a cartographer who is also in a quiet local indie band that can pack out a local bar. i think he might be the drummer.

Today, I was walking to the printer at work and a lady said to me, "Michelle, you just keep losing weight. What does your boyfriend say about it?" I mentioned he doesn't say anything about it.... then she said, I should hit him in the face next time :) I laughed and said my jabs are getting a little better from Insanity,…

I'm starting p90x on June 17th. :) (a few days after i finish insanity) :)

Honestly, I'd talk to her and ask if anything is going on in her world. From what you've said, she kind of sounds depressed. She's not taking care of herself and not making sure that she has adequate clothing even though she has the time and resources to do these things. She is not placing herself as a priority, so I think…

i'm on day 37 max interval plyo tonight. :)

My boyfriend's mom just got gastric bypass and I am sorry, but I cannot view it as "hard work". In her case, she has to watch what she eats due to the surgery, but she doesn't exercise at all. Then, she brags about how great she looks. Seriously! There has been no effort on her end. Also, she would have lost weight IF she…

I was violently raped in college. I don't talk about it much but it made me severely depressed. I started drinking and fell asleep BY MYSELF in a guy friend's dorm room and woke up to his friend trying to take advantage of me being passed out. I started to gain weight in order to make myself unattractive so it would never…

My story was -- when I took the fit test, i was like "What have I gotten myself into?" In fact, someone who was supposed to start the program with me also bought the program to do at home and quit right after the fit test! You can do it!!!! some of the things that i hated at first (jumping jack pushups), I started by doing…

Sometimes, though, the people who are best for you are almost not what you're generally into, but getting to know them as a person makes them attractive. I had always dated really tall, muscular guys and was into tall guys. My current boyfriend of 3 years is 5'6". After getting to know him and realizing that we could talk…

Thanks so much!!! :) I am excited to start p90X in about..... 30 days. (That's what I have left of insanity and so I purchased p90x as my "what's the next thing i want to tackle?") :)

I am 34 days in.... and start month 2 saturday!!! but.... from what I have been told my this lady at work, "OMG! You look like you have lost weight? What are you doing?" and I mentioned I was 30 days into insanity and she was like "OMG! only 30 days?!! You look GREAT!" :) definitely worth a try!

Zumba is pretty funnn!! :) Especially if you have the wii/xbox/ps3 versions, just because it is kind of fun to get the score at the end and feel like you were playing a game that whole time!

Great problem to have!!! :) though I will admit, I love Lane Bryant's shoes/accessories. :)

Hi there!! I am a plus sized lady serious about weight loss :) I am about a size 18 and am hoping to get to a 12! :) Currently, I am working on the Insanity program (which I love) and have found that I really need lists and to log in here daily in order to motivate myself! It's just so tough on its own! I lost 40 pounds a…

I am not :) Or I try really hard not to be! My mom raised me to believe that we women are all on the same team and that we have enough going against us already so we shouldn't try to sabotage each other. I think that is something that has really stuck with me!! I am really glad you stood up for the lady. :) She is probably…

I don't take celexa, but i take its sister drug Lexapro, which had fewer side effects for me (other than yawning all of the time, regardless of if I was tired). I think what happens is when you're depressed the joy of things is not there. Sometimes, an antidepressant can bring back the joy of eating things that taste good…

One of the things I remind myself is that.... I didn't put the weight on overnight, so I don't expect it to come off immediately either. I am not frustrated, but I know that this path towards health is a long one for me. My boyfriend's mom just got gastric bypass and I am irritated whenever I walk in the door and it is…

Question out there for all of you X'ers.... I just bought a used copy of p90X from craigslist that someone had offered stating they didn't need it anymore. Anyway, I bring it home and inspect the discs and I cannot get Core Synergistics or Cardio X to work.... :( Would any of you know if there might be a good swap for…

I have 38K and I actually have to layer an old underwire bra, and then 4 or 5 sports bras together, especially if I am doing something that involves jumping jacks. I find it helps me a lot. :) I really haven't found a particular brand that I feel would be supportive on its own.

I am about 30 days into Insanity and I feel like it definitely does work! You're your own person and you will know what kind of workout you need. I had a bunch of homework out stuff, wii Zumba, wii Gold's Gym cardio.... and I found myself being the type of person who needed a program like Insanity to push me and motivate…

I have kind of noticed this thing about women.... Somehow, a lot of women are raised to believe that everything is a competition. I have noticed this a lot when it comes to male attention, weight, career. They want to sabotage each other at every turn. I was raised by my mom to believe that we women are all on the same…

how is rockin' body?? :) I was wondering. :)

I hated it, too!! But now I want to try it witht he peanut butter in it to see if I like that! :)

I usually post it as yoga/pilates. :)

I have weak knees from being a softball catcher for years. I also have patellar tendonitis. For some of the jumps, worry a lot more about form than speed. You'd rather do 20 perfect ones than 50 imperfect ones that will jack your knees. Also, you can get a decent knee brace at wal-mart for $20, which worked wonders for me…

insanity buddies!!!!! i am on month 1, week 4, day 4! :) you can do this!!!!

I just finished insanity and this isn't a food related confession, but.... I will confess that I am always the "big girl" among my friends. Always! Not sure how that happens, but I feel like one of the friends I have made at work that I always joke around with and is a great cubicle buddy is inadvertently making me feel…
