in Introduce Yourself
New to this forum and just wanted to say hi and see if anyone is currently doing P90X? I am in week 2, day 3 and it is hurting me bad. I probably should have started with an easier programs but I need to get it done. I have 50 lbs to lose and I am hoping to see my abs after about 20 years. Give me a shout if you have any P90x tips or if you are in the program as well.

    Welcome. There are a couple of great threads on here. Here's a link to one

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/47645-p90x-starting-a-new-thread

    I'm on week 6 day 3. It's a great program. Just make sure you follow the eating plan as closely as you possible can. I keep hearing how that makes all the difference in the world.

    Too structured for me! But I do mix the P90X workouts into my personal routine. Seems to be working so far. I basically use this site and healthy food choices as my supporting diet plan.

    I did Ab RipperX the other day and my hip flexers... well lets just say it's the first time I ever felt them! PAIN! I've been doing ab routines for a while now but this session really ripped me. Guess that's why they call it Ab Ripper! :noway:

    I am on day 24 and have had great results. I stay slightly under the calories that they suggest so some of the workouts are a kinda tough to muscle through at times.... BUT.....

    17 pounds in 24 days..... and I am even seeing a bit (just a bit) of definition in the abs....

    I am sold on the program!

    Thanks for the support. My diet needs serious work. I have not gotten it right yet but I am working on it. I fall down on my carb intake and my protein intake is still way too high. I have been extremely sore and I lack the flexibility for the yoga. I guess it will come with time. Thanks again

    thanks for the support. 10lbs weight loss already is awesome. I need to get my diet in gear. I am fooling myself thinking the workouts are enough. Any tips?

    jeffrey...is the 60+ lbs that you've dropped all from P90X?

    I weigh in on Saturday and I'm projecting a 42-45 lb weight loss and 20% reduction in bodyfat (from 34-14%) for my first round. I've dropped nine notches on my belt loop and have gone from a 48 to a 36 jean.

    BR- Not all of the weight loss has been from P90X, probably about 15-20 pounds of it. When I started with it in December I had a body fat percentage of 17.5% I am now at 12.5%. I am 55 years old and I am thrilled and more than happy with the results. When I started to reclaim my body, I was at 272 pounds and had a 42" waist. I just bought new jeans this weekend 32x32. I would like to get to 190 pounds and a bf% of 8-9. I think it is doable. I am going to complete this second round then do a month of just cardio and abx then go to the P90X Plus for 2 rounds of it. My wife is a Dietician so I do not use their diet program. I eat a controlled amount of carbs and go a little heavy on the proteins. I do not use any supplements. I try to keep my calories at about 1800 per day. I eat a lot of fruit, and I believe in good calcium from skim milk. I also only eat whole grain breads when I eat them, which is not often.

    Let me know what you think of my program. You think my goals are realistic? Keep in mind, I am pretty well fit, but I am not young! LOL

    Fifty-five? You rock !! That is awesome !!! Keep up the good work.

    I just purchased the P90X Plus and Fountain of Youth yoga. I'm still looking over the Plus dvd's.

    I plan on doing a round of Plus and then my own P90X "Mass" rountine that I will be putting together to use with my Smith Machine, barbells, leg press, leverage squat, etc that I have in my garage.

    Hey Everyone!

    I'm currently on my first round of P90X and I love it! I'm trying to lose my last little bit of baby weight. I'm on my 5th week, 2nd day. I have definately slimmed down and gained muscle. However, I feel like I need to lose some more weight in order to defined instead of.... bulky/chunky. I'm sticking to the nutrition plan, but I have trouble keeping my carbs up and go a little heavy on the protiens sometimes. I just added more cardio to my routine??? Any other ideas? Thanks!

    I'm about to pass out just thinking of that! I'm just excited to finish it once. I'm not sure what I'll do after round 1. I kind of miss some of the group classes at the gym.

    The other thing is... I"m not that creative! Give me a workout to follow or tell me what to do and I'm fine. I can't wait to hear how it goes. You'll be posting those pictures before you know it.

    Welcome-
    I'm at about 1 week ahead of you. I've lost 5 lb of the 12 I want to lose and can tell there's a change in my body. I did the same thing and lost 4 right away, stalled, now in week 6 I've dropped another lb. I figured out I wasn't eating enough cals. Once I went back up to 1800, I started losing again.
