Those of us that have been around here a while have seen the dozens, no, hundreds of posts where someone is complaining that they don't like yoga, or kenpo, or pullups, or eating according to the plan, or whatever. It's almost like the poster is looking for permission to give up.

I don't want to sound mean, but get real folks! This is NOT EASY! This is EXTREME! If you want easy, go sit on the couch and eat chips!

If you want the results that are possible with P90X, you have to FOLLOW P90X! Not P78 1/2. Not P90Almost. Either do it, or don't.

If you don't, no big deal, that's your choice. But if you don't get the results you want, it's your fault. You can't say P90X didn't work for you, because you DIDN'T DO P90X!

This program works. I am living proof. I was fat. I have 7 days left to go. I have gone from stuffing myself like a sausage into 38 inch waist jeans, to needing a belt to hold up 32s. I still have some fat to lose, but I can see my abs...well, most of them. I have a 4 pack, working on a six pack. Before I had a keg. I am fit, really fit, for the first time in my life. I am taking on new physical challenges that I used to think were for "other people".

You can do it, but it takes work, and you HAVE TO FOLLOW THE PLAN!

Okay, I'm off my soap box.

as a recovering fattie, I totally agree with you.

So true Caedenspa! Notice how after 20-30 days, posters will just disappear? This program is NOT easy, it requires a real commitment. Your life is not going to change if you don't make changes! It's easy to give up, it's easy to say "Well, I'll just skip this workout." Before you know it, you're no longer doing any of the workouts, and stuffing your face again. Yes, I feel crazy sometimes for feeling guilty about not doing a workout, but I make it up as best as I can, and I keep going. You have to make working out and eating right a habit, a new lifestyle. After every 3 weeks there is a recovery week, not only to help your body recover, but to give yourself a mental rest as well.

I have noticed that 30 day thing, there are about 100 people posting about starting this week, but I find only around 10% of those post go past 30 days.

Okay I admit Kenpo is my least favorite...do I sub or skip it...NO! There is nothing in the guide or the website that all of p90x was going to fun, entertaining, or easy. It is, however, life changing. This former fatty won't deviate from the plan at all. It isn't an option. This forum is like most gyms in January.

Caedenspa. I did 60 days straight but then ended up on a three week plus vacation and only able to fit in about 3-4 days a week of lifting. But im gonna restart the whole thing Monday morning.
anyways i was wondering if you could give me some of you diet meals you used. I lost 25 pounds but still have 20-25 more to go. The workouts im good with but the diet can be difficult to find easy quick meals for a guy that works 10 plus hours a day.

thanks everyone
