    Well, I figured that was my sign :)

    My question to you all is are you doing the exact nutrition and all the workouts to receive the results of can you adjust the program a bit to your individual lifestyle. I'm concerned about the nutrition portion of the program. (don't have it yet but I will be getting it)

    I don't have it but a few of my friends do and I've seen pics of the before/afters on this very forum, and it's hardcore! They get so toned.

    I'm following the nutrition loosely.
    I'm a long distance runner, with a BAD HABIT of eating poorly, so I don't look like a long distance runner!
    I need more then one carb a day when I'm running.

    Got P90X today!!! Going to do a bit of reading first and then start the 1st DVD. I've considered asking my son if he wants to join in with me.

    I probably won't be following the diet to a T as I can be a picky eater.....I'll post more when I start using it!

    I don't follow the eating plan. I just eat what I want and make sure I balance myself out and eat the healthier choices and eat proper portion sizes.

    I am a P90x graduate and have done the Insanity workout for 60 days. I have just started a P90x/Insanity hybrid. I have lost less than 10 pounds, but transformed my body.

    I have a HRM ... never thought to use it!/
    I use it for running. Would it work for something like this?
    I didn't think it would give an accurate calorie burn on weight reps ....
    Maybe I'm wrong?
    Besides ... the benefit of muscle is that it burns calories when at rest - WOHOO to that!

    i use my hrm for all my exercise well not my 10000 steps but any lifting or cardio work its not alway perfect sometimes it goes off line when lifting but i still use its numbers for calories burned during exercise i think its show intensity i could do 3/4 squats half hearted you could do squats like you mean it claories burned would be the same if you just used a formula but our hrm would tell a better truer story

    Hey all! :)

    My name's Sara and I was browsing through the message boards and came across this thread...it's perfect timing!!! I, too, am doing P90X (just started on Monday 1/3), and could definitely use some accountability partners!!! I've always been that girl that LOVES to work out, but I'm always looking for something different. I must have a short attention span or just get distracted easily haha. I tried P90X before, but I never did it all the way through. I would just pick a workout here and there...I don't even think I ever finished a FULL week's worth of workouts!!! Over the new year, I was thinking about ways to make 2011 MY year, and I decided that one of my goals is go actually FINISH something. So, I decided that something is going to be P90X this time! :) Woo Hoo! My planned end date is supposed to be April 3, so I'm REALLY hoping I can make that. Who knows with unforseen circumstances, so I'm planning on my end date being sometime during that week. Right in time to go to Vegas! ;)

    Anyway, about the nutrition plan: I know a lot of people that don't follow the plan to the T, but I do know that it's really important to at least keep the portions of fat/carbs/protein/etc as close to the plan as possible. This is because the different phases of the plan coordinate with the different phases of the workouts. I'll be honest, I do not follow the nutrition plan that was givin, BUT I do make sure that I'm eating way more protein than fat and carbs right now.

    About the HRM: I also use mine during the workouts!! My caloric burn hasn't been very high, but it won't be with lifting weights. I just do it to see what my HR gets up to, not necessarily for the calories. :)

    I'd love to keep posting on here and seeing everyone's journeys! :) Keep up the good work!
