I am also a P90Xer. I also have not lost the amount of weight that I had my mind set on losing when I decided to change my lifestyle at the age of 39. I have gone from a really tight size 12/14 to a size 6. Instead of losing weight the program helped my to change my body composition. I have swapped out fat for lean mass.…

I use the cardio link, then the link that says enter excercise not listed and enter Plyo and the calories burned according to my heart rate monitor.

I own these. In my oppinion they provide great short workouts. The program is intended for people that find their time limited, however in order to get the best results, it is recommended that you do 3 a day. You can do them all in a row or spread them out throughout the day. If you want more information you should go to…

You need free weights, or resistance bands. ChaLEAN encourages you to go heavy...I was doing 30#'s for lower excercise in one of the phases. If cost of equipment is the issue, go for some resistance bands that are much cheaper. I definately recommend this program, it is fun, Chalene is great for inspiring/motivating you to…

Thanks for posting this, it sounds delish:bigsmile:

It is expensive, suppossed to taste awesome, and comes with a 30 day guarantee. It also has whey isolate instead of concentrate like other BB products. I am thinking about trying it, but am leary due to poor physical reactions from the low-quality Protein Powder used in the other products.

I haven't tried it yet, but I just purchased Maximum Results because it has the "Learn and Burn" DVD. I previously had purchased Turbo Jam Live, to preview it, but when I tried it I was totally lost...couldn't get a workout for trying to figure out the moves

great post thanks

great post thanks

If you follow the program as it is laid out, and do your very best to stick to the meal plan or portion recommendations, you are guaranteed to achieve fantastic results!! Be sure to visit the Beachbody message boards for awesome motivation and support...

I have done 3 rounds of P90X, and I absolutely love the program! I highly recommend it and ALL of BeachBody programs, nutrition supplements message boards... all of these tools combined have totally changed my life

This may sound kind of dumb, but what exactly is the 30 day shred? Thanks Licia

I say let go of the calories that you didn't get in yesterday. I completely do not get where the idea of saving up calories or making up calories came from...it is kind of ridiculous to me. Hope that your tooth feels better and that you are able to get on track today.

I eat mine, they keep me from eating things that I shouldn't because I am starving

Way to go with the "heavy" weights Jess. I am anxious to get some heavier ones myself so I can build up to where you are. Right now with my 15's I feel like I am spinning my wheels...I have tried to hold 2 weights in one hand to make it harder, but that is really difficult. I used my husband 30's the other day for some…

I just started using it again. When I tried it the first time it broke my plateau. I am going to stick with it and see if I can get to that number...and my abs:bigsmile: Licia

Hi Jess! Licia

I will try to locate the information that I recieved that explained it to me. Because I know that I can't explain it effectively even though I understand it:smile: Licia

Are you following one of the rotations listed in the program guide? If so, which one is this?

Thanks, now I am back to using the proven method of carb rotation, and being meticulous about it. Of course it means that I have to take the time to change goals daily here, but the end results are worth it:happy: Licia

HAPPY MONDAY! After some late night contemplation I have come to the conclusion that I need to raise my cals. I had lowered them to accomodate adding in my excercise cals (something I had not been doing) I was great for a bit at the new level, but my issue with not being able to resist temptations happens whenever I play…

I have been doing my workouts as scheduled and my nutrition was almost perfect yesterday. Today everything is once again planned out, and there is no "junk' in the house so I should be okay. Licia

Sorry that you had a not so good day yesterday....hope that you have a much better on today! Licia

I found that I was overestimating by about 200 calories, I love my HRM :smile:

My son is going to be a dad in April, which means I get to be a Grandma:happy: We were not expecting this to happen so soon, but we are really excited about it:bigsmile: Got in Shoulders and Arms, plus ARX and when I feel the urge to pick up some unclean food, I start to do other activities that I have been putting…

Jenny it sounds like you made some great home improvements. I hope that they all bring you plenty of joy after this period of aggravation. Licia

Good Morning Gang! I am waking up and planning my meals. I do this every day and I usually only eat what I have planned, as I said before I had a hard time the past two days doing this, Please wish me luck and if I have a moment when I feel the "urge" I will come here first:bigsmile: Today I have Shoulders and Arms along…

Thanks for the welcome 515! I usually stay within my calories and ratios, and 99% of the time I eat clean, I just feel as though I am having a bit of a hard time at the moment. When I clicked here and started looking around I figured that this may be a great place for support outside of BB Boards. As I said " I need all…

Glad that you are back to being yourself... and no worries you can tease me all that you want:happy: I can't believe that I ate cookies nor can I believe what I ate today. Renovations? Please share with me what you did. Was it your kitchen? Do you got pics from before and after? I am a reno junkie:bigsmile: I watch all the…

Hi Jenny and gang. I am feeling like I need a bit more accountability for my nutrition at this time. For some reason I am in a bit of a funk and have eaten REALLY poorly today and had more than my share of cookies yesterday. I am currently in the middle of week 8 of X+. Can I join you all? I need help:huh: Licia
