  • Oh wow, I just posted something very similar! I am working on what I can do better ... not sabotaging myself, putting in my mouth what I deem is healthy and not worrying if my kids are eating fast food thanks to the hubby ... We all have to do it for ourselves ... but how to you get past the point where you become weak??…
  • OMG CONGRATS GIRL!! What an awesome inspiration you are to all of us!! I love the idea of a video!!
  • That's AWESOME!!!!!!!! So happy for you!! What an amazing feeling!! You must be on cloud 9!!
  • FORGIVEN!! Stop beating yourself down!! We all have moments where we cave or fall off the beaten path! the most important thing is to get back up, dust yourself off and get back to the basics!! We are NOT perfect ... we err ... we are human. It's good that you are admitting to your faults. I find that it helps me stay more…
  • iHeart radio is free and Pandora too ... I like to put on Pitbull and all the music there is fast, fun, and makes you want to move!!
  • Bite the bullet and just jump in and do what you can!! Some exercise is better than nothing at all!! I'm quite a bit overweight and decided to do Insanity. I loved it. Totally kicked my butt, but saw results right away in my stamina and heart rate. I also dropped some weight, but say the inches melt away. Whatever you do,…

  • I know that it's a general estimate based on what your height, weight, and gender are. For me personally, it was way over! I was logging in Insanity first week as 700+ per workout. I ended up getting a HR monitor, plugged in my stats, did the same workout and averaged mid to high 400s. So if you eat your exercise calories…
  • I think I saw a gain as well ... but at the end of the week I was 4 pounds lighter!! Don't freak out just yet ... you started a new program and that's most likely water weight. Hang in tight ... you will see results!! Insanity is an awesome program!
  • WOW! Thanks for all the replies!! That's why I always ask here, b/c I like the people who have tried it out and can relate to why I want to use it. I've read millions of reviews, but like to hear from the people I closely relate with! I still have some decisions to make ... I like the thought of the watch version (FitBit…
  • Anyone have any thoughts?? Just bumping this up~
  • congrats! you look wonderful!
  • Got this one from another MFP profile and it struck a chord with me. "Believe in yourself and know that you'll cross the finish line. No one can want it bad enough for you. You have to want it for yourself - and more than anything ..." My new fav: Strive for PROGRESS, NOT Perfection!!
  • WOW!! You look amazing!! Good for you!
  • I'm a home gym-body too! Currently working on P90 and moving onto Insanity!! I've been doing pretty well. I pop in the DVD once every 24 hours, sometimes sooner (I work nights so my schedule is a bit wacky). I am watching my sugar/fat intake and trying to make better decisions rather than quickie meals from fast food…
  • HOT DAMN WOMAN!! You look uh-MAY-zing!!!!
  • Me too ... what an inspiration ... so much that I messaged you! ;)
  • For those of you who have done it ... do you think that someone at 231 pounds can handle it?? I'm definitely not in shape by any means, but can hold my own (if that makes sense). I'm currently using P90, and boy is it not motivating at all. I'm thinking that I need something with some pizzaz to make me want to get up and…
  • Absolutely!! Listen, I'm on this journey to lose weight. So the only way for me to be successful is if I'm honest. I've been known to love Cheez-Its. So I got snack baggies, and would count out 27 crackers and put them in a bag. When I needed a snack, I'd grab the bag and go. It's all what works for each of us!! So if you…
  • Awesome!! Good for you!! Keep at it!
  • WTG girl ... I love you in one leg!! You MUST feel amazing!!
  • Damn girl! You look hawt!! Keep up the great work!!
  • Thanks Twi ... I'll have to be more patient! I'll try again tomorrow!
  • Oh man ... just tried the Greenberry "Banana Sunshine" and dumped it right down the drain. Ugh ... no bueno for me. I couldn't get passed that chalky taste. It was turning my stomach as I was trying to get it down. Two spoonfuls later, it had to go. I'm going to try that above recipe here and see if I like that. Hope the…
  • Please, I hear ya loud and clear girlfriend!! I needed a new battery in my scale and it has weighed me in at 10 pounds HEAVIER!! Ugh ... I liked the old number better!
  • This may sound silly ... but while I was bored, I looked up salad works and panera bread salads, and picked out my few favorites. Then I listed the ingredients and went shopping! :bigsmile: I love the -Autumn salad; turkey, craisins, corn, carrots and sunflower seeds, served on a bed of lettuce mix topped with crispy apple…
  • I would personally chose the smartphone. I don't have a HRM, but do have the iPhone. As many already said, there are TONS of free apps that you can choose from; fitness, nutrition, C25K ... just so many. You can check out the apps if you download iTunes (free) and you can browse around the apps and have yourself a look.…
  • I don't know if anyone has already said this, if so I apologize. I'd post right under the picture in the comment section ... "OMG ... this is a horrible picture" and then attach a picture of yourself that you like. That way, everyone who was tagged or commented to the picture can see a better picture of you from that…
  • I'm starting Power 90 on 7/2 and CANNOT WAIT! I'm hoping that following an exercise routine will help me to become more accountable for my exercising and make it part of my daily routine. Also, I"m going to try to follow some meal ideas they have listed in the booklet!
  • Wow that's great!! I just received my package today in the mail, and I"m ready to jump in on Monday! I want to get everything else set up in the meantime (food, schedules, ect). Excited to get started!
  • How ya doing with things?? We need to stick together!
