The Original Power 90 Check In?

I'm on day 31 of P90 and really enjoying it. I've lost 12 lbs so far. I haven't hit the tape recently but I do notice that my clothes are loose and I'm wearing some shirts that hadn't left the closet in years. Friends told me about the P90X program but I'm glad I started with this one since I was pretty out of shape a month ago.

I've been following the workout calendar faithfully but not been as fastidious with their nutrition plan. I'm consciously eating healthier foods and smaller portions 5 times a day and holding true to eating breakfast and never 3 hrs prior to bedtime. My goal has been 1200-1400 Calories per day and MFP has helped tremendously.

I still have some work to do in the pushup area and doing dips but hope to have it all worked out in the next 2 weeks before I move up to Sweat & Scult 3/4 levels.

Glad to hear from you guys!
hasain girl, don't feel bad about what they said. They just dont understand what you are about to begin. Though P90x is rediculously hard I hear for those not athletically inclined. Thated be me. So I havent even tried it. P90 is hard enough. Its paying off though. 14lbs off and really loose clothing!

Well thank you very much hasiangirl! I hope you enjoy your stay here with us on MFP! What is everyone's weigh in day? Mine is on Tuesdays. Maybe we could post our losses. What you guys think?

I have both Power 90 an dP90X but I am starting off with Power 90(AGAIN) Hopefully this time around I will follow it better than last time. I am super excited to have a support from yall! I really need the motivation! I have a crazy work schedule and I tend to use that as an excuse as to why I do not workout. So for reals this time, I start today!

Thanks NykkieZ

I actually have a question and anyone please feel free to answer it. Okay so when doing the Power 90 or the P90x What days should I rest? Do I get days to rest? Or do I need to workout straight through? I just want to hear what yall are doing so I can kind of get an idea of what I should do. I mean don't get me wrong I like to workout:yawn: but I do need a break or else I will feel burned out.

NykkieZ, I have already killed 80 ounces of water by 4:00pm. So that can't be a challenge! I tend to sweat too much for that. Maybe some motivation to check in at least once or twice a week would be ok.

My rest day is the entire weekend. I really workout rediculously hard. I can't hardly move when I get done. Then I eat breakfast and protein. Then I am off to a long hard days work as a forklift tech. So I can justify this. Others, not so much.

Oh and I appreciate the effort on everyones behalf for sticking with it!!!

Hello all fellow P90 users. I have not posted on here before but I am on day 21 which I have heard is one of the hard days to get past. When I started and I got to my 7th day which is supposed to be the rest day I felt good so went ahead and kept going. I knew there would be days that I just wouldn't be able to force myself to work out and somehow I knew it probably wouldn't coincide with my rest day. I was right. In the three weeks I have been doing the program I have not worked out three days so it still evens out one rest day a week just not necessarily the 7th day. I say listen to your body but make sure you are still pushing play consistently and you will see progress. I have had a problem with my shoulder for the past six months and I couldn't even do one push up on day one. Instead I did a wall push off if you know what I mean. After two weeks of pushing off the wall I was able to do some floor push-ups. I am still having some issues with the close push-ups and swinging my leg through for power yoga on one side because of the pressure it puts on my one arm but I have lost weight and inches and I too have been able to fit into some clothes that have been in the closet for awhile. Congrats to all of you on your success and with continued motivation and support day 90 will be here before you know it. Have a great Saturday! Going to go do day 21 Sweat 1/2.

I stopped drinking completely! I don't drink a drop of alcohol. Its not just health, it is also religious. That made it way too easy. Oh and I hate feeling stupid when I get drunk. And the hangover.

Glad to see a site about this up and going. Have been on the P90 for 3-1/2 weeks and have lost 8 pounds. I could tell after the first week how much better I was doing and was able to last a little bit longer on each workout. My husband has moved up to the 3-4 disc. I am still doing the sculpt and abs but have also gotten into the Turbo Jam and absolutely LOVE IT! I haven't been keeping up with measurements until now so I'd like to check in too and see how everyone else is doing. It is a great program. Congrats to those who are doing it and losing the weight and good luck to those who are getting ready to start it:happy: :happy:

Well glad to have you here with us!! Welcome!

Congrats on the weight lose! It comes off fast it seems. I love that I can see definition in my arms and shoulders.

Hey WhyflySouth! I totally feel ya when you say Power 90 seems right for me. I too have both the Power 90 and P90X and the P90X is just too much for now. So I am starting off AGAIN on Power 90. Today will be my second day, once I get off from work bleh! Well hopefully we get thru these 90 days together and then advance to P90X!

ugh I suck so bad :frown: I could only do like 15 mins before i gave up on day one...I'll still go at it later, but my legs are killing me and im sweating like a pig...grrr I'm out of shape :grumble:

Oh and I am out of shape aswell!!

Diana - It's fine! Just take breaks and go at your own pace, I love that Tony encourages that! You'll find that your endurance will increase pretty quickly if you stay with it!

Justin - I loved your poll! 777 pushups are the worst, the close ones just kill me! I hate Power Yoga too, not sure why but I really dread it! Haha.

I did day 5 yesterday and completely sucked it up! My endurance just sucked last night but I pushed through and did the best I could...hey at least I did it right?! Sculpt tonight and I'm hoping I can use my 10 lb weights again!

The weather is just beautiful here today. The sun coming in and out but it is warm! I went to work without a coat on today.

Is daylight savings bugging everyone else? I went to bed at midnight last night because I was so wired from working out...let's just say I'm very tired this morning!

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!!
Nykkie
