P90x3

Radedj, I also just started the p90x3 program. I start day 5 today. I have looked A LOT into the weight gain from programs like p90x3. Basically the short version is, your body is freaking out and releasing a hormone that causes your body to retain water and foods because of the such extreme workout that you aren't use too. A lot of folkes say that they barely lose throughout the whole program until the final week or so. Just keep up with your diet, and keep going as hard as possible on all the workouts and not missing any and also keep taking measurements and you will be fine. (Or at least I hope because I'm in the same boat as you!) lol

I am happy to read this too...I had gained 5 lbs in the last 3 weeks. I am on transition week of Block 1 and happily this morning I stepped on the scale and I am down 4 lbs. I can even feel a difference in the bloating I have felt the last 3 weeks....keeping it up and really watching my foods in this transition week before 30 day results. I am sure my body has been saying wowow what are you doing to me. LOL I have been a biker gym elliptical and treadmil person the last 2 years I do feel great with this workout

I finished P90X3 a few weeks ago, and if you are not losing, then you are not in a deficit, barring a medical condition. I lost weight every single week while doing the program. Make sure you are weighing and measuring every single thing and eating back a portion of your exercise calories (unless doing TDEE method). You will retain some water as your glycogen stores replenish at the beginning of a new workout routine, but after 2 months your body should be used to the program and that shouldn't be an issue anymore.

That is great to know as I am in transition week of block 1....feeling great!

Hi yall. I am currenlty in my 7th week of P90X3 and loving it. I did have to pause for a week due to the flu, but I am back at it as of this past Wednesday. I am following a paleo type nutritional way of life and have so far lost 7 pounds. Unfortuantely, I have gained two back since I picked back up after the flu. It seems as though I have gained a pound a day and I know this isn't accurate, as I have about 300-500 calorie deficit. I also began jogging and walking 30 minutes a day in order to prep for my first 5K. So, I am thinking I have water weight. My legs seem a bit puffy. I have also lost over 5 inches going into my 7th week. I can tell a difference in my shoulders, thighs, and calves. They seem much stronger and look more toned, with a little definition popping up. So far so good. I love the mix up of this program of not only the resistance, but more cardio than the regular P90X. It is also a huge plus that it's only 30 minutes which is much more doable. Sometimes, if for some reason, I fall behind and miss a workout during the week, I try to do two on Sat and/or Sunday. Today was Eccentric Lower and Yoga. I did the P90X program way back when. I only completed the first 60 days and gave up due to time crunch and conflict with my studies. At sixty days in, I had gained about 8 pounds and was discouraged. I felt stronger, tighter, and and in much better shape, but, since time was an issue and I wanted to LOSE, I gave it up. I think I will try again sometime after this P90X3. Please add me as a friend/pal so we can motivate each other on throughout our journey.
