I am towing the same line brother. So far, 27 pounds in 3 or 4 months. Started at over 225 and am down to 198 with another 30 or 40 to lose.
I am cheating tho'. Levothyroxine at 100mcg per day. Good diet. And little excercise.
I started with P90X but, that **** is insane.
Not at all trying to burst your bubble, but as hard as the P90X is you should try insanity. Insanity is truly an imazing workout that uses no weights. Me and a buddy do a P90X/Insanity hybrid work out that is really killer.
Alas I have a hard time loosing the belly flab too, but I can run 2 Miles in 13:25
