  • hawkeye guy hit it on the head!....seems like everyone is sooooo focused on weight....when what they should be focusing on is bodyfat percentage....or loss....great post!
  • the completed diary thing is bs....ignore that and continue your course.....don't focus on weight as much as how much bodyfat you are losing....because what is important really?...losing that excess bodyfat!....p90x is an excellent way to truly trim fat off of your body...sounds like you are doing great!....as far as…
  • Like noAdditives mentioned.....HIIT....or interval training does help increase EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption)....many studies have been done on this....try to incorporate this into your workout...as well as training with weights....

  • Like Kbarker69 said...for healthy weightloss about 500 less than what your everyday burn is....so...let's say to "just exist" your caloric requirement is 2200....than eat approx 1700...also..if you exercise you want to include those cals in the everyday total. So....if you req 2200...and burn about 250 a day exercising…
  • x....don't let those pics get you down!...let them do the total opposite...motivate you!...just understand...losing weight and getting the "you" that you want will take some time...but that is part of the process!

  • simple....calories in....vs calories burned.....sounds like they are just misinformed...or haven't done their research! of course the macros (protein, fat, carbs) matter ...but if you are looking at simply losing weight....calories..

  • what about the pre-cursor p90??.....I have done both...p90 isn't as intense as p90x...but still a good workout!
  • I have a suunto ...and have had a polar in the past...actually several......both worked exactly as they should and I never had a problem with either...each time I purchased one with more options than I needed (go figure). I wouldn't have a problem with buying any of the new hr monitors...even timex....good luck!
  • Hi LindaSue.....there are soooo many multiple ways to break up your training. Look into researching HIIT vs LISS. It sounds like what you are doing is LISS (low intensity steady state)....which does work.....but can be boring and tedious.....but if you combine your workout with some HIIT (high intensity interval training)…
  • I agree with oldbushie....everyone is always searching for that easy way out...magic bullet....went to the website....and the first thing that put me off was the "as seen on tv" marketing ploy....and as he said...no respectable bodies have confirmed or backed this product...big red flag....well there are several...

  • hi!...exactly what naomi said....eat your fruit....but try not to eat too much with added sugar....but....a little sugar isn't going to kill ya!...and sugar alcohols are counted as carbs..they aren't really a sugar or alcohol....another "great" invention by our food engineers!...not!..
