re: P90X-3/T-25/Insanity in-game thread

Will the recovery drink stop you from losing weight?

No, I used it when I did the original P90X after every workout about 3 years ago and I went from 216 to 183.

There are 3 different kits at 3 different prices. Here is the LINK

I am very out of shape as well. 6-1 225lbs.

I find that not having good flexibility and balance hinders me more than being out of shape.

I am 6'1" 216 at the moment. Totally out of shape and P90X will help with the balance and flexibility. I am looking to get down to about 190 by the end of my 90 days. It is very doable. I did it last time and followed the diet loosely. I like to have a few beers everyday so that is my kryptonite when it comes to loosing weight. I dropped 30 lbs the 1st go around last time without giving up my beer (although I cut back some.)

Diet is 75% of this workout…hope everyone has been following the nutrition guide to a T!

I've done really well so far…I drank 5 beers during the Saints game but it's the only beer/liquor I've had in the new year so far. In order to be successful, you will need to have a checkmark by the diet box and the workout box…also, read the nutrition guide carefully…a lot of people THINK they are eating healthy but they aren't

Here are 3 examples of my diet:

Breakfast - egg white ham omelet with veggies and fresh fruit
snack - apple
lunch - spinach grilled chicken salad
snack - 2 servings pistachios
dinner - grilled salmon with quinoa

breakfast - organic oatmeal with almond milk
snack - 2 organic waffles with peanut butter
lunch - grilled shrimp PHO
snack - banana
post-workout drink: 2 scoops of syntha 6, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter & banana blended with ice and water
dinner - Mediterranean salad with grilled chicken

breakfast - organic waffles with peanut butter
lunch - spinach salad with strawberries, granola, carrots, grilled chicken, light vinaigrette, light feta
snack - pumpkin seeds
post-workout protein shake (just 2 scoops of syntha 6)
dinner - vegan curry with quinoa (instead of rice)

OK, the diet is a big problem for me. I'm 36 with a wife and 2 kids. I cook for the family every night. I'm just not going to cook a good meal for them and not eat it. I drink a 12 pack a weekend. I need something where i can eat what I want, but just do more to drop some pounds.

Sounds like P90x is not for me.

is it a 3 phase diet like the last one? fat shredder, endurance enhancer and such?

I plan on resting. I started on a Monday b/c I want Sunday as my rest day. Saturday is usually my drinking day. I plan on doing my workout Sat. morning and then doing my regular Saturday routine which is watch football and drink beer or play golf and drink beer, depending on the season. During the week I will usually have just a glass of wine with dinner, but I have suppers with friends every Thursday night and I drink plenty of beer then. I did this 3 years ago and the weight came off, so I will try it again.
