I did it last year and it worked great. I work too much so I don't have too much free time. I work at night and have a business during the day. We've been real busy for the last few months. I'm going to start up soon as business slows down. I'm at my heaviest ever and need to drop 15lbs by the summer.
I hear that the whole 13 dvd set including manuals and meal plan are available from most torrent sites. Just sayin!

Honestly, I didn't follow the diet to a T, but I used it to modify my already pretty good eating habits. The one major modification was a much more substantial breakfast of oatmeal, fruit, and a protein shake every morning. I also supplemented with a performance minded mens multivitamin and high protein shakes. Just cut out sugar, juice drinks, sodas. Drink vodka club soda instead of jack and coke, eat fruit instead of cookies, you'll be good to go!

My wife knocked it out and her only complaint was the cardio not being sufficient. I tried it for a few days...couldn't make the time commitment. Stick with it man!

Well said!
I'm a big guy (6'2"/200lb) but before going to university at 17 I was only about 165 pounds... real life stickman haha. Anyway, during university I cooked for myself and wason a pretty tight budget so most meals were high protein and veg with little inbetween other than late night coffee and weekend drinks. I also walked/cycled at least a few miles a day about campus to and from class.
I swear, just by living like that I bulked up from 165 around 200 and kept in shape - the weight is muscle and I'm keeping it that way. Of course, if you want to build serious muscle quickly then you do need to do more intensive weights and other routines... personally I just do a bit of that every now and then and lately the rest is cardio. A few weeks ago I thought a gym machine was broken because it said I was sustaining a heart rate of 200... turns out it was working fine! It really is surprising how fast you can get into good shape if you commit to it.

I took me 15 years to go from 155 to just shy of 220 (@ 5'9") with very little body fat. All it took was lifting weights at a hard core powerlifting gym ( http://www.thepitbarbellclub.com/history.asp ) 4 days a week, 2 1/2 hours a day! Wish PX90 was around back then. Probably would've saved me many injuries and a lot of years!

I did 1.5 times through. I had to stop because I had put my body into some sort of shock and gotten shingles.
It worked great, I did the regular p90 routine and rode 30km/day on my bicycle. I ended up dropping from around 190lbs to 160ish, 33-31" waist. I felt great, had enormous amounts of energy, but looked anemic.
I didn't keep it up and have put back on about 10lbs.

P90X is amazing. If you're a lifting type, it'll give you a serious run for your money. And Tony Horton gets pretty hilarious when you know when all his bad jokes are coming.
Ab Ripper X, that's the one to beat. Worst/best 16 minutes of my week. But even the yoga one, which would usually be like an easy day or rest day routine, is as hard to complete as all the others.
If you get past that, or want a change from it, check out Insanity, you can buy it or find a to...[tally legitimate, reasonably priced licensed copy for sale o]...rrent easily online, their "Insane Abs" is a few steps harder.
Dude, you should make this like a build thread and post before and after pictures of your mods, haha.
