Welcome.....this site is great! This is my first time trying the online group thing. I think if you can stick with it and find you some people to kind of be like partners that really helps. Send a request if you want to, I would be more than happy to help with the motivation!

Morning Ladies....I thought that since I was the only guy in this group It would only be fitting that I break the ice for out first weigh in. As of this morning I weighed 240. That's 3 lbs down from when we started this group and 13 lbs down from when I started the P90X program on Jan 1. I can't wait to be back down in the…

well first of all congratulations on making a decision to change your life. I think if this is something that you are wanting to do for yourself then it has the opportunity to become a permanent change. Don't be doing this because of what someone else wants you to do. I'm sorry about how people have been treating you. Your…

Well this site will definatley help you track what you are doing. If you need any help there are plenty of wonderful people with good advice. Any questions about anything related to weight loss you can post on here and you're bound to get responses! One piece of advice that someone told me was to log your food before you…

Well it definatley helps to eat something after a workout. There is a window of 30 mins- to an hour after you workout that is the best time for your muscles that you just torn down to begin their rebuilding phase. Something that is high in protein and nutrients would be ideal, some kidn of grilled chicken breast or…

I am married....we don't have any kids, my wife is pregnant but she is vevry supportive. For the most part she has always been the one that tries to eat healthier. I have just recently realized that I'm not as young as I used to be and need to start taking better care of my body! But you're right, it is easier by your self.

good luck on the yoga....That is the hardest workout there is in my opinion. Just keep the DVD in order and you'll be fine!

well the great thing about the P90X program is that it alternates, one day is a strength training and the next is cardio. The only way I can suggest is to follow the program. It was designed to work in a very specific way, I think if you start trying to switch things around it may not be as effective. However, you can…

Welcome....This is a great place to come to and really get some encouragement. The great thing is that everyone on this site has the same goals! You won't have a hard time finding friends on here. There are a couple of new groups. I just joined one the other day. We weigh in on Tuesdays. The name won't really make sense…

The very first time you use each disc it's a little awkward. All it really is though is just a learning curve. Once you get the exercises down it's not that bad. Don't take that thew wrong way, it's a killer workout.....it's just not something that you feel embarrassed about by an means. But Tony always Says " do your best…

Welcome.....Just don't get too addicted! Hey.....It's nice to see some one else from BAMA on here!

why do you ask if I'm married?

Yea the thing is I'm not trying to eat that few calories....it just happens that way. I have cut everything out that I used to eat that was bad. I used to eat about 3500-4000 calories a day. So I have changed my diet 180 degrees. For the first couple weeks I'm just erring on the side of caution so I dont fall back into my…

I do it by just being EXTREMELY aware of what I am eating. That means no junk food snacking or any kind of cakes or any fast food. and Also drinking nothing but water and a little milk here and there. For the past week or so I have been coming in right at 950-1150 calories and I can honestly say that I am not hungry. The…

Are asking about burning 1200-1300 a day or consuming 1200-1300 a day?

I was unable to finish the First Workout either. I tried really hard. So hard in fact I threw up after wards, that hasn't happen since though.

I ahve been doing them with a chair .....the problem is that the ghouse we live in now is an older hom,e so the doorways are narrower and shorter....also when I am standing flat footed my head almost hits the bar, it's just hard to get the right angle with what I have.

I could go for the Pushups.....I havent really had time to look at the sit up page yet though.

I did the smae thing....I just went back and put my starting weight in as what it was before and then went and changed it to reflect the drop....automatic ego boost!

Hey....you got your ticker up! That thing will help keep you in check!

But TO answer you question , no I do not eat the extra calories. I know I'm probaly about to get in trouble for saying this but this is what works for me. I eat through out the day and I can honestly say that I am not hungry for food. I am hungry for " junk food" though because that's what I used to eat all the time. In…

I am not familiar with the 200 sit up 100 push up club.....I'm interested though. That sounds like a good challenge!

Welcome.....We'll be here for you! Good Luck!

I am thingking to switching to the band and wrapping around the pull up bars I have and doing it that way....thats one of the variations they people on the workout do..... My realistic goal is that by the time I start my second 90 days I can do the pull ups!

My cousin and his wife just had a baby, His wife is always so sweet. He told me she was pretty rough in the delivery room though! My wife on the other hand can get pretty worked up over nothin, so I'm a little scared! :bigsmile:

Thats good you have been able to lose weight like that just changing your eating habits I assume. You should really take off once you get into a workout program!! Keep up the good work!

the P90X Program is by far the best workout routine I have ever done. Not just the best at home program, but the best PERIOD! It is very tough though and requires a lot of dedication. If you follow the program it's 6 days a week for an hour a day. At first I was kind of worried , but after my first workout I was hooked!!…

It sounds like you and I have the same goals and reasons for doing this! Good luck!! What kind of excerises are you doing to help to lose your weight?

Yea....any good ideas you gals have would be appreciated. That way I look like the best husband in the world....but we'll all know who's really behind it......it will just be our secret!

I do the P90X program and there is a day where you have Kenpo karate, I couldn't find those set of particualr excerises in the list, but I did find regular karate. And for an hour it was something like 1100 calories.....If you have ever done the Kenpo workout that is very believable!
