I meant 600 as an estimate of how much you burn during the p90x session. According to the p90x manual I should be consuming 1800 a day Does this mean on an off day (the x stretch or rest day) I should be eating 1200 calories since I am not working out, or should I still consume the 1800?

quick question as i want to start this tomorrow What size weights did you use. the max size I have at home is 4.3kgs should i get some heavier ones?

can i ask why it was so unpleasant? Ive just started aiming for this myself with a calorie consumption goal of 1500 (doing Ripped in 30, not P90x)

i get my Optimum Nutrition shakes from Amazon...their cookies and cream flavoured one is godly

You are right, i tend to do better on a high protein diet but at the same time feel i need to have some carbs in my diet for my endurance activities such as running...I also crave carbs more so if i am to cut it will be a slow but steady weaning I did last the morning without waving a snack whooo although I just ate lunch…

Im terrible as i bring my snacks and then go to the work canteen if i still feel peckish lol I have my snacks with me now and will sit on my hands and get nothing else *tries to channel will power*

Some great tips, thank you! The morning snacks for me definitely has to go as I dont need it and I have this and then find myself eating lunch at 11am as well. The afternoon snack has to stay as otherwise my blood sugar drops during my workout after work

Greek yogurt has been amazing for me! Where i am now is definitely a lot better than where I started but I still have a bit of a way to go to kick the habit

Well done you, Im winning so far but its only 10am here lol I have a cereal bar and some cottage cheese as a snack which I am trying to save until the afternoon. I am also going to try and not have my lunch at 11 like I always do

Ive been lucky in that sense as due to my wheat allergy I have had to snack on fruits, nuts etc anyway. My only downfall is flapjacks lol Its become a running joke in my office that I am always eating, but I am also one of the slimmest so I cant be doing too much wrong

Ive found I have been a lot better since I change my breakfast from Porrige to Oat-a-bix, greek yogurt and fruit...I get a lot more for my calories and it fills me up....i still end up snacking a few hours later though but i think its more habit now than hunger

I drink a lot of water and i still find I want to snack but its not hunger I know that much. I find that snacking on fruit doesnt work for me as I tend to be hungry about 2 seconds later so my snacks have to be more carb and protein based. I am just trying to limit myself to 200cals worth of snacks a day as i was probably…

I assist at my friends Zumba class and i always say to those who are worried about getting all the moves right: You could spend the entire session standing in the room just waving your arms you will be a) burning more calories than you would just sitting on the sofa and b) you are enjoying yourself doing so Im sure you are…

My mum used to be the same when i was a kid and then in the next breath she would mock my weight and ask if i was having a competition to see if i could get as fat as my friends With my mum it was a mix between trying to please us through food and also her own insecurities about her own weight. Now that i live on my own…

I would like to know this as well, i presume its one of her metabolism books i suppose Day 16 of 30 day shred done still having to do the modified pushups during the second round of the travelling ones but hoping my strength will improve here my thighs hate me so much!!!

Just thought I would share this as I am might impressed with myself and it may give some of you some encouragement Starting Weight: 126.2lbs Underbust: 29.5inches Overbust: 33inches (i did this with a bra on so cocked up a bit here) Waist: 26.5 Stomach at belly button: 29.5 Hips: 37.5 Upper arm left: 10 Upper arm right:…

keeping up the zane theme you remind me a bit of Zane Lowe

Just finished Day 13 (realised i seem to be a day further than i thought i was). The workout is still tough but i am doing better on the workouts each day so its good to see i am improving

I agree I've been having one as a post workout drink for the past couple of weeks and has really changed my shape. I am planning to add a breakfast shake as well to this so I get extra protein

I took the target percentages from the P90x manual. Would the bacon not be fatty? I found oatabix and greek yogurt worked well as a filling breakfast (I have problems with snacking far too much) but you are right about low fat yogurt and funny enough I got a low fat version this morning to use. I also had an additional…

Thanks for the tip. I'm struggling to eat more as it is so not sure I could get 200+ so I think it will be a gradual uptake in calories. Any tips from anyone on how try hit their protein intake targets would be great as I either take too much carbs or fat as a result

I have Withings scales so weight myself everyday to see changes in body fat percentage etc. Getting a bit disheartend at not seeing anything budge on the scales I decided to retake my measurements after day 7 and have lost 3 inches all over. Will measure again to see if anything else has come off this sunday Hubby…

Day 11 of 3DS and Day 1 of level 3 completed yesterday. Was finding that i knew the dialogue of Level 2 too well and it was putting me off the workout so moved on to Level 3 May give to Day 20 on this and then perhaps do Level 3 of Ripped in 30 to stop me getting bored. Anyway so far it was exhausting I cannot complete all…

Day 6 completed yesterday, still finding the high knee cardio circuit a killer. Managed to upgrade all my weight sections (apart from seated squat and v raise) from 1.1kgs to 2.3kg yay! Because I started level 2 after a day I think they key for me will be to go up to day 15 with level 2 and jut keep upping the weights…

Day 5 done, am i the only one who feels they are getting weaker with each day. My legs never feels they quite recover from the last workout to do the next one I dont know how you guys can back to back. 3DS and marathon training is my lot haha

Calories are calories no matter what you are eating. Im sure your diet is healthy enough to worry about the numbers as much

Day 3 of 3DS Legs being rather weak from yesterdays punishment meant that I wasn't as strong today. Still battled through it though Thank God for my protein shake or I would be in a worse position I think

Yes but bear in mind I was doing Jillian Michaels Shape up and Maximize DVDs 4 times a week for 2 weeks prior to starting this so I think that was my Level 1 lol

Its definitely up to the individual. I moved up to level 2 after 1 day of level one as even though i found it was not easy. My heart rate was averaging 110 which I dont think is very high at all. so thought i would get a more effective workout moving to level 2

Day 1 of Level 2 (day 2 of 3DS) that was definitely TOUGH!! Completed all the moves without collapsing so Im pleased with myself Stupidly watching level 3 and that looks like a killer lol
