thanks for these

sounds yummy and healthy

Great advice! I would say walking or another activity you enjoy on your own...it may help to find a buddy or do an activity with your partner that feels like more fun. We go for bike rides, play frisbee, enjoy the beach (that you have to hike some to get to) or things like that. I would say if you are comfortable or have a…

This may be more intense than what you are looking for but I have heard good reports about a program called Hip Hop Abs that is fun and dance like without yucky crunches or anything like that. I don't know much- just been hearing that around. Good Luck!

I am getting ready to start the second month of Insanity. I am enjoying it even though it is difficult. As a bit of motivation I measured myself after completing the first month and have lost about 4 inches. Good luck to you!

I love it and would recommend it to supplement your weekly routine... I found it to be an amazing workout that I felt so refreshed after. Make sure you get your bike set up properly and give it your all. It is great! Adaptable to any ability level or even daily energy level....I want to go now!

28 and 4'11- I love when these threads pop up, helps me remember there are so many of "us" :)

I think if one is up for it- give it a shot; as long as you are able to go at your own pace and be careful with your body. My experience- I started home work out videos when I was within a healthy weight to tone up and loose the last 15 or so. I did JM 30DS and Ripped in 30 and found them useful with some results. I am…

Hmmm...I think maybe you could look at it as some kind of compliment. It would be interesting to know if he is able to just opening compliment you on your appearance. My husband and I are very trusting and not really jealous. My husband has never said anything like that to me...men are weird- who knows!

great to know thanks

Really- nothing?

I am so sympathetic! I try to remember how I feel if I do ignore the larger goal and pig out...afterwards- it does NOT feel better; in fact it feels worse as then you are angry with yourself. I would try doing the opposite- when I am feeling that way I go for a walk, job, hit the gym, or something else that I can feel…

so many places to go...thanks!

Yep, for the last decade or so. Add me if you like- I love exchanging and trying new veggie or vegan recipes.

I used to have such a hard time exercising in the am- I wanted to work out but the evenings were soo busy I couldn't fit it in...so I started working out in the morning. It was really hard at first; to help create some reliability I started going to a spin class at my gym. It required that you sign up so that helped me…

I used to have the same problem- I wanted to work out but the evenings were soo busy I couldn't fit it in...so I started working out in the morning. It was really hard at first; to help create some reliability I started going to a spin class at my gym. It required that you sign up so that helped me feel like I needed to…

interesting, sounds good

Thanks to everyone for all of your ideas! I do not log my food as it seems that when I do I sometimes become preoccupied with it; I end up thinking about what to eat and when and blah blah blah...it works much better for me to just listen to my body. That being said, I am a bordem eater! So, if I have had a meal that seems…

That is me!!! I am finishing my first year of law school in the Chicago area. Finals are almost here...dun dun dun I do eat when I shouldn't and don't when I should due to schedule, class, or what have you. PS to previous poster...Also, I spent some time in India a few years ago and found Kerala to be a beautiful part of…

Has anyone considered repeating the first month if it feels like they have a lot to gain still? I feel like I could significantly improve and will be starting month 2 about the same time as final exam prep in grad school. Do you just follow the program? Thanks!

yum

I am vegetarian but do lots of vegan stuff to. Here are a few vegan dishes that are really yummy but often people forget; vegan seems to trigger soy products and lentils and beans... we love making stir fries with different veggies and sauces spaghetti squash zucchini lasagna with soy cheeses etc. quinoa!!!! I love quinoa…

I am about 2.5 weeks in and would live to see some pics! I have lost a few inches here and there so far- feeling good about it!

I am about 2.5 weeks in- Good luck to you all! It is hard but you can do it!

yum!

Thanks- that makes sense to me! I am okay with loosing, I think my BMI is 23-24 so it is fine for me to bring that done a few notches. Good luck to everyone in their Insanity work outs!

Question to all of you Insanity folks...the program recommends that I take in A LOT more calories than I do; and am willing to for that matter. I do just try to eat when I am actually hungry- I think I am eating about 1400 calories per day and am pretty small. What do you do? Do you feel alright with just eating what it…
