  • Nah, I disagree. I did the original P90X when I was 23 or something and got into crazy shape. Now at 33 and 40 lbs heavier (when I started), there's no way in hell I'd have been able to jump straight into P90X/2/3 without some sort of "warm up" to get back to basic fitness. The workouts are too damn hard for someone who…

  • The guy that posted the Fake Taxi is a legend. Hilarious. :D For me... the Lotus Elise is an actually achievable dream car at around $30,000 to $45,000 USD... not too much more than a decent sedan.

  • Yeah, I'll double down on the Beachbody On-Demand. Really cheap, especially since most people only use the programs for 90 days and it comes with the first 30 days free. If you don't already have a Chromecast or an Apple TV, I'll also recommend you buy a Google Chromecast. This is a cheap (under $50) little device that…

  • Hey, thanks for all the feedback. I'm down at 211.8lbs today, roughly 6 days after I posted this initially. My goal was 1lb/week, and this seems to be closer to a 1.5lb/wk loss rate, now that things have settled. My June 7th weight was 219lbs, as someone asked, so a 6lb drop. I figured water/not as much food in my…

  • I'm aiming to lose 50lbs (225lbs to 175lbs) and started June 1st. Already lost 9.2lbs doing P90 and a 500 calorie deficit per day (note that it's unhealthy to go below 1200cals/day for more than a handful of days, just in case a 500 calorie deficit would put you in that zone). One thing I suggest - break your goal into 20…

  • The numbers were more to illustrate a point, rather than to be accurate, but you're correct based on what I posted. Main points are: 1) 1600cals/day is aggressive at his weight/height and he should be losing fat if he's keeping to those numbers. 2) He should increase his calories if he wants to add muscle mass. 3) If he's…

  • Someone else mentioned "eating back the calories". One of the things MyFitnessPal does is add on any exercised calories back to your food allowance.... so in other words if you burn 200cals on a jog, MFP will boost your food allowance from 1600 to 1800 for that day. You might be able to switch this off in settings. I…

  • If you're lifting 5x per week, you're adding muscle mass. Could be that your gains in muscle and losses in fat have been equal for the past few weeks. That makes a lot of sense to me given that at 1600 cals/day you were only losing about a pound per week. You were probably actually losing something like 2-3lbs/week, but…
