Fantastic. You look absolutely wonderful! Good job!

Yep--- my knees were killing me by the end of Insanity even while maintaining good form and landing softly. I finished Insanity, but rather than starting it over I transitioned to a hybrid program of P90x and Insanity to give my knees a bit of a break. The hybrid is working well for me...

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that finds posts related to this frustrating... I've noticed that I come to this website less and less because it seems more often than not, the posts are primarily comprised of "does this ridiculous product/ trick/ rumor work" or something like, "waaa, I just ate crappy food". It's…

X2... Yep, what she said.

Sorry you're feeling bad... Empower yourself and you'll feel better. Step 1: Grab bag of chips Step 2: Dump said bag of chips in the sink Step 3: Turn on water and shove them down the garbage disposal Step 4 (this is the most important one): DON'T BUY STUFF LIKE THAT so that you don't have the temptation around. Your body…

Sliced green apples and peanut butter (natural, not that sugar-laden crap) delicious and very filling!

To each their own. :laugh: Best of luck to you. When you gain all of the weight you lose back, there is a plethora of information on this website about fitness programs and healthy eating regimens that will help you make a change in your body that will last longer than an extreme caloric reduction.

Holy punctuation, batman... :noway: I'd like to point out that she came on here and asked for input. She has received a broad spectrum of responses and she has the ability to decide what information she will take into account when making her decision. If you're going to ask for input in a public forum you should already be…

If I were you, I'd be embarrassed that you came to a forum called "MyFITNESSPal" and asked a question about everyone's thoughts on starving yourself. There are forums out there for this type of behavior, Google "Anorexia" and you'll find plenty. Best of luck to you in your goal. When you want to embark on a journey to…

Uh, I'm confused... Why would you be moving onto the Month 2 dvds after only 10 days?

So, is everyone hanging in still or has the lack of activity on this thread signaled that people have quit? NOT ME, I'M KICKING BUTT!!! So, are you guys still giving it your all?

Don't waste your money. Try some hard work, sweat and a healthy diet and you'll get better results than some gimmick.

I used to drink Crystal Light until I figured out that it eats through styrofoam. I kid you not. My office has these huge styrofoam cups that I used to put Crystal Light in until I noticed that it was "sweating" and leaking the pink colored Crystal Light out of the bottom. Imagine what that does to your body..... Water…

I'm on my first week of month 2 also. Like you, I find it a bit frustrating to be struggling again like I was at the beginning, however last night I caught myself (during the side pushups) thinking, "wow, I can't wait until I'm really good at this like I was with the month 1 exercises". I guess the progress I saw from…

I can do full pushups, all the way down to my chest, but I can't do them as fast as I need to to be able to keep up with the exercise, so I only go about halfway down. My elbows are always at least at a 90 degree angle, so I know I'm still getting the benefit of doing them. Remember to keep your core tight-- not only your…

WOW, just wow! Did the fit test and the first workout of month 2. I'm wiped out! I feel really good about not only my progress on the fit test, but also how well I did in the workout tonight. I definitely wasn't able to complete every single rep of every exercise, but I kept up the majority of the time. I still needed some…

Yep--- after eating healthy for years, I can't tolerate greasy food. It makes me feel horrible.... Hubby and I do a lot of roadtrips and I've learned that I need to plan ahead and bring healthy snacks in case there isn't a Subway on our way. If I eat fast food I feel absolutely disgusting.... ugh, makes me nauseous to…

Skipping my last recovery day workout..... Recovery week Core Cardio and Balance was fun while it lasted, but there is no way I can do another one of those boring workouts. I'm moving on to day 1 of Month 2 tonight... can't wait!

Holy Hip Flexors, Batman! LMAO! Yah, still felt the burn today with the Core Cardio Balance! You guys were right!

Jeans: Rock and Republic or The Buckle "BKE" brand.... Both have 36" inseams. My BKE's are the cheapest pair of jeans I've ever owned and I love them. They drag on the ground if I don't have heels on!

Awesome... Thanks for the reply. I must be sick if I'm really looking forward to Month 2! lol

Well, today I'm starting the Recovery Week before stepping it up another level next week. I'm curious to see what this week is all about. I hope it's still a challenge or I'm going to be tempted to just continue with the first month routine for an additional week and then move on from there. Anyone have any input as to…

I'm 5'11" also! I have a small (thin) frame.... I'm down to 145 lbs from 150. My goal is to be to 140 by the beginning of April. My trouble area has always been my thighs-- they are always bigger than I want them to be. Ugh. Time for more cardio! Bring on the bikini!

Yep--- I get almost instant headaches from artificially sweetened drinks. I've also broken out in hives from artificial sweeteners as well. I steer clear of them now.

NOTHING tastes as good as fit, thin and healthy feels.... You just have to ask yourself what you want more: short term enjoyment from junk food or long term satisfaction and the results from sticking to your goals.

Welcome to MFP! Hugs to you! You aren't alone with everyone on the boards here. In addition, maybe look into joining some kind of fitness class or bootcamp so that you can meet some friends in your new city... Just a thought. Best of luck to you with the adjustments you have ahead of you! You appear to be a strong woman,…

Fantastic! Best of luck to you!!!

I struggled for years with acne. I tried cutting every type of food out of my diet and wasted literally thousands of dollars on beauty products (cleansers, makeup, creams, ect.) that I thought would help. I went to a dermatologist when I was in college and he didn't do anything but put me on antibiotics for an entire year.…

Depends on what your workout is I guess. I do Insanity and without a snack beforehand I would probably not have the energy to complete the workouts to the best of my ability. Therefore, I eat a light PB&J 1.5 - 2 hours before I workout. Works every time. Whole wheat bread, 1 tblsp organic PB, 1 tsp reduced sugar jelly.…
