I started the classic P90x routine today and, even though I can't lift my arms up now, feel great. What an intense workout! I had to stop Ab Ripper with six minutes left because I thought I was about to puke... was dizzy and nauseous from the chest and back video. I'm looking forward to getting a few weeks in and building up a healthy habit!

For reasons I cannot explain, I initially had a goal of starting this at 220 pounds but decided to start when I was 244. That was two weeks ago when I made the decision and only one week of actually going through the exercises. It's incredibly intense but well worth it. The stretching is amazing and I can tell that I am more limber than I ever was before this and I can begin to see an inkling of muscle tone in my arms and shoulder. Let's be real, part of that is fat loss, but any improvement is just that, an improvement. Thank you sleeve, thank you Tony Horton, and thank you verticalsleevetalk!

Would yall think the precurser "Power 90" program would be good if we're just starting out and still extra Pooh-sized? I want to get started on something like this but it sounds like the P90x would chew me up and spit me out LOL.

I just heard about this not too long ago. It does sound interesting. I mean, it sure couldn't hurt to take the small hop before leaping over the moon!!

Love that line Diva! :) I think I may get the Power 90 before I jump into the P90x. I did take a look at the website and I gotta say the Brazilian Butt set looks promising too LOL Has anyone tried that one/

With P90x, you can change the routine to the "lean" version that is predominately cardio videos and when you feel up to it, you can do the "classic" program. Ultimately, you own 12 DVDs and it comes with instructions on how to watch them in a series that works best for you. With the cardio workouts, i certainly couldn't keep up with the folks in th video, I just went at my own pace and have slowly built up enough endurance to be able to almost match them. All of this to say that i don't know about the power 90 except it was a precursor to P90x. I have read that a new version is coming out this year too, called P90x:MC2 (muscle confusion). Just do it, at your pace. :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
