Why did they cut your incision that way? I have had two sections the normal way and I do vigorous workouts. I think some of it is genetics, but my stomach never gets where I want it to go. Looks good when I lay flat on my back. But, sags as I stand. Loose skin mostly. It also sags when I do planks or push ups. I did do…

Two workouts left of month one. Third time thru this in as many years. I turn 45 in April. This year I am feeling my age but pushing thru! Some days it feels like I have fifty pound weights strapped to each thigh trying to do the high knees and mountain climbers. But, I do the best I can. Freaking out a little thinking…

Third time through Insanity in three years. Started week 3 today. Got through the warm up without a break - first time this year. Did plyo-cardio circuit. The last set of ski abs and in and outs about kill me. Haven't made it through a full set of those yet. But, abs are getting tight and having more definition!! Nothing…

Just finished my last workout of week two - Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs…It was nuts!! Hated every second, but got through it and am so glad I did. Keep pushing!!!

Here are some breakfast options, grocery list and tips from my blog. Will add lunch option tomorrow. It is NOT expensive. This is what I feed my kids, but also eat for myself. The blog was directed at what to feed kids for breakfast other than cereal: Egg McMuffen: 1/4 cup Egg Beater, 2 slices of turkey bacon, 1 slice…

Also..don't forget to drink LOTS Of water. I try to drink 32 ounces right when I get up. As I'm getting ready, I have a 32 ounce bottle that I pull out of my fridge. Has a straw on it so it seems to go fast. Then space out another 32 ounces throughout the day. I find if I drink early, I make better food choices…and, I'm…

Money is not my issue with a gym membership - but getting there was due to my busy schedule. I had a gym membership nearly my whole adult life, but didn't go as much as I would have liked due to schedule. Three years ago, I quit my membership I started buying DVD's and began working out at home. Jillian Michaels DVD 30 Day…

I (we) are using the Inanity guide for meal plans. There are some on there we don't like…but, some great choices too. Just started a blog. Feel free to check it out. Listed some food choices, but will be adding recipes soon. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Toenges1

I would LOVE to join as well. This is my 3rd round of Insanity in 3 years. I do Shaun T's thirty minute workout to maintain (T30) and mix it in with some of the month one Insanity discs. The hardest disc in the group is Pure Cardio and Cardio abs which starts week 2. That is the one where he says on the video, "This…

I hit my goal weight 3 years ago by following a special diet that only allowed moderate exercise due to the calorie count. But, once I went into maintenance, I started Insanity. I was 43 years old and by the end of the two months, I was in the best shape I had been in since I was in high school (maybe better). My husband…

End of Week 1 and down 3 pounds!! Did not start to lose weight, rather just waned to tone up..but, I'll take it!! Leaving for a work trip next week - probaby can't do Insanity on that trip, but will try to hit the hotel gym a few times. I hate trips like this because they have you up at 7...only a few breaks during the day…

My husband has been 5"11 and fluctuating between 185-195 for the last 10 years. Not fat, but not cut either. I was pretty happy with his body. Then last year I lost a ton of weight and he started exercising to keep up with me. Right now he is about half way through Insanity with Shawn T. Now he is close to 180 and cut. I…

May I join? My husband is not on MFP but he has been doing Insanity since January 1. I have before pictures and will take his after at the end of February. He is down 14 pounds and has not looked like this since college. He was 5'11 and 194 when he started and now he is just under 180. He looks fab and wants to go down 5…

You look awesome!!! Congratulations!

Feel free to friend me as well. I was 184 pounds this time last year. I am now maintaining at 140 pounds. It is hard, but anything that worth it is hard!

Also, just a thought, belly fat is typically where your body stores extra fat from carbs. I would really watch your carbs as you diet. No need to do Atkins or South Beach, but try limiting them and see if that helps. Stay away from high processed foods, limit your root and high starch vegetables (yes carrots, potatoes and…

Thanks so much!!

This recipe was AMAZING!! Tasted like I ate from some fancy Italian restaurant. Husband loved it. We had a friend over and she asked me for the recipe today. So quick and easy. Sooooo nummy! This will be on our menu a LOT. Thank you!

:flowerforyou: You are inspirational!! Way to go and thanks for the food tips!

I completely agree with the above. I am 42 years old and my arms have never looked so good..I've been a gym rat and still never got these results. Now I am doing the Ripped in 30 (also Jillian)..I would say Ripped in 30 is a little bit tougher than 30 Day Shred, but I think she is also going for variety. If you do the same…

Ohh..this is one I could really get into - because my kids will eat it! THANKS!

If you don't like black coffee and don't want the full 100 calories, could you do a coffee with 2 Tbsp of half and half and a splenda (or use the powdered cinnamen and other flavors that they have ont he creamer bar). Although half and half is not your lowest calorie option - drinking 2 Tbsp with black coffee is a nice…
