    I wondered if that might be my problem. I'll try to eat more....I can't believe I just said that! LOL

    Thanks!!

    Anyone else got any advice?? I need all I the advice I can get.....

    You've dropped 8 lbs since the beginning but are you consistently dropping sizes? That is the key.

    A lot of people focus on the weight but if you drop 3 pant sizes, that means a lot. Body fat loss is the key.

    I've always jokingly said 'I don't care if I weigh 320 if I have a 32" waist and 4% bodyfat." :laugh:

    Have you set your own MFP percentages to mesh with p90x? I think the first phase was 50% protein and 30% carb, phase 2 is 40% of protein and carb. I'm not 3 yet so I haven't worried about it but I know it's really high carb.

    How do you set your percentages on MFP? I want to do that for my second round.

    go into home, goal, custom - it should take you the page with the nutrients and you just change the percentages on each group.

    It makes the nutrition so much easier. My hubby counts portions, I just type what I have planned for meals/snack then I know what I need to eat more of to fill it all in.

    Thanks a lot. I had heard you could do that but couldn't find where to set it.

    I set MFP to mesh with p90x. It is sooo much easier to than portion control. Please let me know what phase three is once you figure it out. Thanks so much for the advice!!

    I'm glad that's working for you. I don't know if I could do it if I didn't have it set on here. My husband is doing the portion control, but I'd never be able to remember what fit as what each day.

    Here's a link to the nutrition guide.

    There's another tread on here that's a great resource too. p90x - starting a new thread is the title I think. We're on part 3, but soon to be 4.
