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?

I completed a 90 day round last year. Started another round in Februay. today I do yoga for week 3.
I love the program just wish I would lose more weight.0 -
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.0

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.0 -
Starting tomorrow! All ready to go!0

I have been doing the videos for probably close to a year picking and choosing keeping in mind my other hobbies (snowboarding and running) not wanting to be too sore to do those things too but never followed the program 100%. Still not doing the diet but started the program today:) chest and back baby!!! Im gonna be SO sore tomorrow! I hope!0

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.0 -
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!0

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).0

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.0
-
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!0 -
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!0
-
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.0
-
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!0 -
Finished round 1 a year ago and dropped 23 pounds and felt great ... going through round two currently and am seeing a nice change to my overall body shape and tone .. definitely a fan.0
-
I am on week 4 day 1, Yoga tonight, I hate Yoga! lol but so far love the program feeling great Lost about 10 pounds on it so far!0

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.0

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.0

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...0

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!0 -

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.0 -
Liss - I'm surprised you say there's not enough cardio. Plyometrics and Kenpo are both totally cardio, and I honestly find myself huffing and puffing for everything except arms and back, but maybe that's just because I'm out of shape
For those of you who are picking and choosing - try the Yoga at least once. I'm totally not a yoga person, but it kicked my butt. It's not your mom's yoga, for sure.0 -
The yoga is tough! All those vinyasas at the beginning! I made it about 30 minutes in and then could no longer push myself out of plank. lol I was done!0
-
I've been doing it for two months! I've lost 16.4 pounds so far! But I also drink shakeology, which boosts weight loss and gives you more energy! I am loving my results!0

Starting week 11 today. Last year I did 60 days before stopping (right about the time I got comfortable with the results). I've only lost about 5 lbs but about 4 inches in my waist. I don't follow the nutrition guide. I keep protein high, lately have been playing with carbs and try to stick to healthy fats. I also eat close to 1900 cals. I stalled when eating less.0

Right here! I'm on day 10 of the lean program for multiple reasons. First, I tried the classic and it was a bit too much for me right now and my heaviest weights are only 6 lbs. Also, I love cardio so lean just seemed like a plan I could stick to for 90 days. Once im done with all 90 days, I might go out and get some heavier weights, maintain my results for a couple weeks, and then start classic
Bring it!0 -
I'm in the middle of my first recovery week. I hate recovery weeks lol. I'm not seeing big scale losses, but I don't have much to lose so it's no big deal . I'll be doing my thirty day measurements on Sunday, and I hope to see some inch loss at least. If not, ya I'll be disappointed, but I'm stronger now than I was before and that counts for lots too!
Last year I did 60 days and saw awesome results, but I was doing c25k as well so I'm still trying to I corporate more cardio into the program. I like to do cardio everyday, so having only two days a week for cardio just seems like not enough (for me anyway).0 -
I'm on week 4 day 2 of P90X. I'm not following the diet guide but I have cleaned up my eating. I really haven't seen any weight loss results yet. i have noticed more energy and strength. I've read a lot of people see the most results in the last 30 days. I'm gonna stick it out this time. I made it to day 39 last time.0

I did 3 rounds of P90X last year and it totally changed my body. I love it. I still use several of the videos in my current weekly mix.
I did NOT follow the eating plan and still had tremendous results. I did use an HRM when I was doing it, and generally stayed under my MFP net goal. I didn't eat back all of my exercise calories, but that's a controversial personal choice. I had to increase my calories after a few weeks because I had dropped 8 lbs without even trying.
I went into P90X at my goal weight, though. I did it to change some fat into muscle and boy did it do that.
I personally don't think it's necessary to follow the exact eating plan recommended by P90X to have success - doing what has made you successful already on MFP should work just fine. I do think it's necessary, however, to follow the workout plan to a tee. This is what gave me great results and much better results than others who skipped workouts or changed them around.
Best of luck! Stick with it and you'll love your new, completely changed body at the end!0 -
I am in my 2nd month of P90X. I just started recovery week last night which means Core Synergistics X is on tap this evening. So far 11 lbs lost and incredible gains in strength. My increased effort during cardio days is through the roof. I love the program.0
