Hi in Hypo as well. Been at my goal weight of lower 180's since July of 2012. I started my journey at 282 lbs. I eliminated all all my other meds beyond my hypo pill. I go in every 6 months to my Doc's office to make sure I'm still at the right dose. Good Luck !!

I'm coming off a round of P90x3 Mass, and Now I'm a month into Body Combat Ultimate Warrior. For me I don't feel as pushed because Combat doesn't make my body as sore on a daily bases as Mass did. However, I am using it to cut some weight off ...and the weight is indeed coming off. I do find Body Combat to be fun...and…

Just finished my 90 days of the p90x3 Mass workout schedule. My goal was to build some muscle and physically get stronger. I did well on both counts including improving my numbers in The Challenge big time. I was able to handle the 70lb sandbags I use for traction in my truck that I struggled with at the beginning of…

I'm 48, and have did multlply rounds of p90x in the last few years. I found 90 minutes of Yoga to be excessive. Once I completed P90x2, I substituted its's 60 minute Yoga workout in my rounds of P90x. With this change I felt fresher, and really started to enjoy Yoga. So you might give some thought to finding a cheap, good…

Resistance bands are the answer if your looking to avoid the pull up bar. I've did several rounds with the bands before buying a pull up bar. Make sure the Resistance bands you buy come with an anchor. Then it's as simple as closing a door with the anchor on the other side !! I used my front door. If you choose to do P90x…

Checking in....Day 43 Upper Eccentric: This workout is the one that rocks my world. I still have to pause it to get all 10 pull-ups-to-negative pull ups in. I'm also really pushing weights and form on the dumbell excercises. I find myself jonesing for The Challenge to see how my my pull-up total has increased by. Soon…

Checking in Day 37 Lower Eccentric: SInce I'm doing Mass, I'm falling into a grove with this workout. The first couple time through, I really felt it in my butt and thighs....but the human body adjusts....always amazes me. So much variety in 30 minutes :). Day 38 Yoga X: This 30 minutes goes by so friggin fast. I don't…

Check in time ! Day 28 Eccentric Upper: This workout is vicious ! I have no one to blame but myself :bigsmile: . Let me explain. During P90x....I always wondered how in the heck do people actually do every rep of the Ab-ripper ? I would poop out on a given exercise doing 20 of the 25 reps...then on to the next excercise I…

I finished Day 29(mass) Upper Eccentric Upper last Monday. Then early in the AM Tuesday at work, I started a fever that would eventually lay the full smack down on me at 101.8 degrees Tuesday Night. The good news is it wasn't the Flu. The Bad news is that it did a number on me....bigtime. Instead of coming back with a…

Check iin Time ! Day 24 The Warrior: I decided NOT take a day off due to a nasty bug. As of now glad I didn't. Woozers...this is a kick**s little workout . All aboard the Burpee Train !! My HRM tells my I burnt just over 400 cals. Day 25: Pilates X: It's been a slow learning process, but I was finally able to match my…

Checking in Day 22 Isometrix : Watching a clip of or workout doesn't do it justice sometimes, and this is one of those. It looked so easy...but I was a sweaty boy when this workout ended. Day 23 Dynamix: Is it just me...or is this disc at a freakin brisk pace....and really awesome ? Acceleration while Elongating....yes. To…

Check in time !! Day 18 The Challenge: Busted out 30 push-ups and 8 pullups(wahoo). I think this is my fav workout so far. So simple, so brutal, yet so satisfying :). Day 19 Pilates X: After 2 weeks of being lost in the darkness with this one, I think I saw an inkling of light at the end of the tunnel. Started getting the…

Checking in.. Day 15: Total Synergistics: If some workout days are diamonds, I was a lump of coal. However I did get it done. Even the 3rd time through, I'm surprised at how sore I am afterward...even with a cool down. Day16: Agility X: Flip the switch, ready to sling some sweat ! Boy this workout is fun....just over 400…

I completed p90x 2 about a year and a half ago....my memory is a bit foggy. Phase 1 and 2 were much about buliding core strength with the stabilty ball and medicine balls. Phase 3 was dominated by P.A.P. Lower and upper......about increasing your athleticism. I did like P90x2. I went from modifying big time on the…

Hi ! Checking in... Day 12 Palates X: Still fighting the good fight with this workout. As much as I try...I'm just not as flexible as Tony and the Gang. At 7 minutes in, I start to sweat. It just sneaks up on me. I gotta give this workout out its due !! Day 13 The Incinerator: My decreased soreness in week 2 helped me…

TGIF ! Checking in... Day 10 Yoga X : I really enjoy the variety of moves in this workout. The Tempo is perfect for me....and I can see myself using this disc in a hybrid workout in the near future. I may have to except however, that crane pose will never be my friend !! Day 11 The Challenge: Some workout days are better…

Day 8: Total Synergistics and 9: Agility X in the bag. Enjoyed both....Synergistics because of the pure variety of moves. Agilityx is just mad fun and gets sweat flying everywhere !! I have to say my body responded much better this week than last. Shhh...don't tell anybody...but I was pretty sore after the 1st 2 days last…

Checking in ! Day 5: Pilates X. I give it my all. Probably took me 40 minutes with rewinds for form. My first pilates experience. I broke a sweat pretty early on. The Pretzel and few other towards the end....I need more work, and more flexibility. My inhaling and exhaling got really messed on the harder stuff as well. I…

Days 3 and 4 in the bag. Really Enjoyed Yoga X. Normally I use a Rodney Yee video every week for Yoga workout. I have to say I enjoyed Yoga X even more. I loved the flow and speed of it. I really dreaded The Challenge. I rolled with 25 and 6 as my numbers. I chose wisely...I got a damn fine workout !! My dread eased when I…

Hi....so funny I'm about to do The Challenge for the first time tomorrow. The best answer would be negative pull ups. Basically jump up or use a stable object to get your chin above the bar....then hold as if you are at the top of your pull up as long as you can...and sloooowly lower yourself to the ground. Google negative…

Two days in on the Mass Calander, and I really enjoyed both days. It was pretty cool to do both the pullup bar excercises in Total Synergistics. 4 months ago I couldn't do a pullup. Been working on them...nice to get off bands for good !! Agility X was an absolute blast...It was FUN !! I had to rewind a few times to try…

Hi ! Hope one more is welcome. I'm a veteran of p90x, and p90x2, and have 2 more days of Supreme 90 left. I've been previewing the discs and am soooo ready for a the new challenge of P90x3 !! I am going to start on Monday 1/13 and will do Mass me thinks. It's time to rock !! :glasses:

I've heard "you must be starving yourself" and your too skinny !! A bunch of times. I'm 5'10 180...I mean really. I think it's because overweight has become the norm in our society.

My 90 days are done ! Awesome !! I have about a month until vacation...so I'm just going to repeat P90x Phase 1 again. Then decide where to take my workouts next while lounging on the beach for a week !! Nate: Go get em !! Insanity is some serious stuff !! Rock it !!
