first, looking at you and im assuming your goals I dont think p90x is right for you.

Our goal is to maintain muscle so what do think is going to happen if you increase your volume and reduce cals? and you want to loose weight pretty quick so my suggestion is to make changes to your diet and just cut back a bit on the training volume and keep intensity high.
plug in cardio only as you see fit. to much cardio and high rep training and your lift numbers will take nice drop lol
good luck!
I started my training today. I lifted, boxed then I did my running (well what I could run anyways). Didn't feel like waiting for Monday. I did my weight training reps in the 8 rep range. I am not going to do the 12-15 range. Changed my mind on that as it really just is not for me. I have changed up my diet drastically since I made this post. I can't really mess with my diet and eat too much until I level out at my goal weight. Right now I am just making sure I eat enogh protein to keep my body in a positive nitrogen balance. Once I get to where I need to be I can tweek everything if you know what I mean. It is what works for me personally. And sadly the amount of weight I will be able to lift will drop for awhile because of the drastic lowering of the calories, and the added boxing and running. I am aware of it and it always happens so it is not really too big of a concern for me. I am naturally strong but cardio is my weak spot so I really need to hammer my cardio even though my strength will drop. Luckily my strength will be pretty easy for me to get back up to par once I get to my goal weight and I can really tweek my training/ calories etc
