  • Nope. You can't choose how your weight loss is distributed. Though, generally, it seems that the face is the first area where most people notice you've lost weight. I don't know how correct or credible it is, but I have often heard that women lose weight from the head down (it seems to have been true for me, but everyone…
  • "This "you've got toxins making you fat!" thing is bulls*it, right? " To put it simply: yep.
  • I haven't done the McDonald's Monopoly game is years...but I know what you mean. I used to love playing it, even if I didn't want the food. You could always just get a drink or something? Unless they don't put the pieces on there, I don't remember the rules. Anyway, McDonald's isn't the type of fast food that temps…
  • I don't really miss anything. I will still allow myself to have things like homemade chocolate chip cookies (is there anything better?) or homemade french fries, but I have completely cut some things out like doughnuts, fast food, or sugary cereals. When I think about it though, I don't really miss those things. Sometimes…
  • I've been doing 30 Day Shred for years, but never actually did the program how it was intended. I'd love to hear the kinds of results you get!
  • Shaun T would destroy Horton. Horton would be too busy trying to be a comedian since he got another chance to be in front of people. I can't stand Tony Horton, lol. He is a creeper and he talks way too much.
  • I agree with every single one of these, and got a good laugh! Hah! Thanks :)
  • I am in the same situation! I just finished Insanity and the spare tire is STILL there!!! I've been at this for years and I am still trying to get rid of it.
  • 1. Girls that dress up in a the perfect matching gym outfit, with their hair and makeup done...and then walk the treadmill at a crawling pace. 2. People that are drinking sugary flavored drinks instead of water. Really?! 3. Men that are lifting weights that are clearly too heavy for them, and then slam the weights down and…
  • Starting my second round on Monday!!! (Which is the 1st, wooo! Perfect!) This round I am going to be doing some resistance training in addition to the Insanity videos...especially in month 1! They are great workouts, but I just didn't get what I needed and I don't feel right not doing any strength training. I am hoping to…
  • I think the only recurring theme with people who are eating 1200 or less is that they are all very tiny (short) people. I am very tall so my body would definitely go into starvation mode if I ate 1200. Based on my own experiences, I feel faint if I eat anything below 1400. It is science whether people like it or not, but…
  • Yes, exactly! Science, people!
  • 1200 calories is often that number that most women should never go below unless you are being monitored by a medical professional. From what I know, anything under 1200 calories puts your body into starvation mode, which will hold on to fat and metabolize muscle instead. Your body uses glycogen first (short term energy…
  • Hello! I am new here as well...Feel free to add me! :)
  • Hmm, I am not entirely sure. As you lose weight, you naturally use muscle along with it, that is why it is so important to do strength training along with cardio. I would think that you would need to have more calories to help maintain muscles and an increased metabolism while you are working out. I would be interested to…
  • First off, this really has nothing to do with hair and getting ready in the morning. I was simply proposing a scenario where someone would be forced to go quicker, which are things that can be adopted to an every day schedule. This post is about making time to exercise, and if you can get ready quicker, you can find more…
  • Every suggestion has been met with another reason why it can't be done. I'm over sugar coating things like this for people. I'm not criticizing how you do your hair, but I just know things can be made easier for yourself if you want to make the time. I offered to show you simple and quick up-dos but you didn't even address…
  • That's too bad. I'm sure shes really screwed when she wakes up late* and has to rush. I'm sure she really goes all out when that happens. Or does she find a way to go a little quicker? Knock it off people, you KNOW what you need to do if you want to make time for things. Just do it!!!
  • I know how long that takes. It takes me about 30 minutes. Any my hair is long, so don't try that one on me. Maybe you could throw your hair up in some quick and easy up-dos on days you work out. I'll even find a link to some that I use all the time and they take about 3 minutes to complete if you really want. I'm really…
  • Looks like you have time between waking up your oldest son and packing lunches. Get 20 minutes of exercise when you wake up at 5, then get ready for work and get your son an alarm clock. The time thing is always an excuse. I'm not saying this to be mean, but I've seen people do this so many times and then talk about their…
