I really haven't read a book in awhile which isn't like me, but my friend suggested The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, I just bought it and want to start reading it today. I am looking for some new suggestions after this, what do you suggest?

Damn! Good job!! That is a huge transformation and you look great! I really want to try asylum now lol! Your insanity shirt doesn't even look as soaked as mine gets while I do it haha. I don't think i've ever sweat as much as I do when I am doing insanity...ever. But I love it and it looks like its done you well! Awesome…

I really want to do Asylum after I finish this round of INSANITY. I don't think I'll get tired of Shaun T-its kind of weird, I actually missed his support whenever I wasn't doing INSANITY...but maybe I am just weird. I've actually heard that Tony can be realllly annoying and I have a lot of friends who mute the tv and turn…

Hahhaha I totally understand where you are coming from! Whenever Shaun T says "dig deeper" when I am dying and getting to that crazy point, I start yelling at the screen "I AM DIGGING DEEPER YOU A**HOLE WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE!!" hahah and everyone around me just thinks I've totally lost it. :) Guess thats why its called…

Thank you for all the responses. I want to know as much as I can before diving headfirst into this like I did before (and ended up getting very frustrated). eyecanseeyou- No from what I read I would not eat any animal products-mean, cheese, dairy, anything. I am not a vegetarian so yes this will be tough but I want to try…

There are a lot of cheap nutritional foods. Just load up on fruits and veggies (most things like apples, broccoli, onions, tomatoes aren't very expensive) and cheap lean meats, like a bag of frozen chicken breasts or canned tuna. Avoid foods like ramen or other cheap meal ideas because they are way bad for you and usually…

Hahah exactly. When I see them stumble off to go grab water it just reinstates that we all need breaks and we are all on the same page, even if they are in WAY better shape than i am! Nisha- TOTALLY understand. Hate it during, love it after. And sammypacks: I think I have a crush on Shaun T. Hahaha even though someone once…

Definitely just bookmarked it! Thanks!!

I am the same way! Plus watching the people in the back who take breaks really helps me, most workout videos just have people who NEVER stop and I like knowing that they are having a tough time too! WHen I can keep going while they are in "child pose" makes me push harder. Its a lot of tricks like that that keep me…

Omg i know that feeling exactly! I reached a size 12 and was at around 175 (I am 5'3 so it was A LOT OF WEIGHT.) I had been active my entire life but after high school I just kept eating whatever I wanted and being completely lazy, when I realized I was a size 12! I started bawling at the dressing room. I remember after…

Hahah i know! I don't think I've EVER seen abs as ripped as that on a girl before! I don't know if I would want mine to be that extreme but hey, if they half resembled hers I would be a very happy girl. :) So I am thinking of starting the workouts, you should too?

Also, anyone doing INSANITY you should post your fit test results! I am curious to know where I stand. There are a couple times i've beat Tonya's number and it makes me really happy lol. Ok so here is mine from the last time I did INSANITY (which was a month ago) and then the results from yesterday. Final Fit Test 6/8/11…

Aww that is awesome! Whenever I am running and someone yells at me (and half the time I think its creepy old men or maybe just kids being rude) I still take it as a sign of improvement and it pushes me to go harder lol! I think I had heard some girl say go faster one time and she sounded like it was a snobby remark but to…

I just know her abs are RIPPED and I want mine to look half as good as that!!!

What is convict conditioning?

That is awesome. You are really making me want to try asylum! I think after this round of INSANITY I will be ready. I just want to make sure I am doing them 100% because as soon as I was completing each workout full out I had my vacation (and I was camping so no INSANITY there) which totally threw me off track. Thanks for…

I do need to get more workout equipment...it was actually why I chose INSANITY over p90x to begin with-I like the idea of only using body weight and I don't really know what to look for as far as bands/dumbbells/medicine ball what not. I have only done body workouts (running/cycling/calisthenics) so when it comes to…

I totally understand about the scale thing. I want to be around 120 but I am currently at 135 (its usually 130 but every day is different) but I can tell a difference in my muscle definition and the way my clothes fit. If I only paid attention the the scale I would be depressed but when you are putting on muscle and…

I enjoy working out too! My weakness is food and alcohol lol. I can work my *kitten* off all day but then when it comes to eating and drinking I can blow all of the hard work. Welcome to MFP! I have the app on my iphone and love it, it makes tracking calories so easy. This site is also really great, there is tons of…

OOH I wanna try asylum when I am done with this round of INSANITY but it looks ridiculous. LIke seriously ridiculous.

Wow you are all impressive!! I have never tried p90x but I am in LOVE with INSANITY! For some reason it is the first workout that I actually enjoy doing (maybe not during) but when I am done I feel so accomplished...and SO disgustingly sweaty lol. I've never felt like I push myself as hard as I do in INSANITY. Like when I…

Thanks for all the help guys! I have been pretty good with eating healthy but I have never gone camping while trying to watch what I eat so this is a different thing for me. The canned food sounds like a good idea, I fill up easily on cannelini beans and don't mind then cold. Also the trail mix is a good idea, I've been…

I love tuna! I make spicy tuna all the time. I use greek yogurt as a sub for mayo-tons of protein and no fat! I mix the yogurt with siracha (chili sauce-very spicy) and then add the tuna. I mix it all together and put it on toasted wheat sandwich rounds with tomato and it is DELISH! I think I might be having that for…

:) Thanks!! I could eat ahi tuna every day (if I could afford it lol) I got this tuna steak at whole foods market, so it was never frozen and was absolutely delicious. I can't believe something so delicious is also healthy!

Seared Ahi Salad! My favorite. Black pepper and sesame coated ahi, seared rare on a bed of mixed greens, arugula, mini heirloom tomatoes, and grilled bell peppers. Delicious!

I am on my last few days of INSANITY and I LOVE IT! It is so challenging-but I have lost inches and feel so much better. I started at 142lbs and although I didn't take measurements, I was pretty soft around the stomach area. Now I am at 134, and my abs are actually showing. If I had followed the diet plan I am sure I would…

NICE JOB CASEY! I totally feel ya on the personal victories-each time I can go down a little further on my push ups and now I can get through the crazy 16-in-a-row on the max plyo video. I can't wait for you to see the broncho jumps-they are ridiculous! Hahah. And I totally agree with you on how we should all feel proud of…

I am ALMOST THERE. And.....I think I am going to miss Shaun T when this is done. I was thinking about the fact that when he says things like "dig deeper" or there is one where he says something like "if you are taking a break get back into it" it actually DOES help me keep going. I look at the people in the DVD who are…

Peachtree: I am on my last week now!!! I leave for my vacation in one week exactly and I am leaving one day sooner than the 60th day-but I am either going to try to squeeze in two workouts in one day (one early and one late) and then do the fit test before I am dropped off at the airport. I REALLY want to be able to say I…

Ahh congratulations you two! I am jealous! CASEY we got this! I missed my workout Sunday but then decided to just keep going on monday with it and not take a day off (monday will be my day off.) I AM SO EXCITED TO BE THIS CLOSE! And peachtree: let me know how asylum is! I want it!
