The holidays are making me lose motivation!! This morning I wrapped all my gifts, I finished most of my baking, but my motivation to eat right and drink my water is just nowhere to be found.

I think you should up the count to perhaps 25 every hour. This is a great idea, I love it that your employer is doing this!

OMG!! My sister in law made this pie last year for Thanksgiving! It was the best pumpkin pie I have ever had!! Thanks for posting this recipe!

Dear MFP posters, Thank you for making my obsessively read each and every one of these posts! This was definitely the funniest thread I have read on here. There are ones I can relate to from my kids (now 25, 20, and 15) when they were little, to my teenage daughter now, my husband, other family members, coworkers (when I…

Oh my goodness!! I had to read through everyone's posts, so many of these things annoy me! My top 3 things are: Fake people, if I don't like someone, I will not go out of my way to make smalltalk with them, please have the same courtesy for me. People that let their kids run wild wherever they are, grocery store,…

For me, it is easier to go by myself. i was going with a workout buddy, but like you said, hard day, sore muscles, any little excuse hinders you from reaching your goals. Even when I am suppose to work out at home with my hubby, if he decides not to do it on a certain day, I do it anyway. I have a goal and I will reach…

My kids are older now, but I use to make all their costumes. Green or purple grapes, green or purple sweats with corresponding color balloons pinned on. Hobo - patch of diff color material glued or loosely sewn on jeans, beard painted, a filled handkerchief tied to end of a stick. Christmas present - a box wrapped in xmas…

I really liked 30 day shred, unlike a few others I liked level 2 the best! Seemed like lot of cardio in there, i don't know, I just know I liked it better than the other 2 levels. I do Insanity and Turbofire now, but every once in a while I will do 30 DS for a quick workout.

You should have a Fit Test DVD...you need to just record your results for each of the exercises.

Bumping so this is in My Topics :happy:

I love doing Insanity. I love it even more that I am not doing it EVERY day, only every other day. I don't feel as beat up. My hubby still hates it, I told him to start doing it every day and he will appreciate it a lot more. For some reason, he is not as strong in his upper body as I thought he was, lol! He has a harder…

I have Insanity and Turbofire. I love them both, but they are very different. Turbofire took me a little while to catch on to, there are routines to learn, Insanity, I just jumped right into. Both very good cardio workouts!!

Go to “tools” tab and click on BMR to figure out your Basal Metabolic Rate. Then go to the “my home” tab, click on goals, go to change goals, select the custom, and click on continue. Enter in your Net Calories consumed from your BMR calculation. Then enter the percentages the you would like for carbs, protein, and fat. On…

Edorice - pic is too funny!! Emily - I am only doing Insanity 2 days a week right now, but do not really follow the diet that closely. Eat a lot of the food in the diet, though. gaspegirl - I Love Insanity and do miss it on the days I don't do it, but I needed a break from it. I do it w my hubby 2 days a week. The other…

Record it and move on...it is unrealistic to think you will never eat any of the junk food that you like. Portion control and moderation is the key.

I have one of these in different variations everyday during the week. I make them before I go to bed, and freeze them and take it out when I get up to work out. A lot of times I use light choc soy mild. Sooo yummy!

Minutes for C25K 31, 471 calories

Keep in mind it is not necessarily the quantity of time, but sometime the quality that counts. Depending on what your goals are.

I do C25K. I did a round and a half of Insanity. I am 5'4" and 185 lbs now. I was 227 when I started my journey, 197 when I started on MFP. I don't have too much of a problem doing aerobic type of activities, I am currently doing Turbofire. Running is a problem for me. Like Trish said above Running is 90% mental. I totally…

Tues - C25K 45 min, 503 cal (had to add the calories) Wed - Turbofire 48 min, 577 cal, will do C25K tonight Jody

I have never done Hip Hop ABs or Turbo Jam, so not qualified to talk about those. I have done a round and a half of Insanity, but I felt I needed a break. I love Insanity, but it is a constant pounding on your body. I just recieved Turbofire and I am just going to mix it up with Insanity. I have only done the Fire 45…

I am in... Monday - Turbofire 48 min 541cal, 45 min Muscle Fusion class 560 cal Tues - Turbofire 48 min in AM 576 cal, C25K 45 - 55 min in PM Jody

I would like to join this challenge...today's weigh in was 185.

This morning I did Max Cardio again. It was workout w hubby day, and I wanted to push him a little more, :grumble: i knew it was one I could push myself on, so I just left it in from yesterday. I did not eat enough yesterday, so i dont think i had enough energy, but I pushed through. Burned 689 cal compared to 725…

This morning I did Max Cardio Conditioning. In my opinion, the easiest of the Max. Not sure what tomorrow holds. Burned 725 calories. Going to do the C25K tonight, I am on week 4 day 1. I am not a good runner, so it will depend how I feel in the morning, as to what DVD I put in, lol! tomorrow is my day to work out with my…

Done! :) Thanks!!

This is how I understand it too. I am doing the C25K program right now. I am due to start my 4th week. I don't think I could have started out running 5 minutes my first time out. I have completed a round of Insanity, so i am not totally out of shape. Still doing the Insanity workouts daily, just not following the calendar.…

I do Insanity, I just finished the first round, now I just pick a DVD from the "book" and push play. I workout at 5:30 AM. I also run/walk on T-W-Th while my daughter is at soccer practice. That helps when I know I have gone over on my calories. :ohwell: I also try to get to a Muscle Fusion class on M/W right after work.…

I agree!! I know I needed the recovery this morning, though. I have been pushing myself, when the recovery day comes along, I just say "oh, I can just do pure cardio" or whatever DVD stikes my fancy. Feel like I am slacking when I do the recovery days, lol!! I have also been doing C25K in the evenings when my daughter is…
