Aww thanks!!! When it arives.... where did you get it from??? Yes I have noticed, not alot of Christian's on this site ;) Not that I care but it is something you don't see to much of. ;)

^^ What he said.... However, I like the morning workouts and feel better if I workout in the morning. I am dead to the world if I don't. Then I put it off and it doesn’t get done… 5 kids will do that to you! I wake up at 4-4:30 (depending on how long or what I am doing that day) get dressed and go right into my workout…

Nice!!! I bet you aced the fit test! Yes I did do p90x for a bit. After I finish Insanity, if I survive ;), I might do a recovery week and then into a p90x/insanity Hybrid. So then I get both like you sugested. I have a tendincy to "bulk" up so I want to do the cardio this time only... weights later. ;)

I might have to try that! Maybe tomorrow! See how long I last! For me though I have the Asics gel's. http://www.amazon.com/ASICS-Womens-Gel-Strike-Running-Indigo/dp/B004DERA9S/ref=sr_1_8?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1344437971&sr=1-8&keywords=asics+purple+white+gel They do pretty good however I would like to upgrade to the next…

Best thing you can do. Too many people listen to others over their body. Not a good combo!

Sometimes I do sometimes I don't.... I do if I eat WAY over on Sunday to make up for it. I have a fitbit so that helps me see where I am at for the day. I just switched to Insanity from p90x btw. I sometimes use the elliptical or walk really fast pushing 2 of my kids in a stroller. That is a great walk and it helps stretch…

I made a HUGE breakfast burrito for only 250 calories. Mmmm... With sausage, cheese, potatoes, egg whites, bell peppers, onions, and a tortilla with some pepper! Going for a chicken taco in an hour too!

Almost forgot... save that link I gave you. There are 3 other sales for the same watch and they are both 30.00-40.00 higher! That one is around 60 the others are showing at 99! OUTCH!

Oh cool! Me too! The hardest was the leg part when you were in plank at the very end. OH MY GOODNESS! My thighs were burning and actually gave out! Never had that happen before! About my HRM…I did A LOT of researched and checked out reviews and youtube prior to purchase. I got the Polor ft4f for 60.00 with shipping. Best…

Anytime!!!! Good luck! How did you like the workout today? How long have you been doing it for? Are you on the plyo today for Tuesday or just starting your fit test? :) Oh and a fitbit might help you too. I wear it all day except for my workouts when I use my HRM. That really helps me see what I am burning in a day. You…

With your stats to maintain you need 1688 calories a day. To loose you need a 500 calorie deficit which brings you to around 1188. Then you want to eat your exercise calories back to keep you at the 500 deficit or you would have a very larger deficit. Some people choose to eat back their calories, some eat back half, and…

I don't follow the insanity workout nutrition guidelines. They want me to eat way too much for me personally. What are you trying to achieve. Whats your height/weight/age. Do you want to loose, tone, bulk?

I am not living trying to make it meal to meal and I am like sidesteal. Just because someone doesn't eat breakfast doesn’t mean they are starving. It takes 60 hours to "starve" and go into a starvation mode not 12! I eat when I am hungry and alot of times I don't in the morning because it plays with my levels. Read the…

Yes and it doesn't matter what you eat focus on the deficit. That is your focus. You need to get that fixed before you can even begin to look elsewhere. When a tire needs to be fixed you fix the tire not give your truck a 10 inch lift kit! It won't fix your tire! Anyone who takes a look at your workout history and calorie…

HAH! I have a granola bar (90 caloires) usually around 9am. That is about it till lunch!

false we are not a car and it takes 60 hours before your metabolism slows from not eating. I don't eat breakfast. It doesn't work for me.

^^ What he said! I wonder why I even bother reading the boards you are on.... you always say what I was gonna say anyway! :)

Don't forget weights.... That is just as important as your food and cardio. You need all 3 to be effective or you will tank again!

HRM is more accurate. Use it! Mine is way lower then MFP estimates and its because I am short and don't weigh that much. I already knew that going into it that it was off. You have the FT4 not the FT7 so I would disregard what the other poster stated. As far as I know it is around 97% accurate. But if you know differently…

You hardly have any weights and you are doing all cardio. A lot of days just walking or cleaning. Your estimates on your exercise seem a little bit too high so you are probably over you calories almost every day. That isn’t going to cut it. This will make your tummy get larger based on over eating and over estimating your…

Now an update to all! I got the Insanity package sealed on craigslist for 60.00 last night. YAH! And I did the fit test last night. I scored as high or almost as the people in the video on the first 4 exercises and they have already completed 1-2 Insanity rounds sooo I know THIS IS SO FOR ME! and I know why the Kenpo…

Yes you are right! For all those who are doing p90x I love the weight workouts they have however and the program is fantastic but the cardio is boring and not tough enough for me! After the first round of insanity, I think I might do the hybrid of both, take the best of both worlds! Cardio is what I wanted because I was…

Nope but I do fat free mayo or honey mustard. Both only 10-20 calories!

You go girl! You doing insanity again or what do yu have planned next?

Very nice job! Keep going girlie! That is alot of weight and something to be proud of!

Really its the deficit. I like what Amanda put you can change your goals. Don't pay attention too much at the other stuff until you run into a plateau or have a really low body fat %. Because really its about the calories at this point. Note that if you are low on energy you can up the carbs a little to help. Sometimes a…

Sounds like you are doing fine then! Just stick with it. A plateau is when you go a month or two without a weight drop OR inches/body fat. I would wait it out for another 2-3 weeks and see. You loose the most within the first couple of weeks then it tapers off. This and being a girl throws a wrench into the whole scale…

Like how he put it! I think your calorie burn is too high for what you have listed. See if you can get a HRM. Mine said I was not even burning 300 calories on the P90X Kenpo and the averages are around 600+. For me personally, I would wait it out though… sometimes people hit a straight line for a week or two then jump…
