  • Yup!! I'm down ~10 lbs. And my mind knows thats great, but a part of me also views the number as small and like I'm not far enough away from my starting weight to feel comfortable enough to not slide right back easily. I could gain these 10 lbs back in probably 2-weeks if I stopped paying attention to my diet and stopped…

  • This is a great way to view long-term weight loss! One week of enjoying something special, like your sons birthday, isn't the end of the world. And having the attitude that its ok because it will be off next week, is perfect! Very motivating :)

  • I had 3 false starts last year. And instead of losing, I ended the year 15 lbs HEAVIER than I started it! :o But in December I started to really get my head right and really double downed beginning in January. Stick with it no matter how many false starts or start overs you need :) for me, it takes a few failed attempts…

  • Thanks! 7.2 lbs lost in 2 months :) I know thats ok and not horrible, but I guess I expected more. And that was just unrealistic views on my end. I am consistent and the trend is in the right direction. Definitely seeing progress in other areas too! I started tracking inches at the beginning of this month and will measure…

  • You can do push ups against your desk. Tricep dips against the desk too. If you care to add ankle weights you could incorporate those in with simple leg lifts under the desk. Add a weighted ball or bottle of water for simple upper body lifts like lifting arms out to your side, in front, over your head etc. You could also…

I think that would be great but I know I'd spend weeks recovering. I'm still paying the price for trying the back stroke last week. :( the pain is worse when I reach…

  • This sounds fun! So does sailing. I learned when I was little. My dad was a sailor. But I don't have access to a sail boat anymore. I love kayaking because it gets me out on the water. LOVE the water!!

  • Potentially, yes. So long as I'm careful about what I do, I should be fine. My hip requires a lot of stretching and my shoulder just needs as little movement as possible and some cortisone shots. I've dealt with my shoulder for years with no permanent relief. Even when I do nothing, it hurts. So I might as well be happy…

  • It doesn't just need to be lifting weights. Hiking, kayaking, swimming, biking are all things to fill the time too. It beats watching TV.

  • Good point! I hadnt thought of it that way. Once the internship starts I'll be lucky to get 2 hours in a week! I finish my undergrad next spring though :happy: I'll use the extra time to see what short, quick and effective workouts I like and can stick with too :smil:wink: To all the people who say they would sleep--…

LOL), videos like insanity on days that suck outside, and strength training in the gym a few times a week. It…

  • I have fun doing most of the Insanity workouts. The only one I dont have fun with is Core Cardio and Balance because it hurts my hip. It's different for everyone. He does yell a lot but its for motivation not to force you into anything. There are plenty of opportunities to stop if you need to and he says it all the time to…

  • I have insanity and I think it's well worth it (I'm in recovery week now). There are so many different workouts it can easily be added to something. If you are looking to tone up have you considered P90X? Check my friends list for Kim_MC and send her a message. I believe she has TF and she just finished the Insanity…

  • 30 day shred is my vote too. I have it. You will be on level 3 for sure after insanity. I was on level 2 before I started insanity and I thought about going back to it once I am done with insanity. There is no set schedule though. It doesnt say to do it 3 days or 6 days a week. Since you are used to 6X a week I would stick…
