Robmeister's Fitness Goal

I think I'm already doing most of the exercises required. But one of my goals for the new year is to try and modify my diet so I can shed a few pounds of body fat.

They have a "wizard" that, based on inputs (age, weight, waist, etc...) it recommends a senible mix of carbs, protein, fats and caloric level. It's pretty dang handy because you then plug into the meal tracker and it tracks it all for you. You can design your own meals or follow their recommendations. I just design my own with what we normally have in the house.
Unless your doing the actual P90 / P90X workouts chances are that yer not doing what they do. Not that what your doing is wrong. But I've been working out off and on in different ways and for different time spans for 30 years. And I've NEVER done stuff like this. He (Tony Horton) does utilize some basic moves and exercises, but MAN--especially in P90X--he has ya doin' stuff that is downright BRUTAL.
P90X's thing is Muscle Confusion....never allowing your muscles to settle into a routine by utilizing combinations of Pilates, Power Yoga, Plyometrics, weights, body-weight stuff that indeed hit all the major (and minor) muscle groups but in an ever changing, change-up way that DOUBLES the shredding capabilities.
INTENSE STUFF.

Here's another of my Power 90 / P90X accountability partners, ScottyMac.
Again....This sh*t works, man!!!
Robmeister:
OK....Day #55 of Power 90 and goin' pretty strong.
Made it through the holidays fairly unscathed.
Missed 3 days of exercise a couple weeks back due to cold/flu (I don't believe in working out through sickness).
Overall I've maintained workin' out 5.85 times a week!
Been losing inches much more readily than LBS. I've lost 2.5 inches and 3% BF in 54 days of P90. This to me is more significant than the 11 lbs I've lost.
But I'm "BRINGIN' IT" and averaging right around 2,100 calories per day on the nutrition part (higher Protein/Lower Carbs ---- and of course, NO ALCOHOL WHATSOEVER).
Weight: 236 (11 lbs lost) O0
Waist: 40.5" (2.5 inches lost) O0
BF%: 23% (3% lost) O0
