Hello everyone is anyone doing p90x?

I am down 112 lbs. am am tired with all my workouts, really bored I guess. :biggrin:

I have walk away the miles, biggest loser, the wave, the bow flex and I walk and jog. I have not exercised honestly in a month I was exercising two times a day 5 days a week for four months and then fell off the wagon and haven't in a month. I am still losing but I know I have to get back to working out.

So I was interested in this p90x thing, if anyone with the band is using it, my brother and cousin say its great but I dont know how I feel about it. Anyone who had tried it or heard anything about it please let me know.

Thanks,

Rae

Lots of people at my church are doing it and they LOVE it. They have seen amazing results in a short time and the routine is so varied, it's difficult to get bored.

I am going to start it this week; I just need to watch some of it first so that I'm prepared before I jump in. I really didn't know much about it until my husband mentioned that his Army class was doing some of it for their morning PT; after that I did some research on it. I'm not in the best shape now, so I figure I may have to do my own version of p90x "lite" the first time around, then do the series again when I'm built up. That's the plan for now, but we'll see how it goes!

I just bought this a week ago and I'm soooo motivated. Thing is, I hurt my knee playing tennis a few days ago and I've been laid up. lame.

Anyway, I've heard nothing but great things about it, so I'm really excited to start!!

My question about P90X is the diet plan. Does anyone know how it works with the band? I have talked to many people who had great results from it, and I am nearing the end of my weight loss goal, and now want to adjust it to go about 25 pounds lower than that original goal, I was thinking this would be a great way to do it. The last 30 pounds or so is SO hard!!! But I am just not sure how the diet plan with the program will work with the band. Everyone I have talked to that has done it are not people with the band, and they say that the diet plan is very integral with the program, and really is about 70% of the overall program.

Thanks for any help that can be offered... and keep up the good work all!

I have heard GREAT things about P90X --- you CAN get bored and unmotivated with any video type thing -

So if you are able to get a group of people together to do it the same time and same days....maybe a church group or at a school (parents in the evening), etc......

      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.
