Dont be offended but have you double checked your portion size against what you are recording? I find it very hard to eat my calories and eat healthy, if it wasn't for protein shakes I wouldn't get close.

May had been hard work so far, been poorly with stomach flu but just about kept going with my exercise plan.

I switched for kenpo x + and much prefer it, slightly harder exercises, all the breaks are gone and its nearly 15 minutes shorter. I'm saving insanity for when I've finished p90x, otherwise what do I do then? :p

I drink power 90, 200 calories and 45 grams of protein, plus its reasonably cheap. No way I could come close to my calories without it.

I'm in the UK as well, always happy to have more friends.

I kinda agree with the diet plan, but then the diet plan was written in 2003 I think so is a little out of date now with current thinking. I have modified the diet plan a fair amount as I wasn't happy following a very low carb diet and I like to keep my protein intake high. MFP is the perfect tool for helping shape your…

I try to fit in some Jacks, skipping or some running in place if there is a large gap between that and the next exercise. You could always jump a chapter to the next exercise.

Wow, a serious amount of protein! Not sure whats up with my recommended Protein intake from MFP, it says about 78 grams, but I normally do 125 grams+. Did Kenpo X+ tonight, much better work out than the standard Kenpo as it doesn't let up with all those paused. I ended up losing a tiny bit more calories over a shorter…

if you can afford it get p90x + as the cardio workouts are only 52 minutes our less including warm up and cool down. Just as hard work as plyo but slightly shorter.

Phase 1 of P90x seemed to be eggs followed by more eggs. Phase 2 is much more varied, I've had fruit and pancakes and blueberry muffin with a Banana so far.

Have you tried switching up your exercise and food? Try different types of exercise from what you normally do, and switch when and what you eat?

I weigh myself every day, although I really shouldn't as it can often be a frustrating experience. It's a running joke in our house that lost inches matter not lbs lost as this is what I say to the wife and vice versa whenever one of us moans about not losing lbs but it doesn't stop the scale obsession. I use the tape…

Bananas, I have at least one a day and more often than not two. Protein shakes would be a close second, although I go the odd day without one.

Hows everybody doing? I'm back in 36"trousers for the first time in years and ahead of schedule! Second check in for me: 2504: 236.3 lbs 0205: 232.5 lbs lost 3.8 lbs 0905: 230.1 lbs lost 2.4 lbs Lost: 6.2 lbs total slower this week but I'd be more than happy to keep this rate up.

Currently its The Decemberists, Girl Talk and Blondie. Long term its Marillion, Metallica (pre Justice) and NIN.

Did Interval X from P90x+ tonight instead of Yoga and I really enjoyed it. I found it about the same impact and calore burn as Pylo but in a 45min package. Fun watching my heart rate drop from over 160 to under 120 during the cooldown. Looking forward to the Kenpo from P90x+ on Tuesday now! I fancy purchasing some of the…

ADAM Mens' Multi Vitamins, Xtend workout drink, Power 90 Protein Shake, and Opti Creapure. Trying to lose as little muscle as possible as I burn through my fat so concentration on that.

Had our first harvest of green leaf salad vegetables today, fresh out the garden is so much better. We'll be cycling a few big pots of them throughout the summer and have about four lots on the go at various stages of growth. I'm hoping our red currant and black berry bushes give up some fruit this year, were new in last…

Thanks everybody :) Brought myself some jeans and some new Air force 1s to celebrate.

Arswensb hit the nail on the head. Even though we are earring less our shopping bill went up dramatically soon as we started earring healthy.

I'm a big binger, always a full tub of pringles or a full box of cakes. I found it easier once I accepted I was eating total rubbish that was slowly killing me and only ate healthy food. Junk food only leads to more junk food as the body processes it's captors too quickly and often causes crashes in sugar levels, all…

One thing that has always bugged me with saying a cup of rice, is the rice meant to be cooked or uncooked when you measure it? As there is quite a large difference in size between uncooked and cooked rice. We brought smaller plates and dishes, then weighed everything for the first few weeks to get into the swing of things.

Dance Central us by far the best dance game for kinect, as long was you like the set list. I love grooving to it and it's hard work if you don't for dance to modern dance tracks on a regular basis. It's really improved my coordination.

Bah I just lost my first 30 day progress as I pressed the back button rather than the left arrow button on my keyboard by mistake. :( Ok, first 30 days up and I have to say I'm really happy I picked up P90x. If anybody looking to start it is worried about it being too hard then I'm proof even the most unfit can do it. Up…

Hi from the Midlands! I'm about 11 weeks in now on my weight loss journey, was 40kg overweight or 50% over my preferred weight of 80kg, which is at least 7kg higher than BMI thinks it should be. Making good progress so far but impatient to get down to 36" waist as I've a whole bunch of clothes I want to wear for the summer…

I don't like BMI as a measure of how overweight you are as it doesn't take account of the size of your frame or the amount of muscle you have. Most body builders would be classed as obese despite having low body fat percentages. BAI looks to be a better way to calculate it, if taken in conjunction with your body fat…

Last time I was skinny I hit the Gym five days a week, 2 hours a day all before work. I'd get up, get my tracksuit on then drive 30 minutes to the Gym, work out, get dressed and then have breakfast before heading off to work. Fit as a butchers dog but I never saw my family. Now I work out at home and it only take an hour…

I don't try to lose more than 2lb a week it just happens, some weeks I lose nothing and others I lose 4lb. Since Sunday I have lost more than 2lb already. I eat at the same time, I eat the same things on the same days, I work out at the same time with the same work outs. I just don't understand it.

First check in for me: 2504: 236.3 lbs 0205: 232.5 lbs Lost: 3.8 lbs Rather pleased to lose nearly 4 lb this week, normally I stick for a week after a big loss so I'm not expecting much for next week.

I've had the same experience of Chelios7 with the diet. What I do now is make sure my net calories after exercise for the day are at least 1200 and preferably 1300, if they aren't I increase portion size or add in healthy snacks. Protein shakes help a lot with increasing my calories from protein ratio as you'd expect,…
