Been doing, er, "shortened" versions of the P90X since Monday. Shortened because I typically last half an hour before collapsing 
The first day was "chest and back" exercises, and by 30 minutes in my upper body was shaking like a drug addict in need of a fix. Yesterday I did 2/3 of the Cardio X video; stopped halfway through the Plyometrics workout, which was a good choice as my legs are sore this morning (Cardio X + 2 1/2 hours of working yesterday is wiping me out).
Hopefully I can keep going with it... we'll see. I usually manage one week and fall apart on week two. Best I've ever done is a month. And I'm going to have company over from Friday through Sunday, so... we'll see how it goes

You won't see any progress with an attitude like that.
Currently I'm trying to lose weight, not bulk up
With an ~1800 calorie diet, walking several miles a day, and doing a good 30 minutes of intense workouts, I expect to see the pounds drop fairly quickly. I'm winning that biggest loser competition, dammit!
