I have done a lot of different home workout routines. I have a pretty demanding job and don't really have the time to go to a gym so I find working out at home to be a great option. I can do it on my time and on my schedule. Plus I'm not the type of person that came come up with a workout regimen on my own; I need a little…

I did significant rearrangement when I did P90X last summer. It was usually dictated by my work hours. I rarely was able to follow the schedule, but made sure I did all the workouts for the week. I sometimes even had to extend weeks to 8 or 9 days because of work, in the end everything worked out fine; it did take me 4…

This is what's most scary, but I've never backed down from a fight!

Good luck on you journey. I'm on my last week, in fact I have 2 more workouts until completion. 33 pounds lost and dropped 2 pant sizes.

I agree with everyone else. There is no such thing as cheating as long as you are below your calorie goal. Getting into the mind set that there are off limit foods will only sabatoge your goals.
