Day 20! Hm, still managing to be lower carb and still finding that I don't feel like inhaling lots of crunchy, salty snacks in the evening. I do miss bread. I am getting a little bored in the evenings, however, as I would love nothing more than to tuck into a big bowl of popcorn (homemade, always). However, that would blow…

Day 14. Going well. another low-carb week went by and I did fine. Didn't have horrible munchies in the evenings, stuck to the overall daily calorie count. When I look at the carb/fat/protein/fiber breakdown each evening, it's interesting to me that I'm eating much more fat, hitting (and going over) my fiber number, but not…

Day 9, back from long beach weekend. Didn't do too bad with eating...definitely ate more at each meal than I would normally, but no snacking in between meals, which is part of my normal habit. All in all, I could have been more disciplined, but I did a good job with no completely going overboard. This week, back to…

Day 4 and the wheels haven't come off. The low-carb slant is going well, I don't feel hungry, though I do feel a little bloated and sluggish...part of that is probably because it's almost my time of the month, another part is that I need to do a better job of going to sleep when I am tired and not reading on my iPad for…

Day 3 and I'm feeling full, feeling satisfied. I am trying not to get too worked up or anxious ahead of this weekend's trip. I won't be able to cook my own food, but I can stick to vegetables and fish. Just have to keep my mind focused on the ultimate goal and also on how much it sucks to work so hard on some days to throw…

I'm going to focus on low-carbing it this week, leading up to a long weekend at the beach. I have not been eating a lot of meat, getting most of my protein from beans and cheese. I've been feeling kind of bloated, however. I think I'm going to switch it up this week and get more animal protein through eating chicken,…

I'm in! Recently, have fallen off the wagon...giving in to temptation left and right! I would love to shed 8-10 pounds by August 1. It's a real struggle for me to not binge Friday through Sunday. Going to work this week to focus on higher protein, higher fiber, lower carbs. Heading on a long weekend getaway over the coming…

I'll check it out! Thanks for sharing the info.

I wish I knew! I lost about 25 pounds and then have been kind of stuck where I am for the last year or so. I would like to lose ten pounds, but would be happy with half of that, to really get to where I feel most comfortable body-wise. I've started working out less, but focusing on more intensity and interval training…

I'm so totally in. Need to recharge my motivation and get my head back in the game. Question: do we post our numbers here or do we add all those interested as friends and let the MFP check-in let us know how people are doing?

I'm planning to start the July calendar on Monday and I'm really excited. I'm new to Blogilates and I think Cassey's energy is very genuine and infectious!

I would love to know a bit more about how you are liking the workouts. I'm looking to change it up a bit and have done some of her DVDs before.

I LOVED Insanity but also found that I didn't really see the physical/visible results I expected...and I brought it hard from the first day until the last day. I felt tighter after Insanity, but was at a weight plateau pretty much the entire time despite eating a solid amount/day, good protein, lots of water. That being…

Just received and tried Skogg Kettlebell DVDs. Thus far, really like them! Good focus on instruction and proper form, workouts are focused, not a lot of wasted time.

Did my first Skogg kettlebell workout today with one of his 8kg/18lb kettlebells. Really nice. Still feel buzzed! in terms of a weekly schedule, I think i'll do the workouts on strength days, either by themselves or as an add-on to another strength-focused workout. Non-kettlebell days will be cardio workouts and/or yoga.…

I'm interested in this one as well! I am waiting for the Skogg Kettlebell DVD system and an 18-pound kettlebell that I ordered a little while ago. I've read really great things about kettlebell workouts online, generally speaking, and would like to hear others' experiences on here! Mainly, if you do kettlebell workouts,…

I use Mon-Fri menus, for sake of time and also b/c it relieves me of having to figure out what to eat for lunch/dinner during the week (both for myself and for family). So, I generally eat the same thing for lunch during the week and it's something I prepare and then freeze on Sunday. Dinner is diff every night, but the…

I just did Fit Test #3 yesterday and am super amped to see that I am still improving. The most important thing is to keep pressing play and to keep moving, even if you can't keep up with Shaun T and his crew. I'm starting Month 2 tomorrow and love it! I think it's a good fit for me because just when I feel like I am about…

I'm 35, married, have a 3.5 year old son. I'm currently making my way through Insanity...which has been really fun. Please do add me, if you would like! I really enjoy MFP and the active/passive support the community provides!! Good luck!!

I allow for serious indulgences over the weekends...usually Friday dinner (though, it's all homemade...but, usually pizza or a heavier preparation of fish)...Sat/Sun, I allow myself more simple carbs, i.e. homemade cookies, cakes, breads! I stick to eating well and under my daily calorie goals during the week, so I view it…

I am an AM exerciser...typically wake up at 5:00AM, workout, shower, get dressed, and then eat breakfast at about 7:30AM. I wouldn't be able to eat anything at 5:00AM, b/c my stomach and digestive system do not seem ready to take in anything. I drink water and tea, however. Maybe just eat a couple of crackers or a few nuts…

nicely done! one can definitely see a change in the "after" photo. definitely looks like you've lost tons of inches and 25 pounds over the past year. losing weight is so hard...not at all just as easy as "eat less, exercise more". ;-) stay motivated and good luck over the next months.

I like the idea of a small group for those who started today and would like to keep each other posted over the next weeks.

Ha! I just bought Insanity today and also plan to start on Monday! I've been going back and forth about it given how physically high-intensity it is (I have a bad back and a bad knee) and also how much I enjoy doing my own rotation of videos/trainers. That being said, Shaun T. really comes across as a fun and supportive…
