Ok so after trying this for 3 days here are the results....... Day 1: 206 Final weight....204 Yep 2lbs. Not worth the effort at all. I followed this ridiculous "diet" to the letter with nothing to show for it but a 2lb loss. Hell, you can lose 2lbs after a good visit to the bathroom. The only thing this "diet" really did…

I'm on day 3 of this 3 day "diet". I'm not dead yet but I'm not sure how much weight I've lost, if any. I'll weigh in tomorrow then post results here. I've seen a lot of people make comments about this being called the "military diet". They say "I was/am in the military and we didn't/don't eat like this." I'm pretty sure…

Thanks! I was doing P90X and following MFP log religiously....until I went on vacation for a month and it broke my routine. Now I just can't seem to get my rhythm back . Since March of last year I went from 220 and a 42in waist to where I am now 198 and a 38/39 in waist. Needless to say I was thrilled when I cracked…

Hey CiCi....I have been messing around with MFP and P90X since March. I was doing really well from March-May, went on vacation, and I've been struggling to get back into my routine ever since. But during the time I was really working at all this I was seeing results. With that said here is what I found...... Everyone is…

As Robin said try to get that good protein early on. When I was trying to figure out how to balance my food intake so I could reach my goals a very wise MFPer told me "Eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch, and a pauper at dinner." Of course you'll have your snacks throughout the day to help keep your metabolism…

Because I'm an overweight non-expert I try to do as much research as I can. I've never heard of eating back exercise calories until I started looking into fitness plans. From what I have read it seems to come down to two factors 1) The facts. A higher metabolic rate promotes fat burning. That seems to be universal.…

I got P90X over 4 years ago. It sat in my closet collecting dust until Match of this year. Every week I said "I'll start it on Monday" or "I'll start it when I get weights" or some other lame excuse. I finally said enough is enough and I wanted to take charge of my body. For 3 weeks (classic) I stuck with it religiously. 7…

I do my best to eat them all back but some days after P90X and my day job there is no way I'm eating all those calories back. What I focus on is getting back AT LEAST half and making sure I'm getting my protein. Usually if I get my target protein for the day (which is always very hard for me to do even though I am very…

Thank you everyone for the kind words of support. You all kick *kitten*!!! And I'm glad to know that my geekery was able to make you guys smile. I guess it's not just the little kids who get a kick out of this....looks like we've got some big kids out there too ;-) As for doing mind tricks on the scale...well....for a…

Thanks :-) lol yeah I was thinking about that. But the Empire has the coolest looking stuff and unforgiving armor will make sure I stay motivated to keep the weight off! :-)

?

Agree with Buck and Emma. I am still not able to do some of the moves but it is one helluva a nice break. Especially after ARX and Plyo. After several days of being in an abusive relationship with Tony the yoga is a welcome change of pace. :-)

I've had to learn the hard way that it takes time and PATIENCE. Not to mention all of the conflicting info out there; eat your exercise calories/don't eat them, starvation mode is a myth/fact, don't eat before bed time/carb up before bed time for a big work out in the morning. It makes your head hurt. No matter what I have…

jerzite, personally I think you're trying too hard. You're not seeing the results you want and it's driving you nuts. Believe me....I feel your pain. I am all sorts of impatient and I am a "make it happen" kind of person and not at all a "wait for it" kind of guy. However, if there is one thing I have learned so far is…

I'm measuring myself at the widest point on my gut. Bellybutton level. This is what is keeping me from reaching my goal.

You know...most crackheads are pretty slim. I wonder if there's a crack supplement we could take ;-)

I expect weight gain. Personally I don't even care about my weight. It's the inches around my gut that are effing me up at the moment. I expected a slow loss of inches but I didn't expect a gain. Inches gained to my arms and chest yes...but not to my gut. That's the heartbreaker.

Thanks everyone. I'm not going to give up. No matter what. I will not quit, it's not in my nature. But damn am I frustrated! My #1 goals was to go from a 42in waist to a 37in waist or better by April 30th. After 3 weeks I'm rocking a 41in waist and short of doing something drastic/unhealthy there is no way I'll be at 37in…

Any help? No P90Xers out there huh?

Extra Creamy Redi Whip for the win! That is my cheat food. It's not healthy but it's not going to kill your daily goals either. There is virtually nothing bad in it when you consider how much of it you can eat and how good it tastes. That stuff must be made from baby unicorn tears or something. It is a miracle food...well…

Started week 3 today. I've decided to just keep going. I might miss a few days here and there but I figure it's better to just stick with it then to miss more days trying to get everything synced up. If I can do doubles I'll try. I'm still struggling with nutrition. I've been doing the MFP thing for 25 days and My weight…

Yes please tell us! Story time!!!

That looks goooooood

Good idea. I was going to do a second round of P90X, probably Lean. Maybe I should add something to it so I don't get sick of hearing Tony and his crazy chit-chat

Thanks! So far I have a love/hate relationship with P90X. And good luck to you when you fire it back up!!

Thanks Jilly. I'm 5'11. And I am eating my exercise calories.

Made a few more tweeks.

I've been doing subway alot for lunch on the weekends. this link is a life saver! thanks!

That is awesome! What are you doing to get those kinds of results?! I'm shooting for a 3-5 in loss on my waist and I'd love to be able to pull it off by May. Very impressive!

Getting there. Definitely seeing it in your face and the old love handles. You're built about the same as I am. Our fat seems to want to collect around the mid section and form the "spare tire". I'm thinking it might take 2 rounds for guys like us to get rid of the whole spare tire and get that 8 pack. Are you doing…
