Interesting, it seems to me that you didn't start the program with a lot of fat to begin with.
I reckon 10 hours of dancing a week ought to help you lose about 1-2 pounds a month.
you didn't mention which program of p90x you did so i'll assume "classic" and that is not geared toward losing weight, there is the lean program for that.

Les is right. I learned my lesson the same way. I did "Classic" and loved it! I'm in better physical shape because of it and I lost two belt notches but only about 10 pounds. I've learned a couple of lessons...

Lean means lean! If we need to get lean we won't get as lean if we don't do lean.

Diet AND exercise! It's a package deal. My diet on the first round of P90X could have been better. If you travel and you're stuck in a hotel you know that it's difficult to eat the way you need to eat. Now that I'll be off the road for awhile I'm looking forward to better results.

It flies in the face of what most of us have learned, but we need to stop worshipping at the altar of the bathroom scale as being the sole determining factor in our overall health. Many of us are also aware of the body mass index (BMI) that places height and weight on a nomogram and it determines obese from non-obese. If the BMI is to be believed, many professional athletes would be classified as obese. Waist circumference is now becoming a standard for obesity determination. And it reflects fat deposition around the waist. If you're losing that fat, you're becoming more fit, even if you're not losing weight!

So, ironically, even though I'd like to lose more weight (my joints will feel better for it) and it will be a goal in my second trip through, I know that I've benefited significantly from the program already. I'm moving to the lean version of P90X Plus and I start next week.

Hope this helps...
