Tony Horton Recruits Morbidly Obese Woman For P90X

That’s right folks. The man behind the program that I ‘supposedly’ knocked in ‘this post’ has mentioned today that he wants to transform the morbidly obese into muscle bound freaks.
He stated that, since finding success with P90X and changing the lives of so many, he now needed to find a new challenge, but he just couldn’t figure out what that challenge could be. He said that this idea came to him after he watched this program.
‘Why not do the impossible…’
‘Why not help the morbidly obese burn fat and build muscle!’
‘It may take a while until you see my first success story, but as we all know, challenges exist so that we can overcome them. I believe I can help these people do just that.’
He did state that he would have to create some kind of ‘Pre-P90X’ plan for these individuals, as their situations are quite unique. What’s unique here?
These people are FAT because they like to eat too much FOOD!
Whatever the case is, Tony Horton has now found new inspiration for 2010 and beyond, and one of the first individuals he wishes to reach out to is the lady in the video. Her name is Lisa Sellers and at the height of her ‘Food addiction’ she was consuming,
33000 calories… per day!
And she became morbidly obese because of this. I say… good luck Tony. You got your work cut out for you. That’s for sure!
The second set of people he wishes to target are kids, like this ‘then’ 7 year old.
He states that this is an entirely different goal as the challnges are very different.
- Dealing with parents and how they feed their kids
- Diet plans and weight loss only (Too young to build muscle the adult way)
Let’s just see what happens with this as this story ‘and idea’ develops. It could be another P90X success story, or just too much weight for Tony Horton to carry (pun intended). We will just have to see.
Bugs Out!

P90X helped me get back in shape in a big way. The reality is that as a society we have become conditioned to do things the easy way (fast food); lay around on the couch watching TV (no exercise there); and drink, drink, drink (wine, beer, you name it)… No one cooks anymore (let’s hope Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution on ABC can open some eyes) and we stuff ourselves with huge portions of terrible food – all to put money in the coffers of MacDonald’s, Jack In The Box, Pizza Hut, etc.
If anyone can help get the morbidly obese to “get their minds’ right” it is Tony Horton. It is a simple equation that does not alter – you have to burn more calories than you take in or else you will put on weight! I wish him only success!

Well Put. The only problem right now is that Jamie Oliver is getting the opposite treatment that I thought Obama convinced everyone to do… to adapt to change. The equation you mentioned is simple on paper, but much more difficult in reality to execute for most people. I myself have tried to force that same way of thinking with this weeks motivational posts.
Hello, I got a question for you?? Well, I’m 34 yrs old, 6’4, 270 lbs, and I would like to know what exercises that are body weight only that can increase my strength, but not my size. Also, I would like to lose about 35 to 40 lbs, while trying to increase my speed. Last, how do I get past the plateau that I’m in, I was 298 before I started back working out. Is there a workout plan for me?
Hi Terry
Thank you for commenting.
In regards to bodyweight exercises, almost all bodyweight exercises will help you increase strength first and foremost over gaining size. So that is strength + lean muscle mass. Bulking comes when you start to perform weight assisted bodyweight exercises. You can grab the FREE bodyweight exercise report here…

I started P90x June 12 2012 I am on day 36.
i am getting great results. I am only 14 but I am also 5 ft tall and 170 (Starting Weight) Lost quite a bit.. 
You should try it. It seems like a lot. But, it’s really not when you get into it.. I love it, it’s became my Lifestyle now.. 
I say that if your obese and really have or want to lose some pounds and inches, this is the way to go people! 
Plus the ShakeO is great.
