Starting P90X
Hey everyone today starts a new day in my life I am finally able to start P90X. I took the test last night and passed which makes me very happy. I will be honest my weight has gone up about 15lbs in the last six to eight months and it kills me. So I am devoted to get down to a hundred and seventy five pounds my August. That would roughly be about twenty pounds lost. My fiancé has been doing it for a month and lost sixteen pounds so I can meet my goal. Has anyone every done P90X? If so what were your results in about a month time frame. I will also be eating healthy and counting calories to make sure I get maximum results. Thanks for any advise to help with my future endeavor.

Re: Starting P90X
20lbs by august seems like a slightly unrealistic goal becuase the most you really should be losng is about 2lbs a week and with august only 4 weeks away that would be about 8lbs.
Guys are able to lose weight way easier and faster then women can so try not to compare to what your fiance is able to do because that will just discourage you.
I would reccomend trying to set a mre realistic goal then 20lbs by august and tracking your calories of something like myfitnesspal. If your goal isnt something you can realisticly reach then it will be harder to stay motivated. I would say just make the goal to follow the first 30 days of p90x and see where that gets you rather thn a time fame to lose the lbs by
The main thing that people seem to forget, though, is that p90x is not actually a weightloss program. You are going to build some muscle, especially in the first 30 days, that will help you start to burn the extra weight, but is also going to counterbalance with the fat loss on the scale. Most women see their biggest results after week six.
It is a great program, and I love it even when it kills me, but I would hate to see you give up after the 30 days because the 20 lbs aren't gone. If you can focus on inches lost, and how you feel while working out, I think you'll have more success with the program.
Good luck!
I lost 16lbs with my first round of P90X but that was when I was learing about clean eating and I didn't follow the eating plan well till about half way through. Down 30 now, so just rememeber to keep up the effort
If you have any questions about the program remember you can always contact your coach that is assigned to you when you buy the program- mine were a great help
i LOVE that program! dont pay attention to the scale, because the scale lies. i lost tons of inches, but only a few lbs.
