    Oh good for you! :drinker: Even better that you put it in a public posting. I think that is an excellent modivator, because then everyone else can see your progress and it encourages you and them. :flowerforyou: I just got my husband to start P90X and I'm really excited for him to get all sexified. :laugh: :bigsmile:

    In addition to "bringing it" to the workouts, use the nutrition guidelines for P90X. You will find that a good, clean diet will work wonders for you. Every bit as important as the workouts. Just don't get too fixed on the scale. You WILL put on a decent amount of muscle weight and you will lose a lot of fat. Rely on the mirror, not so much the scale!

    Keep up the hard work. You will definately see results from your 30 day pics. I agree, don't just use the scale to monitor progress. I went and bought some skin calipers to track progress. I have reached my ideal weight but I am still trying to lose a little fat and add a little muscle while staying at 190 lbs (6' 2").

    this is what I ate today.. is this too little is my body going to go into starvation mode, or is this a safe way to loose my goal weight ?(20lbs) to get to my correct BMI

    I'm trying to follow the p90x phase 1 fat shredder plan 50% protien 30%carbs 20%fat its hard to get the protein without the carbs.. , but its hard to find good things to eat when I'm at work at the Fire station.. any tips or am I doing ok?


    are there any supplements out there that have a ton of protein , with no or few carbs?

    I use the Body Fortress Whey Protein from Walmart. It is very high in protein 26 grams per scoop and very low in carbs like 2 grams per scoop. I do add it to milk which adds some carbs and it makes it taste like chocolate milk. It also contains a little creatine which helps during and after the workouts. It is pretty good quality protein for the price (around $13). I couldn't see how many calories you are consuming, but if it is around 2000 it is probably right.

    To lose around 2 lbs per week, you need to have around 7000 calorie deficit each week or about 1000 per day. So in general if you burn 3000 calories per day, you need to consume around 2000 calories per day. There are formulas to calculate how many calories you burn but they are just estimates, so you will have to use your judgement to make sure you are getting enough calories so your body is only losing fat and not muscle. This is also why it is important to get enough protein.
