hubby & I both had 50+ lbs to lose and we're in our 50s. we decided to start with P90 bootcamp 3/1/2010. we did 90 days then on to P90Masters. we are in week 11 of Masters and just ordered P90X to start mid September. we have lost 20+# each and while don't expect to keep up with P90X at the start, we think the last 5 months and 22 pounds have got us ready for P90X.if you don't have any major medical issues and you are still fairly young, go for it!

Thanks Avid Reader... I think you just inspired my boyfriend to give your path a shot! I did P90 (the original) about 10 years ago and had great results, stopped somewhere and then no longer had a VHS player, etc. I've heard such great things about P90X and knew we weren't ready for it, but this way makes a lot of sense; wish they publicized it more on their own website!

Just a word to the wise....The P90X nutrition guide calculates way too many calories for women who are trying to lose weight (or maintain). Ladies, I would suggest ditching the diet plan and eating 10 times your body weight up to 1,800 calories a day. Your calories should be 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fat (Lean protein, fruits, vegetables). If you have belly fat, you might want to cut the carbs to a little less than 40% of your daily caloric intake. And remember to take a cheat day once a week to eat what you want. Good luck!

In case anyone else is interested, it was easier just to search the P90 bootcamp and masters in google to find the product pages.

I am in the middle of week 3 and so far have lost 18 lbs. My goal is to get down to around 250 (began the program @ 318). As one poster has already mentioned cutting out the soda (and may I add, chips and other snack food) goes a long way to losing the flab. If you have not purchased the program, go ahead, you will not be disappointed, but be prepared to work. In the first week, I hated yoga. Falling over every time i moved a body part, couldn't keep straight this postion or that position, but after the 3rd time, i was not falling over as much, my balance had improved and so has my flexibility. Now I look forward to the yoga portion. I am in the middle of week 3 and so far have lost 18 lbs. My goal is to get down to around 250 (began the program @ 318).

I love P90x. I was 248 pounds in April of this year. I didnt follow the diet plan but I did do the excercise (actually on round 2 now). At first I couldnt do the whole tape I made it through 30 minutes, then 35 the next day, 45 after that and so on for the first two weeks until I was able to do the whole tap with only a few breaks. After the first round I was down almost 40 pounds. I am now down to 175 and in a size 10 jeans! I have never as an adult been able to wear anything below a 14! I swear by this program and tell everyone that asks me how I lost the weight all about it. It might not be for the unfit, but if you go at your own pace you can get through the program! I love P90x.

Yes. You will need more than just one 90 day round of it though, it won't be super miraculous. I needed to lose 70, I did the diet it comes with and every workout faithfully for 90 days and lost 9 lbs but did tone, lost 1 size. I find other routines more quick to see the scale go down

For me, I always wanted to do that program and was scared to get it, find out it's too hard, and quit. I read a review on this about 4 years ago and someone commented, "Unless your a bad ass, don't do it, start with Power 90" I am so glad I heeded that warning. I did Power 90 and 9 weeks later I did P-90X, I've been doing Beachbody Programs for the last 4 years and became a coach. This is a great deal,so If you want to capitalize on this deal get it, but I would recommend doing P90 first. Any questions, feel free to reply.

I definitely have! Slow and steady weight loss but in my eyes, that's the best kind. Easier to keep off. I haven't really changed the way I eat. I've had mine for about 6 months now and I try to pedal every weekday while I'm working. I've lost about 15 which is good for my 5'3 frame. I really only have about 10 more to go. I typically do about 20 miles a day at a level 4 or 5 (I started out at a 3 but have been doing 4 and 5 for a while now). 20 miles takes me around 75 minutes. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! It's so smooth to ride. And if I'm really busy working I hardly even remember I'm pedaling :) I'm sure if you were more disciplined (eating wise) than me you may lose more. This is really the only exercise I do.

Hello: Not everything works for all people the same. It didn't seem to work for me but that could be due to other factors. I wasn't looking for a quick fix to my weight problem butI was looking for a quick start and didn't get it. There are warnings popping up about the main ingredient and I would advise researching that before spending any money. Sorry, Dick Urban

I tried it a while back, it didn't work for me. Lower ab fat stays on for me, and I don't mind all that much because I found Organic Goat Weed works for me. Resistance sit ups with 100lbs on my chest for 5 sets of 5 reps with 30-120 sec rest is working right now (I feel comfortable doing 8), and I will increase the weight when I can do 10 to 15.

Hi Jude. I can only speak for myself, but I believe the products worked for me. I did not change any of my habits and finally was able to lose a few pounds after being stuck for so long. As I said in the review, I used this product in conjunction with the CLA, so I am not sure of their success alone. Good luck!

I can't speak for everyone, but for me it was a lot slower. I did lose weight, but it wasn't that extreme. My goal was 20 lbs and I'm about 3/4th of the way there. I can tell you one thing, it did help even when I wasn't exercising and that's always been a problem for me. Hope this helps!

I started doing Zumba a few years ago with my girlfriends in a live setting after gaining 20 pounds in college. After taking Zumba classes for a few months, I noticed I was getting more toned- not necessarily losing weight. However, the workout inspired me to do more- running, horseback riding, weight training- and I now weigh ten pounds less than I did in high school (so I lost 30 pounds altogether). I am now a size 2/4. I workout regularly with Zumba, and when I can't get to the gym. It's a great great tool- the cardio aspect is amazing and you WILL sweat. I can promise that you'll have a lot more energy and that you will probably lose some weight, too! All you have to do is stick with it :) Good luck!

Congratulations David!!! I know it's a lot of work. I've been heavy my whole life and am now diabetic. Meds make losing weight even harder. Keep On Trucking.... =D

My wife and I are about the same weights as you guys and we have no problems with weight distribution. She used to complain any time I would get in or out of bed but now nothing. If you decide to try it out here is a coupon for $50 off https://www.tuftandneedle.com/r/5acvsYJI

I am just about done with my 40 day nutrimost program and am 3 pounds short of min loss. The program for first round is $1,990.00 plus all the oil free shampoo, lotion, toothpaste etc. you have to buy. So these drops would be well worth the try. Nutrimost brings to my mind the children's book. "The Emperor's new Clothes"

I love this exercise program! You will tone up but not bulk up with this program. This program will help you burn fat and lose weight. However, in order to lose 130lbs, you will likely get more benefit from a strict diet than any workout program. 130lbs=468,000 calories. That is a lot of working out to burn that many calories. However, with this exercise program and a proper diet, it is possible to reach your goal. Best of luck!
