Wow! Its great to see so many tall women on MFP! I'm 5'11" with a small frame and wear a size 6. I've got some water weight issues going on right now or something (lol!) because I was 149 yesterday and 146 right now. My body is just adjusting to the Insanity workout I guess. Nonetheless, my goal weight is 140.

The best way to avoid this confusion in the future is to stop drinking soda all together. It's crap and is not the fuel your body needs. Best of luck to you!

The good news is that if you truly feel as bad as you sound like you are, you should be able to recall that feeling the next time those muffins, ect. call to you. Knowing how horrible you felt after making a mistake such as this one should make it easier to walk away from the temptation next time. You can always revisit…

Just as I previously thought, I am pretty much right on track according to the Insanity program suggestion for weight loss. According to the calculation, I should be taking in 1824 calories. Given the fact that I am not stringent on measuring everything exactly, its likely that I am eating exactly that. Thanks for your…

Thank you to everyone for your replies. Interesting to hear that several people have experienced the same thing with the beginning of the Insanity workout, but ended up dropping weight later in the program. I intend to stick with it, but it does make me nervous. I hope I shed the few pounds I've put on when I reach the…

Thanks for the input... I understand what you're saying, however five pounds of fat weighs the same as five pounds of muscle-- it's five pounds. Insanity is an intense cardio workout, unlike, say, P90X which would be more focused on weight training and therefore muscle building. From what I've always understood (and…

I'm 5'11" with a small frame. I'm currently 149 right now and am aiming for 140... Last year I got down to 137, but looking back at pictures makes me realize that it was a tad too thin. I'm doing Insanity right now and have actually seen the scale go up which I'm not happy about-- wondering if that's because of muscle…

Grey Goose and diet sprite or Sailor Jerry and coke zero.... Beer? Michelob Ultra. Yum!

If he's having a tough time with P90X, Insanity isn't the right choice. Insanity is WAY tougher than P90X. To OP: The whole point of P90X is to help you get into good shape. It's reiterated time and time again on that program that you need to work up to an advanced level. It's also emphasized that you should make…

I'm on day 11 and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Don't get me wrong, it's hard as hell, but its awesome. Man, I'm tired after those workouts, but it is a fantastic feeling knowing that you just finished a crazy workout and kicked some butt. Last night was Pure Cardio... brutal. :) I've figured out that eating a PB&J (reduced sugar…

I've completed P90X and am currently in my first week of Insanity. It's ABSOLUTELY worth it, but you do have to work hard and commit to giving your best every time. Insanity is no joke-- I'm very fit and it kicks my @ss! I love it though....

Thanks very much!

Bump? :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :blushing:

Venti BAGGED, as in tea bags (not the mix with all the sugar) Chai Tea, a splash of half & half and a shake or two of the vanilla powder they have by the sugars. It's a big drink, delicious AND I dont have to feel guilty!

Awww! Thank you all SO, SO much, not only for the votes, but also for the nice comments!

Just mix the sweet tea vodka with Crystal Light Lemonade. I add a squeeze of real lemon as well. Enjoy!!!

No chocolate bar or cookie in the whole world tastes as good as the feeling of being the weight that you want to be....

yeah, but they are SOOO worth it! :love:

I wear Rock & Republic. They are crazy long, even when I wear heels! Love them!

Thank you! You gals are very kind... You CAN do it !!! I'm rootin' for ya! :drinker:

Fixed it-- a little too late though.... :sick:

That's very nice of you to say! Thank you... :flowerforyou:

Wow, seriously, what a jerk. You don't need someone like that in your life! Good for you for realizing what an @ss he was....

Don't wait around for him to find you, girl!!! Go out and find him! Met my hubby seven years ago on Match.com-- We've been married for three years now! By going on Match I was able to essentially "man-shop" and find one that was perfect for me: right height, similar interests, HOT... :laugh: Edit: tried to post a picture,…

Whoops--- I just posted in the other thread and then saw this one... Oh well, just thought I would say hello to my fellow tall ladies!

Hi Ladies!! I've kinda already reached my goal weight (can't stop lurking on this site though:laugh: ) by doing P90X, but any additional I lose is just icing on the cake I guess. (save your "healthy" comments for somewhere else, please, as I am very much in tune with my body and what my ideal weight is for my frame :happy:…

ha! It's so irritating and I feel that it takes away from the integrity of the entire program. But, hey... that's just my .02
