If you are not hungry at all, don't eat them. Tomorrow try to ration better. I am one who eats most of my exercise calories, but it's certainly not going to hurt you to let the calories go this time. I would hate to force it if I was feeling bloated already! I actually go under my calories some days and over other days.…

I run a business out of my home, making baby bibs and burp cloths - www.babysophiagifts.com. Anything to stay home with my kids! Before that I was a website designer.

LOL Jeran. I actually saw someone write yesterday that "a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat". Word for word.

If you can I would get some 5 pound hand weights as well. I use 3 lbs for some of the exercises (shoulder work is torture for me!!) but once you get going you'll probably want to move up on at least a few of the exercises (the chest flys come to mind). I love love love this DVD - good luck!! Jennifer

When my husband (who is thin as a rail but has a terrible family history of heart disease) complains that he can't exercise much because his knee hurts, when I'm the one who has had 3 ACL resconstructions and arthritis in my left knee and am on week 3 of Insanity. Get on the bike, or elliptical DEAR!!!

I log it in as circuit training for 20 minutes.

Thanks. I only wrote that about being depressed because it was an overall feeling I got reading the entire post. I didn't mean to make a judgment. I just hope the poster is emotionally ready for surgery. I can only imagine how trying that journey will be. And of course satisfying at the end. I would never intentionally…

If you're talking to me I thought I was pretty supportive! I'm asking smart questions about before and after counseling! And offered some motivation. I fail to see what is so negative about what I wrote.

I'm no doctor, but you kind of sound clinically depressed. Again, I don't have enough info, but I tend to agree with Edorice that maybe this surgery is not a good time for you. Are you getting a lot of pre-surgery counseling? Is there a good system afterwards? Happiness can only come from within. We are all accountable in…

Some people do it as a 30-day program (thus the title!) but personally I think it's more effective to mix it up. I especially like that you're throwing more cardio in there, because you just don't get that much with that short DVD. That said, I love all of JMs DVDs. Just did level 1 in addition to Insanity yesterday! I…

I agree with some of the other posters. I think you have a good breakfast already, it just needs some tweaks. Use egg beaters instead of real eggs, you can eat substantially more and you get the protein! Then instead of a bagel, try something with more fiber. I use Thomas' Betterstart English Muffins (100 cal and 7g…

Raise Your Glass - Pink

On this website, it said 84 calories for 10 min for moderate stationary bike activity, for a 160 lb person. I'm not saying this is correct either, but your burn does sound high. But what do I know?? http://www.healthstatus.com/cgi-bin/calc/calculator.cgi

Unless you see that she is eating portions that are definitely too much for her, I wouldn't say anything. I would just continue to emphasize good food choices and exercise and set a good example. I had some eating issues around that age and am desperate to have it not happen to my daughter too. The early teen years are…

What a wonderful feeling! Nice work!

Well isn't that a ridiculous post for this thread. I swear people just want to cause drama. That's nice that you think they're lame. They seem to work for a lot of people! What's the difference between doing DVDs and a gym class - $$$. I'm doing Insanity and have noticed a huge difference in just 10 days. By the way, I've…

They have them in the freezer section of my Giant. They also sell them at Costco. I eat the chocolate choc chip plain! Love them!!

Trust me - you need to eat most of those calories back. I'm exercising very hard (doing Insanity) and was not eating enough. It totally slowed my weight loss!

I always fluctuate that much between night and morning. In fact, I've lost 9 pounds in the last 7 days. I'm the queen of water weight. It's crazy! Best of luck with your goals! Jennifer

We are very similar in our exercising. I do 45-60 min on the elliptical and Jillian DVDs sometimes! I am going to try the Insanity program starting on Sunday. I AM TERRIFIED. First, because I am also not in the kind of shape I think I need to be in, and also because I have a really bad knee (thus mostly using an…
