I was getting discouraged as well, I started my third week of block 1 on Weds and have barely lost a pound. But I'm gonna stick to it, because I am feeling stronger and slowly seeing results with parts of my body looking firmer. So I'm hoping when I measure myself, I will see the difference. Although it would be nice to loos a few pounds. Also reading some articles on P90x3, they say you don't really see it until the end of the 2nd block. Let's keep our fingers crossed and stay with you, you are off to a good start loosing 7lbs.!

Don't let numbers discourage you, because they don't actually say anything about you.

How do you feel? Do you feel stronger? More energetic? More capable? If the answer is yes, let the rest follow eventually.

Remember, muscle is denser then fat, but the scale isn't reflecting that. Measurements might. You might have to accept that your goal weight is really right for you, because you might weigh more than you want to, but you'll look better with muscle. Reevaluate the way that you are evaluating YOURSELF, and you might just find you are using the wrong standards to begin with.

Keep pushing play, and I promise, as long as you are eating reasonably, you WILL see results.

I haven't lost anything in the first month. But I feel tighter and busted out 25 more pushups in the final week of The Challenge, so I know it's working. I'm just going to take measurements and ignore the scale for the duration of the program.

Also, if it makes you feel better- I lost four pounds, then gained five, I still have a layer of fat on my tummy, but I can feel my core strengthening there. I need to change my diet to get the fat off, but the muscle is building, my metabolism is increasing. Your body is a machine, and working out changes soooo many factors inside of it to make you run better. These things NEED time.

This morning I looked at myself in the mirror and was like "holy *kitten* I look amazing!"
Not really, but it was like all of a sudden I could see progress where I hadn't before.
So maybe it is true that you don't really see results til Block 2.

To be honest I love the program but I didn't see the scale move down instead it moved up. With P90X i lost 25lbs and thirst 20lbs was in phase 1 with only 5lbs last two months but I went from doing no pull ups to 3 solid pull ups. I lost only a few pounds on X2 but went from 3 pull ups to 3 one arm chin ups. I lost no weight on T25 and lost muscle definition but I am sure it was related to diet and the routines are just so damn boring so they get stale fast as the program is not very diverse. If you compare the daily workouts to X3 you'll see what mean.
I have been on fitness pal since start of block one logging my calories every time something even touches my lips but still gained about 5lbs. I do notice muscle development in arms and most of the body but the belly fat has not moved. That belly fat seems to laugh at me whenever I look at my reflection but I feel better and I figure getting in shape is not a race it's a lifestyle change so I'm gonna smile back at the belly fat till I burn it away.

The changes is weight lost have been slow, but steady. Im starting wk. 7 and lost only 8lbs. My abs are sore all the time, probably because if Im working out or showing snow, I keep hearing Tony say "engage your abs"..lol. With P90X, I lost 30lbs, I dont see that happening here, but I really love the 30 min. workout. Im gonna run a second cycle and maybe to the lean one that time and workout in the a.m. Seeing that I teach martial arts in the evening, even though its a 30 min. workout, I rush around one some days and really dont like that.

Feel free to add me if you wish.

Dude, don't say 'only' lost 8lbs in 7weeks. That's awesome! I bet you're building lean muscle at the same time if you're following the nutrion guide. Get yourself a set of calipers and measure your fat % rather than using the scale. Do you really want to weigh less or look better and have less fat? Measurements are a good way to track progress as well but to me it sounds like you're doing amazing!

I lost 21lbs in X and I think it's designed more for weight loss than X3. X3 is more about overall athletic performance...you will burn fat and you will gain muscle but if all you want to do is weigh less then longer workouts and less food is the ideal solution.

Trust me, I have calipers and I lost 3% from 18% to 15% +/-. I wanted to be a bodybuilder years ago, kind of fell short. Its ok. Im doing what I really enjoy. Teaching Martial arts again, and inspiring others by words and my body changing. I can't say that numbers don't matter, BUT, they don't like they use to. Pants are fitting better, lats, shoulders, arms, even my chest there is a small change. What I want are my abs to show, doesn't matter if Im 175 or 185, if they show that is my goal.

Never forget that muscle is more than fat - don't worry about the scale so much as inches!! I'm only on week two, but - knowing where the people showing us the moves started helps. Like the guy in Agility x! I want an amazing AFTER pictures and that keeps me motivated.
