immediately after eating, I can easily go 14-18 hours without eating and not be ravenously hungry. I couldn't have ever tried intermittent fasting before the change in diet, now I willingly IF 2-4x a week.I don't see much of a need for me to try P90x to hit the weight loss target anymore, diet alone did it for me. I certainly don't need the spike to my cortisol levels it would almost assuredly bring. I might revisit P90x to mine it for a strength routine I could do 2-3x per week for 30 minutes. I'm also looking to MovNat as an option.[edit] Excellent photo of the progress! Congrats!</blockquote>
