You have to live your life, if you feel like you are suffering through than you will never complete what you came here for. Go on vacation and have fun! Be aware of what good choices are and do your very best to adhere to them. If you get back and the next Insanity kicks your booty out of town then start over, if it…

Awesome, thanks!

I know this may not be the best answer the motivate you daily but.... Every day you work out your body thanks you. Whether it lets go of pounds or inches, it thanks you for thinking about it and making it healthier. Every day you work out your family thanks you, because the healthier your insides are the longer you will be…

I do Insanity and it makes you HUNGRY but it makes you SWEAT even more! I think it is worth it. I do it with two other people and we cheer each other on and keep each other accountable (it's so easy to sit down and watch them instead of do what you are supposed too when you are home alone :tongue: ) Do it and love it, it's…

We are like that, too. We don't keep anything "bad" in the house. I will say that, for me, it is best to have one, if I want, when I am out. For me, not having to give everything up forever takes the frantic pressure off. I know I shouldn't eat poorly, so I don't, 80% of the time, or any time my meal comes from somewhere…

I'm an instructor...I don't need to tell you that you will love it as everyone else already has :) Make sure any time you are asked to squat you can still see your toes past your knees...also that your knee cap is even with your second toe (so you have a wide stance and feel most of the pressure in your heels). This will…

i think i like the matching better than the black. and you can def rock it!

There are plenty of people on here who weigh or have weighed that much! You have come to the right place and we cant WAIT to see your progress pics to be proud of you. Please take some now, even though you may not want to. We LOVE seeing big successes! It drives us all to be better and stronger. At 400 pounds you have the…

1. his "boobies" are smaller 2. His arms up around the arm pit are smaller 3. He lost his back fat and 4. Sorry these are girlie answers, men don't have boobies and back fat :laugh:

These are legit fears....after fading into the background for however many years it can be terrifying feeling like you are front and center. If you are a good person now, funny and light hearted etc., you will continue to be that person, if people wanna be catty because you are hot they will lose their clout when you turn…

HUGE difference! Great job and keep up the good work! :noway: Shocked face :)

I am 196....size 14 pants and a med or lg top depending on the brand...would like to get to a single digit size and medium tops...weight is less of an issue but id like to see what happens around 155 and go from there :)

you don't look like mid 200s to me either, i would put you on the door of 200 maybe 190 or so. That said...maybe you need to lose less than many people who weigh 240. I wouldn't give you a goal weight...maybe a goal size or an aerobic goal...like i can run this long or climb his many stairs etc.

I'm always pround to see overwieght people running, It shows anyone that said person is active and willing to do things outside. I am heavy and a SLOW runner. I used to run in the mornings because I am a teacher in a small town and I didn't want my students to see me...how embarrassing!! turns out almost everyday one of my…

freshman 15 sucks. we've all been there. it may be from drinking more than from her food. or a combination of what she eats when she drinks. when the rest of her friends are gaining the weight, it doesn't seem as bad. it took my friends and i until our jr years to stop being idiots and remember to work out again. you can…

i'm sure you look much different to someone who doesn't know you! We won't be looking at those spots YOU know you still need to work on...we will see a change, even if you don't. We are often our worst critic. Make sure it forces you to keep working hard and NEVER let yourself think that there is no change so you should…

I teach Zumba, and trust me, most people don't do it well. We were not born knowing how to do things, especially things that make us move our hips so much! Just go out there and have fun! There have been times where I want to giggle at the people I teach, but that just makes me glad that they are there. I have found that…

if you are lifitng, make sure you work on your biceps AS WELL as triceps...many people think tricep work alone with get rid of your "Ciao-ito" but without a bicep to pull up you wont get far. back boobs...like under the bra around the ribs? stuff that works your rear delts...pulling the bar down to your chest and seated…

look at that waist!!! great job!

We are SUPER close. I am 27 and 5'6". Started at 203. want to get to 155 or so. Feel free to add me if you would like!

I don't know what your life consists of but these are some things my conditioning coordinator told me where I work (at a school): run around your desk before/after every piece of work you do...do leg lifts between meetings. stand up when you are on the phone. take the stairs, pick your kids up like you are in the…

you look DAMN good!

me too! I find that my fat intake goes up quite a bit over the weekend. I think I am eating okay, but since I am eating chicken at Chili's instead of at home, it is packed with fat. I am trying to be realistic with what I do. I can't work out 4 hours a day for the rest of my life, or never eat out again. But on weekends…

great job! you look really pretty on top of looking so much healthier! -Andrea
