so ive been trying to eat healthy these last few weeks, ive cut out chips, other snacks like that
ive also been sticking with water(occasionally id throw a dab of real lemon in to it to mix it up a bit.) and i havent had any fast food.
ive been surprised that i havent seen any improvement from that alone
i also do a daily 30min walk and for the last week and a half ive been doing walk off the pounds
and still the daily fluctuations im seeing dont seem out of the ordinary,
anyway,
i mentioned this to one of my friends and he said i could borrow his dvds for p90x i just need to get some resistance bands
he says its a great workout and from what ive seen on youtube it is, but i hear its hard even for athletes let alone big people
so im curious if anyone in the 300+ range has tried p90x and if its been worthwhile

I haven't tried it; I have a friend who's around 170 lbs who is doing it and said it's pretty tough. But if you have the opportunity to try it for free then what does it hurt to just borrow the dvds and have a look? Give it a try and if it's too intense for you to keep up with, well, you didn't lose anything.

I'm scared of P90X! I read an article where Pink said she tried it and it kicked her butt. I know I'm in nowhere near as good shape as Pink. But you know what? I'd say go ahead and try it. Because 1. it's you and not me (lol), 2. Like the previous poster said, if it doesn't work, you didn't lose anything. And 3. You may be able to modify some of the moves until they get a little easier. Let us know how it goes!

There is a fit-test that they give you too see if you're fit enough to try it (which is pretty advanced) might try goggling for that.

I'd go look at some clips of it on you-tube too and see what you think. Quite a number of the exercises are body-weight type of strength, and those you'd likely have trouble with (Not even sure if I could do some of them yet!)

You'd probably be better off doing some straight up strength DVDs (Jari Love etc) and waiting until you dropped more weight.

I'm sure you can modify some of the moves but not all of them. It probably wouldn't be impossible, but if it was me I'd get frustrated at the number of things I was unable to do.

That being said Ive seen/have the p90x videos but haven't tried them yet. I wanted to start them this year but they would interfere with my triathlon workouts so I'm waiting until this fall.

Yeah I tried it and it's crazy hard.
