I'm on day 34 and I've lost 2 pounds of fat and gained 4 pounds of muscle so far. Today, I'm adding a Shaun T Rockin' Body workout to every sunday to learn how to dance. Who else is doing / has done p90x?

    Did you follow the diet for the first round? I began incorporating a few of the p90x meals in my diet last week and some of them are delicious! Especially the italian meatloaf and island pork. But I couldn't follow the diet calendar because I refuse to eat seafood or eggs.

    I just officially started Saturday. I'd done 4 or 5 of the workouts last week, but needed to go out and buy some dumbells for workouts that need them. Luckily I figured out how hard plyometrics was last week, so I could pace myself this week.

    As for the nutrition - I'm not following their nutrition guide, but it doesn't look totally out of whack. Looks like they're giving you a lot of protein and enough calories for losing about a pound a week for the first month. Didn't look too closely at later months.

    On week 2 of another round of P90X Lean. Honestly, I've never done more than 60 days at at time, but I love the workouts. It's amazing how far I've come from my first attempt! I'm so much stronger and my endurance has improved probably 3 fold. And, I am going to kick Ab Ripper X in the butt before it's all over! I'm up to 25 reps of almost all of them now... but I don't take my hands off the floor unless everyone in the video has their hands off the floor. That is my next challenge!

    But, can't say I'm "cut" yet. :)

    P.S. I have not followed the diet, though. However, thanks for the recipe tips. I'm always willing to try a good one, as long as it's not complicated to make!

    I think really following the workout regimen is the best way to see results from the program. And of course, eating right. I might not be following their nutrition guide, but I'm doing more or less the same thing, just being a little less anal about numbers of portions (but still high protein and low calorie).

    I'm starting the fitness test tonight. I am excited but nervous. I had taken two weeks off of exercise while on vacation and hit the gym with my pt on Sat and I'm still sore. I am not putting it off any longer though. Tonights the night.

    I'm not doing it yet (although I have borrowed it and have watched a bit of it). I want to get there, but I'm working my way up. I think I will try to start it closer to the summer when it's very light out in the morning - it will be easier for me to get up early enough, then, because the workouts are so long!

    Best of luck to all of you!

    I don't stick to an actually program, but I alternate between rockin' body and the p90x videos - 6 days a week. I am currently also doing the push up. sit up and squat challenges. Love rockin' body though doesn't even feel like I am working out, but still seeing great results! :)

    I try to do the Ab Ripper once a week, at least 15-20 reps if I can't keep up with the 30 or so in the video. I did the Yoga one a few times but found that they change poses too quickly for me to follow comfortably. Worried about hurting myself focusing more on catching up than good form.

    I'm almost at the end of week three but I'm only doing the weights videos. I do my own thing on the other days: swim, bike, run or yoga.

    I haven't really tried any of the recipes other than the Fish Tacos in the P90X2 book. Delicious!

    To really drop the weight you have to really follow the eating plan on beachbody.com. Most of the ones that have really done a great job also use the shake that goes with it. I have done the program once and am now going to start my second round. I do not lose a ton of weight, but I do notice sizes going down. So really watch your inches as well. That is where you might see the bigger difference.

    I just finished week 3 day 1... chest and back and ab ripper. Still sore. Seeing progress - more push-ups today than last week! I have to do the bands for all the pull and chin-ups. Kind of a bummer... I bought the pull up bar (and one from a different company), but they don't fit in any of my doorways. I'm going to eventually try to come up with a makeshift attachment so that it will fit, but I don't want it to delay the program. I do love it, but I'm a cardio junkie, so on one hand the program is making me lift which I had put on the back burner... but on the other hand, I miss my cardio. I try to add extra cardio, but can't often exercise for 2 hours a day. I do follow the meal plan for the most part. It wasn't much different than how I normally eat... except I wasn't drinking protein shakes. Love the smooth orange one that came with the program. Tastes like an Orange Julius.

    How's the rockin' body? I just saw it online... $19... cheap. Read mixed reviews, but it may be a fun cardio... let me know what you think...

    I just finished the fit test and boy... do I feel like a fat slob.
    Seriously, I feel so out of shape now. It actually makes me want to quit. I know that it's just a test though. I know that when I start that actual P90X tomorrow I will do what I can at my own pace. I will go out of my comfortzone and push myself though. Oh god. This is gonna be tough, but BRING IT!

    Same here, but I just started a couple of weeks ago. I am planning on doing the Chest/Back, Plyo and Arms/Shoulders for a while while doing my training runs on the other four days.
