Definitely increase your caloric intake and add strength training to your routine. The heavier the weights the better!

I didn't read the previous posts but two things... 1. Its common that people don't see a lot of scale movement with insanity especially in the first month and if you're already somewhat fit. The second month really amps it up and you should see some change then. 2. Stop paying attention to the scale and look more at inches…

Definitely! Weights can make you slim and trim without having to starve or become underweight. Plus instead of weight you should be checking your bf% which is what really makes for healthy/attractive body. Since you already realize your feelings of still being overweight are a little unrealistic I'd say you don't need…

All my progress has been home grown. My pics are on my profile. I've done Insanity, 30ds, ri30, and now Chalean Extreme. You toooootally don't need the gym unless you're trying to get into body building competitor mode. I would however suggest resistance bands and dumbbells to supplement at home cardio routines.

I have pretty bad knees so when I did 30ds and ri30 I had to wear braces on both knees. I'm currently doing Chalean Extreme which is 2 days cardio and 3 days heavy lifting. The cardio can be modified to have as much impact as you can take. This is my 2nd month into it I'm now feeling less pain in my knees. I still wear the…

I was at a 3 month plateau until I started using weights. I've seen great results since I started heaving lifting...

Tip: forget the scale and use measuring tap! Support: You look great :-) You are busting your butt to look good and be healthy not for a certain number.

BOOM! lol

People get nauseous for two reasons...1) they are plain ole out of shape 2) they ate too much too soon before working out...Other than that nausea is NOT normal while working out because it means youre going entirely too hard.

Empowered! :-)

Before I lost weight I used to wear two sports bras and was pretty comfortable with it. I used to be on a volleyball team with a girl who wore 5 sports bras at a time! lol She was big girl on top.

1200 cals for 2 hours of any exercise is no where near high enough

Short and sweet. P90x you can start at any level and you will see results. It uses mostly weights and bands. Pullups are also involved but you can do them assisted. Some of the leg moves can be a tad hard on the knees, but knee support braces can help with that. Insanity is a knee murderer and its super intense. It uses…

I just stopped looking at it as an option. Working out is NOT an option for me. I HAVE to do it. When I don't I feel like I'm committing a crime. Its extreme but it works. lol

Definitely you tube!

Me and My boyfriend's favorite pastime is eating lol which is part of the reason I got so big. Once I started counting calories and get really strict on my diet it seemed like it was harder for us to have fun as usual.....But now I lift heavy and I'm not afraid to eat closer to maintenance so I'm super sexy and we both…

I'll take this one personally since my birthday is next week February 5th!!!!! I'm wearing my birthday suit FOR REAL! lol

CHOOOOCOOOOOLAAAAATTTTEEEE......thats about it

I have so many! lol Pootie Tang, Pluto Nash, Dont be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood, I'm Gonna Get you sucka!, and the list goes on....

Big boned is something ignorant people say for lack of better wording. Like when weirdos say "conversate" instead of converse....pay them no attention.

Id say definitely throw in a little extra with the shred. Its a great workout but is really intended for beginner exercisers, so if you're not a beginner you may need more a burn/push.

Far from an expert but people usually say cardio will make you look good with clothes on, and strength training makes you look good naked...in other words cardio is a great way to lose weight, but strength training is the really the only way to shape (sculpt) you body. Some will prefer one over the other but a good…

The only people who see big results from 30 day shred are beginners. If you're already in shape and have lost a considerable amount of weight then 30ds will only serve as good cardio conditioning. Its a great way to build up endurance.

30 day shred is awesome cardio. Sometimes I pop it in after CE.

I'll be 26 on Feb 5th! :-)))) Yaaay for me :-) feel free to add me (with a message of course!) I've got NO pounds to lose but I don't have a lot of FAT! working on re-composition now

Carrying all my fat in my stomach and NONE in my butt or chest :-(

WHAT?! "Get back you flea infested mongrel!" isn't about a dog??? lol Learn something new everyday...

Lifting weights in college made me bulky...really it was all the food I ate while lifting weights....lol

The only bad thing about the thigh gap is that a lot of people don't realize its genetic! Some are made to have thigh gaps and some are not. If you need to get bone thin to see the gap, then you were not supposed to have one in the first place. People set themselves up for failure when they set unrealistic goals.

WHOA! I didnt say anything about them being deflated sacks! lol
