Just thought I'd start a thread to see where everyone is in the program. I know we have a couple of threads, and probably some new people that might not have found the threads yet.

1st Round, phase 2, starting week 6 tomorrow.

    Round 1 week 3 starts tomorrow.

    Doing the classic program + By plus I mean I am running 3.5 - 5 miles on all of my resistance days (days 1, 3, 5) and either on Kenpo day or rest day.


    Having trouble consuming enough calories. How much is too little?

    I'm not sure, but I know my husband struggles too. Could be why he isn't dropping much weight.

    How tall are you? what does the p90x program have you at?

    Just ordered mine yesterday....waiting for it to arrive and I will get started. I'm sick with a cold so hopefully, I'll be fully recovered by the time it gets here! I'm ready! I will take some before pictures and try to get those up soon (even though I am VERY camera shy)! I'm so glad to have found this board!

    It is awesome! You can order from any Team Beachbody coach (my info in profile if interested). It is $120 and comes with 12 DVD's that will whip you into shape all while working out at home. :bigsmile: I have the P90X chinup bar as well, but I know some people have bought ones at sporting goods stores. Send me a msg if you have more questions! :wink:

    You really need to make sure you're eating enough if your'e running also! Are you training for something or just running because you like it?

    What kind of results is everybody seeing? or not. And how quickly if you do seem them, what what kind of results?? Is it as dramatic as the commercials?

    I have one week left and I'm projecting 42-45 lbs lost with a 20% (from 34% to 14%) bodyfat reduction. I've also dropped from a size 48 jean to a 36.

    I finished week 5 and with following the nutrition plan, I've lost about 5 lb and 2% body fat in just over a month. My clothes fit different and my husband is starting to notice the changes too.

    Well... I am 5'7 and weigh 149. My weight is in the "healthy" range according to BMI charts online. I just gotta get rid of this bit-o-chub around my gut! ;) According to the P90X nutrition guide, my energy level is 2400 (this doesn't include the extra running I' am doing. If so I need to add another 300-500 calories). This is the lowest level 2 possible. I think I must be misunderstanding something because it is just not possible for me to consume 2400 calories in a day without eating some really fattening bad stuff.

    I added up the portion calories for a level 1 and get around 1600 calories. A level 2, if I'm not mistaken, adds up to 2180 calories. This site says I needed 2300 today (I just did yoga on my rest day, at a studio not yoga X) and 2700 yesterday (did kenpo and ran 3.5 mi.). Even if I go and eat a half pint of Ben and Jerry's I will still be at 1353 calories for today, a deficit of 900.

    I've been eating whole grains instead of the whites I used to and have tried to cut back on the pasta dishes, being Italian that is very difficult. I have been drinking GNC's wheybolic extreme 60every morning and thirty min before my workouts and 30 min after. that is juicing up the protein by 180g. I've also been eating a ton of chicken, sick of it already! I am finding conflicting reports online about how much protein is enough/too much.

    Thanks for any help/advice you can offer!

    I quit smoking a couple months ago and started running whenever I had the urge. I started P90X after seeing the results my sister had. She was quite fit to start with, a marathon runner and tri-athlete.

    I'm not training for anything specifically...yet. I am considering running the Chicago marathon with my G/F tin October if I can swing it.

    So to answer your question....I guess I'm running cuz I like it. I figure it will help me burn the chub off that much faster. I don't have a lot, I'm 5'7 and weigh 149. Any advice with regards to protein intake, etc would be appreciated.

    thanks!
