Love p90x, have heard great things about Insanity. this is what I've heard: P90X=strength and cardio Insanity=endurance and cardio P90X=more muscle to burn more cals during day Insanity=ability to workout longer=more cals burned in workout. Join FB group.... lots of peeps there use both and can tell you more.

Welcome to the family. I'll give ya a friend request, and anyone else feel free to add me as well.

Don't just 'stay under 1200 cal' be sure the food you eat is not junk. When I first started, i had a hard time staying within my guidelines, but once I conquered that, i realized I was eating the wrong kind of stuff. Also it took a LOOOOONG time for me to see results. Don't get discouraged if the scale doesn't move for a…

Our family favorite (and do mean FAVORITE) is chicken pesole. Chicken broth (fat free) 3 cans (or 45 oz) White hominy 2 cans (rinsed and drained) Onions - slightly browned before adding to broth chicken (or tofu) 8 oz -brown and drain- shred with forks Add all above ingredients together and simmer for at least 15 mins Cut…

*raises hand* I am I am! anyone feel free to add me. Just put in a few details about yourself please. We can do this, we can do this * repeat*

Wonderful words! I'ma gonna add YOU~ as a friend. This is the attitude we need here on MFP. Thanks for posting.

*giggle*

WELCOME! Love MFP, been here for close to a year now. Hope you stick with it, and to help keep you accountable add me :D

GRRRRR YES!!! About 4 days before my 'friend' comes I bloat up almost a dress size, or about 5lbs. It leaves about 1 day after ~she~ leaves. I hate hate hate it! I never did this until i had kids. When I started tracking my weight/food/exercise I thought the gain was because of my diet. But after several 'rounds' I realize…

ABout to finish P90X! Love love the program! Congrats on your dedication.... the results are pretty awesome too ;)

Awesome!! Great job!

Great motivation! Love her smile, and her abs, and her legs and her.... I could go on and on. wow, she is fabulous.

Kinda off topic, but is P90X listed in the data base for exercise on MFP? I can't seem to find it...

5'7" Starting weight of 180 goal of 140ish or comfortable size 5. I have a BIG butt. I currently wear a medium (and sometimes small) shirts, my waist is 33-34 inches, but I have to wear a size 8-10 pant for them to fit my butt and thighs :blushing:

Hmmm I don't go to gyms very often, but there are a few.... Guys who do stupid weighted moves that only make em 'look' good in a shirt... and nothing else Girls who won't work hard enough to break a sweat Old ladies in the locker room who have little to no modesty/decorum etc (young ladies too) Old men who hit on…

I am the subject of "I like big butts" She's got like a rap girlfriends butt..... it's like....huge.... and out there....

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA Love this!

I will want a treat, I will get it out and read the nutrition facts. If I still want it, I drink a glass of water and actually set out a timer (10 mins) and if I still want it then I eat it (but only the one). I know what you mean, I don't buy or want that stuff in my house, but it ends up there from gifts, husband getting…

You should be soooo proud!!! What a great job, and you look fabulous :D Well done!

You can do knee raises (while holding yourself up on a dip station). Edge of the chair/couch/bed leg pull ins. Various leg lifts (for the lower ABS) And plank poses (there are many variations) for extended holds.... Good luck

LOL love this, all are so true!!

I read the whole thing.... but it was info over load. Not sure all the info was correct, but some good points in there (amongst all of that)

Whoot! Be proud girl, that took time, effort, blood sweat and tears. Great job :D

I have only been on here about 1 week, but have been on the diet, calorie counting, exercising, logging it all for months (almost 1 year). I wish I knew back then: It ALL adds up... (the good and the bad) Surround yourself with ppl with common goals. (Peer pressure works for good too) Don't JUMP off the wagon when you…

Oh goodness.... I love my carbs too. I have over the past few months began weeding it out of my diet, but can't let go entirely. I love my meat though and so with that protein I get a lot of 'fullness' in my diet. I found that it helps to use the natural carbs (fruits, veggies), then if I must indulge I'll have some whole…

Most of us need approx 2100 calories a day to maintain our weight. MFP says eat only 1200 calories making a deficit of 800 calories a day. When you workout you are burning up even more calories making an even larger deficit. If the deficit is too large your body will go into 'starvation mode' and hold on to all the weight…

Lucky lucky you!! Very much the exception, and glad you're not complaining. Once explanation would be your cup size is based on the difference between your rib cage measurement (38-36 in your case) and the measurement over the top of the breasts (under arm pits, over the upper part). It seems you lost your 'back fat' and…

WElcome to this awesome site. I wish you the best and feel free to add me if you like, I just started on here about a week ago, but have been on the healthy path for awhile now and love it (though I wish I saw more results). Mom of 3 here and 40ish lbs to lose :D
