So I just started the P90X program yesterday to get in shape... I am trying to lose about 40 pounds.
Anybody else try this program yet (or need too
)?

I can copy the nutrtion guide for you if you like. Also, I'll have to check but the nutrition guide may be on their website. Let me see if I can find it online for ya.
I have a bunch of them in pdf format if you cant find them I can rar em up and send over as well.
anything you guys can do will be appreciate. i needed to start working out forever and i hope this is it. if i can get copies of the books and dvds it would be fantastic
Gonna have to lay off the beer and junk food for a while. It sucks! I never ate breakfast but I guess you have to eat breakfast then a snack between lunch and then another afternoon snack between lunch and dinner and then you cant eat anything after dinner!! I used to love eating cereal at around 11pm lol Must fight cravings!
junk food shouldnt be bad but beer maybe. i love my beer lol. I guess i can just buy the beer and throw it in my beer cellar until i can have a drink
I cant buy any! If I buy it I drink it lol I have one tall boy in the fridge and it just stares at me everytime I open the fridge lol It hasnt been a week but I bet willpower will take over this weekend lol
see once it hits the cellar im pretty good and not drinking anything. i think i can do this lol
Laying off the booze is by far the toughest thing I've ever done! hahaha! Also eating healthy and realizing your only drink is water was really difficult at first. Took me about a month and a half to get used to it. My brother went from 304 lbs to 277 when he finished. Now that he isn't working out and following the same eating patterns and drinking water he is down to 264. I would probably recommend you to go and run a couple of days in a row so your body isn't entirely unused to some workout otherwise you are going to feel it the next day, for the first 2-3 weeks!

Only water????
f**k! What do they have against Diet Dr. Pepper? 
That's what I wanted, but my budget was a little low. This will do for the time being.

Thats awesome!!! yeah drinking water is no biggy for me. I try to stay away from pop. what gets me is that morning energy drink which ive wanted to stop drinking for a long time. my parents are giving me their treadmill so thats good to get started. I dont run outside ever especially when its 90-100F out

I got myself some meal replacement shakes for the morning, since I don't have time to cook it serves the purpose. Keeps me full until 11:30-Noon. So I eat two pieces of string cheese between 10:30-11am and eat lunch around 1. I snack on fruit around 6:30-7p and eat dinner at 10
. There's tons of stuff you can eat that's good, but there's a bigger amount of stuff that doesn't taste very good
. I was recently looking for oatmeal and found brown sugar "Weight Control" so there's all these alternatives to what you like and still taste good, that was just an example. Only water????
Still contains corn syrup
it may not contain "sugar" but it still has all the little stuff that helps you gain weight. You can drink 8oz of Orange juice a day
I am currently drinking 5 gallons of water a day.
Ok This is the 4th day and I weigh the same!! I told the wifey I prolly lost a couple pounds of fat but all the Muscle ive gained has kept me the same weight!!! Im so buff now!! Not! lol

How much do you weigh?
I had to cut my Monster addiction!! I was drinking 2 of the big Monster energy drinks a day. I miss it!
I haven't been jogging because of the weather, but I love jogging on the beach when is 90-100F
, when is that hot inland it usually means is 15-20 degrees lower down by the shoreline so running at 80F is manageable.
166 lbs

Tell goodguy to lay off those monsters! He has an addiction to them lol Plus our family has a history of Diabetes so theyre not good to beging with anyways. I havent started jogging but I think I might add a couple days of jogging to go along with the p90x. I started the Lean course since its the only way to keep the wifey going, were doing it together so If I stop she stops lol

I lost 12 pounds in my first 2 weeks, but I had completely cut everything that was not on the nutrition guide. Don't weight yourself daily though otherwise it will mess with your mentality. Try to do it every other week. Or on the day that you have off, since you don't really have to do x-stretch. That's every 7th day. And you probably won't start noticing change in your body until around week 5-6. That's when you finish the Cardio week and start the muscle building week.
Also, is freshly squeezed OJ
not market OJ lol---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

I am doing the classic, but my gf is doing the lean, there are only 3 exercises that are on different days for the first 3 weeks. There seems to be more cardiovascular stuff on the lean than on the classic. Btw I hate Yoga and Kempo

Tonight is Yoga
I might skip it and do Cardio or Core. I dont feel like stretching out lol I dont mind starting off on lean just to get the wifey going. Im not fat just got a beer belly so focusing on my midsection fat wouldnt hurt me.
