    I hav a new non scale goal too. :) I would like to jog for 60 mins without stopping. I can jog for 40 mins straight no prob but the last 20 mins I have to stop every 5 mins and walk it out for 30 seconds then start again. Anyone have any advice on how I can do this? Thanks guys you are the best!

    weight loss has not been moving at the rate I would want it to but it is atleast moving in the right direction. on a positive note, first week of Insanity is over, 2nd week just started. the exercise is quite intense but am glad I survived the first week. it makes me drink a lot of water . I can drink about 12 8oz of water within 30-45mins workout alone

    Great job guys! I've eaten nothing but sodium thanks to what the bank has brought in so I'm not going to even try to weigh today. I will this weekend regardless.

    Denise, thank you so much for the chart. You are so kind to do this and keep track for all of us. I just really wanted you to know how much I appreciate it.

    I am so frustrated. I keep gaining. I eat clean and I exesize every day. Last year when I joined I was burning over 6000 calories per week in exersize and not really eatng them back. In August I started to exersize less and eat back some of the calories and since then I have regained 14 of the pounds I lost. I just can't seem to lose with out have a huge deficit or a really low net. Now that I work I can't do all the exersize and the scale just keeps edging up. I will lose a couple and then gain a few, lose a couple and gain a few each week i just want to scream aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Getting nervous for the weigh in tomorrow!!! Where I have been sick I haven't been eating enough calories. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get more cals in when my tummy doesn't want them?

    This week was horrible for me, I guess that I thought I was doing so good that I could slack. I ate so bad this week, I'm suprised that I didn't gain. I just have to get back on track, I'm so close to my goal weigh. Also I went shopping last weekend and bought all new jeans, then got rid of all my old ones, so I can't gain too much or I won't have anything to wear.

    I ate bad this week, so I'm happy with it. It just seems like anymore I either eat bad or I don't eat at all, and so I really hope I can find a balance between the two.

    Sorry! No change for me this week. I didn't hit my goal on 2\25 and then I don't budge an ounce a week later. It irritates me just to think about it.

    We are taking a mini vacation this week end. Worried about that. I can cook 2 meals but not the others. Any ideas on what I can do??? Then I am going to step it up the rest of the week. I will be adding more cardio, 30 more mins each day. Maybe that will help. lol Any good ideas for cardio?
