CONGRATS on dropping the inches!!! The weight loss is definitely not as important as the inches lost. If you’re losing the inches, but not losing the weight, that just means that you are losing the fat and gaining some muscle which is a GOOD thing. Muscle weighs more then fat and it also helps to burn fat so you’re creating a fat burning machine! :-) You’re also only about 3 weeks into it so give it time and keep sticking with the nutrition and your workouts.

Keep pushing play and keep us updated!

Is it strange that I’ve been following this along w meal plans and only have lost 2lbs? Buuuuut I have lost an inch off my waist and 3″ off my hips. Still can not do a stinkin pull up wout a chair. I’m not overweight at all. Hoping month 2 brings more results :o) ( I’ve read week 8 is when u really notice)

In reply to Ray.

Congrats Ray for getting to day 25 of P90X!! I also appreciate the kind words…

If you mean that your lower back is sore, then yes, after the workouts that used my back and lower back I was very sore during my first round of P90X. I think just about every muscle in my body was sore most of the time during my first 90 days of P90X! :-) It sounds like you may need to do some extra stretching before and after the workouts. That should help alleviate some of the stiffness/soreness. If you feel any sharp pain or anything unusual then it would definitely be a good idea to see your doc. Hope that helps buddy! Keep pushing play with P90X!

Hey Jonathan,
I know these posts are from last year, but I wanted to tell you I’m on day 25 and have been following your progress as you went through your first P90x go-around. It’s been cool seeing someone get the results, yet go through the same struggles as I am now.
Quick question though… did you get a lot of lower back stiffness during phase I?

Thanks! and keep it up

Thanks!!

Wow! That’s pretty crazy if you’re going to have to use a Yoga block…I really feel like it would be a loooonnng time before I ever got to that point. That’s awesome that you’re so flexible!

lol….I’m just short overall! :-) What’s the name of the crazy flexible lady on the P90X DVD’s? I think she’s in the X Stretch?

Wow!! I’ve never been able to put my legs behind my back! That’s awesome that you’re that flexible!

Thanks…My flexibility is slowly but surely increasing!

Oddly enough, for my size, I’m extremely flexible. I can still put my legs behind my head if dared.

I’m glad you are seeing progress though. It’s always nice no matter how small.

Congrats on the continued progress. That is awesome.

Yea, I have been bad at doing X Stretch..I tend to rest on those days thus far. I am fairly flexible and can get my palms almost completely past my toes. I will be using a yoga block very soon.

I think you said you felt your arms were short…so that doesn’t help if you are trying to touch your toes, but does help during chinups :)
