I completed the program last summer and had good results. The triangle like upper body and noticeably different size all around. Cut legs and a fairly cut midsection. I didn't follow the diet all that much and I certainly drank 4 out of 7 nights a week so I didn't get the
"best, most ripped, abdominal area they've had in their lives" (Tony Horton on Ab Ripper X).
I believe that the program is geared towards those who are in a fairly athletic shape. Its designed to cut off all of the excess body fat and leave you with skin and muscle. I do have friends that were overweight who did a P180x (a non stop cycle of P90x) and they have slimmed down substantially.
It takes dedication and motivation. Don't skip a day or else you'll want to skip more. Yoga was probably my favorite workout (aside from chest/shoulders/triceps) and it was great. Its a long routine but I sweat buckets when I do the yoga routine correctly.
Since last summer I've put on 10ish pounds, but my new idea for my body is - as long as my chest is bigger than my gut, I really don't care. Plus the "V" shape at the bottom of the abdominals is sexy to look at.
The program also can make you a bit of a narcissist.
