    I have completed p90x three times but I have to do it on silent because I think tony Horton is one of the most annoying individuals I have ever come across. It definitely works though but in this case silence is golden.

    I also started this morning, after doing some of the cardio work outs last week to get me ready and in the zone. I am a supporter of "MODIFY, MODIFY, MODIFY". Starting at 280 pounds (down from 344) there is some stuff I simply can't do yet (diamond push-ups anyone?) so I modify and keep moving during those exercises. I'd love to join a group if you guys start one.

    I am in week 11 on my second round. The first round I did it in 2010. May 1st will be 2 years since I decided to commit and P90x transformed my body.
    I finished in July 2010 and kept working out here and there until I decided to do a serious round again in Jan 1 of this year. I lost over 25 pounds with my first round and I have lost around 9 pounds with this round.

    One think to keep in mind is that you might want to lose the scale, at least for the first few weeks. Your sore muscles will accumulate water and you might see an increase in the scale. This will go away but if you are obsessed about the numbers on the scale you need to keep this in mind. Take your measurements because that is where your will truly see results.

    Good luck to everyone.

    To whoever said to form a group, I think that will be a good idea.

    My husband and I just ordered P90X and we can't wait for it to come in the mail. I am guessing we will start next Monday, 3/19. Reading everyone's posts has been great. I'll keep checking in to see how everyone is doing.

    I'm in my first recovery week. I'm a little sad that I'm not lifting weights this week!

    Instead of doing YogaX yesterday, I went to hot yoga to work on using up the passes I have.

    Here is a mix of where I started at and where I am today (finishing my second round this week!).

    My P90X adventure started in May 1st 2010. I finished my first round on July 30 2010. During my first round I went from 155 to 127.

    Between then and now, I didn't really workout that much but did some programs like BBL that helped me maintain. I decided to do another round in Jan 1st 2012.

    I started at around 129 and looked softer than when I finished in July 2010. My last week of P90X round 2 starts this week (3.18.12). Starting point was around 129 and today I am at 119.5. My original goal in Jan 1 2012 was to be at 121. I reached this about 2 -3 weeks ago. I then changed it to 118. I think that I am almost there but won't be a big deal if I never reach it.

    I just wanted to share this with those that care to read it to show you that if you work on it, you can achieve whatever you want.

    Keep Bringing it and pushing play!

    I'm in round 2, week 3 of the classic version. I don't think I've ever been stronger in my whole life and it's only gonna get better. Plus, I can do for-real pushups now.
    I hated Ab Ripper x at first but now I'm loving it, started seeing results after the first few times I did it!

    Good luck with your P90x journey! I'm just starting week 9 and feel so much stronger than I did on week 1. It's great that you're both doing it as you'll have eachother for encouragement too! I done my workout at 7am today and I can feel what I done in the workout! It's great because you really do challenge yourself and because of the structure of the program you won't get bored. Have fun!

    Hey all, I have a small question.. I am on day 9 when will I see numbers on the scale drop? I know I shouldn't expect a ton and I don't but my weight has stayed dead even! I feel like I am noticing small changes in my body but not sure if that's a mental thing haha! Have not skipped a day just wondering what everyone else's experience is with this?
