I would recommend a strength training program instead, coupled with diet so you will keep your muscle as you lose weight. I did Insanity twice, and I wish I would have lifted weights instead...I didn't learn about weights until after the fact. MUCH MUCH easier and easier on your body with great results!! I bought a used…

I am so happy for you and proud of you!!! How inspiring!!

Ashley, can you post your recipe for the chicken avocado burgers please?

Glad you had a fun bday! Cute picture! Bronze for me again. I'm so irritated with myself. I just can't handle weekends. I help up so well Friday night and Saturday day...then Saturday night came and I was very into ice cream. :) And last night there was an incident with cupcakes. I'm giving myself an October challenge to…

Beautiful pictures!!! I've never even tried to post pics, so I'm sure I'd have trouble too. ;) Now I can ask you if I ever try.

shock absorber is awesome!! i'm a 30 DDD and it keeps 'em still. i use the run bra.

Shanber, I cannot even IMAGINE a 10 hour conference call. I have trouble sitting through 1 hour!! Hopefully it's just phone (not video) so you can get up and move around while listening. Chloe, glad you picked sleep over workout today. You'll need the rest if you're getting sick next. ;) My kids haven't been sick yet this…

Oh, Chloe, those days after you've been up all night with a baby are so hard!!!! Thinking of you and hoping you make it through the day okay.

PS, why is it that I start each day ready to lean out and get my body fat % down...then 4:00 comes around and suddenly I'm perfectly happy with the way my body is????? I'm never going to progress if I eat the house after work!!!!! I'm thinking I may need to only eat meals?

I'm moving in the wrong direction on the star chart. ;) Amy, if you're looking for a yummy meatless dinner, here's a link to a tofu taco recipe...my husband isn't a tofu fan but he LOVED this. We make it regularly now. Very good!! http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/supercrunch-tofu-tacos-50400000127536/ And Shana, congrats on…

TRIPLETS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I'll friend you both now. Hahaha.

The enchiladas sound great!! Thanks! I'll definitely try them! Also curious how the bacon chowder (or whatever) turns out!! Super job on your 5K, Chloe!! My goals for the week (yes, the first 2 are the same as always...can anyone guess what my problems are??? lol) 1) no eating after dinner (with the exception of air-popped…

I need to catch up on reading about what all of you awesome people have been up to! Last week was so crazy. Bronze star for me...BUT I am being nice to myself about it since I really did have a crazy week and the stress could have made it even worse. Happy Monday!! :)

Silver for me. Hoping for platinum this time around. Great run in the heat, Shan!!! Weekly goals... 1) no eating after dinner 2) no kid or husband snacks 3) eat like a "normal" person

What am I doing to get fit... 3xs week lifting 3xs week hill sprints walking at lunch 1-2 3 mile runs Weekend prep...enjoy myself, eat a little more than during the week, DON'T eat after dinner. Actually the emphasis should be on eat...because I will be having a few drinks. :) Happy Friday, everyone!

I did it! First night in a while that I didn't eat after dinner!! :)

Thanks for letting me crash your party! For 2 weeks starting tomorrow (unless you do it weekly?)...I've got two major goals. 1. no eating after dinner!! 2. No eating my kids' snacks. The exercise part is easy for me. The eating part, not so much!

Hi, everyone! I'm Kate and I just found your group...and I've read some posts and I think I'm in love. Do you have room for one more in your challenges?? I tried to go back far enough to see what the stars are but I gave up. :) I love challenges and I will love having friends with similar interests/goals on here! I feel…

I'm interested. Thanks!!

Lol. There are 2 different Ariels! I know because it bothered me SO MUCH that I googled it and I had to dig pretty far to figure it out. How in the world ARE there 2 Ariels though?? What an unusual name to show up twice!!

guess i should actually click on the quote button. ;) Tree, you are so awesome and smart and make so much sense!! I'm so glad we're already friends!

When I binge, I typically alternate between salty and sweet, salty and sweet, salty and sweet. The only thing that stops me is going to bed. Usually I can hold off a binge until late afternoon, then it's a free-for-all. Mine are usually around 3000 calories. Totally different from overeating, which is when I am in a normal…

DEFINITELY high impact on knees. Lots and lots of jumping. :(

I agree with previous posters who said it will put you to sleep...maybe try claritin or something else instead? But not benadryl...that would be one slooooooooooow run. :)

I think that if you can't bring enough to share (I usually make something healthy to share and then have mostly mine, but a little of the other stuff) then you should just eat before you go and eat a little of what they offer you. I agree it's only one day. Either lie and say your stomach is acting weird or tell the truth…

I could have written your post!! Weekends are so great...but so awful. I've recently given up eating (not drinking, haha) after dinner which has helped so much. I can do some serious damage snacking after dinner, so this has at least kept the amount of damage I can do under control. I'm also trying to stick to 3 meals on…

I always like to add new friends who struggle with binging. If you don't do it, you don't understand. :( Adding some of you! And anyone who wants to please add me!

I would also add...Do you work out at home? Do a quick chore in between sets...I fold laundry, do dishes, pack lunches, etc...and it's actually a good use of time! Lol.

Very interested. Thanks!!
