That is so true, this is why so many run/exercise with their music going. I know I can't stand to walk without it. Good job crushing your workout and weight loss goals.

I did it without shoes as that's what I prefer, and yes I had some issues. I modified as needed and didn't push myself 100%. I did loose 50lbs so maybe check your measurements and take a closer look at your diary.

I'd think that it's caused from too low of calories. When I first started out mfp set my calories ridiculously low, around the 1200 mark. I lasted about a wk at that range as I was definitely feeling "off" and lightheaded. Have you tried a supplemental drink or smoothie to help get your calories? I'd ask to see a…

Everything! Weighing foods equals accountability

I love the progression of the smile! The first row of pics your face is very somber and the smile just keeps growing as you progress :

I wish you well on your journey. Here's to a healthy and happy 2017!

I didn't think to take picture. I honestly never thought I'd loose more than my typical 175, and when I got below that I surprised myself. And only then I regretted not taking pictures to compare to

I say sign up, weigh in and then do your own mfp diary for accountability and give it your all to loose 8% to earn the bonus. As you won't be out anything (sign up fees) then it can't hurt right. No one will b hacking to see HOW you lost the weight, so go for it. And depending on where your weight is and your level of…

So I work at a school kitchen, I'm up at 4:30am but not to exercise! Lol I'm off work by 1:30 and it's not my best motivational time. I've been pushing myself to just exercise even when I don't feel like it. So now I rush home, workout 30+mins at day and then go get my youngest from the sitters. If I get him first he…

Ceiling fans for sure if I'm exercising at home in front of TV with a workout video! Damn small living room doesn't give me much space

Hard to say for sure as I continued to wear my too big pants until they practically fell off! But like others around 10-15lbs to reach a comfortable smaller size

How are you liking 21day fix? I'm on wk 2. I did insanity before but have taken a (long) break. I think this is a good program to ease me back in. Yet I think I need something a little more like Insanity, but not quite as intense.

How do u like the insanity 30? I loved/hated Insanity lol it pushes me but was so intense! I have 21 day fix now which is ok and helping me ease back into exercise, but it's not pushing me near as much as Insanity.

Get back into the groove of exercising and do a Spartan Sprint obstacle course!

Instead of dropping to 1200 cal invest in a kitchen scale and make your diary accurate! Then add in some basic body weight exercises, plank, high knees (marching) jumping Jack's, push ups ect these ypps of exercises helped me so much in losing inches

About how much "extra" salt do u think you eat to stop the spells? This is what my dr said, but it hasn't helped much. As I mentioned before bending over is the only thing I've found to make it stop but nothing so far that prevents it.

This video exactly! Unless you weigh it you can't be accurate.

To me if some one is overweight they have skewed idea what "healthy" is or how much they truly eat. I had been my same weight of my life, I Wrongly assumed that I couldn't be skinny. low and behold when I actually weigh my food the melted off. So if it doesnt, I've come to realize they're not being honest/truthful in their…

Modify, modify, modify! When I started I could barely get thru the "warm up". By the time I finished the program I could almost do the whole thing and keep up :) it's intense but works, so stick with it

I get the same way, but has always been this way my whole life off and on. It gets worse when I'm exercising daily. My dr did an ultrasound of heart, and arteries. Blood pressure was fine, as was sugars. He finally said to eat more salt, which I have but nothing changed. I'm drinking 60+ Oz of water a day. Dr hasn't…

Thanks, I'm trying to recruite others to go as I DO not want to run it by myself. Did you train specifically for their obstacles, say practice throwing a spear of did you just wing it? Also, I'll be doing 21 day fix plus some hiking on weekends. Do you think that's good or do I need to step it up? (Already at goal weight,…

While there are a ton of videos on YouTube I used jillian michaels a lot, but now you have to pay to get the full videos :( I do the best when following a program like Insanity. I'm waiting on 21 day fix to start that. I need "structure" vs me just randomly picking videos.

I'm taller than you, almost 6ft but had similar stats as you. I've gained a little back from my lowest of 143. I have held for 2 yrs now though and super proud of that. I need to reinvigorate my exercise program to tone me out. Way to go on being so diligent.

I can go for a hike with my husband now where before I hated to go because I got winded.

Wow what a difference. Whatever you've been doing keep it up because you look smoking! Lol

Anybody, I'd really like some input

Luckily at home only, I've peed myself a little while doing jumping Jack's! It's the main reason I don't run.

I've done insanity before, tough but pushed myself. I'm waiting on my 21 day fix, it should be here any day!

Haha I've lost a human leg!

For me, yes, I'm a cook at a school and I'm constantly taste testing to get things just right. All those samples add up.
