Please take a word of advice do yourself atleast 2 other favors which you will appreciate later.... 1. take you before pics now 2. take your pre p90x measurements I can't tell you how important this is for later down the road. At day 30 when you put the pics side by side, you can not imagine how good it feels to SEE the…

Bull congrats on the tremendous weight loss! I can't imagine the journey that you have already traveled. I'm on day 44/45 in the program and I absolutely love it. You've obviously already seen many of the success stories since you've bought the program, it's not exactly something you buy on impulse without some research…

Yoga is the only one that I had any problems with trying to follow occasionally, especially when I first started. It really isn't an issue now, and the strength training videos never presented this problem. Just my two cents, it is the absolute best workout program I've ever done. While you do work at with the video, it's…

Thanks Jess, that's what I'm hoping for a couple of reasons. Of course the main reason is her health. But I'd love for us to both go to the pool this summer and all of our old friends see the change in us both. What better sells pitch than a family of walking billboards!

Congratulations! You both are on your way to a healthier lifestyle. Be sure to go to the message boards and get to know some of the people there. You've got a wonderful opportunity doing this with a spouse, mine absolutely refuses, but the boards are more like entire families doing it together.

Hey guys, wow what alot of interest! Like Jess said, it is WELL WORTH the money. It is alot of money up front, but if you consider the number of dvd's, all different workouts, it really not as much as it seems. It is by far the single best purchase I have made, and the only one that actually gave me the results I was…

Congrats MissResa, I haven't tried that model but I've had a hr monitor for over a year now. I used it to judge my runs before p90x. I can promise that once you calibrate it to your specs and you see just how many calories you burn with the program, you will have a new respect for the workouts. Since I'm a runner and…

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a while, but I've been very loyal to the program, diet not so much. Lots of chicken, fish, veggies, but not by the book..... I'm on day 37 of the classic, and down 8 lbs., 3 inches in the waist and nearly 5% BODYFAT!!!! I love the program sooo much, guess who's the newest coach! Best of luck…

Thanks for the reply. I've tried to compare their recovery drink with many of the others commercially on the market that I can get locally. I still us cellmass from the lifting days but it's not really like the carb/protein drink beachbody pushes. I can't blame them, read the threads and they push theirs enough it seems at…

Good job getting back on track joker. I don't eat before I go to bed but just my opinion, I think you'd be fine taking in the calories as long as you've worked out. I'm typically a runner before p90x and I exercise late at night a lot. I think you've already burned so many calories, and it doesn't stop when you stop…

Christina know the feeling. They just had a good discussion on beachbody (I'm in the East Coast thread) about adding and loosing weight intermittently without any obvious reason. So many variables affect what we see on the scales. I actually weighed yesterday and while I've lost about 5 lbs the last 2 weeks, I'm not seeing…

Hey Joker, glad you had a good trip. It's tough when you get away from home and everyone else around you is doing one thing, and you know you shouldn't. Just strike it up to lesson learned and jump back on the wagon with both feet. I went to a baby shower yesterday and had a couple of meatballs myself, had forgotten how…

Shoulders & Arms is one of my favorites... the glamour muscles!! Love the static arm curls, crouching cohen, alternating shoulder presses, etc. Great workout! You can do it, at least make it through the first 50 min of Yoga (vinyasas). [/quote] No way would I go 50 minutes and not finish the last 40! The first 50 minutes…

Go to www.beachbody.com and you'll find the best workout you've ever experienced. It's kinda expensive, but it's a set of 12 dvd workouts plus an introductory dvd with 2 bonus workouts. It's basically 6 days a week for 90 days, look at the transformations and you'll see just how good it is. I'm only in day 4 but started…

Great job, shoulders and arms is a great workout and a lot closer to the types of exercises I'm used to, although there are some pretty original moves in there! I'm doing yoga tomorrow, and flexibility is one of my weaknesses, definitely intimidated by the thought of 1.5 hrs! Have a good trip and keep up the good work.…

Shoulders and Arms today along with Abd x. Trying to stay within my limits this week to prevent injury they give good workout, I'm still sore, but they don't hurt as much as I thought. Well all except the abdominal work! Plyometrics was a blast, although I still felt like I should run afterward. Had an apartment fire 20…

I always wear a heart rate monitor and then subtract my baseline calorie average to get the actual calories burned. Even though many of the activities are listed, everyone is going to burn calories differently. My monitor is consistent but probably shows more calories burned that actually are because my heartrate is always…

Jeff, the only problem I had with the pull up bar is my door frames were too wide. It doesn't permanently mount and only catches on the trim on the opposite side and then gravity does the rest. Others probably don't have this problem since my house was built in 1948. The bar is very high quality and I would buy it again.

Good luck to you both. Just started p90x today and what a great workout. Still managed a short 3.5 mile run tonight but I suspect I'll regret that tomorrow during plyo! Can't wait to improve so that I don't have to make so many modifications during the workout. I tried to go to failure my first round and don't think I ever…

Take goodness it finally arrived! I met the UPS man at the road. Brought it in, put my pull up bar together, and put the disc in (I've read the materials and watched the intro disc before) Went straight to work. Being the eager beaver I am, jumped right to work. My Lord, my arms turned to jelly. I've been doing push ups…

Mine's finally out for delivery! It's been two long weeks and still nothing but promises. I hope the program is better than their service up to this point. I don't think I've ever looked forward to a package more, fills like Christmas did 30 years ago! Will post after the first workout today and report how it went.

Hey Joker, good to see you're keeping at it. One of the guys at work had the plyo dvd at work Saturday so we were going to do it as a group (at least 6 of us anyway). Wouldn't you know I had to cover another station during the day, and that night they kept telling me "wait for us, we'll do it between ball games." 2100 at…

Keep pushing Play Joker, great job. Still sitting and weighting for mine to arrive, it finally arrived in NC yesterday and I should get it Monday. Weighed in this morning and lost 3 lbs this week with clean eating (except for one slice of pizza yesterday....) over the past week and running, push ups, dumbell work trying to…

Way to go jokerrn, keep at it. Worked with one of my Lt.'s yesterday and he's got the program too. Lasted all of 2 weeks before he dropped it. I'm STILL waiting on mine, seems UPS got the shipping info Monday and it's still sitting in California, getting very frustrated. We're working out together on duty Saturday using…

Joker are you an RN, my brothers a cardiac nurse. Just woke him up and didn't realize he worked last night and tonight:noway: . Should have turned the phone off! Best of luck with the program, I'll be there with you along the way and hopefully we can encourage each other.

Thanks Tracy, I used to use Muscle Milk due to it's high protein content and higher calories. I may pull the nutritional analysis and see how it looks. I've always been a big meat eater so I'm usually close on the protein portion. I've just never looked this closely at diet and it's just kinda blown me away. I have also…

I finally got an email stating my order shipped today! Hopefully I'll be on the program by the end of the week. Started back with the 4-5 mile runs and just got back from the gym trying to wake some sleepy muscles and may be not be so sore when I start. Trying to do alot of pushup, pullup, and abdominal type exercises…

Besides the initial order confirmation email, have you received anything else from them?

I ordered p90x over the holidays and am still waiting for it to arrive. I've started back running and throwing in some pushups, situps, and pullups trying to ease the transition. They said I'd receive a tracking number when it was shipped but still nothing. Don't know if they shut down over the holidays or what but I'm…
