Has anyone tried P90? Is this a good starting point for a beginner?

So, I have lost about 70 pounds and I am close to my goal. However, I have lost most of this weight with minimal exercise. Despite losing most of the weight, I am not satisfied with my body. I am not very toned and still have a small belly. I know, at this point, I need to incorporate exercise in order to build muscle and tone up, but I am at a loss at where to begin.
I have tried a couple different programs (Body Revolution, T25, ect) and while I do them for a few days I eventually give up, usually because I have a hard time keeping up with the workouts.
I just stumbled upon P90 which appears to be an intro of sorts to fitness and acts as a starter program to the more advanced workouts out there. I am wondering if this would be a good place for me start and will help ease me into more advanced workouts. However, I am worried that this program will be too easy for me and I will grow bored and not get much out of it.
Has anyone tried this program? If so, would you recommend it?
Also, if anyone has any other programs or ideas that might work for me, I would love to hear them as well. I am open to all suggestions.
If it matters, I am a 23 year old male, 5'10 and 160 pounds.
Thank you!

The original Power 90 is one of the best beginner focused workout programs out there. They gave it an update and made it into P90 because people got bored easily with the Power 90 workouts since the entire schedule consisted of rotating the same 2 workouts for 45 days, then switching to another 2 slightly more difficult workouts for the second 45 days. The updated version shortened the workouts down to about 30 minutes and gives you more variety. But it also ramped up the difficulty a little bit because there is a greater emphasis on moves that require a high degree of coordination, so if that's a weak point of yours, it may not be the best route. The original Power 90 though is a great program.0
