I am a married 32 yr old female with 2 children ages 13 and 2.5 After my second child, marriage, and stress I have seriously put on the pounds and 2 years later I weigh more than I did when I was 9 months pregnant with my second child.
I was a very active single women a few years ago but....life maybe has slowed down and so has my metabolism.
So here I am!
I am just starting the INSANITY CHALLENGE and whew, I'm starting to feel that burst of energy returning again!!
I noticed that the workouts aren't on here or any of the moves, so I'm guess for now I'm burning about 500 calories a workout, maybe some days a little more, so my exercises are only averages.
I love food, chocolate, cake, cookies, pasta, porch chops...oh yeah, always have, just now, its staying inside attaching itself to my hips, thighs, arms, chin...and everywhere it can
So I have to make a change, and its now, because if I wait too much longer I think I'll melt into a couch potato status!
I went to the lake this early summer, had a one piece, I know im a little overweight, but when that suit (for some reason) melted (the elastic) I had to switch to the 2 piece from last year...I thought, okay Im a little overweight, its okay, Im not trying to impress anyone...HA
My best friend took a picture of me and posted it on facebook, I was like a white elephant in the lake, and I never felt that way until I saw myself. From the back there were rolls of fat, dimples in places that dont smile, and some new stretch marks not brought by my lovely son. I was hideous, and was so ashamed I reported her pictures to facebook to remove them for being offending. She took them down but...thats when I realized I have to do something.
So here I am!

Hi!!
I'm new to this website also. I noticed that you are starting the Insanity challenge?? I have seen that on t.v. and whatnot and a friend of mine has done it too and says she really feels a difference.
I am thinking about doing it and could use some tips! Thanks!0 -

I can make it through about 32 minutes, my own slow pace before I really cant do much more for I fear I might have a heart attack!! But, I just slow down breathe and walk in place or jog in place till I can follow again. Sometimes its 5 minutes of calming down before I realize that I need to keep going. Fight yourself, thats the key!! Keep it in your mind what you look like when you look in the mirror or...have your friend take a pic of you in a 2 piece swimsuit and tape it to the TV!!! Works for me!
See I am also trying to battle with quitting smoking, so this breathing is seriously killing my lungs, but I just keep on knowing that real people have gotten real results on this program.
I hope that helps!!
"Dig Deeper" LOL
