Hey Abel

Nice weight loss so far, thats some pretty quick results in two weeks!

How weight loss works is basically your body burning more calories than you consume. Theres a formula in the beginning of the guide that is:
Body weight x 10= Resting Metabolic Rate(RMR)
RMR x 20%= Daily Active Burn(DAB )
RMR+DAB+600(exercise burn)= Maintenance

so when you put your weight of 166 in you get 2592. That is the amount of calories you would need to maintain your current weight while doing P90X. but since you are consuming typically 1800 calories, you are at a ~750 calorie deficit which is about 1.5 pounds a week since one pound of fat is 3,500 calories. (in your case, your doing way better than the math lol) you'll start seeing results after about 3 weeks to a month, you'll be suprised by 60 days how far you've come and by 90, forget about it! you wont even recognize yourself! your love handles will be a thing of the past and youll have abs of steel! Typically you'll see abs around day 30 that will progressively get more toned on through the rest of the program, as for love handles, they can go away anywhere from day 40+

I would suggest you bump up to the 2,400 calorie plan when around your goal of 155 snd try to add in a few more calories. The best way to do that is to track your nutrition on My Fitness Pal, add me as a friend =D (screen name kruda)

Another thing to consider is going to Energy Booster in phase 2 (month 2) to have more energy and to help build muscle (if that is a goal of yours)

Thanks for your help, i am still surprised, every 3 days i get on the scale i keep thinking is broken because is unbelieveble the amount of weigh i lost in day 17, i now weigh 175 with my uniform on. (Military boots and uniform)
And i used to be 173 on day 1 with no clothes.
I also noticed thay my appetite is less and sometimes i eat less than 1800 calories but i am not sure if that is ok because i am at the beginning of week 3.
