I'm 5'11". I started at 230. Before pics was 215, now at 180. Goal: 170 It won't let me add my photo. :/

I met one person on here and met another at a fit club workout, and we are now MFP friends and had a girls night dinner. :)

Thanks Jay for the warm welcome! :) Ladyrae - Have you lost inches? Did you take measurements when you started? If you have gained muscle, you have also burned fat, and you should have lost some inches. Maybe you aren't eating enough?? How much do you have to lose? Dana

Hey Group! This looks like the most active P90X group here. I did a round of P90X last year and lost 22 lbs. I have mixed in other programs and lost a total of 45 lbs. I want to lose 65 total, so I started a new round of P90X on Monday. Day 90 will be 12/31/2011. Gonna lose those last 20 lbs by the end of year. No other…

$3.39 in Austin, TX. I think I'll keep my Corolla for a little while longer.

Oh, and I'm about to do another round of P90X. Stay on the journey! :)

I can vouch for NewAustinite above. She looks awesome! I lost 22 lbs with P90X. I have used a few different beachbody programs. Look at my before and almost-after (where I am now). I was 230 lbs when I started my weight loss journey, and I am now 185. I am 5'11". P90X is not just about 90 days. It's about changing your…

I have to say NO! I am very hippy and curvy, and it is not the most flattering on me. I think if you are thicker through your hips, a wider bottom looks better. Something with at least an inch to help those hips out. Remember, those with hips, don't need help making them look bigger! LOL

Consumer Reports rated Vitamix #1, and Ninja #2. And the Ninja is about $300 less.

There are bad apples in every bunch, whether it be Beachbody or Body by Vi/Visalus or that other one I can't think of! Some people just have no class, and it has nothing to do with which company they represent. I am a Beachbody coach, and if someone wants my help, they will ask for it. I love the workouts, and I like…

If you are okay with the way things are, don't say anything. Let it play it's course. BUT, if you want more, you need to have a conversation with him about it. Because, the one that will get hurt is you, and we don't want that. Looking at it from a guy's perspective....why not continue the FWB relationship.....he's getting…

I am currently in Austin, but lived in CA, and planning to move back there in the next 6 months. Does that count? I love Cali! :) Dana

It is the best program I have ever tried! And I started with P90X! I think for women, it is the best program to get strong and lean. I am on my second round, and I just love it! Chalene keeps you motivated throughout her workouts. I have muscles for the first time ever!

If the bands are comfortable, use them. If not, I would lower weight to what you can make yourself lift with your shoulders to the 10-12 reps. And like Chalene says, you can make yourself work hard even if you don't have a high enough wait. Just squat really slow, and concentrate on making your leg muscles work harder. It…

Chalean Extreme hands down. TurboFire is a great cardio program.

I created my own hybrid, because I didn't like the planned schedule. I just do the 3 CLX workouts with skipped days between, and then I usually do two TurboFire and 1 TurboJam workouts, plus 2 additional days of cardio, which varies. I throw in 1 TJ workout, because TF is still a challenge for me, and I'm still trying to…

It's not super cold in TX right now, but I'll get out and run til about 20 degrees. Below 20 is my cut off point. Layers and protecting the head are so important. And you do warm up quickly. :)

The show is unrealistic. But, it is helping people. I agree with others that it is unhealthy to lose so much, so fast. If you watched the show last night, you can see that most of the contestants regained 20-30 lbs, which is still a healthy weight to be. And these are the same contestants that are competing in triathlons…

Adding to my topics. Thanks!

Would paypal have solved this problem? What kind of fees do they charge since you are in Canada? I'm sorry you had to deal with that, but yeah, hard to do the Cleanse for a day and a half. I would do one a day. I'm sorry you have not heard back from your coach. :/ It is still a good product, and hopefully things will be…

The plain greek yogurt tastes kinda like sour cream. I am working up to plain Fage, but for now I love the Oikos Vanilla or Blueberry.

I don't know what you have been through, but my dad is my life ( and I don't know what I'd do without him), so I can only imagine how each day is for you. Please know that the people here are wonderful and here to support you. I'm sure your dad would want you to be happy and take care of yourself. It is time to put…

Hi Greg, The lifestyle change you want to make will not happen overnight, but you can do it! Choose to eat foods that will make your body feel better, food for fuel as they say. Good Luck! You can do it! Dana

I buy a pound of ground turkey, add lemon pepper and split into 4 patties. Freeze all and remove one at a time to thaw, and cook on my Foreman grill.

Orowheat Sandwich Thins are awesome! I use them for my sandwiches, turkey burgers, AND even to make little turkey pepperoni pizzas!

Have y'all heard of Shakeology? For what you spend everyday at Starbuck's, you can get something very similar that is WAY better for you. Dana

I eat both. I by the leanest that I can, 96% lean beef and 99% lean turkey. With the ground turkey, I add lemon pepper to make my turkey burgers! It is delicious! I would really try to find the leanest meets possible.

If you order salad, bring your own dressing. Newman's Own Lite Lime Vinaigerette would complement a Mexican-style salad well. Stay away from the beans and rice, or if you must, black beans. No flour tortillas!

Well, all this info is frustrating! I guess the bottom line is don't eat sweets, or make sure you are getting something in its most natural form.

Hi Bethany! You definitely want to have a grasp of the diet before you start. You can modify all the moves. And like Tony says, "Do your best, and forget the rest!" I am on Phase 3, and lost 18 lbs my first 2 phases. I add cardio a few days a week in addition to my X workouts. Good Luck!
