As of 02/13/2011 I am a P90x Grad I have completed one round of P90x Lean. Prior to starting p90x I was overweight due to the weight I gained with my two pregnancies. I had no energy and was always finding an excuse on why I could not work out. I was tired, I had no energy, I had no time. But than my husband started doing p90x and I started to see results in him. One night I decided enough was enough and I was going to do whatever it took to start working out. I found MFP two weeks prior to starting p90x and started to count calories something that I had never done in my life. I started to do p90x every night after my kids had gone to bed which meant I was working out around 10 pm or 10:30pm even though there was days that I did not feel like working out and all I wanted to do was to bed I kept pressing play.

When I started p90x I was at 164 lbs, I did not take any measurements so I cannot tell you how many inches I lost but so far I lost 13lbs. I lost most of my weight the first two months, the last month I did not loose that much. It took me longer than 3 months to complete the program. The first two months I did not miss a day but the last month was just around the holidays so I stopped working out after the second week of December, than in January I had a lot of things going on so was not able to work out on some days but I always made up for the days that I missed to make sure I did the full workout.

I am going to start my next round tomorrow and this time around trying out the classic version, I did not do the classic version at first because my knees were not strong but now that they are strong I know I can do the classic version.

Below are my before and after pictures, I have to say that when I look at my before pictures I can see how unhappy and tired I looked with the extra pounds I had. I am still not done with my weight loss I still have 21lbs to go and i want to be tone so this is just the beginning of my weight loss journey. I love this site and love the friends that I have made and how supportive everyone is.

    Congrats! You look amazing!! The thing that strikes me is how much healthier your skin looks - you just have a radiant glow now. Your body looks great, but your skin and face are just glowing. Keep up the great work! You are an inspiration! :)

    Congratulations! I think you did great. I also think that you will probably lose a lot more weight doing the Classic version, too, for a couple of reasons. Most women tend to lose more in the second round...and plus, I have personal experience with losing more weight doing Classic instead of Lean.

    Your stomach totally shrunk! Good job!!!

    Yes I plan todo another round, still have more weight to loose and I want to get toned. Just debating if I want to start right away or take a week off do something else like Zumba and than start my next round. I know that I am also going to do bodyrock for sure. Did you take time off when going between rounds?

    Thank you I noticed that too and I think it has a lot to do with the way I am eating, watching what I eat and drinking a lot of water I think has helped.

    Thank you, I am definitely going to do Classic this second time around, to be honest I had knee problems when I first started and I was afraid that if I did the classic and I would get hurt or my knees would not get better I would quit and not finish the program. But now I have the drive, my knees are stronger so Classic here I come LOL!!!!

    Congratulations! I am contemplating starting P90X as an addition to what I'm already doing (Zumba and Pilates)...I am trying to figure out the best way to train for a trip to Macchu Pichu in Peru in September that will be 10 days of hiking at altitude

    ...I'm worried about the impact on my knees however with P90 X - is it doable? I'm 50 years old in May...so there's that to consider...

    Anyone with suggestions?

    Thank you, it has motivated me for sure. Looking at my before and after pictures makes me want to continue because I want to look like the people on the infomercial. I want to be toned and get rid of the rest of my fat
