Just starting the p90x plan and wondering if anybody has any tips or stories.
Not doing the p90x dvds - switched to Chalean because just not in shape enough at this point to complete the p90x. I am doing the fat shredder level 1 with only 1 snack instead of 2 and no bar in order to keep calories within limit.

    I started the P90X plan about 2 weeks ago. When you plan it out, try to balance your "large" meals as best you can. Maybe even make your snacks a little bigger. I've found that I'm hungry a few times throughout the day and then stuffed for dinner. Doing a re-work this weekend to rearrange that. I can say that I've had enough energy to do my P90X workouts so the food choices must be the right ones. Overall, I like how simple the plan is and how it keeps my energy levels balanced. I would like a little more variety.

    I made a checklist to mark off the food groups as I eat them and a sample meal plan just to make it easy. Looks like dinners might me the most difficult because it will basically be protein and veggies because I am eating my carbs at breakfast. Thought this would be good though to have energy throughout the day. I have counted calories without much success I think because even though I stay within my calories I tend to make unhealthy choices like 100 cal pack cupcakes. Hoping this will help me realign my eating habits. So hard to give up the sugar !!!

    Yeah, it's really hard to give up the sugar. Yesterday we had an office birthday so of course there was cake & ice cream that I had to decline. Made me a little cranky lol.

    Sounds like your planning is rounding out the way mine did. I end up with proteins & veggies for dinner. I feel like the fat shredder building blocks is a LOT of protein. Because my calorie goal was 200 less than the middle level plan, I took out 2 proteins and I still feel like it's a lot of protein.

    Good luck with yours! Here's to our success *cheers*

    Thanks for the encouragement. I am going to have a protein shake each day to try to get in the protein because I am not a huge meat eater. As long as it works I will be happy! Just tried of counting calories and not losing the weight.
