you're bluffing, he's bluffing, I knew he was *gulp* bluffing

Mawidge. Mawidge is wot bwings us togever tohdahy.... He's MOSTLY dead, there's a difference

Definitely talk to your doc but you should be fine, start walking, build up speed/distance and go slowly. Don't be afraid though. I was 33weeks and hiking up to Manoa Falls and Diamondhead in Hawaii when I hadn't been working out much before getting pregnant and I wanted to try to stay healthy while I was pregnant. Go easy…

Welcome! this place can do wonders if you stick to the plan and make the right choices. I will look forward to following your journey along with everyone else! Tschuss!

Tarah, I have a head cold, started the night before last but I main-lined lemon/whiskey/honey drinks last night combined with tylenol (paracetamol in UK) and I was well enough today to do the workout. I'm streaming though, going through tons of tissues and sneezing as often as breathing it feels like, but I was able to…

I did it!!! Baby went down for a nap and I put the vid on and did it! Albeit my own lower-impact version to what he was doing - I didn't even TRY to keep up that man's speed, good god that would have me passed out and dead before I made it through the workout. But I did the lower-impact version, half speed type stuff and I…

I was so excited about this challenge I forgot that we are out of town next week and it's going to be impossible to keep this up! My mother in law's house is old and I think all my jumping around might pull it down around me but I'm going to be doing this and hopefully not trashing the place while i'm doing it! Life gets…

LOL the above post made me laugh. I don't think there are any side effects. Some pills are supposed to help with the moodiness so I would recommend trying some different types of pills to find one that works better for you.

You should be on poster boards for teen obesity in america. I think what you have done, for YOURSELF at such a young age is amazing. You would be an inspiration to so many teens who are overweight and don't know how to combat it or are afraid they couldn't do it. Your story would give them the hope that they could look…

I try! I am so short I can't usually see it!

Ditto the above! I am excited. Just getting up and DOING this will be a big challenge for me so pleaes please make me accountable! I hate working out at home in my living room. I can't wait to have other people doing this with me to be accountable to me, with me, for me.

I saw the thread on the board and just came straight to the group. I've been thinking of starting insanity for a while and this was the kick in the pants that I needed. Thanks guys!

Do we need to do the fit test as well as the workout tomorrow or skip the fit test or what?

AMAZING!

I did have fun! I stuck to stuff I knew - grilled chicken sandwich (no mayo) and fries (not the best but wth) and I ate the equivalent of one roll (half a roll?) absentmindedly which was a mistake but whatever. I also had a side salad and some of my son's broccoli so that I got my veggies in. It was worth it. Thanks for…

There is a group "vertically challenged" that is for people under 5'3... Check there, I bet there are before /afters there. I have just started. i'm 5' and 148, goal weight is 120 right now (might drop it when I get there) My start weight was 151 and my hightest weight was 164. Long journey ahead of us!

Well done! you have done an amazing job. Thanks for sharing!

Online: DH (dear husband/d!ckhead depending on the subject of the post) in person: My husband or K... for those who know him. Never much liked hubby *I* wouldn't use it but I don't care that other people do.

New Bern!

I apparently have a HRM that I didn't know was in this house. I want to start using it but I have some questions: Can I wear it over my sports bra or does it have to have contact with the skin? Has anyone heard of Puls Tech brand? Any comments? Of course we've been playing with it and now dh has broken the bloody watch!…

Stupid husband belittling my effort GRRRR. i'm trying to log my two mile run (no walking YAY!) outside (YAY!) at night (YAY) and I can't log it at the pace it was. I did 2miles in 22mins so a pretty solid 11min mile which is 5.4 mph. Of course on here, I can only put 5.2 or 5 or 6mph and I was irritated, wanting to get as…

Crunches with the baby! I sit with my knees up, he pushes me backwards, I lift him over my head and sit up all the way to put his feet on the floor. I sit with my legs straight out and sit him on my thighs and jiggle him up and down lifting each knee about a couple inches at a time super fast - works hip flexors…

ARGH!! I'm going out to lunch unexpectedly and I want to do the best I can but the restaurant menu doesn't give nutrition info and the stuff I want to order isn't in the food bank here so I'm going to be inputting it manually later (UGH!) and I know I'm going to have to run for ages to work off this one meal! I have to go…

Welcome and good luck! I'm in the US now but from Manchester originally :)

Good for you for starting this journey! Good luck! There's a board called "vertical challengers" you can join for people under 5'3 if you're interested!

Hi! I can't find what I'm supposed to do to join in the challenges / add my info! I followed the link posted earlier - can I just edit that doc by myself? I am clueless!! 5ft, 148, GW 120... what else? lol

LOL!

Need to go add myself to the challenges but I just wanted to come and comment on those who struggle with water. I used to struggle to get my water in but I got myself a reusable water bottle at Target. The bottle is totally spill proof, has an open hole so it's not a "sports" top you have to suck to get water out, just…

I think it depends how much weight you have to lose overrall and where you lose it from. I know I lost 20lbs and it was a BIG difference but I had only 10-20more pounds to lose to be "perfect weight" so lots of people commented, however, I'm now down 20lbs from before my son and no one has mentioned that (even after I had…

Hi guys! 5'0 (4'11.5 ;) ) and 149 over here, goal of 115-120. Can't wait to achieve this goal with you all!
