Doing P90X from tomorrow.

I am starting P90X from tomorrow. Bring it on! ;)

Of course. one baby-step at a time. Nice pointers BTW.

water retention - may be. I am not sure. I have to check that again next week and validate that theory. :)

@ Kendra - yeah. I don't want to take it blindly. Just wanted to see where all I possibly missed. I got a few good ideas. Will have to try one by one. @Mike - Yeah, I get it. Let me rework on this.

Yes, Chet. May be I am having more carbs that what I need. I havent checked that part yet. Also, I havent set macronutriet ratio either. I may have to recalculate. I discussed this with other MFP pals. From that I understood that my deficit was more than 500 per day. (So, my body may think that its in starvation mode.)…

@sexymuffintop - Hmm.. yeah, will increase my cal intake and see if it helps me break my plateau. @Kendra - True. Indian foods are quite confusing. Guestimating is my best way out. @mockchoc - thanks! will take a look at it.

Ht - 1.73M Wt - 81.3 KG (~179 lb)

Though I workout 3 times a week, I calculated for 'sedentary lifestyle'. Calculations show 1500. Hence I stick to that figure. I hover around that figure on any given day.

@MissMormie - Its hard to admit that it might be water retention. Well, let's give it another 3 weeks or so and see. @ssl444 - 1500 is what MFP set for me and I left MFP to do all the calculations. Let me try P90X and see how I fair after 4 weeks. That should tell me something. Thank you folks for sharing your ideas. I…

I don't eat back my exercise calories. Even otherwise, I consume approx. 1500 cal/day. Still my body goes in starvation mode? Is that possible? I am thinking of starting P90X from tomorrow and see if I can 'confuse my muscles'. That's an option I haven't tried yet.

@pink - Haha. no, I am a male. @ssl - No, I am from India. But I can try that. Will see. @yks - No, this is the first time. No, my pattern is very much predictable. I don't change my eating/workout habits btn weekdays and weekends. @Mike - yeah, may be. That's a good idea. Thanks, mate.

Yup. My wife is a dietician. So we are quite conscious of what we eat/how much we eat/when we eat etc. I took a stock of it all and everything seems fine. I managed to eat a little less than the set calorie limit - on all days. There are not cheat meals and I refrain from eating sugar/sugary items. Still clueless!! phew !!

Nope. I've been doing this for over 3 months now. Shed ~6 pounds in the last 2 months. Hit a plateau but took me almost 5 weeks to break it. After that, I lost one more pound. Now, the scale shows a 2 pound increase. I am still clueless!! :(

Congrats everybody! You are losing wt. Well, Houston.... I've a problem!! ;) My scale says that I've gained 1 KG since last week!! From 80.4 it now stands at 81.3 KG. I do 3X HIIT per week (approx 40 mins each), log what I eat, maintain a healthy diet. I drink approx 4L of water per day. Possible Explanations: Water…

Ditto! I have gained a pound in the last 1 week. I am not sure where I am going wrong. I eat clean, workout 3 times a week (cardio & wts). My theory - may be muscles are building and they are holding water. (I am not sure if I am fooling myself!) Will give it another 1-2 weeks and try again.

2.36 PM. India.

yaay!!! that's great! good job!

Congrats! That's nice, Arvi :)

Hello All.. I have just started my C25K program. How do you guys do strength training? Suppose you run on MWF, do you lift weights/cross train on Tuesdays and Thursdays? Pls share your ideas. Thanks in advance!

Gareeshma - That's nice. Follow your plan. Good luck. Chet - that's very silly of me! I don't have the gadget to measure them all! I realized after I logged in there. Never mind. I will try old-school formula. Cheers AI

Awesome !! that's very inspiring!!! Thanks for sharing, bro!

That's a good idea, Chet. I should try it too. I checked my weight yesterday and it should that I've gained 100 g since last week. I came back home and took a stock of my eating habits and exercise pattern. Everything seemed fine. My only guess is that I am building some muscles. (I am not sure if I am fooling myself!) I…

Hey, I am a diabetic too. But I've been working out and eating clean. My GI score is come back to 'prediabetic' range. Its not much.. but small changes lead to great result. Diet, drill and drugs. That's the key. Don't expect miracles to happen overnight. It will take time but the result would definitely be long lasting.

Nice. But dont kill urself in the process. Enjoy it rather. AI

Yup... hope to join that 'league' soon! ;) -AI

Thanks Jude! I am a diabetic and am currently using Glycomet. My GI shot up to 300. With increased GI and BP, it was just a matter of time before my health took an ugly turn. That was my wake up call. I dint want that to happen. I too charge and started working out. I took care of my diet too. Today, after 4-5 months of…

well.. we (in general desis) have a wrong attitude and mindset that being skinny is bad..........and its not a 'state of healthiness'! I dont get that logic. :P Anyway.... you stay focused. That's all it takes. You have MFP to find like-minded folks to share your ideas. Do rant and chant.. but dont jump off the wagon.…

wow! Congratulations !! :)
