    wel I did it a year and a half ago and my BF% went from 22% to 15% around the start of the second 90 days for me. I got mine off craigslist for a fraction of the cost...so a no brainer if you like to workout at home...three kiddos...no time for a gym membership here

    I did my own nutrition plan as well 45%Protein/30%carbs/25%fat. Only used the workouts not the nutrition they suggest....didn't even read that little booklet. But it has a nice program....now I mix up some Zumba Xbox, taebo and running for my cardio.


    It all depends on how much you put into it.

    I've been going at it for 7 weeks and I've lost around 10 pounds, but I feel so much more stronger and healthier. For the most part, it has been an excellent experience.

    I've logged my progress daily if you want to check it out:

    It does work but most of the youtube transformation videos are fake. Don't expect it to happen to you in 3 months. A lot of the people who make the 3 month youtube P90x videos have secretly been through the program 2 , 3, or 4 times. I'm coming up to my 2nd time completing the program (this time with a few gym sessions of my own thrown in) and only now do I actually have a visible 6 pack. Perhaps I was naive in the beginning watching these transformation videos but at least it got me on the right path to getting into good physical shape.

    Success is about the effort, not the method. If you think P90X will help you put in the time and do the work, then it could be great.

    But if you dont do the work, then it's no different than the gym membership you don't use or the ruuning shoes collecting dust in your closet.

    This is what I was going to say until I got to where it was already posted.

    Effort is (almost) all you need. You certainly don't need P90X, and it certainly can't make you work out or give you determination required to succeed.
