Looking for other P90 Support

Another question...
My husband is doing P90 with me as well. He is uncertain as to how many calories he should be consuming.
He is 5'10 and weighs 178 currently. He wants to be around 165 lbs.
I believe that P90 plan told him to be at 2,000 calories per day, but other sources have said much less..
What do you think his target caloric intake should be?
I've been trying to convert him, however he's using the Lose It app on his phone which he loves!! He's not interested in switching. Makes me sooo mad cause we are doing this together, but whatever...to each his own, I suppose.
The meal plan that comes with Power 90 is a 1500-1700 calorie per day play depending on whether or not you eat snacks. It's just a blanket plan with no real customization other than some general recommendations about eating more if you're more active. Why don't you have him set up an account here on MFP? That would probably be easiest.0 -
Day 27 of my Power 90 re-start! Shoulders are feeling good, form is tight. Bring It!0

Day 48 Power 90 Sweat/Abs 3-4 Done!
Let us know where your at on your journey.
I am on Day 30....Instead of doing the Sweat 1-2 I did a 30 min walk/jog and realized I miss it as my main form of cardio. I am trying to think of some ways I can incorporate walk/run into my P90 routine. Any suggestions?
I feel I need to move on to Phase 3-4 but I would be a crazy person to add both at the same time. Maybe I should start Sculpt 3-4 and keep my runs as cardio and the next week add Sweat 3-4 with a one mile run...I really don't want to add more time onto my workourts...I have three girls, wk full-time, and alot going on!0 -

Several folks on the BB forums add a light jog on their Sculpt days since those burn less calories. I'm considering adding a bike ride or the Couch to 5k once the weather warms up.0 -
Hello Mike, Brent, and the rest of the gang...........
Well today was technically day 8 for me, but I took the last three days off after my rest day on Wednesday. I worked 12 hrs shifts last week and it is a challenge to drum up the energy to get the exercise in getting home after 6 on a good day. The plague that has been running rampant at my house the last 2 weeks finally caught up with me Thursday. Friday I was a hurtin' unit. Was going to try and do something yesterday, but never made it. Today, even though I still feel pretty much like crap, I knew I had to get after it or it would become easier to say no tomorrow. Well it wasn't pretty, but I managed an hour on the t-mill then the Sweat 1-2. Had to take a minute or two before the abs, but got it done. Looks like I'll manage to come in about 2.5lbs lighter this week so progress is still being made. I hope the rest of you are all well and making headway in our quest for better health.0 -
Hi Jim,
Glad to hear you were able to push through and get your burn on. I admire your ability to get in doubles! I hope you and the rest of the family feel better soon. KPP!0 -
Jim, glad your feeling better. Doing doubles your first day back is amazing. Make sure not to over do it.
Shanell18, To be honest I'm not sure. I feel like I need to stick with P90 and not mix it up. But that's just me because I'm a control nut and if I waver from it, I won't know if my results were from one or the other. I try to get out on nicer days at lunch for 30 minutes and walk around the work campus. But my son will be starting Lacrosse 6 days a week in a couple of weeks...he's been asking me what he should do. To be honest...I just don't know.
P.S. - How were your Day 30 results? Any pictures or measurements taken compared to day 1?0 -
How does everyone keep track of what day they are on? Ive been needing a good way to keep up with it im not sure what day this is for me lol ....i gotta count on here to find out lol0

I sometimes go for a walk on my days off or weekends at the park....and sometimes i do bout 20 or 30 mins on treadmill if i got time but i dont cut out a day of p90 if i do that stuff just a bonus....Im not sure how u can incorporate it into your p90 tho.....yeah im thinking around mu 30 days im gonna go to 3-4 im feeling really good with 1 -2 right now got it down im just on day 13 right now....i understand bout not wanting to add more time to workout i have a little girl also got my hands full so if i do more usually at the park she likes me to push her around the track i enjoy it alot=)0 -
I just have it on a calendar app, so I can track what I've done with each workout (and when).
Shanelle, even though I've only been doing P90 a week now, I did switch and do Your Shape on Kinect (Xbox 360) for my cardio session on my third Cardio workout last week. I hadn't done Your Shape since I started P90, and there are quite a few moves that are similar in what I do with both, so it was nice to vary it up just a tad. I did make sure to do the same stretching I do with P90, do the same amount of time, and I did do the P90 Ab Ripper following my Your Shape workout. As long as I'm not straying too much from the P90 workout, it seems like that will be ok. The same may work for you in finding ways to incorporate other workouts or running into your P90 schedule.
For those who have finished P90 however many times, what seems to be a good plan for maintaining. I'm not sure I'll want to go for P90X, and I'm getting close to a weight I'm happy at maintaining. As I'm not looking to get ripped, just building some muscle tone, and exercising regularly is what I'm looking for right now.0 -
Hi everyone! I am on Day 23 of Power 90 and I am loving it. I have so much more energy now for other things it's great. So far in the three weeks and a bit, I have lost almost 6 lbs and already lost three inches off my waist!
I have a hard time with the push ups and until I can master those I am not ready to move to phase 3/4.....
Good luck to everyone with your 90 days!! ♥0 -
Everyday when I complete my diet & exercise diary it says in 5 weeks I will be approximately 10 lbs lighter if I continue with in the same manner. Those of you that have been doing this for a while, have you found that to be true? Does MFP accurately predict what your weightloss will be?0

Did you not get the wall calendar that came with the discs?0 -

I don't pay attention to it, it only takes that one day into account. I suppose I could eat the same thing for 5 weeks and see but as long as the scale keeps trending downward, I don't care.0 -

I'm still in loss mode so I don't have personal experience but a lot of people mix and match different workouts to keep things fresh. BB has several other "entry level" vids that you could use and not need to move on to the more advanced ones.0 -

Ive had P90 a few years now...I did it like 10 days then stopped at first cuz started working 12 hour days at a very active job....so ive lost some stuff all i have is dvds and bands0 -
Gotcha, hate it when that happens, lol. I used the wall calendar for my first round but this time I just marked the 30/60/90 day points on my regular calendar and I log it every day in WOWY on the BB site. Hoping to win the daily prize!0

Hey all!
I started Power 90 this morning, Sculpt 1-2, and it felt great! I was able to do 10 regular pushups, 10 wide pushups, and then for the 7-7-7 I did 7-6-4... The chair dips are crazy hard!!! I was only able to do 4, and that was modified with my feet in close and my knees bent. Overall not too bad I think!
Sweat 1-2 and Ab Ripper 100 tomorrow!! Hope everyone has a great workout today!

Welcome Mike!
Sounds like you're off to a roaring start, great stuff You'll be surprised at how soon you can improve on those push-ups and dips. KPP! 0 -
Welcome Mike!
It gets easier as you go=) I know couldnt do push up right to save my life now i bust through them and this is only day 14 for me! Now the dips i have trouble with still lol I'll get there tho! Keep it up and the work will pay off!0 -

Ive been put the day in my exercise notes so it helps...But i might just start doing the wowy site also=)0 -
Hi Mike! Sounds like you had a great first day! Today is only Day 8 for me, so you aren't far behind me. I love seeing all the people here doing this same progam as me. So inspirational.
Hey, anyone taking the supplements? I just take a vitamin everyday. But I wonder if the supplements are worth it.0 -
Welcome Mike to P90. It is a great program and its fun to see how everyone else here is doing.0

I used to take the ActiVit multivitamins but stopped those once I started Shakeology. I also take the Performance Formula and recently started using the P90X Recovery drink. I think the Shakeology is great for a whole host of reasons, not the least of which is I no longer need Metamucil. The Performance formula helps me "bring it" a little harder, I take it when I get home and then work out an hour later and I can tell a difference on the days I forget to take it. The Recovery Drink really helps ease muscle soreness. I was previously using generic creatine powder or whey protein but neither was anywhere near as good as the recovery drink.0 -
Thanks Brent. You answered my question about the Recovery formula.0

Jim, glad your feeling better. Doing doubles your first day back is amazing. Make sure not to over do it.
Shanell18, To be honest I'm not sure. I feel like I need to stick with P90 and not mix it up.

P.S. - How were your Day 30 results? Any pictures or measurements taken compared to day 1?
The results were good for what I put into it. I lost 4 pounds and .5 inch for most areas. I took pics and you can see the difference. Just kind of miss running. I came to conclusion that I will add walk/run when I can.
I did day Day 31 Sculpt 3-4 and the max squats and push ups killed me....Before I couldn't really do any push-ups now I can do 16 without feeling like I am dying......0 -
Brent, thanks for the info. I don't think I could do the performance stuff since I get up and workout first thing in the AM.0

I take the supplements before i work out bout 30 mins or so...I think they help i havent really been that sore the next day so ya think the help like Brent said i can tell a difference if i dont take them!0 -
Day 9 Sculpt 1-2 complete. I think I need to increase my weights next time. Or go back to the band. I didn't burn as many calories and the reps weren't really a struggle at all.
Getting out of bed before 5 am is sure a struggle though. No matter what time I get in bed I still just want to keep sleeping when the alarm goes off.0
