in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone, I'm Kristen! I'm starting P90X3 this Sunday. I have attempted P90X before but never stuck with it long enough. But this time I'm determined to suceed! >:o I would love to connect with more people doing this program and to get some great recepie ideas.I struggle with the nutrition part the most. I'm a perfectionist, so it I mess up on that, I end up stressing really hard. Im starting my journey at age 26, 5.6, 161. My goal is to just look amazing! Lol. Umm, what else... I live in Kansas, love my kitties, love my boyfriend and would love to have more friends to support and get support from as I make my way to becoming heather.

    Hi Mystic Moon:

    I started P90X3 about 11 days ago. Feel free to add me as a friend. I am about the same height and weight as you.

    Hey, guys! I'm 7 weeks into P90. I'm definitely stronger, but I haven't lost weight, which is a bit frustrating. I've used Weight Watchers to track food for the past 12 years, but had sort of gotten lazy with it. I thought this program might help me be a bit more accountable, and it would do a better job of keeping track of carbs, protein, etc., which is so essential during P90X. We have a great group here in Oak Ridge, TN, and that makes it fun! Best of luck to all!

    7 weeks!? Keep it up! You have probably just gained enough muscle that your not seeing a change on the scale. But im sure your looking different. I love this app, it is so easy and helpful. That's awesome that you have a great support group!

    Congrats on P90X3. I did 8 weeks of P90X last fall until time got me. I was super excited over P90X3 being 30mins and did 8 weeks from Jan through early march. I lost 15lbs that stayed off. I started a second round of P90X3 and I am currently finishing week 8 with a good portion of it doing the doubles program. I am determined to finish the whole thing. I am only down an additional 5lbs at this point, but I almost down a second waist size and feeling stronger. So I am guessing the weight loss will really hit in the last 4 weeks of dedicated sustained efforts. Overall, I find P90X3 easier to stick with :)

    Also, don't feel bad about modifying. I was doing pushups from my knees for a bit. I am now doing most from my feet.
    Also, I bought a real pullup bar (Trapeze Rigging since the door type didn't work for me) and I can tell you it makes a big difference over the bands. I am still doing a 1-legged assist but I could only get #53 lbs of the Bodylastic bands safely in the door.

    Best of luck on your journey to BRING IT!
