Hello! I'm in Kansas City, MO and have danced tribal fusion and ATS but haven't danced since November, so I'm in a similar boat as you. I'm attending a hafla tonight in the hopes I'll catch the bug again and get out there despite my recent weight gain. Best wishes on your weight loss quest and happy dancing! Erin

Hi Emme, If you're training for a half-marathon AND doing Insanity, it might be possible you're forcing your body into starvation mode with so few calories. I know it's scary to go over what we're used to, calorie-wise, but 1200-1500 is pretty moderate even for sedentary people. If you're overtraining on no fuel your body…

Hi Susannah! The first time I lost a significant amount of weight (around 50 lbs), I was a huge gym rat. I spent around 90 minutes 5-6 times a day, but I was also in college and had tons of time during the day to pull it off. My diet wasn't super great...the Subway diet was a huge craze at the time, so I followed it, but…

Just started Chalean Extreme and Turbofire hybrid. I was a Beachbody coach until life intervened, so I've tried pretty much all of their offerings, but since I stopped really exercising about two years ago and really packed on the pounds I decided to focus down to just two workouts I know I really like. Just finished my…

Hi, everyone! This is my first post here, but I am (was) a Beachbody veteran. I just got out of a bad relationship, during which I let myself go pretty badly. I'm dusting off Chalean Extreme and TurboFire and I'm ready to get fit again! I'm just about to log into WOWY to do my first hybrid workout, and I"m pretty nervous.…

Hi, everyone. :) I'm Erin, 31, and have between 90-115 lbs. to lose. I have that range because I haven't been below 150 in probably 20 years, so I don't remember what I look or feel like at those weights. I've been overweight my entire life, and a yo-yo dieter for much of my adulthood. My last big loss was 60 lbs. between…

I dumped my boyfriend today, so I'm taking the day off. The good news is I didn't eat crappy food at all. I just didn't have the umph to get up and work out after today, and I have a terrible headache. Will be back at it again tomorrow, and hopefully no more bumps in the road for the next 26 days.

Morning, everyone. We got home from vacation way late last night, so I skipped yesterday and did L1D3 this morning. Will hit the elliptical and Pilates tonight. Hope everyone has a good Monday!

Laurelje, C25K stands for "couch to 5k", which is a running/walking routine designed to get people from a no-running lifestyle to running a 5k in about 10 weeks. For me, the 10 week timeframe is a little intense, because I'm pretty out of shape, so I was thinking of following the workouts, but doing each week twice or…

@busymnmom: I'm in the same boat. The compound strength moves just kill me right now. We'll get there, though. :)

Got L1D2 done! Late, but done! Gonna pop in a 20 min Pilates video and hit the shower before bed. Have a great night, everyone!

You look fantastic, and you're officially my new go-to inspiration thread because we're starting at similar places, and you're pretty much exactly where i want to be in 6-8 months. Congratulations on your awesome change, and thanks for posting. :)

Carriann2012, don't worry...pretty sure I'll be miserable too. Just did L1D1 and my muscles are super worn out even though the soreness hasn't set in yet. We'll be weaklings together until we build our strength up. :)

Hey there! Don't know if this thread's too old, but I'm a tribal bellydancer. :)

FINALLY got to start L1D1 today and OMG! Tired. But good tired. Now that I've been through it once I feel comfortable to really push it for the next nine workouts. Also, are you all mixing it up throughout the 30 days, like D1D2D3D1, etc., or are you sticking with D1 for ten days and so on? Also, are you taking rest days…

Ugh, popped the DVD into the player last night and it didn't play. Will have to exchange them and try again tomorrow or tonight if I get home in time. Bummer.

Hello! Starting Day 1, Level 1...just about to go do the workout right. Super nervous about what to expect, but I'm excited to see results! My plan right now is to get cardio in at the gym 5x each week, plus 30DS at home. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Hello! Just re-started with MFP, and I dance with a bellydance troupe in the KC area. I'm not the greatest at crafts yet, but I'm learning slowly. :) Hope to get to know many of you very soon.
