So I just finished day 12 of P90x... My body is definitely changing, but in some ways it looks worse in the interim...Anyone else experience this?

My thighs have gone down 1.5 inches but look lumpier. My tummy has more muscle underneath but its not laying as flat.

*sigh* I wish I could see what I'll look like in 78 more days now so I'd know this is worth it.

Also the first week I gained weight. I don't know about this week because I'm only weighing myself on Sunday's in Lent. I'm trying to eat between 1800-2000 calories considering I want to build muscle and lose weight.

Any thoughts or encouragement? Am I the only one that feels like an uglier duckling lol.

    I know what you are saying. My waist looks so weird to me, but I actually lost 2.5 inces off of it this month. I thought for sure I had gotten larger in that area. Just remember, you are on a journey and it will all be sooooo worth it!

    yesss! i've always wanted a FLAT stomach but my body refuses. although my stomach is thin, i have muscular abs now & they stick out :( which is ok in a bathing suit cause you can see it's not fat... but when i wear shirts/dresses that are tight it just looks like a big tummy. sucks.

    Then depending on your age and skin condition things may sag, wrinkle more. Just remember that the changes on the inside are so much more important as is the the ability to participate more in life. It is worth it.....
