umm...OK alcohol isn't good for you but I don't think when someone posts a question wanting to know some healthier low cal drinks that they need a lecture about how bad it is to drink and that they shouldn't drink. We are all adults here and people can make their own choices so maybe responding with an answer that would…

Hahah Sabers fan- COULDN'T AGREE MORE! By the way- I am from Olean New York so I am a pretty big sabers fan myself. They were lookin good for awhile... Back to INSANITY. Good job peachtree! I am really, REALLY nervous about the max stuff but also am getting a little excited. I started recovery week today. EEK! I dunno…

Good job! I've never done the 30 day shred-how is it? Who does it? Whats it like!? I am doing INSANITY right now and it is ridiculously hard-but so far I feel great and have lost almost 10 lbs! Keep up the good work! That is amazing results in such a short period of time!

I am 5'3, at my heaviest I got to 175 and had BIG C's. Every lady in my family is overweight-my mom's side is ALL overweight and they all have DD's or bigger! When I was younger I had NO BOOBS-i was VERY athletic. Well when I gained weight that was the only thing I liked about my body-then I lost 50 pounds and the boobs…

I am struggling with this as well. I live in Vegas so its pretty damn hard not to go out a lot. When I do go out now- I do (as others said) drink a lot of water when I am drinking. Also, I choose better drinks. A good brand vodka is almost tasteless, so I drink Ketel 1 (around 67 cal) and soda water (which has zero…

And since we are on this topic- are fresh fruits and veggies better if the tupperware is sealed? OR should I leave the lid off? I am never sure how to store them, like I will cut up broccoli crowns and I don't know if its better to let them "breathe" or to have them in a closed tupperware container. Is it different for…

SUCH A GREAT IDEA! I always try to make salads and healthy meals to take with me, and whenever I have too much I put it in tupperware and leave it in the fridge. When I come home I always am hungry and when it is sitting right there- I grab it and have a healthy meal. When I have to cut and wash and chop-I will sometimes…

Hahahha meee toooooo!

KJASBFKLJABDIUGBAJTGASIUJBFAJKTGLAJKTB!!!!!!!!!! I just watched the "Asylum" trailer type video online. WTF HOLY F SON OF A *kitten*! That looks RIDICULOUS! Tonya was in there, as was the blonde lady and the brunette "who never wore a sports bra before insanity!" and they are all EVEN MORE RIPPED! That is ridiculous. There…

I glanced at your diary- watch out for sodium and sugar. Sugar is a big enemy-it can make your insulin levels spike and stop the fat burning process. Sodium makes us retain water-so it might be water weight that you aren't losing. Try a few days of all non-processed foods, just fruits, veggies, and lean protein like…

Year old running shoes are probably completely broken down by now. Shoes only have a certain amount of "milage" until they start to stop doing what they are supposed to do-support and stabilize your foot, ankle, and leg. They lose shock absorption the more you wear them which leads to a lot more stress on your foot and…

Hello! As far as having a strong core- Yes its important. But don't forget to include that abs are sexy on anyone! :) Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like!

hellllllllllo

Peachtree- GOOD JOB! Keep it up girl, I know it sucks and I know its hard and I KNOW McDonald's sounds so much better than cod, but keep sticking with it! You already have come so far and congratulations for getting back up and finishing the workout! You are really motivating me and I appreciate it so keep it going! I…

Congrats on the pants falling down! SUCH A GOOD FEELING! I got to where I was miserable every time I went shopping because it seemed like I always had to go a size up, and when I lost the 50lbs I was ECSTATIC to go shopping because I had to keep doing down sizes! I finally realized I shouldn't buy clothes for a while until…

lol no one...just dont want to fall back into my old ways. [/quote] Haha yeah that was just for fun, but I completely understand. Like I said, I wasn't eating them back and my weight loss slowed WAY down, and when I started eating more, I started losing again. Weird how it works but it does work. Good luck! And nice burn!

If you don't your body will go into starvation mode and store your food as fat. It is a basic instinct to try and "save" you if it thinks you aren't eating enough. It really is not a good idea to not eat them back. I was losing steadily and when I started upping my workouts and burning more calories, I decided I didn't…

Um ok and sorry for the NOVEL i just wrote! JEEZ.:happy:

Hahhahahaha ok when Stooo makes his Insanity shirts I'll just have him make a couple "wastey faced" ones. Man but i WAS wastey faced! It means VERY drunk. :) And yeah, even though I've DONE month two-I AM STILL SCARED. Stoo-I feel ya on that, I mean I've completed up to day 50-something and then moved so I didn't go all 60…

I am definitely going to come back to this because it is all of the things I know-but sometimes its easy to lose sight of! Great post! I love that you type like a normal person-not like an instruction booklet. :) And hell yea to green tea- I looooove it! And to the added part: good point! You MUST feel good about yourself…

Hello! Congratulations on taking a step to live a healthier life-you've already accomplished something by just setting your mind to get into shape! This site helps with motivation and also you can find a lot of great advice to help aid in your goals. There are a lot of success stories that can help motivate you! I do…

You came to the right place!! There are always tons of places on MFP to find support, motivation, and great advice. I am gaining knowledge to help me be the healthiest I can without any dangerous diets/fads to follow. Everyone around here is very supportive and it definitely gives me more of a drive to do the best that I…

This is true as well. Fresh fish won't have a smell (other than smelling similar to the ocean) but it won't be strong or offensive. I do understand what you mean though- salmon is a stronger tasting fish than some. Cod is very oily-therefore can be stronger tasting. Sole, Halibut, Chilean Sea Bass, Tilapia, Mahi-Mahi = all…

I work at a seafood restaurant, and whenever people say they don't like "fishy" fish, I usually recommend Sole. It is a white, moist, medium flake fish that is similar to Tilapia. A lot of people enjoy it and it doesn't have a strong taste. Me, on the other hand, love ALL fish! Hamachi is one of my faves as is Ahi Tuna.…

DEFINITELY! I got a timex from Amazon, it is GREAT. It also helps me work out harder, I usually up my speed when walking when I see that my heart rate is lower than I want it to be. Bottom line-they track YOUR calories, at YOUR pace, by reading YOUR heart. It just makes sense to invest in it if you are serious about…

I have this same problem. It is easy to eat 1200 of healthy calories, but harder to eat any more than that. I could definitely eat over 1200 UNHEALTHY calories, but that really isn't the point. I have been trying to eat more whole grain/whole wheat items, they are usually higher in calories but also higher in nutrition. 12…

LOL! I would definitely buy that shirt!!! Let me know if you get it approved. :) And thanks! I knew I would be mad if I didn't do it, and I knew I would feel 10 times better after I worked out. Thats the problem-if I am hungover, I know that if I sweat it out I feel a LOT better, but getting through a workout like Insanity…

hahahahahahahah @ all of these answers.

Of course there are! First off you can get great advice on what to eat /what not to by someone examining your diary. Second off-it might help with the "pressure." I mean to me I don't want to eat 1200 calories of chocolate in one day-and I especially don't want people to know that I did! So it can help to keep your diet…

Hahahaha me too! I was like OUCH DAMN thats hardcore! And seriously-sounds way sketchy. How about just dieting and exercise? I mean whatever you have to inject into your body to lose weight sounds pretty dangerous to me, especially if its a tape worm. :)
