    Thank you everyone for your support. You must be right. Felt weak after yesterdays workout. So I have decided to bump up my calorie intake to 1400. Once again thank you for your input. My workouts r about to get more intense. P90x is no joke.

    I actually just completed my final workout of p90x today! I too have seen fantastic results with this program. When I started, I was doing about 1200-1300 calories, and after a few weeks I could feel myself burning out and starting to "bonk" at the end of the workouts. That is undoubtedly what happened to you yesterday. I am so glad you're upping your calories. You will find that you will have more energy, which will translate to more energy to work out. This will translate to more calories burned and better results. And since muscle burns way more calories than fat, having increased calories to build up muscle will make your metabolism faster! I upped my calories and still continue to lose weight rapidly, only without the burnt out exhausted feeling.

    25 LBS IN A MONTH!!!! Man tell me your secrets!!! I would love to do that!

    Not to sound negative, but it isn't really a secret. He is creating a gigantic calorie deficit by burning a ton of calories through exercise and eating VERY little for his size. Thus, very quick weight loss. Now, the real secret is how to do the same thing and not: feel weak, feel dizzy, lose a lot of lean muscle mass, mess up your metabolism and gain most/all of it back once you start eating a realistic amount. I know that I wouldn't want to live the rest of my life eating < 1000 calories! Heck, I can't even do that for more than a day without wanting to bite someone's head off!

    To the OP, I'm glad that you recognized the signs of feeling weak and decided to take some corrective measures. Don't be afraid to add even more calories. Even at 1500 calories, you are only eating about 100 more than I do and I am a 5'3" female. Best of luck in your journey!

    Hey!

    I started a diet where all I do is eat less (1200-1500calories a day) I started april 4th and its now May 1. I haven't exercised or anything. So I guess you could assume that in 4 weeks this guy could lose 25lbs doing one of the most rigorous workouts.

    This is like the 3rd post in regards to P0x9 or whatever that thing is called... I wonder if people get paid to advertise such things. I asked a guy about it and he asked me to inform myself on a certain web site, I did it and it was all for sale, nothing was said just plain "BUY HERE" everywhere! Hm.... I may be a dork, but I'm not STUPID. 25 lbs in 4 weeks? WOW! 18 lbs in 2 weeks? Hmm..... I don't know why but I got a weird feeling about this... Like they say... if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

    I have to aggree, I had someone on here trying to sell my a $120 weight loss program but said the words " I am not trying to sell you anything' I looked at thier profile and they had the same, 1 picture and 2 friends

    Low caloric intake + P90X = one super duper recipe for chronic fatigue.

    Considering that P90X is NOT designed as a rapid weight loss program, but rather a program to build strength, you're losing water weight and muscle mass in those 25 pounds. Sure, you'll feel good now, but give it a month and you'll feel like proverbial s*** eating starvation level calories.

    So yeah, that negates the entire purpose of the program, sorry. And yesssss, for the record, I've completed a round of it.

    Wat up Barney,
    I've been doing P90x for 5 weeks now. I have more energy now than before. Everyones body is different. I can assure you that I am getting into shape and building muscle. I will stick to the program and succeed. I'm glad the program worked for you and it will work for me. Try to be positive when making comments to people here we are all trying to accomplish the same thing. To live a healthy and happy life. Good luck in whatever you do.
    :huh:

    Mike,congratulations on your loss.Drink some protein,calories are not bad,just fuel for your body.What's the difference if this huge loss is from lapband surgery or working your a@# off...and who cares how many "friends"you have.I agree,it really is irritating when you read a post,check out the person's profile -and imagine that,they're a B@#$%Body coach-and their ad pops up on screen with the same profile photos.I've got a free program that works-get out the door 5-6 days a week and run 6 miles.
    Don't kill yourself,up the calories,and be sure to post pictures:smile:

    I recently became a beachbody 'coach', but for me it's not at all about trying to push sales, I'm just loving how it's working for me so much that I wanted an excuse to make a website about it and tell people about it all the time. Yeah, there are some ads and links on my site, but it's mostly just a log of my thoughts and experiences as I try to get myself into shape.

    I agree that there are a lot of coach pages that are just huge marketing fronts and they don't really give two craps about the people they are trying to sell to, but I'd genuinely like to share my experiences and advice and help you achieve your goals. My website is in my sig if anybody wants to read about what P90X is like- It's still very much under construction, so go easy on me.

    For the OP, Sorry, but I'll have to chime in with everyone else and say you really need to eat enough to keep your boilers stoked, or you're just going to burn down the ship. Contact me if you want more advice.
