^^^ :happy: OH-IO ...whoo hoo ....Ohio here too!!! Go Bucks!! Can't wait to see how this season pans out. Hoping for a much better season this year. :wink:

Love this ^^^^^

My collar bones became visible (see ticker :happy: ) ....wedding rings keep sliding around, workout pants won't stay up during Insanity, too much room in my bras. All great things though! :happy:

You all are such an inspiration. Tried posting my pics but I have a hard time remembering. lol Oh well.

Wow!! You look amazing!! Such an inspiration for everyone on here. No need to be nervous about your bikini pic at all. Keep it up. Pics definitely say a thousand words. :smile:

:smile: I think you're doing fine. You'll definitely see a difference when you start Insanity. It not only incorporates cardio but strength training as well ...it's tough but stick with it and you'll see amazing results. I'm half way through week 4. You can do it.

Yeah, it works wonders. I did the famous Atkins Diet and lost a great deal of weight. Cutting out carbs def helps in dropping pounds. It's actually not that difficult to do but your fat intake does become higher....so not sure how healthy I'd consider that either. One way I noticed when I hit the ketosis stage was bad…

Serendipity ~ :flowerforyou: :heart:

I'm a morning person, so it's not that bad for me. Every morning my morning exercise consists of my mini stepper...I'm addicted to it. I bought it at Walmart. It's made by Gold's Gym. I do it while I get ready in front of the mirror while putting on my makeup and blow drying/curling my hair, etc. I can burn over 100…

Awe, how cute!!! That's so bitter sweet!! :smile: Way to go!!! That has to make you feel amazing. :flowerforyou:

I turn my HRM off after I'm done w/ my cool down/stretching. If I'm wearing it during heavy cleaning, I turn it off as soon as I finish. Just depends on what I'm doing. Don't feel silly, not a dumb question to ask. We're all here for support. :wink:

Great job!!! You look fantastic and I completely agree...pictures say so much more than the scale and give you so much more motivation to keep at it. Before Now

^^^^This ....Love mine!! :)

:happy: Baby- Nice smile Tara- You like highlights

GC - Built!

Leah - beautiful and amazing teeth!! :smile:

^^^This^^^^ lol :laugh:

I was going to say the same thing about trying to get him to exercise with you. Don't give in to his insecurities. :wink: Eventually he'll see how much you're doing all of it for yourself and your health without neglecting him. Then maybe it will give him inspiration to start with you. :happy:

That's my text message notification sound right now...lol

I say no shoes!! I am doing Insanity....tried starting out with shoes but there is so many up and down moves that I slipped right out of them and then my socks were so slippery on my carpet it nearly gave me carpet burn on my face while sprinting in plank position. LOL So I said forget it... I've gone barefoot ever since!!…

Awesome!!!!! You are such a motivation!! My husband and I started Insanity on Monday, June 11th......he took before pics of me. If I get those results in two weeks I would die!!! Congrats. Just think how awesome you're going to look on day 60!!! :happy:

Most annoying (other than needing new clothes all the time....seriously thinking of checking out thrift stores until I hit my goal weight due to the expense of it all) .......my workout clothes...mainly bottoms won't stay up. One time I had to yell for my husband to come grab my shorts because they were litterally almost…

One can hope ...they say girls mature faster than boys .....I guess not in this case!

What bothers me is when "18" year olds that probably live with there parents still haven't even experienced cleaning up after a whole household!!! I log my cleaning on my serious cleaning days when it takes me literally 2.5 hours to clean my 2 story house top to bottom. This weekend I'll use my HRM to show exactly how much…

All me. One has some family members in it. :happy:

Everyone needs a break right??? :bigsmile: Just hope they don't ever block this site ....well then I guess I'd just use my phone, so never mind. LOL :laugh:

I've sent you a friend request, so you can see my food diary and pics..probably easier that way anyway. :wink:

Yes, I am still doing it. I have been for almost a month now but I had to take about a week off due to getting a really bad sinus infection/cold. Took pics. Huge difference. If I knew how to put pics in here I'd show you how it got rid of my back fat. :smile:

Terrie, you are a great mother and wife .....who works her toosh off for her family!! Don't worry about what others say. I agree, whoever made that comment must be jealous they can't get that much exercise done in one day. Shoot, I envy you for that. My mom was a SAHM and now babysits my son.....there isn't a harder job…

Not me, that's for sure! A lot of people think you have to lose weight so super slow to keep it off though and to me that's just false. It's all about lifestyle change. That's where people fail. When they lose the weight they don't stick to working out and watching what they eat.
