This is such an amazing and motivating topic!

I'm 4'11 - closer to 4'10 :) I'm trying to lose the last few pounds and definitely some inches Feel free to add me :)

I started yesterday, and I'm loving it!

story of my life! my father probably single handed keeps little debbie/hostess in business, and the man is in great shape. the temptation is a huge pain in the *kitten*

I'm starting Monday the 25th and I can't wait. I would absolutely love to have people who are going through this with me to help encourage me to keep going. feel free to add me :)

Hey everyone, I'm Christina and I'm 22. I'm starting Insanity on Monday 6/25 and I'm soo excited. I've been watching the infomercials for about 2 years now and finally decided to just go out and buy it. I can't want to start :)

uuuh here we go: I lost about 10lbs then fell off the wagon. I'm starting Insanity on Monday and I'm excited to continue to reach my goals. As for the worries about stretch marks, I have miles of them, but I've decided to look at them as battle scars. They tell the story of where I was and help me remember how far I've…

I'm not really getting what I wanted out of the Body Revolution, so I just purchased Insanity. I'm excited to start that.

Are you taking measurements? I'm on week 2 of phase 2 and I have really only lost a total of 2lbs (I'm smaller though) but I've lost about 14inches around my body. Also look at the food you are eating and make sure you cut out processed foods. Try drinking a lot more water and maybe watch your sodium.

Yeah, I need to keep better track of my TDEE and do the math to make sure I am on my goal

That is so me! I started at 125 and lost those first 10lbs in 3 months no problem and now I'm struggling. I'm definitely going to increase my calories to probably around 1350-1400calories. I'm definitely going to add you. I love a lot of my MFP friends, but they all have larger amounts to lose so it's nice to have someone…

So I changed it from the 1lb which is "recommended" to the 1/2lb and it said 1350calories. How much do you think is best to eat back? That's where I get confused. I'm heard to eat back enought to make sure you're at least eating your BMR in order to not enter into starvation mode. Also I'm not exactly sure what my BMR is.…

I'm assuming that I need to eat more, but I don't know how much to increase my calories. I don't want to gain weight obviously. Also I don't think it's water weight because I do consume a larger amount of water a day, but then again I don't know.

It could be a hormonal change that resulted from a change in your thyroid medication, or something like PCOS. If your TOM has always been "regular" than I recommend calling the RN at your OB/GYN's office and asking her. She will have the best recommendations on how to handle the situation.

My absolute favorite is No More Trouble Zones

I have a 15lb kettlebell, I use the Jillian Michaels "Shred it with Weights" DVD with it.

are you taking yoga and pilates classes or doing a DVD at home?

I work at a gym and I workout there a lot and I get so excited when I see bigger women working hard. I get tempted to talk to them and try to help them and give them tips that helped me. I was never huge, but that doesn't mean I never felt self conscious or uncomfortable like them. I feel like since I've had some success…

is anyone planning anything like this for may? I'm definitely interested in joining it

I emailed customer service yesterday about it and I got a response today. The email they sent me said that they received a supply of the original resistance cords and that the replacements will be shipped today and they should be delivered in the next 7 to 10 days. WooHoo!

I heard that Ripped is crazy intense. I'm doing her Body Revolution but I absolutely love the No More Trouble Zones DVD. I would probably to Ripped and NMTZ together

feel free to add me. I'm on here every day :)

I live off of fitness DVDs... I'm especially fond of anything Jillian Michaels, particularly No More Trouble Zones and the 30 Day Shred. I'm currently 44 days into her 90 day Body Revolution.

I have the green cable and I HATE it. I'm definitely going to call or email to complain...

Thank you so much for posting this. It's so hard for me to keep going with all the ups and downs I've been having lately with my weight loss.

I'm trying to lose the last 10, and I'm severely struggling. Adding you as a friend :) Hopefully we can encourage one another to keep working

I'm in a similar situation. I just started week 7 today. Basically throughout the 6 weeks I've only lost a total of 2lbs (I started at 117 and I'm back to 115). I was down to 113.5 and now I'm back up 1.5lbs this week. While the scale is not currently my friend I have lost about 18inches total. I'm getting stronger and my…

Thank you for your input :)

I don't usually eat back my calories burned, and I don't rely on MFP for it, I have a HRM. I've been really working towards my goals for 3 months and I've lost 11lbs. I do know that at my current weight it is a lot harder for me to lose the additional weight. I don't think it's my workouts, I switch them up every 2 weeks…
