  • Weight loss takes time, patience and consistency. It took me a little over a year to lose 90 pounds. You didn't put the weight on overnight, you're certainly not going to lose it overnight. I'd recommend putting the scale away for 2-3 weeks. It can be too much of a deterrent to folks when they're first starting out. Focus…
  • I think it's absolutely worth it- and I wouldn't dismiss it as "just a protein shake"- it's actually a meal replacement and nutrition supplement. I've been on it for over a year. Is it essential for you to succeed in losing weight? Nope. But it can make for a quick, easy and power-packed mini-meal. I consider myself a…
  • It's a lot of fun! It's actually one of my favorite Beachbody workout programs- it's like a cross between Zumba and kickboxing. If you want more info or have any questions about it, PM me. 8-)
  • I lost nearly 20 pounds doing Insanity- I had phenomenal results. I can't figure out how to post pics here- PM me and I can send to you. I've heard that most women lose weight during month 2 of the program- I was actually the exception to this rule and lost most of the weight during month 1 of the program. I highly…
  • kdiamonds is right - though I have done 25-30 minute sessions every once in a while as well. And never ever on back to back days. TurboFire is a pretty great HIIT based cardio program you can do at home- no treadmill or equipment required. In July, there's a free 30 day trial offer for the TurboFire Challenge Pack (workout…
  • I have gotten far more toned and fit with home workouts than I did while hitting the gym every day. A gym isn't required to get you fit- commitment & effort are and you can give it your all in your living room. Bodyrock.tv has great free workouts. You can find stuff for cheap at Target or if you're willing & able to spend…
  • I agree with agut that you can't go wrong with either one. Insanity is a 60 day program, whereas P90X is a 90 day one. Either way, you'll get good results...especially if you follow the nutrition plans. I've done both and I was more impressed with my Insanity results (though I did pay a lot more heed to the nutrition…
  • I'd recommend doing a hybrid with it- I'm actually doing a Brazil Butt Lift/ TurboFire/ P90X hybrid program right now and it's very challenging. If you've ever thought about trying Shakeology, there's a free 30 day trial going on right now for Challenge Packs (including Brazil Butt Lift, TurboFire or P90X and Shakeology).…
  • Renee, motivation is key! You can add me as a friend here and on Facebook as well if you like! I'm the only Petrina Hamm on there. 8-)
