    I have to walk to my dad's to see if he has mine.
    My husband lent him our DVDs and I think they were in there :/

    I could always drive, but might as well move it lol.

    YAY Sara! I will post my stuff tomorrow night as I am starting on the 3rd. In other news the Team Beachbody calender seems to be working properly and all my workouts are there for November with Tuesdays showing "off" .... I took measurements yesterday and did my RHR. I already filled in the how many pull ups can you do and that would be a 0 LOL but I am going to use the chair as an assist. I CAN'T WAIT TILL WEDNESDAY! BRING IT!

    What a horrible way to start!
    Went and looked through my DVDs and could only find chest and back.
    I can't do a pull up/chin up, although I used bands. Also, can barely to push ups, but I did what I could.

    For the first time ever, I kept it on the whole time. My daughter (2 years) pretended to do push ups and kept running around saying "bring it mommy" lol.

    I did the same measurements as OP this morning

    Weight: 160.8 (Thank you pizza and halloween candy, oh yeah and AF)
    Waist (2 fingers above belly button): 29.5
    Waist at belly button: 30.5
    Hips: 38.5
    Chest (below bustline): 31.5
    Right arm: 10.5
    Left arm: 10.5
    Right thigh (at mid point): 20
    Left thigh: 20
    Body fat: 28% by my scale, and 24.67% by this site

    I'm with you! I'm starting today too! I don't really have much weight to lose. I'm in the right range for my height, but I just want to be leaner. Hence, I am working on the lean program. Today is the Core Synergistics workout! I'm looking forward to it.
  • Hi. congrats for sticking with it. I'm doing P90X also. I started on September. It is great. I started at 170 now im down to 157 and tight. However I'm having a little trouble adding it to my fitness pal exercise section. How do you log it in?

    CLASSIC! Just finished chest and back and ab ripper x. Didn't break much of a sweat during chest and back, but maybe it's because it was freezing in my apartment this morning? My muscles were certainly burning. LOVED ab ripper! Not that I could get through all 25 of every move, but I didn't do as poorly as I expected to! Yay!

    I wanted to do this with my boyfriend, but he was SUPER negative this morning when we did it... don't know if I can handle that. He was just really down on himself that he couldn't keep up with the guys on screen, but who can on day 1? I'll give him a few more days chance, but otherwise I think we'll have to do it separately. I want to keep it positive with Tony! Who I love :bigsmile:

    Here are my stats (love how open and vulnerable we all are by posting these!)


    Height: 5'8"
    Weight: 163.8 lbs
    Resting Heart: DANG IT--keep forgetting to do it! A post-it is going on my alarm clock tonight.
    Waist (just above belly button): 30"
    Hips: 40.5"
    Chest (at bust): 39"
    Arms (both the same): 11.5"
    Thighs (both the same): 24"
    Body Fat: Still waiting for my caliper to arrive... any day now...

    Finished day 1, lean Core synergistics, I also did a 2 mile warm up on the elliptical. I had not done this work out since earlier this year...forgot about those killer sphinx push ups...goodness I don't like them. The chattarunga running things...killer too, I found myself holding plank a lot during that time.. I did take measurements..but need help on a couple spots and I will also weigh in and post everything tomorrow.
  • Day 1 p90x Classic: Finished chest and back strong with a total of over 250 push ups, 50+ pull ups, and sweat from head to toe! Before that was a nice walk for over 2 miles, and tonight will be Ab Ripper X and my Karate class (3 hours worth of training).

    Ok, I just finished day 1 shoulders and arms! Couldn't do chest and back because hubby left for work with the pull-up bar still in the car! Oh, well! I just shuffled a little! Wow, I really loved it! I surprised myself! Ab ripper was hard for me and I couldn't finish every set, but I liked the variety and I don't think I've ever done any of those moves before. Looking forward to Plyo tomorrow. Haven't done any plyometrics since I hurt my foot weeks ago. Doc says I'm ready and I think he's right!

    Tony is hilarious. I like that he is serious about the workout but it doesn't seem like he takes himself to seriously. Is it possible to be a fitness geek? I hope nobody is offended by that! I'm a food geek, my husband is a geek geek and I think Tony Horton might be a fitness geek! :wink:

    Good luck everybody!

    I love Tony, he is a big reason i keep pushing play (he cracks me up)!!! Im on round 2 now in week 3 (did chest and back today) but im doing a hybrid so i only do p90x every other day (takes me 2 weeks to finish 1 week) i rotate it out with bodyrock.tv and it is working out GREAT!!!

    That's good to hear because I found myself laughing out loud during X Stretch Saturday and Sunday. I may be taking a break from that tonight as I am a TAD sore from stretching 2 days in a row LOL. I am going to run and do cardio tonight and depending on how I feel when I get home I will do the X Stretch or maybe just pop in the 1st dvd to see what to expect.

    I just ordered some Yoga Blocks from Amazon and with Prime free shipping and they will get here JUST IN TIME for my start. I got purple (of course!). Will do the fit test tomorrow after work and post my starting measurements. Before Pics have already been taken but those won't go up until I have a 30 day to compare. Thanks to the 30DS I have obliques again LOL but the tummy is till sticking out a tad much for my liking ahaha. I am so glad I actually got the series rather then borrowing from my neighbor. If I know myself I will re-visit this again and again after 90 days.

    Congrats to EVERYONE who is started on the program already. I am so excited to start but don't want to mess up my "night before weigh in off night" schedule (besides I have dental appointments scheduled on tuesdays).

    I've become a fitness and food geek. Yesterday morning after we did Yoga X we watched the rest of Food Matters a documentary about the food and drug industry. Then we went to a whole foods store, went to Marshalls to look at exercise clothes and then went home. I was considering a 2nd workout, but my knees needed a rest.

    but my knees needed a rest.

    I hear you on that! I was icing down last night and on Saturday night. It sucks. My right knee is particularly pissed off at me. If I can do Plyo I will sub in the Cardio X y'all say that is a good sub yes?

    Looking forward to doing the Cardio X tomorrow morning.
    Hi. congrats for sticking with it. I'm doing P90X also. I started on September. It is great. I started at 170 now im down to 157 and tight. However I'm having a little trouble adding it to my fitness pal exercise section. How do you log it in?

    After you search for and can't find it, you can then click on the, "Add an exercise to the database" link on the bottom.

    So awesome to see so many people starting on a truly life changing journey! Great job everyone. Makes me wish, just a little that today were my day 1 to join you all. Bring it! If any of you have any questions or need any help, feel free to message me. Hubby and I are on day 37 of our 3rd round. Round 1 was Classic, Round 2 was Lean, and this round is a hybrid of P90X and some P90X One on One DVDs. :) Didn't do my workout yesterday, so I had Plyo and Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps to do today. I don't suggest doubling up on workouts though when you are just starting - try to stick to the schedule as best you can. :) But remember, it doesn't have to be P90X, it can be P97X or whatever it takes to get it done. Sometimes life gets in the way and you need to re-do a week. Do your best and forget the rest. And, oh yes, I totally agree that Tony is a fitness geek. He is the governor of fitness (the One on Ones are hilarious by the way with his antics)!

    Whew... I did it. Day one complete and I had to do the assisted pull ups. I suspect I am going to feel it tomorrow. I could only do a little more than half the reps on Ab Ripper X but... my abs are my trouble spot and its only day 1 -- next time I am sure I will do better.
