hey, i started at the same time as you and have arms, shoulders, and ab ripper today as well. I guess we are both doing the classic workout. i'm pretty sore.

My height is 5' 9". I weight 162lbs too, but am looking to drop my body fat, lose my gut, and get to around 150. So i have been taking in around 2000 calories a day so far, mainly protein, and carbs before the workout. Does all this sound alright to you?

Hey fitnessnoobie, nice to hear someone in a similar situation as me. I'm fairly skinny too, always have been. I do have a little bit of extra fat around my gut that I would like to see go away. We have somewhat similar physiques from your pics. Good luck with it and keep in touch. I think that you'll have no problem seeing results seeing you are already toned as it is.

This is day 10 for me and my muscles haven't stopped aching. All I can say is "keep pushing play" and stick with it. Like you said, your already lean so you'll probably see fast results in toning up. Wish I was in your position. lol.

Hey fitnessnoobie,

I'll be just one week behind you. I haven't done any workouts this week so far, but will but doing three of the resistance training for the remainder of this week, and then get on the full routine next week. I did one round of P90X and lost 20 lbs. doing it, but it's been a few months since I've been active (yet I've still lost another 10 lbs...). So now I'm guessing I'm at 6% bf, 5'6", 132lbs. I'm going straight to the 'endurance maximizer' meal plan, with a heavy focus on gaining mass (I can't loss more weight or I'll start looking malnourished).
Supplements are ordered and on their way...let's press play.

It looks like you also have a low bf%, but with some nice arms, shoulders, and upper back. What phase of the meal plan are you starting with?

Let's get in great shape!

I'm with you, same skinny guy who want to have some bulk once in his life. Yoga was a joke today, couldn't do as much as I would have liked, but ab ripper killed me.

Here we go

With ya. Today was Day 3! and every day so far ive needed to take a nap ! but im just ganna keep on pressing play

my name is fitness noobie for a reason lol. So nutrition wise I can'T really tell you much. As for doing ab ripper I'm probably going to suggest that you should wait for the day it comes on the dvd and not to rush it. If I remember correctly towards the end of yoga they really challenged our abs too.

I don't actually have the guide, i just have the disc set, but someone told me the guide recommended 2600 calories, which seems like a lot, so i made a deficit. I'm not dizzy or anything, just really hungry, and i can't not get hungry for longer than a couple hours.

Hello:

My story is that I am 52 years old (and still have trouble believing that fact) and I'm about 20 pounds overweight at this point, 164 lb, 5'8". I have ordered but not received body fat calipers. Using a Navy formula body fat estimate calculator I have 26.9% BF. This is categorized as obese. Twilight zone. I was always skinny until graduating college. With a desk job I put on a few pounds but nothing too serious. At 40, I got back into good shape, still skinny, but 7% BF. I stopped exercising enough, and ate my way into my present situation-mostly bakery goods. My doctor recently put me on cholesterol-lowering medication. That, and the mirror, made me realize that I most likely have a food addiction. I have been eating well for the past month and just started P90 X.

I grew up participating in competitive sports until around age 15. that is one reason I find it difficult to accept my present situation. I am now on day 9. I was very sore in all areas so I took two days off after first six to recover a little more. I passed the test to do P90X but not by much.

At this point, I cannot complete most of the exercises. For some, I must perform an easier option when doing an exercise. For example, diamond push-ups. I have to do those off my knees, and can only do three, with a few additional partial attempts.

I have gone on too long, but wanted to provide enough information to see if any others are in a similar position.
