    I weighed 128 lbs when I started P90x. I followed the workout schedule for the Classic version and ate according to the nutrition plan. I am currently finishing my 6th week and, last I checked (a few days ago), I was down to 112. :) I put all my trust into the program, and it works! My tip would be to limit your complex carb intake (I haven't hate bread, rice, pasta, etc. since life pre-90x!) and up your lean protein, drink lots of water, and get more sleep!

    Hi!
    I totally hear you about those last few pounds. I reached my first goal of 30lbs loss in 123 days. It's taken almost that same amount of time to lose an extra 10. I did increase my running from 5 mph to 5.5 mph and dropped about 3 lbs pretty quickly. I would suggest increasing your activity and water intake but don't cut back on calories. Eat most of your exercise calories.
    Good luck to ya!

    thanks everyone, I needed this information also, been playing around with those last few ugly pounds. I think my habits started slacking too, not with exercise but with food so now that the bbqs are over for a while I need inspiration to get serious again.

    I'm also struggling with the final 5lbs, though went away on holiday and didn't count any calories (just ate carefully) and lost 2lbs in the week! I decided to do the same this week see if it makes any difference, and eat maintain calories, exercise a bit more and added in a fitness dvd instead of just running and light weights. we shall see.
