    Pleasantly surprised this morning at weigh-in:

    SW 1/3 191.2
    1/8 192.8
    CW 1/15 190.6

    My body fat measurement is down 1.2% over past 2 weeks and got a comment last night that I look like I lost some weight so that was encouraging. Still have chest/back to do today and then rest day tomorrow. I am starting to feel like a slacker because I notice some of you all are working out morning and night and on rest day so I might have to try to do a little more to keep up!

    Ok week two sucked for me b/c I was so lame with the exercise. I did weigh and have no changes anywhere. :(
    That's what I get.
    Sw: 198
    Cw: 197

    Bring on week 3 and I'm going to kill it.

    W2D6 complete!

    -Kenpo X-

    Definitely a much better workout for me than week 1....I found it helps me bring intensity and release frustration when I imagine kicking some *bleep* in the face! :p Ended up with a great burn as a result...good times!

    Oh.......and I did weigh in this morning.........

    Bad news- it's still the same few pounds I've been struggling with for the last 2 months
    Good news- scale was down almost 3 pounds from last week :)

    So, overall...still the same weight as when I started...but I haven't seen that # for a few weeks after having gained some back...so i was happy about that. Going to keep pushing play & BRINGING IT!!

    :laugh: That's what I do too! It totally helps.

    I did Kenpo today also. My legs are still feeling it from yesterday, so the kicks weren't very pretty, but I got through it. 2 weeks down, 11 to go, yippee!!!

    I would love to join! I just ordered the program today so I will hopefully get it in the mail next week. Do we need weights to do it or just the lift bar and bands?

    You will need weights and a pull up bar. As for joining us, it might be really hard for you because by the time you get the program we are going to be phase 2. If you really wanna join, i will add you, but you will be a bit behind us.

    Well, i was pretty disapointed today. I only lost .08 pounds this week. I worked really hard this week and my diet was good. I guess this means that i'm gaining alot of muscle or it could be that this was the time of the month for me this week. I'm euthusiastic about our final week of Phase 1. I didn't get in core synergistics today but honestly i hate doing X stretch by itself on friday. I really liked it my first week when i did kenpo x and x stretch in one day. I think i am going to do it like that from now on.


    P.S. When we get to recovery week and phase 2, i will be posting new boards. We have a couple of people who have not been checking in and i have a feeling we might have lost them. If i don't get any responds by friday night, i will take you off the list. I will send the following challengers private messages this week as well

    Just finished Core synergistics

    This was by far one of the hardest days for me. I don't know why i was so weak today. I literally felt like i was going to pass out. Maybe this means i should be eating more or something. I think my diet has been good and it hasn't bothered me before. I think i'm gonna have to do some more research on the diet aspect of p90x again.

    I felt the same way just now. But I will attribute it to not working out the past few days. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for you!

    I'm on the lower side of calories unfortunately. I can afford to have that much food in my house as the nutritional guide says to do. my calories is near 1600 a day. I think i am at the point where i am going to start buying protein powder. I am probably gonna pick some up tonight when i go to work. My bf thinks that would be a good idea too.

    The reason I asked is, if you're feeling weak during your workouts and it's hard to get through them, and you're following the plan for Phase 1, you could be "bonking" due to lack of carbs. It's the first thing that popped into my head when I read your post. If it happens for a few days in a row and you find you're struggling, adding a serving of complex carbs should help (like bread, potatoes or rice).

    That said, for anyone doing this program, no matter which schedule or whether you follow the food plan or not - do not undereat!!! Eating at a caloric deficit while doing P90X is not only unrecommended, it's cautioned against. I don't mean to sound preachy nor am I an expert (by any means!!) so I apologize if it comes off that way, but you really do need to eat to succeed with this program. This is my second time around with P90X and food-wise, let me tell you, I was skeptical, especially in the last month when your carb servings go way up (YAY) but that last month was total MAGIC. So if anyone is discouraged by the intensity of the workouts or that the weight isn't coming off as much as you hoped, TRUST THE PROGRAM. If you want inspiration, go search YouTube for body transformations... a big trend I noticed in almost every one I've seen is that the biggest changes happen in the last 5 weeks. I personally noticed almost no difference in my body composition in the first 30 days. Just keep pushing play and bring it!!

    Hey Sarina,

    Are we still checking in this week? My weight is still the same LOL 159lbs but I did lose 2 inches off my thighs and hips, also I'm not really feeling Kenpo so I've been doing Plyo instead. Keep up the good work y'all!!!!

    I am actually starting to really like this workout also!!! It is nice to see improvements in yourself especially after a week of a slight gain on the scale..but don't worry my head is up and it just makes me work harder!!! Let gets this weeks done so we can get to our first relaxing week!!!

    I get fitter for a dress that I am wearing in a wedding in April tomorrow..I told my best friend the bride she might want to wait till closer to time cause I am losing inches and she won't listen..LOL.. I just tell her it will be her fault that the dress will be to big!!! I think I will just have to prove it to her!

    So, I took my measurements and I lost about 7 inches! I think they might be off by an inch or two, but I'll still take 5 inches...so, I'm down with that...WORD!

    W3D1 just done, I tried Core Cardio and Balance from Insanity. It was less intense than the other Insanity DVD's I tried but I still was unable to do everything without a bit of a rest inbetween so I think I still got a good workout in. Slacked a bit on the diet this weekend (the first half of the Steelers game drove me to drink!) so I have to watch that this week before weigh in on Saturday
