Hey hey,

my 2nd day on the forums, i just got thru with p90x shoulders and arms ab ripper x, this is my 3rd week of the lean program

Im doing pretty good on the food part, i was at my brothers this weekend and i did pretty bad, Mexican restaurant for lunch, Mmmmm Cheese Dip, and tortillas are my downfall(I can eat my weight in that stuff) , i felt so bad after I ate that I went for a walk (4.8 miles in 1.5 hrs) My Watch said I burned 1552 Calories, so i dont feel as bad. but im back on track and hitting it hard.

any guys or P90xers here? got success stories?

    Hang in there. It works, I noticed changes in strength, toning, etc. until I injured myself. So I am going to do a "modified" P90X to protect my left shoulder. Going to do Plyo now. Go on WOWY. It's a great site and you sure see results there! I'll be your buddy!!:happy: I'd like to punch Drea though. :laugh:

    Good for you!!! My hubby just finished up Shoulders & Arms also!! You will see results, just keep at it! I personally have used the program since April of 2007. I have gone from doing a few pushups on my toes and NO pullups to doing at least 30 pushups a day and full pullups/ chinups, etc!! I love it! My hubby has lost 17# and gotten in incredible shape too!

    Let me know if you have any questions, I'm a Team Beachbody coach and would be more than happy to help you!

    did Legs and back today, I still am using the bungy thingys lol I have the max med and small bands hook tho, but the pull up bar is rated 300 lbs max and Im 318 so I dont want to try it yet

    its was a decent workout, lol my 3 yr old interrupted me a bit but i stayed the course,

    the Groucho march SUCKS and so do wall squats, those are awful

    also the lunges where u stay on ur tippy toes for like 2.5 minutes :angry: ZOMG that hurts lol

    Just say NO to junk food!!!! You really need to be careful at parties like that! Make sure to pack a protein bar or healthy snacks to be prepared for that! Here's my *smack on the hand* and get back to routine. You want to see results, you need to keep the eating as clean as possible.

    Get ready for Phase 2!!!
