That's pretty exciting, actually. I'm kinda jealous.

Haha, that's true.

Ahhhh, entertain me, darn it. Please?

I like Quest bars! I eat whole ones for breakfast, but you could eat half as a snack. They have like 17 grams of fiber and 20 grams of protein. And they are really filling! I eat one at about 7, and then am not hungry until lunch at 11ish. The cookie dough one is fan-freaking-tastic if you put it in the microwave for about…

Haha it never works out that way, does it?

HAHA I love you.

Your start weight is one pound above mine. And I'm 5'8". Would love to be friends!! <3

This. I'm not saying your sister was trying to be mean. At all. But weight loss brings out weird things in people. Sometimes people can act that way even when they don't know they are. I've been surprised by some of my friends' reactions.

I don't think it's a necessity. It's just my preference. I like having numbers. I like doing the same workouts and pushing for a higher burn. I like trying to push my heart rate high. And I like noticing when I'm in my range.

Hey there! I'm currently on day 39 of insanity. (day 4 of month 2) 1. Does everyone use a heart rate monitor? I do. I use the Polar FT4. 2. Do you follow Shaun T's diet plan or stick to their own? I follow my own. The Elite Nutrition Guide tells me to eat a million calories. I eat less. Though I will say, I upped my…

On the Polar FT4, press the button on the right to go to general settings and then training settings. Select it. Training sounds comes up. Toggle it to off! :)

Pretty! with nice hair :)

Mysterious.

Haha this is hilarious.

I'm doing insanity as well. Day 32 today! Feel free to add me!

I'm 25! Always love new friends, especially with open diaries. Anyone can add me! :)

I'm 25. :)

Love this.

My stats are similar to yours. I'm 5'8", started at 257 and now at 245. We can do this together. Anyone else can add me as well! Love to support and be supported. Friends only make this journey easier. :)

I am on day 31 today. Halfway through the program. I have a love/hate relationship. It's hard, of course (you would expect that), but it also keeps me motivated. I was sore a lot during the first week, but now it's toned down a lot. You really notice your endurance getting better during it, and I think that it's an awesome…

I use Stevia. Some people use Splenda or Equal, but I try to avoid sucralose and aspartame as much as I can because there's some information about them being less healthy/having to do with cancer. Stevia is a no calorie sweetener, but it comes from a leaf, so it's natural. Not a chemical. That, and I think it tastes…

Yeah I was thinking of doing the fit test on my rest day of recovery week so that I don't have to do those two together!

I didn't think I had gotten better, but I improved on every exercise at least a little bit. :) Good luck!!

No I haven't! I can't look ahead or I'll freak myself out. Haha. But you're right. We will do it, and we'll yell at Shaun T. the whole time. But we'll be stronger after!!

I know! I'm in recovery week, and then to the MAX workouts. I'm so nervous!!

Wow I don't think I've hit 600 on any of the month 1 workouts! You're awesome!!

You can DO IT girl. I have had several days where I feel that way. Just put on your workout clothes and press play. It's only 38 minutes, and you will feel SO MCUH BETTER afterwards!! You will only regret it if you skip it. Stick to the calendar, even if you half-*kitten* the workout. I believe in you!!

Congratulations! I have noticed a lot of changes in my endurance! Like my heart rate doesn't spike as much and I can do a lot more of the exercises. I've lost about 13 pounds in the almost 4 weeks that I've done it. I haven't done measurements though. What about you?

It's a Beachbody workout program. Basically, it's several really intense workouts with little breaks in between. You can look on the beachbody website if you want to see exactly. It's hard!

Our stats are really similar!! I'm 5'8", SW 257.2, CW 245. I'm always looking for new friends, especially active ones! :)
