I found a flea on my dog Maggie on two different occasions (we live on 3 acres). Both times I spotted the flea as soon as she came inside and I killed it. Both times I never saw another flea after that. It really depends on your dog’s lifestyle . . . if he is at high risk for picking up fleas (running around dog parks, hanging out with other dogs, running through the woods/grass) you might want to stick with a topical product, otherwise Sentinel will probably be fine.

On the rare occasion that you might get a flea inside your home, chances are it will stick with your dog because once fleas find a host and a bloodmeal they stick with it.

Yes, you might run into a flea or two with Sentinel but really–that can happen with any flea product. However, I tend to trust Sentinel a little more than topical products because I know that one flea won’t turn into hundreds of eggs and pupae.

No worries Jennifer, I’m still waiting for that first elusive pull-up too but I’m definitely getting closer. Are you using the pull-up bar or the bands? I discovered that my body works a lot differently when I use the pull-up bar and a chair/stool instead of the bands. I started off using bands but dumped them during Phase 3. The only way your body is going to learn how to do a pull-up is if you try to do actual pull-ups. This post might help: http://www.amandakjones.com/my-p90x-experience-days-36-50.php

Doing SOMETHING is always better than NOTHING. The experts say that our body composition is determined 70% by what we eat. So just changing your diet will definitely help. I’m a little confused though–you say you’re not fat–so why do you want to lose weight? The people who seem to benefit the most from P90X are those interested in fat loss–not weight loss. You can try just doing the Cardio X workout and see how that works out. But I think you’d see the most benefits from doing the whole program even if you’re not interested in getting “ripped.”

Okay firstly,

Lets just say I ONLY do the p90x diet, would I be losing weight?
I used to eat terribly, Like pizza and take away, and horrible things!
But now I’m stuck on the p90x diet and I actually love it.

Secondly,

If I do the Cardio x workout more often, and use it in place for other workouts, would this be beneficial in loosing weight?
I am in no way “fat” at all, my only problem is I have a little too much on my stomach area, so would doing a lot of cardio x help?
I understand that if I ONLY did this, I would get into the dreaded plateau, but I’m not so interested on building muscle on my arms/legs.

Thanks in advance!
