The only part of BeachBody that I have used is insanity for Xbox. It really works but it is expensive for the DVDs. My friend did the 21 day fix and it worked great for her. I don't think the shakes are worth the money that you have to dish out. Something like $120 per month. My brother did the p90X and that is working…

I just completed my first month of strong lifts this morning. I changed a few things though. Instead of using the bar to do the overhead press and the rows, I use dumbells. It was better for me that way. I was doing another program before that and they used the dumbells so I just continued with that. But you should…

I am happy for you that you've made this choice. Good luck on your journey.

Good luck! you can do this!

I think you're doing great. Get a food scale, you have no idea how much that helps. It makes a huge difference. Try not to be too low on calories, I had mine at 1,000 and that was way too low. I'm at 1,200 now and I eat back all of my exercise calorie burns. Also, don't over estimate calories burned during exercise.

Fantastic!

I drink 1 cup of skim milk mixed with lots of ice and 1 scoop of GNC Pro Performance AMP Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60- Vanilla. I struggle to meet my protein goals and that is 20 grams per scoop and helps me hit my goals everyday. If I could, I would rather try to meet my goals through food but this is where I am right…

Just buy wide calf boots! Most of the name brands make them and they're the same style as the regular boots. I recently found this out and bought three pairs this winter.

@slideaway1‌ yeah Insanity is super hard but I love the way it makes me feel. I work so hard during the entire workout. But since I've added the strength training, I find that I look forward to that more than the insanity.

@shoulilveshappy yes I do because I want to make sure I am not going crazy on the calories and under on the protein and fiber @slideaway1‌ My routine is insanity-lift-insanity-lift-Rest and repeat. So basically four days on four days off, about three days of lifting a week. Does that sound about right? I'm really just…

Incredible...just wow!

When I first started, I drank Slim Fast for two meals for about two weeks. I was eating so much prior to this that I just wanted to get use to not eating so much. Eventually I went down to just one Slim Fast meal a day and two healthy meals. Now I drink it once in a while. I don't knock Slim Fast because it did help me.…

Fantastic! You look Amazing!

Thanks for all the info! I have a lot of research to do!

@Sandra_Curtis‌ Wonderful! You look great!

@Silverqueen Congrats! And you're beautiful

LOL @jacksonpt I get it though. Which is, in essence, what I really wanted anyway.

@Azdak‌ So if a person was running three miles at 4mph and was able, over time, to increase their speed to 5mph, but still only ran three miles; wouldn't they be burning more calories? Because I am doing the same workout routines but I am able to do more reps of each activity and able to continue through without taking…

Very Interesting...I had no idea. So I am right, I am working harder but it is just not showing that I am.

So basically, its better to under estimate than over estimate. My HRM shows the least amount of calories burned so I guess I'll use that instead of what MFP or the online calculators say. And from what I gather, there really is no great way to calculate calories burned?

@May_Rose‌ I wish I could copy and paste your arms onto my body!

@hill8570‌ Nope its just a basic monitor. It shows me what I am burning as I am progressing. I am assuming that Insanity is considered Calisthenics, is that right? Because when I put it into the MFP exercise calculator, it gives me a way higher calorie burn. I just feel like I'm putting in more work and getting less of a…

@brianpperkins‌ so I shouldn't use my heart rate monitor as a calorie counter when I do insanity? What should I use?

Fantastic! Good job!

Congratulations on your weight loss! Keep it up! What is the challenge? Is it to see who can lose the most weight between you two?

You can definitely reach your goal Angela. Keep up with tracking and you'll succeed. Good Luck!

@jenncornelsen‌ I had to google search it, I was wondering as well 1 Stone = 14 Pounds

Wow, it must be trending! My two year old has been waking up at least once, up to four times per night. It is so hard for me because I work out at 5:15am. (My husband is smart, he puts in his earplugs from the shooting range before he goes to bed, he doesn't hear anything) Last week when she woke up four times I just…
