[naamanb]

[MissSophz14]

my mum lost over 2 stones from weight watchers but im 2 young 4 that LOL. she looks good now. it was the point system on the diet plan and regular excerise 3 times a week

[firefight750]

Looking good. I'm sure you've heard this before, but you should follow the program to the "T". P90X comes with a proven diet that works. Well, congrats on the results, and keep on bring it!

[diegotutiven]

is good, keep it up. restaurants food and fast food is your #1 enemy, go home made

[ktonlai]

damn girl, you would look fine in a bikini

[ccj2012]

Keep on keeping on and congrats on your results. Get a calorie counter like Mynetdiary from Apple Store - its awesome and will really help you keep track of your calories - For Women especially you can't just do P90X you have to follow a diet as well - don't eat out if you don't have to. Stay positive and focus on what you want, you can do it!

[TwiztidDarts]

I trhink you look good i like gurls with a lil meat on them

[sww00a79602]

Good job Melissa. :)

The BEST diet you can be on is Paleo. Eat lots of vegetables and meat with some fruit. Snack on nuts & vegetables throughout the day, then have one big meal. Stay around 50g to 100g total carbs.

Better skin (cellular turnover)

100% fat burning

More solid muscle creation (no bulk)

Bottom line: Humans have been eating paleo for millions of years, our bodies thrive on it. First two weeks will be tough, but then you will feel incredible.

[destiny6666]

spot on Steve, if we all ate fruit, veggies, lean meats, nuts & seeds, we'd all have six packs and feel amazing !!

[wrightwayphotography]

good job i'm on week one I love it.

[fgutierrez1]

I bought the P90X videos, along with the P90X plus, resistance bands, chin up bar, push up stands and I have a few free weights. I have not started the workouts yet, as I just had a beautiful baby boy 3 weeks ago and waiting for my 6 week postpartum period to be over so that I may avoid any injury. My question is, do you suggest taking the Vitamin & recovery formula supplements? My husband and I currently use whey protein not sure if that is sufficient? Please advise, it would really help.

[CrimsonBlade911]

I think its an incredible part of the program (the vitamins and recovery drinks) but they arent necessary. My results so far came from dieting and will with regular ol' whey protien. But by all means if you can and want the vit's then get them, it will only add to your results. beware though the recovery drink adds about 300 calories, so use it on those tough days and make sure to bring it every step of the way. Good luck.

[ljuarez714]

good stuff, look at my video to see my transformation

[mon3yclipproductions]

Your hot :D

[3Pinklemons]

Melissa,

Way to go for being honest. Learning more about nutrition is the way to go. I could improve on it as well. Thanks for the motivation.

[MzPenspeaks]

Girl you have inspired me.. I'm about to order it for real!

[tgoode5]

Good Luck. I just started day 1 today! I'm trying P90X along with some dietary supplements!

[iHateToRegister]

[lilyplante]

PS: you should try the "eat clean diet" book. It talks about nutrition;its a way to eat for life. its about 20$ i like it; it helped me understands good fat; carbs, protein and all!

Hope to ear from you; dont give up! See you soon; Liz

[lilyplante]

Hey MEL! im about to receive P90X by mail; cant wait. Im scared as HELL! LOL Ive lost 60 pounds by starting at curves and Gym 2 yrs ago. ive gained 15lbs this past year ; and like you, im trying to lose it.

[pinknblackII]

Thanks for being so brave and showing your results. Thanks for your advice too, I'm looking to buy this stuff this week

[melissa4helms]

No problem keep staying strong to achieve your goals

[88nicetat]

I recommend going to the library.  You know they have tons of books about nutrition, body & exercising, diet books<-I don't recommend (its just me).

[jessedabody]

Good luck on your endeavor to change you're body composition:) Stay focus and it will all come together in the end:P

[melissa4helms]

thanks sooo much for your comment it was nice of you

[ItsIncubus]

do weight watchers, i did it and lost 3 lbs in the first week, they focus more about portions then what you eat, thast where the points system comes into play. its very very affective, i lost 15lbs on it in 3 months but i also ran and lifted weights. and i want to do p90x but while i do that im still going to run and lift as well. but back to weight watchers, you can eat whatever you want as much as you want as long as you dont go over the points they give you for that day. good luck.

[melissa4helms]

Going to check into it now thanks i'm willing to try anything. Thanks

[JeannieNC]

Very inspirational! I'm hoping to start a new healthy way of living & will be checking back for motivation! Great job! *hugs

[melissa4helms]

Please don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it i don't mind helping others because they are what makes this possible.

[georgejcook]

hey! Thanks for your lovely videos! Me and my girlfriend are going to start and hearing from you really helps! We both think you're looking great - it's really working! Keep it up!

As far as nutrition goes, we've recently turned vegan (after being veggies for a few years), and we've found that to be really good, so maybe try and cut back on meat and dairy and add more veggies, fruit, pulses and soya. That worked for us. You're educating yourself though - so you will succeed! GREAT STUFF! :D

[melissa4helms]

That's sooooooooooo much for the sweet comment. love it. thanks for letting me inspire you girls people like you are the reason i can keep going because i know i'm not just counting on myself but others are counting on me. Thanks to eveyone. you are all a great help.

[FOXYJA47]

Awesome girl...

[MrsKLB]

Do Not be so hard on yourself! U look amazing and that is so true about feeling really crappy if u miss some workouts... so good advice.

Have you also tried eating smaller meals throughout the day?Try to eat between 4-6 times a day every 3-4 hours to keep your metabolism up :-)

[melissa4helms]

You know this comment really helps thanks alot i will try to do that in my nutrition.

[kbet80]

Listen up girly!!! You're doing a great job! You know what you need to do and you're doing it! Just keep going. :) We're all here with ya!

[melissa4helms]

Thanks so much people like you is why i stay motivated.

[KLForrester2007]

Keep it up Melissa! The more muscle you gain the higher your metabolism gets. You can do it. Just stay positive.

Keith

[melissa4helms]

Thanks so much for your support

[FitnessIntensity]

Melissa - great progress so far. Keep on pressing play. After you learn the workout moves and get into the workout grove I started to plateau and it was because of the nutrition side of things. The nutrition is so very important. Try not to complicate things with your diet, keep it simple. Know how many calories you need and break up between fats, carbs, protein. What helped me was I cut out one bad food at a time - I don't drink anymore, no sodas, no chips. I eat simple foods...good luck

[melissa4helms]

Thank you so much for you advice thanks so much for you comment and your time.

[shadylane2121]

I have issues not eating enough. The one tip I would offer is portion control and preparing healthy meals ahead a time.

[melissa4helms]

Thanks so much for your advice it's greatly appreciated.

[MySummerBelly]

Check out Sean's vids also. His handle is Underground Wellness. I had a free consultation with him and he is just awesome! You'll love his videos. Good luck and I'm starting soon!

[P90SEXY]

For dinner I get boneless skinless chicken and grill it with garlic and a little bit BBQ sauce, I also cut up 1 cup of mixed bell peppers and onion and grill them a little bit (not too much), and put that on top of 4 cups of spinach with some low fat shredded cheese on top

For snacks I eat a protein bar and recovery drink after my work out and for the afternoon snack I usually eat a cheese stick or some almonds or soy nuts.

I hope this maybe gives you some ideas!

[P90SEXY]

Hey you,

I've found that the best approach to the nutrition plan for me was going with the portion approach. I just take the book to the store with me and but things off the list in the book. I'm on phase 1 still but:

I eat 6 egg white, 1 slice of ham, 1 whole wheat english muffin, 1 banana, and 16 oz of milk for breakfast.

For lunch I make the tuna salad recipe in the book. It's super easy and fast and I put that on top of 4 cups of spinach

[kaseycrats]

you're a very realistic women nice to watch someone like you.

[oklahomajewel]

Hey girl !!! thanks for bearing your ... soul.. to show us your progress! You're encouraging me! I will take day 14 pics today . Probably won't see much but I can feel it ! Hope you get the nutrition where you want it , I'm sure if you have kids at home that's hard.... hang in there!!

[melissa4helms]

I goal is help people who need some focus and just can't do it on their own they need to see it possible you know see to believe? Can't wait to see your progress.

[heyitsines]

Wow you look awesome! I missed yesterday and I'm doubling up today. I am planning to get married next year so I really need to stick to it.

[melissa4helms]

You go girl it's really nice to see you using my advice about doubling up so you can catch up. you'll pull through we all fall sometimes but you just get back up, keep bringing it girl you can do it.

[colbuterfly]

Hey sweetie, you are very inspirational, I think you are doing a great job, and you can really tell the difference, you are really much more toned and have lost a lot of inches. Great job

[melissa4helms]

You're comment gives me a lot of hope thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to comment me.

[mzebony]

You're coming along well Melissa, real proud of you! When you double up, what are you doubling up with? Try this for a week or 2 and let me know how it goes: On the days when you do weight training videos, do a cardio video right after it. When I did this, I saw the fat come right off (mind you I learned this late during P90X). As for eating, try eating your starchy carbs (rice, potatoes, bread) with lean protein before 2pm and just lean protein and veggies after that. Let me know how it goes!

[melissa4helms]

Thanks for all your valuable info and i will do that thanks again so much.

[swedo23]

go for it=)

[bjay100]

Looks like your doing a great job and approaching this is a very informed and intelligent way. :) I look forward to seeing you reach your goals!

[melissa4helms]

Thanks bunches for your support and uplifting. It really helps me out.
