I log whatever the scale says :)

I love it! I'm on day 13 and I've lost 2.5 pounds (as of monday) and several inches. I also run (have been before Insanity so I'm sure that helped but still!) I'd say it's worth it.

Yeah. I'll probably do another marathon not sure when though. I'm doing another half in April (this will be my 4th half)

I ran my first marathon in Oct. 2012. My goal was to finish as well. I followed the Novice 1. Though I admit I didn't stick with my training. I'm a photographer and fall is incredibly busy for me so I just didn't have time from Sept. on. I skipped a lot of my short runs but always did the long runs. My biggest advice is to…

I'm in for 75.

I find that if I run with a friend who is considerably slower then I am then my legs hurt. I've had runner friends say the same. I don't run based on my heart rate though so not sure about that.

Thanks Joe! I'll check it out.

Have you tried compression socks? I don't wear them but my friend does and she said it helps her. Or what about your shoes? How many miles do you have on your current pair? I had shin splints pretty bad but I had old shoes. Since I've gotten my newer pair I've been shin splint free.

I run almost everyday sometimes twice a day (at least 25 miles a week) I do Insanity 6 days a week and Jillian Michaels Extreme Shed and Shred 3-4 times a week. Then I have a board on Pinterest with some zumba videos that I do (8 video's total and I do each video 2-3 times all in the same workout gives me about a 60-80…

I'm on Week 2. Cardio Power & Resistance. I'm also adding in some P90x starting Tuesday (waiting on my dvd's to get here) I've heard a lot of people saying they gained weight the first week. How did all off you girls (and guys!) do?? I'm currently doing a weight loss challenge and tomorrow is my weigh in so I'm super…

I was a swimmer in high school and now I'm a runner. I've done several half marathons, 5k's and I have done a marathon. I only stopped swimming because I got fat and didn't want to be seen in a bathing suit. Now that I'm back down to a weight I'm somewhat happy with I want to start swimming again. My goal for this year is…

Wow! You look incredible. You should be very proud of yourself.

I just started this week. I just did pure cardio today. It's hard (especially paired with training for a half marathon) but I really enjoy it!

Hal Higdon's is the best! I've used that program a few times. For half marathons and my marathon. I'm currently doing the Novice 2 for the half marathon (mine is April 28th!) Good luck on your training!

You look great! I love seeing before and after images. Thank you for sharing.
