Joshua has let the blessing of his son be an inspiration to get in shape and get healthy. He was over 300 lbs when he learned that he would be a Dad, and he was determined to enjoy a long and healthy life, playing with his son and having the energy to keep up! He’s made a long term commitment to Power 90, P90X, and P90X Plus, and boy has it made a change! Way to go Josh! That’s a perfect example of deciding what matters in life and making the changes to commit to those things that matter. You were inspired by your son, and now you are an inspiration to us! Awesome job man!
Joshua’s story in his own words:
“I have struggled with my weight pretty much since graduating high school. My sophomore year of college is when I really started to pile on weight, and by my Junior year of college I had gone from 190 pounds at high school graduation to about 315 pounds. My weight has fluctuated back and forth, but I haven’t been below 245 pounds since letting my weight get out of control. I’ve tried different diets and had some success, but the weight always came back. I never truly committed.
In November of 2009 I found out that my wife was pregnant. I decided that it was time to get healthy for my then unborn son. I do not want to be a lazy father that is unable to play with his children, and I want to be on this Earth as long as possible. Since committing to change, I have lost around 67 pounds and I am still going strong. I’ve lost 9″ around both my waist and hips, 5″ around my chest, and 5″ around each thigh. I’m currently around 15% body fat.
I plan to keep pushing hard and continue on my fitness journey. I love being active and I feel great. I would ultimately like to get to around 6-8% body fat. I believe I can reach that goal in the not too distant future.
Thanks Wayne,
Josh”
