Hey guys, I'm so glad I found this thread! I just started P90x and am just finishing up week 1. I'm doing sort of a modified version though since I live in an old apartment building with very thin floors and thus can't do any of the jumping activities, so instead of plyo and actually cardio, I'm running outside on those days. I feel kind of cheated because plyo is supposted to be really tough, but oh well, p90x is tough enough anyway and with the weather getting warmer, I have to be outside

I did legs and back yesterday and while I was doing it, I was thinking, "this is hard, but not too bad." Today my butt muscles are so sore that I can barely sit down! I couldn't finish all of the exercises, but I didn't feel like I was going to die or anything. The same thing happened with the ab ripper. I couldn't finish everything, overall it wasn't too bad, but then my abs killed from Monday until Thursday! At least I know it's working...

I have to go back and read the rest of the thread now - it's great to hear how each person is doing as they progress through the program. Good luck everyone!

So I am starting on week 2 again this week since last week I missed 2 workouts due to wedding stuff. I hate missing Kenpo on saturdays since its a good workout and I didnt do much cardio all week. Hopefully this week I can stay completely on track. Im hoping I really see some results soon. Im starting to stress since the wedding is exactly 3 months away!

So week 2 day 3 and I am completely exhausted. Lol. Plyo kicked my butt last night and I added in an extra 1.5 mile run for good measure and am
Feeling it today. I'm feeling really discouraged since I haven't lost a single pound in the last two weeks but I'm hoping I will start dropping soon. Not sure what's going on since I am counting calories and eating fairly healthy. Anyone else having this issue?

I am in the middle of week 2 and I am up two or three pounds since I started despite eating on plan. I think the gain just has to do with muscle building though - I can definitely see it in my arms and my abs are looking more defined too. And my clothes are a little looser, so even though I haven't measured again, I think I've lost inches despite the weight gain.

You ladies are inspiring! I plan to re-start P90X soon. I've had so many set backs including getting the flu and then I broke 2 ribs in a snowmobiling accident 5 weeks ago. The healing feels like it's taking forever and I took 4 weeks off of exercise because of how bad it hurt. I just started exercising again this week but I'm not quite P90X-ready. Maybe another couple weeks! Can't wait to start again.

Well I missed yoga yesterday because we had some st. Pattys plans last night but I did get in a 2 mile run to hopefully counteract it. I'm up a pound since starting two weeks ago. Hoping it's muscle. Not looking forward to legs and back today( such a killer) but really need a good workout!

I just started this week and holy cow is my body sore. My stomach hurts so bad I tell people not to make me laugh around them!

I'm not following the nutrition guide cause I'm a broke college girl and I need to save all the money I can.

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone was still posting in here! I just finished week 2 of the classic. Its actually my rest day but I'm going to go for a run. Miss it and don't have time the other days. The first week I was SO sore. Sore as well this week but not like last. I haven't lost any weight either dispite staying on plan. Crossing my fingers it comes soon. Let's keep each other motivated! I REALLY want to finish the program!

Beachlover- No worried about the lack in weight loss. That happened to me as well and I was super worried about it but about week 3 I started to see the scale move at a pretty good pace.
I just finished up phase 1 and yesterday was day 1 of phase two. Im pretty sore but liking it because to the end of phase 1 I was really feeling sore anymore. Im still keeping up with the additional cardio a few days a week since I want to lose weight and not just tone up. Plyo today, oh yay!
