I just read an article about using a montra when you walk. I think the right one could be a good motivating tool too. Maybe make small signs to place around for encouraging reminders. Or just find the perfect one for you and say all the time. Keep Moving Forward I can & I Will I’m doing this for me Drink More Water Google…

I was diagnosed 22 years ago. It means being weight loss resistant. Which to me means working harder to lose weight and stay in shape. My doctor put me on synthroid and I now take it at night. It means not eating for a couple hours before bedtime. But that helps prevent acid reflux😊 and I get to eat as soon as I wake up.…

I started my first round of P90X on March 22 of this year. I am now on round 2. That's almost 6 months at a cost of about $135.00. Previously I have spent $250 for 6 months membership at the gym/health park. My results at the gym were minimal and after awhile it was very hard to make myself go there to work out. With P90X…

I tried Insanity and did it for 2 week, then I decided that I needed to do another round of P90X to build my muscle strenght to try and protect my knees and lower back. It really was hard on my knees. I hope that, after building a little more muscle in my core and legs with P90X, I will be able to do 60 days of Insanity.…

When I started P90X I was trying to keep my calories under 1500 a day. I didn't lose a pound the first 3 weeks and I was wiped out after each of my workouts. I finally started eating 1800 calories a day and I started losing weight and had a lot more energy. I also started drinking a whey protein shake after every workout.…

I finished P90X and trying the Insanity videos for one week. If I can handle it, I will do Insanity for 60 days then do round 2 of P90X. Today was day 2 of Insanity, Plyometric Cardio Circuit. Wow, it really is insane. Four more days this week and then I'll decide if I want to try to make it 60 days. I may be starting P90X…

It sounds like you are doing great. I have decided that I am going to have to keep P90X in my calendar for as long as I am physically able to bring it. I took P90X with me on vacation last week. My sister did a few of the workouts with me and now she has ordered P90X to do at home. I am trying to get some others to join me…

Bryan, you've done a great job. I am still pushing play and will be using myfitnesspal for a long time as well. I am on day 2 of week 9. The plyometrics was great today. I am so much stronger than I was week one it amazes me. I haven't decided if I am going to do round 2 of P90X after week 13 or if I am going to try my…

core synergistics was really hard today. The first half was killing me. I had oatmeal for breakfast and it always gives me indigestion and I think that was a big part of my problem. I pushed through and after the bow to boats everything seemed to start flowing. Maybe my endorphines kicked in. My favorite move is the…

My allergies have got me feeling a little droopy today. I'm not going to do doubles today. Just Back & Biceps w/AbripperX. I can't believe a I do all the abripper moves now. My form may not be as good as theirs and i do have to push pause a few times to take an extra stretch, but I'm doing all the moves and very proud of…

Thanks for answering. I plan on doing another round of P90X and I will keep doing the Yoga. Maybe I will eventually start to enjoy it or at least not hate it. Also, I worked out for a month getting ready for P90X. I was doing the eliptical 45 minutes burning 450 calories 5 times a week and working with weights 3 days a…

I am doing my first round of P90X and just finished week 5. I have lost 21 pounds so far but have another 30 pounds I would like to lose. I'm sure it will take be all summer and I am planning on doing a second round of P90X when I finish this first round. My question is, would insanity be better for weight loss instead of…

Today was my first day of week 5. I am really loving these workouts. I am still not crazy about the YogaX; it's the hardest one for me. But, I do what I can. Those salutations at the beginning are the worst. Once I get through those, it's all good. I did my workout this morning and this afternoon I felt like doing more.…

I am sorry to hear about the MIL. Hope she gets better soon. I am in my week 3, day 4, Yoga. I think this is the hardest workout for me because it lasts so long. Those salutations he does at the beginning feel like they will never end. I think we do 5 but it feels like 25. I was going to switch to the Stretch X program…

I just started week 3 and I've already lost an inch off my waist. I can tell I am getting stronger and am able to get through Plyometrics without pushing pause. I'm proud of me.

The plyo is pretty hard on my joints but I'm modifying and keeping my landings soft and I think I'll be ok. I did chest and back with abripper x today. I was bringing it today. Bringing it and loving it. It was a great workout. Can't wait for tomorrow.

I'm starting week 2 and I still love it. I'm working hard and feeling great. Although I am on atkins, I am no longer doing induction and eat around 90 carbs per day. I have looked over the nutrition program with p90x and it is very similar to what I am doing. The main carbs I am cutting out are sugar and potatoes. Also, I…

I am loving this workout. Today was legs and back and abripperx. It was a good exercise day. I can already see increased strength in my abs and this is my first week. My posture is already much improved. I think that I will start doing doubles in week 4.

I think I have finally figured out how my body works. My body can not handle sugar. When I eat sugar, my body burns that for energy and nothing else. Then, when there is no sugar, it goes into starvation mode. It starts to store everything, my metabolism slows, I have no energy and I feel awful. If I am eating plenty of…

Your suggestions were correct. I started on Monday and modified the workout to my fitness level. I bought a pullup bar to fit over the door but I also found bands to hook onto the door and I will be using them for awhile. I have to do my pushups on my knees and forget about putting my feet on a chair. I'm getting a great…

I started doing Atkins 5 weeks ago today. I am through with induction and into ongoing weight loss. This means I am eating a lot of protein and low carbs already. My weight loss has been 1 lb a week for the last 2 weeks. I did have some trouble with all the jumping in plyometrics. It really bothers my right knee. I think I…

I'm trying to lose weight for a wedding too. But, it's not my wedding it's my sons. We should definately stay in touch and keep each other motivated. I'm sure you will reach your goal in time for your wedding.

count me in too. I'm adding cardio to my strength training day.

I am going out tonight to a comedy show, then to dinner and then to a bar for drinks and dancing. I looked up my dinner and entered it into my food log and added the number of drinks I can have as well. That way, I can pace myself and make sure I don't go over my calorie limit. If I have to, I can make changes to it…

One of my favorite quick breakfasts that is really delicious is a container of carbsmart vanilla yogurt and about a dozen blue berries. I had one this morning and it was delicious. The yogurt is only 80 calories and the blueberries are about 15. Add an Atkins chocolate drink and you have a great breakfast that sticks with…

I have ordered P90X and can't wait to get started.

What kind of shape do you need to be in to start P90X? My cardio level is pretty good. I can do the elliptical at 4.0 - 5.0 for 35 minutes. But my muscles are pretty weak. I haven't been doing any weight training for years and I have about 40 lbs. to lose. Do you think I could handle it or should I keep working out at the…

If you are doing a low carb diet, you only count the net carbs. That is the number of carbs minus the dietary fiber. It is explained at the Atkins.com website. It is also how the south beach diet works. You can eat sugar substitute foods after you get your cravings under control. Sometimes, the sugar free foods will still…
