P90X worked great for me. I was in a similar situation 3-4 years ago - 6' 1", and tipped the scales at 245 one day. Decided enough was enough, and started P90X shortly thereafter. I hit it real hard - diligent on the schedule, and even moreso on the diet. I based my diet on the P90X nutrition plan, dropping down the next lower caloric level to encourage weight loss. I stayed under 1800cal/day religiously, if I remember correctly, often a few hundred lower.
It was tough at first, and I hated life that first week or so, but stuck with it. At the end of the 90 days, I was down 30-35lbs (can't remember exactly). It also kicked me into a much healthier lifestyle in general. I've rubber banded around a bit since then, but have continued to lose on the whole - saw 179 on my scale the other day, which was pretty exciting.
I say do it, and go straight to P90X. Just commit to the whole thing - diet is huge.
