I am a dialysis technician. and Im in school to become an RN. I've never tried the Insanity workout but I have seen the commercials. THey Look Intense!! im sure you will do well. Im actually just starting to bucke down and get serious about losing this weight. Its one thing to know and say it and its another to actually get commited. currently I take water aerobics twice a week, mondays and wednesdays. I try to walk each of the other days and play the dance party on the wii with my children. Im excited and determined to get this weight off of me because I am completely unsatisfied with my overall weight, shape, and health.

I too am doing high intensity training. I am on day 19 of insanity and love the program. I am a little nervous for month 2 which starts on April 22nd for me. I will do my best and dig deep. I also participate in Tae Kwon Do three nights a week. I love both insanity and Tae Kwon Do and plan to continue with both on my journey. I am a heatlh professional and a mom of three children. I do find it difficult to get me time, but I am figuring it all out as I go. My nutrition sometimes could use improvement and I will work on that aspect as well. I am open to ideas, suggestions and options. Lets focus on us and improve our overall health.

I am a 24 year old medical student who will graduate with my MD degree in May 2013. My goal is to lose the weight that I have put in through college and medical school. I hope to get down to 105-115, depending on how I feel when I get down to the 115 mark. At my last weigh-in I was around 132. My routine typically consists of monitoring what I eat very closely and monitoring the calories that I consume in relation to how many calories I have burned/plan to burn that day. My caloric intake goal is 1200, but it is rare that I reach that. My exercise goal is 6 days per week, losing 2 lbs per week. But, right now given my hectic schedule, I only work out 3-4 days per week, give or take. I’m hoping to exercise 6 days this week for the first time. I plan to take Sundays off. Let’s hope those plans work! One of the biggest goals that I have coming up is to be at 115 by my 25th birthday on July 6, 2012. Once I reach that mark will determine whether my gears will shift to maintaining or continue to lose.

This is not the first time I have embarked on this healthy lifestyle journey, but it is the first time I’ve actually actively participated in myfitnesspal, by not only logging my meals and exercise, but adding friends, participating in forums, and joining groups. It has been really helpful, and I hope that with this support I can make the changes that I need to make this new lifestyle hold for the rest of my life.

so true! im glad you created this forum for those in the same profession to relate to and to give support to. when im feeling down and unmotivated i log on to MFP. this really helps. Im just having a hard time sticking to my fitness schedule as well as managing my fiance and kids schedule.

Hi! Thanks for the kind words! I will be going into Internal Medicine and most likely subspecializing after that in Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

Well, I'm not quite doing the high intensity training like Insanity or P90X, but I do run and love to Zumba and Tae Bo. I like the fast paced work outs. I am a LPN and work full time, as well as a mom to 2 kids. I really just started in January making time for myself to work out. I'm glad I have because it has become a routine or habit and love to work out now!

Hey there! I'm also a 24 year old med student but I won't be graduating until 2015. Trying to keep up the healthy habits now before my schedule gets more hectic in my 3rd and 4th year. Currently just trying to get out of the habits of sitting around and studying all day - since I've been learning so much about the effects of being sedentary. If I don't make good habits now, they probably won't stick around while I do have longer hours. I try to jog in the city 2-3 days a week now that the weather is getting nicer. It's nice to meet you all!
