Awesome!

Meisje, Thank you so much for sharing! I'm glad that we have the openness here that allows us to understand why we are all here. It seems like we are all here for the right reasons, beyond looking hot in a bikini. M

Good Morning Team! Once again, I love the responses and deep thoughts we have on this board. I know that some might think we have a tendency to get toooo deep here, but I think that the articles and the questions will help motivate you more than just a kick in the booty to get going on those days that you just aren't…

The following is an article written by a friend of mine. Using P90, P90X, tears, sweat, and hard work and dedication, Jim has lost more than 135 pounds in about a year and a half. I have never met anyone so dedicated, and Jim is one of the people who inspired me to really get my butt in gear. If a 6'6" mechanical…

Yep. Share whatever you want. Motivation, recipes, downfalls, weaknesses, etc. I like sharing meals too, as it helps keep everyone accountable.

Not necessary...but we like to :wink: It's just a little something to remind us to go hard everyday with our nutrition, workouts, and being our personal best. Great job on your workout with the elliptical. 5 lbs will be gone in NO time!

Way to Go Georg! Nobody needs that constant flow of junk...even when you are feeling down, all it takes is a comment like that to push you forward again! Taking care of yourself just makes you give off that "glow!":drinker:

Stef_e_b, I think that at some point, we've all had someone in our lives who probably influenced us down a path that wasn' t optimal for our health, our lifestyles, or our goals, but many of us were able to overcome them some way or another. Your dad's obsession with making sure you didn't get fat were his attempts to make…

Alright Team No Excuses, I assume that you have taken care of your physical selves today with your proper nutrition and kick-butt workouts. Now's the time for a final thought of the night. As we all know, obesity and obesity-related health issues like Type II diabetes are on the rise, not only in the United States but…

I think it's easier just to not have the food even remotely available to you. I think discipline starts at the grocery store. Don't go hungry, and you're less likely to reach for unhealthy foods. And if it's not in your house, you can't get up at 12 and sneak some Cheetos:smile: . After you say no for a few weeks, you'll…

I was thinking the exact same thing briblue72. Many people have overcome negative pasts, so we know it can be done.

I just have to chime in here and say that although I know my road wasn't for everyone, it wasn't targeted to hurt anyone. That being said, I wasn't offended at all when she posted her tongue-in-cheek thread mirroring mine, as I realize that it could have helped other people on different paths. I, too, noticed she was gone,…

Bump...for those newbies looking to join in.:smile:

Uh-oh...I'm thinking that ChaLean may be on my birthday list! I'll be stopping by to see how all of you are doing. Chalene was awesome in TurboJam, but I confess I like this new tougher Chalene as well.:wink:

FC, I just have to say, You rock my socks off!:bigsmile: :drinker: Every post is inspirational but REAL, and obviously you have come a very long way in your journey and are making the world a better place.

Sassie, Good sneakers are worth it. We don't want injuries! Go BIG or go HOME is my phrase too! I also have to mention that I saw your post over on another thread, and it was a touching glimpse into your past. I'm glad to see you've reached out and found the tools and support you need to be successful. You are living proof…

Jess, You're a beast! I can only hope I get as fast as you someday. Ab Ripper X, the devil in a DVD just makes me want to :sad: , But in a good way.

Project Me! I like the title. I think we are all on our own projects but giving it a name sure does make it more concrete. I too, weigh myself every morning, even though some disagree with that. It keeps you accountable, and then you're in for no big surprises when the week ends.:smile: I agree, as long as the weekly trend…

Hey Heater, Nothing to hide here! Putting it out there makes you confront it and makes it REAL. You can kiss those old stats goodbye if you stick with us. You might even want to take some good bye pictures of your old self. :happy:

Nice description Mya! :laugh: Kenpo Karate...probably my favorite workout besides Legs and Back X. You can do it! You may not be able to do all the reps, or kick as high or punch as hard, but gradually it gets easier. I myself am no queen of coordination but that is the beauty of working out at home. My dog can only laugh…

Our family puppy can run and run and run too! I like to take her running though, as long as she doesn't make too many stops along the way to mark her territory. :wink:

Well said SassieBritches. We're all here to support, and we're willing to pull if we have to! M

Once again, agree with Dave. Many people have issues/bad relationships with food, but we all have the power to do something about it. The fact that you've identified the trigger, and maybe a reason, will hopefully help you move forward now. Don't let it hold you back any longer! Sorry to hear your mom feels bad about it,…

Neeterskeeter, I feel your pain. I've been bringing it with nutrition, burning 600 cals a day with workouts, and the scale tells me up 1 pound this morning.:sad: However, I don't think I took in enough water yesterday. But we all know the way you feel. I can say this though, and I'm sure you agree. When you know you're…

Well, posted 3 times. Every time I tried to post it said "site down for maintenance." Sorry team!

M

Just an FYI, P90X has some pretty intense cardio days already, but if you think you are at that level, go ahead and do doubles. Just don't get hurt! I'd say, if you're pushing yourself, there are no easy or "light" days. Each day is a challenge, and you should feel pretty spent at the end of each workout, although…

Hey there! First off, I encourage you to go back and read through our previous thread, as you'll pick up some great information about what we've talked about. Feel free to bring it up again though if you are questioning something. Clean eating can be done with a family, and children can learn to like healthy foods, whether…

Editing because it got posted 3 times. M

Simple answer. Yes. It works if you work it. Bring IT with your nutrition and pushing yourself in the workouts everyday and you can't help but get results. I'm sure jessmomof3 will be here to chime in shortly. She's an awesome example of what it can do for you. M
