Hi all!
I am so happy that this group exists so that I have some people to share the P90 journey!
I am 41, a mom and wife with a very busy and unpredictable work schedule. My metabolism has definitely slowed over the past 5 years or so and I have found the only way I can manage my weight is to not only eat clean but I must workout....easier said than done!
I am very excited about the P90X3 - just started today and really enjoyed Total Synergistics. I have a great partner in my husband who works out with me! We did the P90X program together in 2012 and loved it! Both got great results but were not able to keep up with the time committment so that fell away. I have since done JM Body Revolution which I also really enjoyed and got good results. That was easier to manage because the workouts were about 30minutes...sadly, I lost my motivation after finishing the program and have put on some pounds...again
So now we are back with Tony - only 30 minutes this time....so exciting.
Overall my goals are for general health and fitness...that said if I could loose about 25-30lbs I would be totally psyched!! I know I can do it if I stick with the program and keep eating clean. The real challenge for me is maintenece
Looking forward to spending the next 90 days hearing all of your adventures in fitness!

Hello from da U.P. Eh!
Umm...I really don't talk like that, but I couldn't resist. I'm Kelsey and I'm a 28-year-old mom of three girls, 6, 4, and 9 months. I've been married to my best friend for almost 8 years. I graduated in Dec. 2012 while pregnant with my third baby with a degree in Health Information. I accepted a position with a local HMO company this last Sept. so as you can imagine, it was a huge change for my family. It also affected my workouts.
My husband has completed P90X and has time and time again asked me to do it with him, but I never would. I can't stand working out for longer than 40-45 min. Anything past that and I get inpatient and bored. When we found out that there was a P90X coming out with only 30 min workouts or so, I was excited. It was my idea to order it and it will be here next week. I can't wait to be able to do this with my husband. I have about 5-8 more lbs. I'd like to lose.0 -
My name is Alan. I live in northern Minnesota, and work as a certified pharmacy tech for the local hospital. I have completed P90X twice, the 2nd time was on my 50th birthday. Last winter I started P90X for the third time, but left on vacation only 2/3 through it. When we got back - I slacked off both on working out and on my eating habits - it got bad over summer - consuming whatever I wanted to eat, and drinking beer, margaritas, and such. We put in a pool last summer, and it made it too easy to just float around. Should have been doing laps!! In short I gained back most of what I had lost previously. By Christmas 2013 I was having problems even fitting into the clothes I had saved from before I lost the weight (it's hard to throw out decent jeans).
I started P90X3 on Jan. 6, and so far it's working! I've been doing my best to eat clean. I've dropped 10 pounds since Christmas, 3 of those pounds in the last week. On day 2 of week 2 and I already feel tremendously better! I started tracking with MFP to make sure I was keeping in line with my eating goals, and the recommendations in the Beachbody fitness guide. Happy to be in this group for even more accountability!0 -
Hi all, I'm Karim from Chicago. I work in IT. Over the past year I gained ~45 lbs. I'm ~250 lbs now. Plus I stopped exercising and got out of shape.
I'm really enjoying P90X3 so far. I find the hardest part is to start the workout, but once I am into it, it's fun and flies by.0 -
Hi I am Tim. I work in IT and have weighed in at 225 lbs before I started P90x. I did one and half rounds of P90x got down to about 205. Now I am doing Body Beast with P90x3. I have a wedding to come up and I want to look sexy as hell for my honeymoon.0

Hello all, Im David. I live near Cleveland Ohio. I'm 44 turning 45 this year, no kids, but do have a girlfriend. I work for the government during the day and teach Karate at night (2nd degree black belt). She has twin 18 yr. old daughters and a 17 yr. son. We have two dogs, Nina-box pit mix and Karma-pure breed boxer.
I used to be a coach, my first experience with Beachbody products, was P90X. I loved it, but it definitely was a little time consuming. Since then I have acquired Turbo Fire, Insanity, T25 and Body Beast. I must say Body Beast I loved the most, Im not a huge cardio lover person. Im in my 3rd week of P90X3 and loving it. I love the intensity and the short time of the workouts. I bought a heart monitor/calorie burner watch and was shocked that 30 mins. after a few workouts I was up to 1000 ca. burned. I hope to see great success from this group.
If anybody wishes to add me, go right ahead.
Bring your best and forget the rest!0 -
Hello! I'm just starting today! I'm super excited to see how this goes. I'm 28 with 3 amaizing daughters and a full time job but by the end of the 90 days it will be a week before my 29th birthday and I would being healthy and fit would be the best gift I could give myself. I enjoyed P90X but I just didn't have the time to dedicate to it but now that it's 30 minutes I have no excuses!0

My wife and I are doing P90x3. I did P90X before I got married (about 30 days of it). I weighed about 230 and am down to 224 now. We want to lose some inches in our mid areas, we both are not happy with our appearances. My Goal is to get at least to 180 but would like to be at 170. My plan is to do P90x3 Classic then do the Lean version, then if I have gotten down to my goal go back again and do the Mass version.
I am not offering any excuses this time. My wife and I are even bringing it with us on vacation, we are very serious about this and how important it is to us. With the program being 30 minutes it makes it fit into our busy lives very easily.
My biggest problem has to be that I work in IT and sit at a desk all day so I don't burn nearly as many calories as I used to. I have cut back on how much I eat out drastically in the last two weeks and what I eat. We aren't necessarily following Tony's plan, but are eating low Carbs, high protein.0 -
Hello folks:
I hope it's alright if I join, considering I'm not doing P90X3. I did a week of it, but I had a choice: shorter workouts, so I had to cut even more calories to stay at my current weight, or choose a program with longer workouts. I went with the latter option, so I'm in my 3rd week of P90X2.
A little background with my experience with P90X/Beachbody programs.
Started 2013 at approximately 180 pounds (all time high was 200 pounds back in 2009 or so). During 2013, I've completed two full rounds of P90X, one full round of a P90X/Insanity hybrid, and the first month of another hybrid round. I'm now at 147 pounds. (No worries, not a beachbody coach).
I was ready for a change, so did a week of X3, then went on to X2, and I'm absolutely loving it.
Best of luck on all your fitness journeys. Feel free to add me if you like.
I heard X2 was a beast. Good luck!0 -
Hi everyone. New to the group.
I'm Dimitris from Greece, 41 years old. Started P90X3 2 weeks ago but unfortunately haven't had any good results as I did not watch what I ate. Was thinking of restarting, but decided to start with week 3 and log my food and take it from here. I weighed myself at 83 kg today from 80 in the beginning of December. I am also running (have done 2 marathons, 6 half marathons and a bunch of 10k). Should be ripped by now with all the activity but wasn't taking care of my diet. This is about to change.0 -
Hi Everyone:
I just joined the group. I just ordered X3 and it hasn't arrived yet. I've done many BB programs from Insantiy, Chalene and p90X and the Beast. I have three kids and am Canadian. I look forward to reading many of the discussions on here and being an active participant.0 -
Hi Everyone,
I am a 38 year old married canadian mom with 2 small kids ( 5yrs,1 yr ) and an active dog. I also work/ school full time, so life is crazy busy to say the least. I gained 75 lb during my first pregnancy, and it took me very long time to lose it. Then baby #2 come along, and I gained 65 lb with her. She finally started to sleep through the night a week ago, and as I got my sleep back I am ready to exercise again.
I generally like weight training, and not a big cardio fan , especially do not like complex choreography and dancy moves . After getting through numerous Jillian Michael DVDs, I come across P90X back in 2011 and I loved it .I really like the structure of short intensive and independent moves. I didn't actually finish the whole p90x program as described, because Yoga for 90 minutes bored the hell out of me. Plus I just could not get the whole Kempo thing, but I did used the P90X DVDs quite a bit. I felt like hell during my pregnancy, and I stopped exercise completely. Now after 1 yr 10 months of no exercise whatsoever P90x3 is kicking my butt , but I am loving it.
So far , I have done 2 days and feel great. Despite my aversion of cardio, Agility was amazing. Total synergetic was ok, but it required a bit too much balance for my taste.
I do not follow the nutrition plan completely, but aim for the recommended calorie intake and eat at least the 30% recommended protein , sometimes even more. I eat much less carb than Tony's recommends, only 15-20% (80-120g), but I used to eat even less, so this is already an adjustment i made for the purpose of this workout. I have a recovery drink after my evening workout with 40 g carb, and that should be sufficient for replenish the muscles glycogens.0 -
Hi. I'm 29 and from metro Detroit. I am on my 3rd week of P90X3. I was just sick of making excuses, and in all honesty, the gym bores me. This works much better for me. I am already seeing results, which could also be in part to my diet plus adding in yoga (and soon to be doing swimming). The first week, I couldn't do one "regular" push-up. Only 3 weeks in, I can do a few (hey, better than none). I can't believe how fast a body can change. There's a bit of improvement with my balance as well, so when I go to yoga, I find myself being able to hold poses better and longer.
This group is a great idea. We can all find support on here, especially on those days when you feel too tired or lazy to workout. One really needs to have mental strength to do something for 90 days straight. Good luck to everyone with their transformations!0 -
Hello Everyone,
My name is Darlene, I am a 54 (55 in 2 weeks) ok, 55 year-old female who has always worked out. I just ordered mine yesterday and it should arrive Wednesday. I did order on Amazon because I have their primetime with no shipping costs. I hated forking over $140 so I was not about to give up another 20 bucks for shipping.
This is my first Beach Body DVD paying over $50 dollars but I have to do something. I have done them all...almost all of them from NROL, Stronglifts, Drop2Sizes, Strong Curves with some TurboJam, HipHop Abs, Cathy Friedrich, Jessica Smith and many more with no results.
The one that I had the best result with was Supreme 90 Day and that is the reason I decided to purchase the P90x3. 30 minutes and it's done and you can pack a lot of workout in that time. After watching the infomercials it was a toss-up between this and T25. I chose this because I like lifting weights.
Supreme 90 Day I saw results but with the other lifting programs I gained muscle and strength but no fat loss. Now I am hoping this will melt the fat and hopefully lose some weight. I do clean eat most of the time. My weakness is the weekends and those cocktails. So I know I have to get that in check.
Looking forward to reading everyone's results and hopefully will have some great ones of my own to share. And if there are any other 50 plus folks on here who have started the program, I would love to hear from you.
Thanks for starting this group. I also joined the fb one.0 -

Yupers...just kidding. I live in Metro Detroit (and consequently teach Michigan History to my 3rd grade students). You guys are much nicer and laid back! Good luck with P90X30 -
Sweet a P90X3 Group!
I credit P90X and Insanity for much of my success losing weight and getting fit. Picked up P90X3 this year to cross train against my running, hoping it's enough to help keep my core strong and try to fight the muscle mass loss from running that I saw last year. I might have to throw in some heavy lifting here and here... we'll see I guess.
Love the program so far, I missed Tony!
I'm almost 32, father of 2 from West Michigan, down something like 80 pounds since I started my journey back in 2005. Picked up running as an addiction in 2012, logged about 900 miles now in 2 years. Couldn't have done it without Tony!0 -

Hello all,
My name is Michael. I am excited to be a part of this p90x3 group! I am finishing up my first week now and loving it! I am 30yrs old and just wanting to be more fit and healthier overall. I have completed the original p90x program about 2 yrs ago, but have gained some weight back since. I did take up running which I love, but I do not nearly run as much as I wish I could (work, wife, life, etc..) p90x3 is perfect as far as time/results, though it has only been a week. Which leads me to why I joined the group! I hope to complete the program, stay motivated, and meet people as well!0 -
Hi all,
I am new to the MFP groups
. I have mostly been using for tracking food, and lately not even for that, but it's time to take control again.
I am a working mother of two gorgeous boys (5 &2). I gained 60lbs with my first kid and lost them with a low calorie diet, tae bo, and by starting to run. The 2nd one, I gained 80lbs. I have done a couple of Jillian Michaels workouts, turbo fire, T25, and increased my running - I just completed my first half maraton. I still have about 25lbs to lose, but my goal right now is to lose inches and fat that's the reason I went for P90X3. I'm joining this group because I don't know anybody else doing it and would love to have the support.
My biggest struggle is maintaining a healthy diet, or even staying within my macros. This is my first week of p90x3 and I have improved my diet and I finally saw a lose, but it is so easy to cheat. I want to stay accountable.0 -

Welcome! I've done all those workouts too and added running just like you hoping it would help me lose all the weight I wanted to lose! I even did a marathon. What I found even after I got pretty close to my goal weight is that I needed to tone up a lot so that is why I went with P90X3 too!! I think you are going to LOVE it!! It is different than those cardio heavy programs, but I am already seeing some results and feeling stronger everyday. 5 weeks ago I couldn't do one real pushup and now I can do about 15!!
Good luck and keep us posted on how it is going!0 -
Hello Everyone!!
My name is Leah! I currently live in England with my awesome (totally fit, hot) husband. We have no children, just one fur baby, Abby. I go to school full time and am working on a Bachelors Degree in Business, hoping to become an officer in the Medical Service Corps - USAF. My husband is active duty and an outstanding Airman. His fitness totally motivates me to become fit. We will be moving back to the U.S. this summer after three years in England and travelling Europe.
I just started P90x3 TODAY with total synergenics (classic, of course). I can't wait to improve my fitness and tone myself up, getting stronger and stronger. I fell off the wagon a little, but managed to not balloon up with the stresses school brings, not to mention husbands work.
I have joined this group for accountability. I WILL NOT QUIT!!0
