  • For me, it was mostly a time thing. I got through about 7 weeks and definitely saw a difference in my body, although I didn't follow a diet plan closely enough so didn't get as much actual weight loss as I would have liked. Ultimately, it was too much time to commit. I am now on Chalean Extreme and loving it. You should…

  • Plyo again today. Whew! Second go-round. My lower back/buns seem particularly sore today. Still having trouble getting up on time to do p90x as consistently as I would like, but on days that I don't have enough time, I usually will either do a shortened version or something else...so at least it's something. I agree with…

  • It took me awhile to get the punches. In the beginning, I separated out some of the combos, keeping the moves separate to just keep moving and was gradually able to build in the combo moves. Hang in there. There's still a couple that I have trouble with, like the Knuckles one and I usually end up substituting something…

  • Did Shoulders & Arms today. Taking a break to do some work from home. Hoping to do Ab ripper + run on treadmill to make up for yesterday's lack of workout. Core Synergistics is an excellent workout -- I remember it from when I did the lean version. Definitely wakes up the core.

  • So woke up late today, and there goes my first workout and didn't track...ugh.How come I can't stay on track. But tomorrow's another day, even though it will be a snow day - predicting Snowmaggeden here in the midwest, but still planning on getting up tomorrow at 5 am -- that seems to be the only time for my to workout -…

  • Just did Plyo for the first time -- LOVED IT. And could keep up reasonably well, so I'm stoked, much better than the Chest and Back - so we all know where my "weak" area is. Also got my HR monitor work which was cool to monitor the HR and see the calories burning up!

  • Finally started px90 again, but classic instead of lean version based on suggestions here. So Chest and Back yesterday -- wow, it will take me awhile to do all of those push ups and do them well. Doing almost all on my knees so I could have better form and even went to the wall for the second set of diamond push-ups. Seems…

  • I'm starting p90x again as well on Friday. This week and part of last, I'm getting back into my general exercise with some Cardio Max, treadmill, and other bootcamp like DVDs that are about 20-30 min + walking/running so I'll be in a better position to get through the DVDs. I did great starting out last October but by…

  • Thanks for all the helpful tips. I will re-look at the classic. My biggest challenge is time as I work full-time and am mother to 3 boys 7 and under (yes they can give me a workout too that makes me feel insane at times). I am trying to get up at 5 am so I have time to wake up and enjoy a few moments of quiet, get the…

  • SW: 165 CW: 160 GW: 150 Hooray! Staying committed and working hard might be paying off. I doubt I actually lost 5 pounds - it's likely an artifact of my analog scale and water weight? Next week will be the true weigh in to see if there is consistency. I've hovered between 160 and 165 for last 4 weeks while doing p90X, so…

  • That's impressive!!! I am currently in Phase 2 of the Lean Program. I have been working out consistently, but not following a meal plan, which is why I just joined MFP b/c I wasn't seeing the results in terms of weight but definitely feel a difference in my body. In addition, I am substituting Biggest Loser Cardio for the…
    in My P90X Before and After Pics Comment by cd_kc September 2010
  • OK, I'm in then, if OK with everyone else. I'm 5'4" and currently weigh 165ish. It seems to vary a little b/c it's not a digital scale and hard to read, but that's what I'm going to go with. My goal is 143 pounds and if I can do that by Nov 24th (my 40th birthday), that would be fantastic, but I'll be realistic and settle…

  • I'm a little late on getting started, but wondering if I might be able to join. I turn 40 on Nov 24th. SO that's a big goal date for me. I actually started working towards my goal about a month ago, mostly with exercising, but not consistent with eating and guess what? No consistent weight loss. So I'd love some…
