    I love beachbody programs. I did a full round of p90x and then insanity. I'm considering doing the hybrid next. I do not use shakeology though.

    I have lost over 25 pounds doing Turbofire and Slim in 6. I gained it back to due to my own fault and now I am working on losing the weight again. I am now using Turbofire and Chalean Extreme and I will get the weight back off and then some.

    I did P90X last year for 2 weeks shy of the 90 days. Unfortunately, I didn't take measurements and I based my success / failure on the scale, which didn't budge. I did, however, get stronger as I went through the program.

    I quit shy of the 90 day mark due to being so discouraged since I wanted / needed to loose at least 30 pounds. My weight was maintained during the program, which I followed per their recommendations in the eating plan. It was suggested by my coach to join MFP so I did, but was at my frustration level and didn't continue much longer after joining.

    This time around, again the scale isn't moving, but I have completed Jillian 30DS (not beach body) and have lost at least 6 inches all over my body.

    May try the p90x again in a few weeks.

    When you do the Beach Body programs, and get yourself into a routine (watching your nutrition), you can't help but have results. I started with P90X, then went to Insanity and later P90X2. Now I just do a mix of the three. I don't do the whole shakeology bit. Can do quite well with protein powder from the store. No need to spend all the extra money. Just manage your nutrition. You will get good results.

    Shakeology isn't for weight loss, it's a healthy whole food supplement. Now most people do lose weight when they drink it, but for me it's been more about energy, immunity, and overall health. I have been on it for 2 years and I no longer get colds or allergy attacks. My immune system has been stronger than ever, my skin, hair and nails are healthier and I have more energy. I didn't get any of that from protein powders that I used to drink. Not trying to get you to buy it, just sharing what it has done for me.

    Did a session (90 days) of P90X while using Shakeology and had great results. I was also running a lot, but I was in the best shape of my life by the end. Had not seen my abs for 20 years...then they magically started to appear. Running again and ready to start another session to get rid of the last 20 pounds. Been using Shakes since last July and will probably use them always now as a meal replacement in the morning.

    I'm doing P90X right now and am having amazing results. I don't really follow the nutrition plan, but I keep tabs on here and watch my caloric intake.

    I have 21 days left and can't wait to see what I accomplished at the end, before I inevitably take a week off then hit play from day 1 again! :)

    I have done P90X, Insanity and Asylum many times through since mid 2010. I think each have specific advantages to one another. For me, P90X is great if I have laid off for a month or two as it seems to do a good job of total body strengthening. Insanity is great for high intensity training, and endurance and asylum seems to be more focused toward sports training and HITT. I would say after having done 2 full rounds of each of these programs, the routines get a little bit monotonous, so I like to do hybrids or mix in weights or additional core work. Also, for me, doing these programs alone will yield modest degrees of weight loss, and/or strength and muscle increase unless I firmly commit to my dietary goals. Currently I am in the 5th week of Insanity and following as the schedule shows except on recovery days, I do 1 hour of upper or lower body weight training. I also combine 4 days of Ab Ripper coupled with a few other specific rotational core strengthening moves. My dietary goals are about 500 calorie deficit with a 40/30/30 ratio of carbs, protein and fat. I also like to use pre-workout supplements (C4, AC/G3 or Platinum Pump Fuel) depending on whether I am lifting or just doing Insanity. Lastly, if I were just starting one of the BB programs, I would not start with Insanity or Asylum, especially if I had any knee or joint issues and/or was significantly overweight.

    That is amazing! I am on day four of Insanity, and I think I'll do power90 afterwards.

    I am just about to finish my first round of ChaLean Extreme. I absolutely love the program. I haven't seen the scale move a great deal (probably because I really don't have much weight to lose). But I have lost tons of inches take a look in my profile for my day 1/ day 30/ day 60 results in about 2 more weeks I will add day 90. I will be doing another round of CLX but adding Turbo fire and doing a hybrid mostly because I can burn as much calories doing TF in 20 minutes as the 45 minute CLX cardio and that is great for me since I hate cardio. I have also been drinking Shakeology through the whole process and I cannot say enough about the benefits. It is not just a meal replacement like so many believe.

    I agree with those that mentioned Shakeology. I love it, too! My favorite Shakeology recipe right now is the Chocolate made with almond milk and a little peanut butter. Fills in my cravings for sweets! I also did a juice cleanse earlier this year and didn't have the horrible side effects that can happen. I give Shakeology part of the credit, as I have been drinking shakes on a regular basis (4-5 a week) since shortly after it came out. I can feel the differences in my immune levels, digestion, and so forth as others have mentioned. I do feel it is worth the extra money and I plan accordingly as I know the value of it for me.

    Starting from the couch position (flat screen, dark beer, and family-size Buffalo-style Doritos w/dip all included in the couch position) 87 days ago, I started P90X. With three days left I have lost over 20 lbs (from last weigh-in), can do tons of push-ups, some unassisted pullups . . . and most importantly have been eating a healthier diet than I ever have in my life.

    And yes, I used Shakeology for the first half of the program, and it completely destroyed my stomach. Onward to food instead of shakes.

    Did 1 month of insanity in january. Got discouraged... started back up with p90x 6 weeks ago and have lost 15lbs total from when I started insanity. If only I would have stayed active between the programs. Currently at 217 but been here for couple weeks now hoping a drop is around the corner. I have eliminated soda and junk food. Have ate more veggies the past month than my 27 years of existence. Smoking has almost ceased to exist but the occasional beer and monster energy drink (yeah I know) sneak in more often than id like. Obviously im not following the meal plan but transition from other lifestyle to this should be much harder than this to the meal plan. Already got tapoutxt but will wait till p90x is done to get into that.

    I love Beachbody programs! I started my weight loss journey in January and I've done Slim in 6 (my least favorite), Turbo Jam, and I am on week 1 of ChaLean Extreme. I've gone from a size 20 down to a size 16, and I've lost 37 lbs so far.

    I've lost 30lbs, increased muscle & cardio endurance with P90X, Insanity & Chalean Extreme.

    Changing nothing in my diet other than adding Shakeology everyday, my cholesterol went down (I forgot how many points but I was close to needing meds and when I got retested 6 months later, I was in the healthy range) My blood sugars balanced (no longer pre-diabetic). I lowered my depression medication. I had (and still have) more energy. My hair grows fast (too fast actually!) my nails are stronger and my skin is clearer. I can't remember the last time I got sick.

    It is expensive-its $4 shake or $3 for coaches. It cannot be compared to 'less expensive" protein shakes because it is NOT a protein shake. I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy it, but I am defending the product because I have done my research and believe in the products. I had the honor of meeting the co-creator, Darin Olien, in Las Vegas two weeks ago and to hear his passion about nutrition and natural ingredients was just amazing. Please research each & every ingredient and you'll see why the price is more expensive than something sold in a supermarket.

    I was going to post a video about Shakeology here but it is considered advertising so I can't. Go to YouTube and search for "See What Doctors Are Saying about Shakeology" its pretty interesting to see what it does for the body, its not just about weight.

    I just love it! Can ya tell! lol :)
