Thank you :)

Aloha, If you would like to look at my diary, feel fell to add me :)

Thanks everyone, I was really really stubborn about eating for a long time. I thought I was exercising enough that I could be lazy with eating healthy. But once I started changing my diet is when I really saw a difference :)

I did Insanity, and T25 is very different. I am comfortable recommending T25 to beginners and advanced exercisers, there are modifications.

Yes, it is available now :)

Yes, I'm a BB coach and I purchased it at Summit. It is shipping out now though.

I did it this evening! LOVE it!!! It has progressions, Tanya modifies the moves, it has HIIT training, power and agility. The recipe guide is awesome too, simple meals to make things easier!

10 :) nice!

When I do INSANITY pure cardio I SWEAT my *kitten* off :)

Flirty and loves to run :)

TUX! :D

I have the word, δύναμη [thinami], strength in greek, tattooed on the upper left side of my rid cage because my mother passed away from and unknown type of cancer when I was younger and her strength through everything inspired me to life my life to the fullest and pay my happiness forward by helping others reach their…

Awesome!!! Love this thread! I love reading blogs and connecting with other bloggers :D My blog is fairly new and I am documenting my fitness journey, posting healthy tips, recipes and adding a little bit about my cat (because he is cool). Here it is: www.learntosharecookies.com

Aloha sforsma311! Welcome to the MFP community :) I read your post and I would love to be friends! First of all, since you work at Arby's and now Subway, you are going to end up eating there once in a while even if you bring healthy food from home most of the time. Because of this, it is important to have some go to…

It may be a restriction in the beginning, but once a person adapts to a new way of eating, a person will no longer want to eat certain foods :)

In my experience with fitness and nutrition clients, cheat days do not work well. If you are trying to improve your health and lose weight through diet and exercise there is really no need for a cheat day. Everyday should be a balance of healthy food and exercise. It is also perfectly fine to splurge once in a while! It is…

It's only 9:20pm in Hawaii :)

10! Confident smile and pose!

It is only going to work if you stop thinking of it as "dieting and working out" and start thinking of it as "I am going to change my life and start adding positive changes to my diet and exercise routines." Losing weight and keeping it off is not a start and stop matter, you need to make a decision to change your life.…

My suggestion would be to add some strength training, simple body weight stuff (you can find great videos online for free). This is going to increase your lease muscle mass and hep your body burn more calories because the more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn. If you begin to add some strength training about 2-3…

Just to be clear, because I think some people have not seen the nutrition profile on a Shakeology bag, Shakeology is not a protein shake (if that is what yo are looking for, buy something else...) and it is not made with supplements (you can get supplements in pill form for way less $$$...if that is what you are going…

Chocolate Vegan Shakeology :)

YES! DIET COKE is bad for you. Avoid any type of soda at al cost! DRINK WATER :D

It only causes issues if rapidly increase your fiber intake or if you are not drinking enough water. If you are getting your fiber from whole foods and not supplements, getting >40g should be ok. A good rule is to never over do it on one particular nutrient, balance and moderation are a part of a healthy diet :)

Proteins, Carbs and Fats are macro nutrients :)

Biggest myth out there! Muscle burns fat :) Tell your co worker I have a female friend who lost 180lbs. using Les Mills Pump (which is all weights, very little cardio)!!! Sorry women, you will not get bulky by lifting weights ;)

Les Mills Pump :)

Aloha! I avoid chemicals in all my personal products. This blog has some great ideas for natural personal care products: www.crunchybetty.com!!! I personally cleanse my face with essential oils and a nutmeg milk scrub (all from the blog I mentioned). As far as finding healthier personal products, Whole Foods has a great…
