  • I got one at Target for about $25. There were a few other that were cheaper but the one I got is digital and has been working great! I think it's an awesome idea to purchase one. It has helped me A LOT.

  • I'm on week 3 of P90X. I started it to gain muscle weight and get really toned. I also changed my diet big time. I'm eating 50% protein, 30% carbs, and 20% fat.

    in P90X... does it REALLY work? Comment by megpapier October 2011
  • I must drink up to 8 cups of coffee a day lol it helps me not snack on other things throughout the day since I have a desk job and get bored easily.

  • Thank you very much! Oh and my profile still says I weigh 73 pounds (I need to update it) but I went to treatment and weigh close to 100 now so I am able to do P90X. Just didn't want people on here to see my profile and think I was some sicko for wanting to do P90X too lol.
