    Hi everyone, I'm on week 2, last night I did shoulders & arms. I think I would have done much better if I wasn't still sore from Monday. I used the pull up bar that night and wow was it intense. So intense that it is 3 days later and I'm still a little sore. I like being sore though, it makes me feel that what I'm doing is working. I did not gain any weight in week 1, I was actually down 2 pounds. This week I have stayed the same no ups, no downs, same weight as last week. But I don't really sweat the number on the scale. I learned that frustration the hard way when I did Insanity. I have a completely different take on my workouts now. I do it because I like it and at the end of the day if I lose great, if not whatever, I'm getting stronger and really toning up. Can't lose either way.

    Good luck everyone and stay strong!

    *sigh* I'm so bummed. I gained another 1.4 lbs. And I took my measurements as well. No change other than a slight increase in my arms and chest :sad:

    I hope this turns around! I won't give up though because I love love love to lift :)

    Ohhhh! count me in. Just saw the post, but I am on Day 3 of first recovery week (4th week). So far I've stuck to it except I skipped 2 of 3 Yoga X workout (I know... I am terrible ).

    Target date is Dec 19th (i.e. day 90)

    Bring It!!

    How's everyone been doing? I haven't checked in the past couple days. I've been so busy! Today was my Chest/back day. Hubby and I were gone shopping for new home gym equipment :happy:
    I have my long run tomorrow morning so I'll pick up tomorrow evening with Chest and back! Have a fantastic Sunday MFP/p90x-ers!
    Kelly :flowerforyou:

    p.s. how is everyone doing with Kenpo X and Yoga X???? Are you getting it done? Yoga is the one I have to always "talk" myself into doing! Hee Hee! My hubby seems to love it! At least one of us can concentrate long enough to relax and do yoga and it's NOT ME! LOL!!! :tongue:

    Hi,
    I am enjoying reading the posts on this thread and would love to join. I started 10/2 on the p90x lean program. Only on day 10 due to sickness, but I have done Chest & Back 2x and I still have to do the knee pushups. But the 2nd time, I could actually hold the regular push up stance and lower 1/3 of the way. I was so happy b/c at least it's more than I could do when I took the fitness test! My goal is to be able to do 3 "real" pushups at the end. Hoping I will be able to do a pullup as well! Rejoicing in the baby steps! :-)

    Hey!!!
    I'm still here!! LOL finished the first two weeks with a couple of modifications....this is my 2nd round paying far more attention to diet than last time. Just finished up a block of 12 hour nightshifts which made it really hard to workout. Just didnt have the strength!! Yesterday did Legs and back, today should be rest BUT making up a day so it's off to Cardio land we go!!!
    Have a good sunday!!!

    Love your attitude about the weight - it's really all about how we feel and how we look in our clothes. The scales are irrelevant. Keep at it. Keep getting stronger and fitter and healthier.

    Doing great so far. Today was my Plyo day. Plyo is the workout I have the most trouble with - apparently I don't much like leaving the ground. But I did it. Kenpo X I don't mind, and Yoga X is really pretty good once you get over how long it is. But can I tell you? You know how you get all relaxed at the end and start chanting OM? Well, the minute I open my mouth, my cockapoo sticks her tongue in it! Which totally sets me to laughing - thus destroying the mood. But what the heck. It's fun!

    Have a great Sunday everyone. I'm presently cheering on the Patriots. What 's everyone else doing?

    Don't let the weight gain bother you, especially not at this point in the program. Remember - muscle is heavier than fat but also more compact. Pay attention to how you feel and how your clothes fit. That's what matters.

    I am on week three of my second round of p90x, but am now doing a p90x/insanity hybrid. Has anyone else tried this? I don't find it bad so far, but am dreading when we get to the hour long insanity workouts!

    YES I did it! I have also done 10 weeks Insanity all the way through. Don't worry about the longer workouts. As long as you stick to the 35/40 minute workouts, you will be ready once you get to the longer ones. I actually like the longer workouts and I still do them when I can durning my p90x/running hybrid I am currently doing! Have fun and keep posting your progress! Kelly aka Cyclingdiva :flowerforyou:
