    Hi there 207alicia,

    Your 2400 kcals. Is that 1800 plus the 600 from the P90X workout or is that 2400 kcals and then an additional 600 on top to make 3000 kcals daily?

    Hi Adam, I was told by my trainer that if I followed the P90X plan at level 2, phase one that it would amount to approx 2400 calories. I had decided to start using the myfitnesspal while following the program as I felt I needed more control over my eating. I've just started tracking the past few days. Yesterday I tracked while following the program and here's how it broke down. (I think the 2400 includes the exercise?)
    2401 ate
    2139 goal (w/ exercise? I think that's included in the second line of our end of day, right?)
    -262 over goal
    23 carbs left
    2 fat left
    93 protein OVER! (Yay! I've been struggling getting enough on the program. I think this was good.)

    Have you all discovered the p90xcalories.com? Very cool. I may have heard of it on here.

    :)

    I have been thinking of doing P90X for a while. I went on Craigslist today, and a person has an unopened box of P90X that I am purchasing/picking up tomorrow for just $50. I will be opening it before I give her the money, though!

    I just started my second month of P90x, although my first month was a little iffy on commitment. I'm following the Lean plan. I plan on doing a second cycle on Classic after I'm complete.

    I would love love love a bigger support group, and some motivation to keep going.

    Well I got an email from the Craigslist contact - her husband already sold it. :(
    Oh well, I will keep fishing Craigslist for a good deal on it!

    Today I'm doing day 3 of classic so i'll be doing shoulders & arms and ab ripper. Feel free to add me (anyone) for support/motivation. Every time I've started P90x i've never completed a full cycle so that's my goal this time around is to just complete it. Looking forward to doing this cycle with you guys!

    I am actually in my 7th week of P90x/Insanity Hybrid and I love it. I have a support group on FB for both P90x and Insanity if any of you like to join. Message me. Good luck to you all starting. You will love it. Make sure you eat enough calories and follow the meal plan. Make sure that you eat/drink something for recovery. I love the P90x recovery drink. It taste like an Orange Julius. I am more than willing to help any of you.

    I plan on starting P90X soon. I've been holding on to my DVDs for a few days now, without actually starting. I think I'm more scared of the committment. I'm a full time student and I work part-time, so I'm scared I'll push it to the side and quit. I'm only 4'11 so I'm not planning on bulking up or anything, have most of you that have tried it seen good results? How long does it take to notice a difference?

    Feel free to add me! :D

    I have started to try out the P90x workouts while I finish ChaLean Extreme. I was wondering if anyone can make recommendations on resistance bands to use instead of the pull up bar. I don't have a place to put the bar in my basement where I work out.
    If so, I'd love to hear what brands you have found to be good quality. Thank you!
