Hi there! My name is Katie and I am going to start P90X on Monday! I've never tried it before, so I'm starting with 2 lb weights lol, but if I need to I'll move up to 5 lbs, maybe even more!

I can't do any pull ups. Hopefully I can after 90 days. ;)

I would like to have a VERY SMALL group of 5 ladies on here (NO MORE, SORRY) that will start on August 1st and follow it religiously! We will be doing the Classic schedule.

I already have a friend on here (hi Sarah!) that wants to do it, so including me, we only need 3 more women! Interested??

Yay!!! I can't wait. :)

    Just one bit of advice (I'm on P90X week 5) for the pull-ups...consider using a band over a door at first. It's a great way to build up to using a pull-up bar later.

    Hi Katie

    My boyfriend has started on P90X a week ago and he's already started to see results - amazing!

    If you need anyone to make up numbers I'll be happy to do it with you .... although I also cannot do any pull ups !! hehehehe

    I am new on here so will update my profile with photos and goals, but basically I have about 2 stone to lose after a year of being a lazy cow and eating too much and not exercising at all.

    Stacey :)

    Sorry, I should have introduced myself properly !!

    Yes, I am Leigh - after doing well with my eating / exercise for a month or so, I was only 3lbs away from my goal weight, however unfortunately at the time I could not see any difference so I gave up and am now 1stone away from goal weight (and looking back at pictures, I CAN now see the difference) !!!!

    I find a challenge and a support group is so encouraging to keep you going xx

    TiaUti - Yes! I have a stretch band to go around my pull up bar. :)
    Stacey - What do you mean "make up numbers?" Lol sorry, it's late. :P You mean you want to start August 1st with us?
    Leigh - Great to meet you!! How many lbs is a stone? :)

    Hey Katie - The "make up numbers" is a bit of a local english saying so sorry I should of made myself clearer ...it was my very backward way of saying i'd love to join you if there was still space in your group! :)

    Sooo excited to start this with you Katie! My P90X has been collecting dust since I got pregnant with Mya. The work outs are super intense, but it feels amazing to get through one!

    Katie - 1stone = 14lbs xx

    Do I need a pull-up bar to complete this ?????

    No, you can just use resistance bands! I bought a set of 5 and they came with the thing so you can use it with a door. :) I just got a pull up bar because it also has the push-up handles and dip handles on it. :)

    If there is one more gal who would like to join us, feel free! If not I think we've got a great group <3

    Oh that's good - I was beginning to think I wouldn't be able to complete it but I do have a resistance band so hopefully I will be able to manage everything !!!

    Not long before the big day lol xx

    Hey ladies, looking forward to it - can I just ask, does anyone know how long each section lasts?
    I'm going to have to fit it in around my two young children so wondering whether to just do it when they are in bed - plus I am returning to work soon so won't have time to do it in the day anyway lol xx

    Sadly I am not going to be able to join in the challenge this time :( I had an MRI this week and it showed a lot of bad things going on with my spine :( Doctor said no P90X for me :( Good luck!!

    Take it easy girl!!! Give your back some time to chill out. Pregnancy can really mess it up lol. We'll be thinking of you. <3

    So that makes 4 of us... maybe our group name can have something to do with the number 4? Come on ladies, I'm not creative at all... lol.
