Hey Y'all,
I am about a week into this site and still trying to figure it out. I always quit any diet that I am on or any exercise program that I start. I finally just decided that this is something that I want to do for myself and not anyone else. My husband P.Ts all the time since he is a Marine and I am the one sitting on the couch watching tv. So I decided to get P90X and follow their 90 day plan and see what happens. In one week I lost 5 lbs and my body was hurting, so I knew it was working. But now in week 2, I have not lost any weight and I am starting to get disappointed again. I am hoping by logging my food on this site it will help me see exactly what I am putting in my body. Looking forward to accomplishing my personal goal.

    One way to look at it - on Biggest Loser (if you watch) week 2 is usually a very tough week for the contestants...maybe your body is doing the same thing...just keep at it I've only heard good things about the results from P90X.

    You can do it!

    Hey I currently live in SC too! Don't get discouraged.....look into your inches and not so much pounds. My mom did P90 and didn't lose a pound until her 3rd week but she lost a "few" inches during the 1st 2 weeks! Hang in there and logging everything you eat definitely helps because it'll make you more accountable. Good luck and kudos for doing P90...I tried it and it just wasn't motivating/fun for me :grumble:

    Thanks I have to admit the workout alone doesn't get me excited, and I am doing it by myself. But I have friends who did well with it.
