I would go with really light weights, and resistance bands if I were you. There is a P90x Lean workout, that concentrates less on the pull-ups/sit-ups and more on the aerobic exercises. It is still tough, but it is much easier on the girls who don't have the upper body strength of guys. The P90x Lean is the same DVD's, just in a different order. You still do all the exercises, just a lesser rate of the mass producing workouts, and more of the cardio/aerobic ones.
Another thing is if you are trying to lose a fairly large amount of weight (I's say anything over 25 pounds) in the 90 days, you need to try and follow the diet. The girls I work out with are constantly frustrated because they don't lose the weight they want. They go hard core and lose the first 10-15 pounds pretty quickly in the first month, but they don't change their eating habits. They end up being in better shape, but they don't see the results they desire (they want to see definition in their arms and abs mostly), because they are drinking mountain dew, eating chips, pizza, McDonalds, etc.
