    26 years old, living in Florida. I started P90X in October but lost motivation when the holidays came around. Started it up again two weeks ago and intend to finish it this time. I know a few people who have completed it, and every one of them had an awfully impressive visual transformation.

    I'm glad a simple bit of advice helps you -- it sure helped me. I was angry, frustrated, feeling that pit of my stomach feeling about looking and weighing the same after a whole dratted month! Even with the performance gains I was in a dark place. But it was so eerie how right the guy was, he almost nailed it exactly when I could actually really start to see the results of the hard work.

    I'm halfway through week 3 now, and if all goes according to what I saw last year during that round, I am halfway to where the results should start popping. It is my motivation right now.

    For any of you who might need this reminder: please, please, please don't eat 1200 calories a day and do this program. You *will* burn out and wear down, and fast. MFP default profiles for food intake need to be questioned. Look up things like BMR (basic metabolic rate), read up on that, and do the math for your body size, shoot for a few hundred calorie deficit from what the calculations tell you (unless a weight loss deficit is already built in!). In the calculations, use your current weight, not your goal weight. Later you can always do minor adjustments by recalculating as your weight drops 10 or 15 lbs or more. I didn't bother with adjustments too much, myself -- may make more sense for someone who drops 30, 50 or more lbs to readjust.

    Shoulders & Arms tonight...my favourite!

    Made it through week 2, day 1 (chest and back). I did better on most things than the last time around-that's good. What's up with those dive bombers? Is it crazy that I can't even do one? I definitely have room to improve on that exercise.

    Hey all, just checked the group :) I am getting scared lol I am from SF, CA and already tried once p90x but gave up after 3 days :) I am wondering how far I will get this time. I really want to do it for the total of 90 days. I still want to lose 9 kg which is I believe around about 19 lbs.
