Just sent you an invite. Help motivate me!

I am starting tomorrow. Really, I am. I have to do the rest days on Tuesdays. :) Can anyone tell me how it compares to Insanity?

@HippieST I am starting on Wednesday. Sounds crazy, but I need to take my rest day on Tuesdays.

I recently lost 30 pounds and had to purge my closet too. It broke my heart to give away some of my clothes that I loved, but on the other hand, I love seeing them on a friend of mine who never spends any money to dress herself.

Because I ate junk yesterday and feel physically bad as a result today.

Halloween Oreos.

Check to make sure your bluetooth is on on whichever device you use to track. Sometimes it's not the fltbit, it's the device. I have to clear apps every now and then on my phone to make the fitbit sync. Also, you can manually sync in that app, so try that. I have to "remind" my phone sometimes to sync.

I can't get used to shopping for smaller sizes. I've not looked at mediums or size 10's in years, and I have to consciously think about it when I shop.

You mean I could eat all the fish fingers and custard I want and STILL lose weight?? Sign me up!!

Now I really watch my calories, and I'm a better judge of what the calorie count of food is. And I've had to buy new clothes and have some altered.

I ate like a lunatic while I was studying for grad school exams, but that was for a six month period instead of three days. If you can stop yourself, do that. If you can't stop now, resolve to stop at the end of the three days. As soon as my exams were over I threw out all the crap and got serious. If I had tried to do…

Sounds like the way we camp. :laugh: Seriously, fruit, vegs, protein bars so you can have a treat while everyone else is eating sweets. We grill chicken, turkey dogs (no bun), grilled vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil, cereal and milk for breakfast. I don't know if you have a camper, or a site with electricity, or if…

^This. Excellent advice.

Stress??? What stress???? I have trouble saying no, and people know that so they constantly ask me to do things. Then I am spread too thin.

This.

Good info! I never met a bean I didn't like.

Wow! Congratulations! And what an inspirational story!

Twenty pounds lost certainly is a huge deal! That is great and congratulations!

I think Akil is there to make us feel better if we take a break. He's kind of like the girl with the cornrows in some of the Month 1 videos, the one who says she wants to leave. Whenever she takes a break, I do too. Tania is not human. She is probably a terminator. No way can I keep up with her, but it's good goal to have.…

You look awesome! What an inspirational story! I have to admit, I love seeing people on here who are my age (I'm 48 too) and have won the weight loss battle. That gives me hope! Congratulations!

I am still interested. Are we doing a check in today? I need to be accountable to someone. If I am I will be more honest.

So I joined this group ten days ago and I'm just getting around to introducing myself--tells you a lot about my lifestyle. I'm 48, married, with a ten year old daughter who is into a lot of activities. I teach yoga 4 days a week, but I'm 30 pounds overweight (my estimate) so it makes it hard to do some of the poses even…

I'm in. We've been moving toward clean eating at my house since the beginning of January. I've become a dedicated label reader in the grocery store. My daughter never met a processed carb she didn't like so she's a real challenge. I'm sort of new to MFP so how do we do this? Make a group?

I'm 48 and I've gained and lost the same 30-40 pounds about 4 times. The reason I gain it back is because I lost it in an unsustainable manner in the first place. Don't go on a crazy diet or exercise plan that you don't think you can continue on for the rest of your life. Don't fad diet; eat healthy. Start out exercising…

Could not have put it better, Bigguy47. Right on the money, literally.

Just started week three of Insanity today. I was in relatively good condition until about a year ago when I really let everything slide. I used to run half marathons, but got so I could barely run for three minutes straight,. I'm femaie, 48, husband and 10 year old daughter, and need all the motivation I can get. Feel free…
