I am getting ready to start my p90x and have been researching the caloric intake and trying to figure out how I can make this work. I'm in shape and know that won't be the problem, I'm just worried about not having enough steam to make it through with my limited diet. Has anyone completed the program (no offense if you started and didn't finish) but I want to know how people did in each of the phases. Also if anyone wants to start it with me I think it would be great to have some fellow bandsters right there with me to keep motivated!

I am just waiting to get cleared to full exercise this next week and will be starting P90X within the week. The caloric needs of the program as you know are much higher then the band will allow so I will be supplementing protien shakes to ensure that enough protien is taken in. Can't wait to get started though.

I have the p90x and would love to join in with someonelse to stay motivated. I will not follow the food program just the exercise and stick to my own plan.

If you want to start a group I'm in. Send me a message if you decide too.

My husband has been doing the p90x program for about 2 1/2 weeks now, it looks tough!! I would love to join in too!

I'm on week 3 of P90X and loving it. If you want to start off doing P90X, I'd recommend only doing half the video or simply do what you can. Do the amount of reps you can and over time you'll be able to do more.

I personally and from experience would recommend starting off with a less intense workout to prepare for P90X, such as P90 or P90M. I did them all and felt that they helped once I started to do P90X.

I eat about 1300 calories a day doing P90X and have lost 1.5-2lbs a week. I'd also recommend doing the "Lean" version unless you're a guy looking to bulk, then stick to the classic. Be aware that you don't need to follow the P90X eating plan. Find a caloric level that works for you and eat as cleanly as possible. Take a look at Michi's ladder and you'll see what I mean.

Good luck!

I did p90x a few times and I LOVED IT! I've been lazy lately, but seriously, everybody should do it!!!

I just finished my first week of p90x and have to say, I LOVE IT!! It wasn't nearly as hard as everyone is making it out to be but then again I've always been athletic even at my heaviest. I highly suggest anyone that is even considering this to dive in! There is a fitness test you should take before beginning that will determine if you need to start with p90 or p90x. I follow the diet as closely as I can which is probably the hardest part of the program! I haven't weighed myself yet (Monday mornings) but will let everyone know how it goes!
