I'm starting P90X (lean program) today! I am looking for some MFP buddies to add for accountability and motivation :) Add me as a friend if you are interested!

I only need to lose 10 lbs, so I will need to push hard to meet my goal. The less you have to lose, the more dedicated you have to be. I'm ready to commit myself to this!

    I am going to start P90X tomorrow (April 1st). I was so addicted to my scale the last time I tried to do it, I stopped after 2 weeks because I wanted instant gratification and wasn't getting it. That was last year. Now I'm 20 lbs lighter and more interested in seeing changes in my body verses pounds lost, though I still have some pounds to lose. I am so glad I found this forum because I will definitely need motivation and encouragement since I am the only one in my house that is doing this. Are you ladies working out in the morning or evening?

    I plan on starting a hybrid p90x program in the next week or two, whenever I get a pull up bar and some heavier dumbbells. I've been doing the couch to 5k so I think I'm just going to do the strength/weight workouts for p90x and then do C25K on the other days (in place of plyo, kenpo and yoga) I hope that's ok lol...

    Hi All.

    I started the classic round of P90X on Saturday. I've completed 2 rounds of P90X before and got great results. I got more into running (ran two 1/2 marathons) so I haven't done strength training for just about a year. My of my, how my strength has diminished. I have about 10 pounds to lose but I'm more interested in toning up. You would think that running (and training for a 1/2 marathon) would trim you down, but it didn't.

    I did shoulders & arms this morning. I love this workout. My legs are killing me from yesterday's Plyo workout. I remember the first week being very sore but as the weeks went on the soreness went away.

    I just finished my forst 2 weeks this morning!! Love me some ken po!!! I weigh in in the morning...the first week I only lost 1.6 pounds :/ but I was only eating 1200 cal a day. I upped it a lil so hopefully Ill have a good loss tomorrow!!!
    I LOVE p90x...Tony is a machine and the work outs rock!! I am wanting to start training for road races again..I used to be a runner logging 40 to 50 miles a week and would LOVE to get back into racing too...

    Legs & Back completed this morning. I forgot how tough this workout was. My legs were definately feeling it when I was done. Tried to push my self on the pullups. I'm waiting for the pullup assist kizmo to come in the mail. I'm determined to be able to do unassisted pullups by the end of this round.

    I am on wk 6 of p90x I am not following the nutrition plan though. I am just using myfitnesspal and trying to eat clean. I am doing the doubles schedule. Like you I only need to lose about 10 more pounds but I think it has been the hardest thing I have ever tried to do.

    I've gone through P90X a few times. As well as X+ and X2. Doing my own hybrid of the 3 at the moment, still using the original routines. Feel free to add me for advice, motivation, etc. It's a fantastic program.

    Kenpo completed this morning and with it brings the end of week 1. Still don't know if I like Kenpo - in my previous rounds I ended up using some wrist weights to help with the intensity (and calorie burn). Scale did not budge but I know from experience that it won't move in the early part of the program. Keep at it and the scale will move and your clothes will feel looser.

    Off day tomorrow but will probably get some kind of activity in.

    What kind of weights are you girls using for this? I plan on starting soon, but want to have the right weights.

    I have 5 lb, 7 lb, 10 lb and 15 lb weights. I also have some adjustable weights (with the weight plates) so I can move up in weight as I get stronger. In my previous rounds I was doing 20 lbs for most of the bicep and shoulder exercises.

    This is what I am doing this round too... P90X weight training while completing the Bridge to 10K schedule. I think that it will work great!

    gOOD Luck... feel free to add me. This is round 2 of the X and I had GREAT success the first round.

    I'm on week 5 of P90X (should be much further along but have kind of spread it out a bit...). I was doing the classic for the first 4 weeks, but switched over to the lean and will be following that schedule from now on. Feel free to add me as well! I could use the motivation and support to keep going and to keep pushing play! :)
