The key here is to use the program properly. Your program may only say 1200 a day, but that is doing absolutely nothing in the way of exercise. You also have to enter all your activities. That means mowing the lawn, cleaning house, walking the dogs and any other form of exercise you may perform. This will add to your…

I finished Day 60 today and have some updated photos to post.

Sounds like you got a great bike. You are really riding hard too. I added P90X to my workouts a week after I started back on my bike. I love it! I am absolutely hooked. You can see my before and current photos in my blog (should be in my signature line). I will be taking my 60 day photos tomorrow. Can't wait to see if I…

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I think I am going to find one that is set up in the area this fall. There is one next month but I already have commitments at church. I am pretty sure I can do the metric century and by fall, most likely the 1/2 century. I need to get a few more long weekend rides under my belt…

I try to eat about 1600 calories a day. I couldn't eat enough to eat back all my calories without getting sick I don't think. Also, I have a lot of weight to lose so I need some sort of calorie deficit in order to lose weight. I am eating fairly clean and pretty healthy and I know if I tire out to easily, I need more…

I just finished a 15 mile ride today. I am working on riding farther and farther. This fall I would like to do either a 1/2 Century or a Metric Century. I think I could do it now out of sheer determination, but I would like to be in a little better shape first. I am thinking by Sept. I will need to find a ride and get…

When I was young, (late teens and early twenties) I used to bike all the time. Then about 10 years ago, I started to ride casually again. I bought a Specialized Hybrid and that has been a very nice bike. But I wanted more, I wanted to go back to a real road bike. Last year, (at 47) I decided it was time to start again. I…

I am in week 8 of P90X Lean and loving it and getting results. I also ride my bike 6 days a week for extra cardio which I am sure helps. You can check out my photos on my blog. I recently posted Day 1 and 1/2 way Day 45 photos. Go further down and you will see my side by side Day 1 and Day 30 photos. On the 28th of this…

SW - 209.5 lbs (FRIDAY JULY 1) Week 1 - 207 lbs (FRIDAY JULY 8) Week 2 - 206 lbs (FRIDAY JULY 15) Week 3 - xxx lbs (FRIDAY JULY 22) Week 4 - xxx lbs (FRIDAY JULY 29) Total lost - 3.5lbs (so far)

I got 7 out of 10 correct.

Type 2 here. My diabetes is from overweight and lack of exercise. When my doctor put me on Metformin she told me then, if I would lose the weight and exercise, I would most likely be able to stop taking the meds and control it with continued diet and exercise. So I have been a very good girl for some months now. I started…

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. For those of you afraid to start P90X or just getting started, do not fear it. Modify it to your ability as needed but try your best to do the moves correctly. Don't worry about how you look, you are home alone. Instead be concerned with how you will be feeling in a short time. Even…

Thank you, I will give that s try next time. It won't let me edit my posts now. But on my Day 60 when I update, I will remember that.

What did you do different to get the photos to show up? Now if you right click or control click on a Mac you can open in a new tab or window and see the whole thing too.

Yoga is actually my least favorite of all the DVD's. I still can't get through the whole thing. An hour is the longest I have made it. I am loosely following the nutrition guidelines. My schedule is so on the go that I kind of use the portion guideline but not always to a tee. I also do not eat back all my exercise…

Bound and determined to try this again I can't figure this out. I am using the codes from where the photos are in the album right now. Grr.

I can not see my own photos, can you guys see these pictures. I have changed the IMG to img. I have posted photos before so I know I am doing this correctly. But I either get these stupid blue boxes or one that says my photo was moved on photobucket. I just don't get it. If you can see them, I am glad and I hope they…

I don't know if this is right or wrong, but this is how I have decided to handle it. I am overweight. I want to lose weight and be healthy and fit. I make sure and eat enough calories to keep myself going and to feed my body for all the exercise i am doing. I have a goal of 1600 calories a day. I don't always eat that much…

I found that they were not entered in the database either. Some of this may be that results vary by individual. I enter all my P90X exercise routines under Cardio and I use my Heart Rate monitor to show me my calorie burn. Once you have them entered in your own exercises, you will be able to reuse them.

I bought the Mio Classic from Amazon.com and it was on sale. I see it is now $45 at Amazon but you can still get it for $35.99 at Walgreens.com Here is the link. http://www.walgreens.com/search/results.jsp?Ntt=mio+classic&x=0&y=0 I have only had mine a couple of days but really like it. I have checked it a few times and it…

Your Jan. photo does not show up. You can see the other two but only if you get rid of the [IMG]at the end when you use the URL. Try this. Use the IMG code that photobucket gives you. Copy the code and paste it right in your message. The only thing you have to do different is change the capital IMG to lower case img and we…

You are the incredible shrinking woman. What a great progression of pictures to keep tabs on your progress. You are doing do very well. Please share with us what programs you have been utilizing and what you have found the most helpful.

I agree, hitting your goal weight is only the beginning. A new goal has to be in place now, to maintain, get toned and live healthy. Congratulations by the way on hitting your goal weight, that is something to be proud of. Don't let it end your life, you have lots to talk about. You can share with so many others on how you…

I'll be 49 in a couple of months, so I am not all that far behind. I am now in the end of my 5th week of P90X. It hasn't been easy, and I haven't always wanted to do my workouts, but I always make myself do them, and I feel better afterwards. I also starting riding my bicycle again. I rode quite a bit in my teens and early…

I document most of my workouts in cardio for the simple fact that I like to document the calories burned during the workout. So whatever you feel comfortable doing and works best for you. It is all for your own diary anyway.

It looks like you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

Since my starting weight was so high and I am 48 years old my goal weight for right now is 150 lbs. I figure by the time I get there, I will be in pretty good shape too. I can re-evaluate my goal at this time depending on how I feel and how I look. I am 210 lbs right now and have quite a ways to go just to get to 150 lbs…
