Answer 1

My husband and I are in our second round of P90X.  He's 6'3" and started at around 190lbs.  He's cut weight since then, but he's built muscle.  But, since you're starting at a low weight, you will more than likely gain weight in the form of muscle.  The program is designed to cut your body fat and build muscle.  If you do decide to buy the program (which I HIGHLY recommend), be sure to listen to Tony when he talks about picking the right weight.  Since you want to gain weight and muscle, you need to pick a weight that only allows you to do 8-10 reps, and few reps if you want faster results.  Make sure that the last 3 reps in each set are hard to complete.  You want to struggle on the last rep.  If you do more reps, say 12-15, you're going to cause your muscles to build more lean, which will make you look thinner.

Also, be sure to follow the nutrition guide.  It was designed specifically for this program and will give you all the energy you need to sustain your workouts.  Calculate which level you are (level 1=1800 calories/level 2 = 2400 calories/level 3=3000 calories).  Then just follow the plan.  You'll begin seeing results within the first month, but from our experience, the most results were seen in the 2nd and 3rd phases.

Ultimately, this is the best program, fitness and nutritionally that I've ever come across.

I know a few people who tried it, and it wasn't only about them losing weight, but they gained mad amount of muscle. They looked awesome!

I'm just too lazy and cheap to get it :(
