Hey there, One of your p90x peeps here. I think you're definitely trying to take on too much. You are likely to injure yourself with that amount of work. If you're doing the p90x workouts with intensity, it should take care of most of your exercise needs if not all. I trained for and completed a marathon in 2004. It was…

Ok I'm an ex 300 pound plus member. I know how crumby it can feel to feel bad about yourself. Actually I was 314 four months ago! I know what is like to have bad knees too. The metabolism number, well that an change if we start feeding our body the correct food. If you want to make a change and commit to something, then…

Hi there, I'm currently on my second round of P90X. I've learned a ton along the way. What version you choose all depends on your long term goals and fitness level. You have to be in fantastic shape to tackle doubles. I wouldn't recommend it for your first attempt. Either start with Lean or Classic. Lean is a little less…

Hi Sam, Please feel free to add me. I'm currently on my second round of p90X. Accountability is the key reason for my success so far (38 pounds). I check in with my friends (who reciprocate)on a daily basis. If you want to make a change I'm here for you. Lets get busy

Such hostility isn't necessary. I think people formulating their own workout programs is awesome. I also believe losing a bunch of weight while doing both cardio and strength training is also beneficial. I'm digging P90X a lot. It has been a huge motivating influence in my life recently. Yes I'm a beachbody coach now, and…

Hi Jim, Please feel to add me if you like. I started at 314 four months ago. I know how hard it can be. I'm working it everyday. I've managed to overhaul my eating and exercise habits. I need the support of others too. I'm following a fat shredder diet composed of 50 percent protein, 30 percent carbs and 20 percent fat.…

Hi there, I'm also probably not as disciplined as you, but I'm getting there. I've made some massive changes in my life the past 4 months. You sound like a pretty motivated person too. Feel free to add me if you like. I'm currently on my 2nd round of p90x and loving it. Thanks Simon

Here's a before and after

Hi poesch77, I'm currently on my second round of p90x. To date I've lost 38 pounds in the past 100 days. Start weight 311 current 272 The program has been a truly amazing learning experience for me. You truly get out what you put into the program. I've become very consistent in my workout habits through the help of others…

Thank you. That's very kind of you

P90X grad. Still pushing play every day . I took four days off between rounds. Absolute game changer for me. To a happy healthy well being.

Hi Shella Bella, The first few days are really hard. You shouldn't feel hungry. If you are listen to your body and eat a little more. If you need to add more spinach or green leafy vegetables to your serving of protein (chicken, fish etc) go for it. Adding complex carbohydrates like brown rice can help as well. Shawn gave…

It has a been a pleasure watching your journey. Absolutely amazing effort from you and Jeff! I've been inspired from day 1 by the both of you. Your boys must be so proud of their parents! What fantastic role models you both are. B B here you come!!! Me and Lamar will be following your lead :)

It helps to eat more of the right things. Increasing your consumption of green leafy vegetables and protein rich foods will absolutely Make you more healthy. That's the theory I'm working on at the moment. If you eat more salty and/or sweet foods weight loss will not occur from eating more. I'm no expert and I've had my…

I'm on my second round of P90x. I'm hooked. Feel free to add me. That goes for anyone else doing p90x or other beachbody programs. Strength in numbers.

I use a Polar ft 60. It gives me excellent data. Calories range depending on now how hard you bring it. I find the p90x web site over estimates a little. It's still really handy though. Any one doing p90X is welcome to join an excellent group I belong to called P90X/Insanity The Game Changers Click Community Click Groups…

HRM is crucial to accurate logging. We have a great P90X support group on MFP if you'd like to join. Click Community Click Groups and click “P90X/Insanity the Game Changers” Really supportive group. I've learned so much from my fellow P90xers in the group. Good luck

No jocks, just hard working…

Feel free to add me if you like. I'm currently on round 2 of p90x.

Feel free to add me. I'm doing my second round of p90x. My weight and more importantly my attitude and confidence are moving along quite nicely.

I am for 50% protein to maximize my fat loss. Why does this work? Protein is not easily converted into fat unlike carbs. Your body actually burns additional calories trying to store protein. It is also excellent for keeping you satisfied and critical for maintaining or gaining lean muscle mass. Good luck
