i've got my calories set at 1800, also, but don't know if I'm really burning the 600 they build in for the workouts. Today I actually saw a half pound gain on the scale, but it's only Day 3 so I'll have to wait and see if I need to adjust my calories. I feel good so I think that's what matters.
Going to go do the shoulders portion today and Ab Ripper and see if I can move the rest of the day!
I am in week 4 and have not seen much of a loss on the scale...but everything is firming up so I know I am building muscle. Trying not to let the numbers on the scale get to me. It is making a difference!0 -
OK....So Day 2 did not happen for me. I had such a bad day that I came home sat on the couch and ate a cupcake. I know not a good choice at all! Tonight I will do Cardo X and get back on board.0

Morning all! Just had my yummy Shakeology, now time to push play soon! This schedule is actually working out perfect because this is my last week of my hybrid and then next week will be my recovery week before starting on the 28th, so it worked out great!
Last night, I spent some time going over the nutrition plan and figuring out my menu for phase I. I have to have things written out for me, just helps the process and keeps me on track.
Tracey: Uh oh....don't worry, we all have those days. Just get back up and keep going!
Stefani: Yep, the scale can be your worst enemy! That's the lean muscle you're building girl! Keep it up!
Linda: Nice job! I love the shoulders workout! One of my favs!
Keep it up peeps, I'll be there with ya in no time! Love to see the committment though! Good job!
Hope everyone has a great day!

My hubby and I are starting Monday as well. We are gonna spend this weekend planning out meals and getting resistance bands and what not. We are both really looking forward to it. I started doing the program about 2 years ago then I became pregnant and had to stop because my morning sickness was so bad. It was a great hard workout but I always felt great afterwards. I also lost 8lbs that first week

Good Morning All !
I have planned to start the P90X challenge on Monday as well, I am new to P90X and will be doing the Lean version. My husband and hopefuly a few of my friends are going to join in as well, but we will see =] I am very excited about this challenge and very determined to stick to it!
Cant wait to start =]0 -
Count me in! I downloaded the entire set a few weeks ago (what a search to find digital copies of the paper components!) and I've been waiting until my fitness level had improved enough to start it.
I figure by the 28th that's like 6 weeks of pushing myself with other videos so it sounds like a good time to dive into p90x!0 -
Hello!
I am a newbie, but have done 1 round of P90x before, then I had some life happenings and I really havent done much with my fitness ever since. I had AWESOME results and am ready to rock it this time and feeling much better. I'd LOVE to join you all on the 28th. 0 -
Welcome Lovely, Curried, Ellie and Jata! :drinker: Glad you found us!
This is going to be so exciting to read about everyone's successes, struggles and accomplishments! I can't wait to get started!
Feel free to friend me while you're at it! :flowerforyou:

I'll join! My husband and I are actually starting Monday so we'll be a little off your schedule but not a big deal to me if it's not to you. This will be our first round and I'm very excited! I do Taekwondo and I'm really looking forward to what this will do for my martial arts (not to mention the hope that I'll lose some weight!)
Today, just for the heck of it I did Ab Ripper X and the Kenpo DVD's. They were awesome! I figured if there were any DVD's that I could make it through I thought it would be the Kenpo, lol. I needed the assurance I could do this.
I took my measurements today and my DH will help me with pictures later. I also need to officially do my fit test (though I already know what I can pass and what's more of a struggle. Just need the numbers.)0 -
Ok - Yesterday I completed Cardio X. Today is Shoulder & Arms, Ab Ripper X. I am ready to do this. Can't want to get home from work.0
-
I've followed through so far with P90x and im loving it. can't wait to start seeing results.0
-
I'm in the 2nd week of my first phase.
I'm about ready to ditch the Yoga. Did about 45 minutes of it yesterday, then got fed up with it and turned it off.
Today is Legs and Back. This one I find to be brutal. I can't do a pull up to save my life, so I've been using bands. Not sure what those are doing for me.
Looking forward to Kenpo.0 -
I started 2 days ago, but I won't be doing any of the ones with pull up bars (the majority of them) until I can get a decent pull up bar! But I am in for the support of the other ones0
-
Got my pullup bar yesterday, and some of those swivel pushup handles, so I'm good to go!
My husband is really enjoying his first week of the program. And I'm really enjoying listening to him realize that he's not superman! (I don't mean that in a bad way, but he's already pretty ripped and it's nice to know even he can tire out sometimes)
I've been doing Ab Ripper with him and it's amazing how good my back feels with a stronger core!! I'm so pumped to start this!!0 -
P90X is hardcore! I had a friend who lost 30 pounds in 3 and a half months!!! Awesome!0

Happy Friday and good morning! Just had my Shakeology and then time to push play! I can't believe I'm finished with my hybrid! 20 weeks of Chalene Extreme and Turbo Fire! Whew! I'm sooo looking forward to all the funny comments from Tony and the gang! It's pretty sad when you've got the majority of the DVD's memorized! I know some people can't stand him, but I love him!
Shannon: Wow, that's awesome about your friend! Good for her! Are you planning on doing the program? You should join us!
Lizard: Doesn't sound right calling you that.....lol. What's your real name? I can't wait to start either and sounds like your hubby is doing good but being challenged! We all need that sometimes!
loathesome: Nice job! Thanks for joining us!
crowhorse: your pic is hilarious! Love it! I was actually thinking that instead of the P90X yoga now, I might do the Turbo Fire stretch 40 DVD because there's yoga in that and it's a lot shorter! I love legs and back days! Gotta love Fridays! lol I actually don't use a pull up bar either, I use bands for the simple fact that I get a better burn and work my back more with the bands! So, go for it!
Stephr: Keep up the good work! The results will naturally follow! You'll be amazed!
Well, welcome to everyone! Looks like we're gonna have a lot of support and motivation on this thread! Let's keep building it! The more, the marrier! Have a great weekend everyone!

Looking forward to Kenpo.
I've heard a lot of people bashing the P90x Yoga. Is it not a good yoga program or do you guys just not like yoga itself?
I haven't tried any of P90x yet, but I enjoy yoga from other sources so this has me curious.0 -

I love yoga but I think what people don't like about the P90X yoga is that it's too long, it's 90 min. But, Tony Horton's yoga in general is amazing! I've have the opportunity to workout with him twice live now, and he's done yoga, he's very into yoga and it's brutal! No joke!0 -
The yoga section is long, and very brutal, especially if you have extra weight on you. I also find it boring. It's also hard for me to breath in some of the positions they put you in, which isn't good in an exercise in which you are suppose to breath throughout.
Maybe my arms are too short, or I'm just plain too fat, but I can't hook my arms around behind my back like they do, either.
The very end isn't too bad, because it's mostly stretching, but the beginning gets really tedious. The middle is more balance poses.
It also doesn't help that I have a toddler that has a toy wave runner that he rides around on while I'm trying to do it, and then he likes to scoot under me while I'm in downward dog position.0 -
I have yoga x to do tomorrow, and I'm already dreading it!0

Does anyone else get sick to their stomach when working out?0

Since we're on the yoga topic... I find it extremely boring. I know it is supposed to be good for you, and heavens knows that I could be more flexible. What do people think about during yoga? Maybe if I turn off the tv sound and put some other music on I could focus on that instead? I must be A.D.D. when it comes to yoga. But, I did buy a yoga mat yesterday so I am not totally against it! I will do the whole thing the first week and see how it goes.
Also, does it get really twisty later on? My knee surgery won't let me do a lot of contortionist poses.
Only 10 days to go!

Im going shopping this weekend and was wondering what all Im gonna need for this program.
1. Am I gonna need the pull up bar the first week?
2. Am I gonna need all 3 resistance bands the first wk or do I change through out the program?
3. As far as the recovery drink is there something I can use other than the shakeology mixes. Like maybe chocolate milk mixed with something I can get from GNC?

I have a pull-up bar that I hook the resistance bands around to do the pull up parts.
If you don't already have a mat, I'd get one.
Free weights (I have 10, 8, 5, and 3 lbs). I guess you could use resistance bands for this, too, but I prefer the weights for the arms/shoulders, etc.
You might want the push-up handle things. I haven't gotten any yet, but probably will.
As far as a recovery drink, you can get a regular protein shake of your choice. That Shakeology is pretty expensive (at least I think so).0 -

I used to when I first started working out in oct, but never felt it again...0 -
Deb,
I am new to MyFitnessPal but not P90X. I just finished the fourth week of my fourth round. I was wondering if how you report the p90x workouts in the exercise section. Are there particular categories you use?
I'm so glad you have started this thread because although I enjoy the p90x workouts, I find that I am less motivated to do them this time around. It 's getting a little old for me. I'm hoping that seeing how all of you are doing and the progress you are making will get and keep me motivated.

Hi Britt! Welcome to MFP! So, you're on your 4th round too, huh? Nice job! How were your results for the first 3 rounds? Is this the only BB program you've done so far?
I calculate my workouts using my BodyMedia; I've only had it for about a month, but before that, I had a HRM with a chest strap.
I'm glad you found us! We'll help motivate you girl! I am soooo excited and determined this round!
Dara: Love the new profile pic!
Tia: I personally use the bands for the pull ups, I get more of a burn from them. I also use the free weights too for the other routines but the bands work too; you make them as heavy of a resistence as you need. The Shakeology isn't used for a recovery drink, it's more of a meal replacement shake. But, as far as a recovery drink, choc milk will do the trick!

Deb,
Thanks for the tip about the HRM and BodyMedia. Yes, this is the only BB programs I've tried so far. I haven't had stunning results like so many people, but I was never really committed to the nutrition plan. So I haven't lost significant weight, however, I am stronger and my arms and legs are more defined. I know that if I want to see better results I have to start watching what I eat. I'm hoping the MFP will help me with that.
What other BB programs do you do and how do they compare?0
