  • Instead of chips fruit, granola bars, peanuts, things that are easy to pack and easy to grab. Plenty of bottled water. Veggies to grill. I can't help with the meat substitute though, sorry. I usually do the burgers without buns, so whatever you might substitute for that. Have fun!
  • Denise you have done such an amazing job! Look at that success! You look fantastic!
  • :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Oh my gosh. I made it through the first 7 pages of this post looking for this. 'Squat 'n drop', too funny! I still wear capri workout pants even in the 85 degree temps here in FL because my shorts ride up when I am walking or running. :ohwell:

  • Mmmm, sounds yummy. And healthy.
  • I was trying to figure out how to do the cycling on here. I was just content to be over/under. I will look into changing my 'goals' as a way to change my daily calorie goals. Thanks!
  • Yum, yum, yum. I LOVE peanut butter!
  • Well said Kristy! This is about learning how to deal with life, the stresses, the joys, and how we react to them. Finding other ways to deal with life, other than turning to food! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
  • Wow! Wow! Wow! What an amazing job.
  • I too leave milk in the bottom of the bowl. When the cereal is done, I am done. I pour 3/4 C in but only log 1/2 C.
  • You are all making me soooo hungry. I have no idea. Never took anything out to defrost. And today is my late work night. I need something quick and easy.
  • My thoughts exactly. I am here for support. Sometimes I need somebody else to point out the obvious. Now, that does not mean I want to be criticized time and again, but constructive criticism is always welcomed. And when I comment, I try to do it in a nice way, suggestions, not criticism. I must admit, I am very bothered…
  • I have never tried the zumba DVD's but I did take the class several times a week when I belonged to a gym last year. I loved it. I felt completely spastic and uncoordinated and laughed so much at myself the first few weeks. But eventually you catch on (just before they change to routine up to 'keep it fresh') and it is a…
  • Good for you! I have no advice for you. I wanted to try it myself when it was here this past Jan but I chickened out. I am interested in what advice others may have. Perhaps I will sign up for it when it is back here next Jan. Good luck to you! I admire your desire to do this!
  • Go take a 10 minute walk. Once you get started, you will feel good about it and that 10 minutes will soon push to 15, then to 20, 30, etc. There are days I do not have the motivation and tell myself, okay, just 15 minutes to at least get the heart pumping. Those 15 minute walks have at times turned into my best runs, as…
  • I tried it several months ago, and reaffirmed my yoga hatred! :grumble: Could not even do 10 minutes. The DVD quickly went to the back of the cabinet never to be seen again. Since then, I have been doing 5 minutes of power yoga as part of P90. Hated it then too but everybody on the P90 support board told me to give it…
  • Oh, does that sound yummy! Anything with the word peanut butter pretty much gets my attention.:wink:
  • Mmmm. Haven't had corned beef and cabbage in years, and honestly I did not like it then. But, lately I have been thinking of trying it again (I am liking a lot of new foods lately). This just might be the push to try it with my family. Thanks!
  • Thanks! I will continue on. I think back to how I started 1-2 and where I ended, how far I have come. I know it will come in time on level 3-4 too. I will complain, grumble and accuse Tony of attempting to kill me :grumble: but I feel such a sense of accomplishment. I feel my muscles complaining, which means I worked them…
  • Glad you enjoyed it. I have enjoyed it as well. And the amazing thing as you approach the end on 1-2 and start thinking about 3-4, is you really look back and see how far you have come. I started barely able to do 4 pushups on my knees, now I can do 10 on my toes before I need a little break, but can then continue on with…
  • My 30 days pictures I could only see a bit of a difference. But, I also heard several people say that their biggest change came between days 31 and 60. So, pushing play on Day 32 later tonight. IF you really think about it, how many people have gotten fit in only 30 days? Keep it up. The change will come. :wink:
  • Ho - ly - COW!!! Moved to Sculpt 3-4 tonight. Every muscle in my body, including some I did not know I had are trembling at the moment. :noway: I burned 431 calories according to my HRM, as opposed to 175 with 1-2! I am going to hurt tomorrow. I am scared about Sweat 3-4 tomorrow.
  • Welcome! Let us know when you start and how it goes for you. To answer your questions: 1- I started run walking 4-5 days a week 6 months before starting P90. I was not willing to give that up so I still do that in the morning and do P90 in the evenings. Has not been a problem for me other than the first dew days of P90…
  • DECLINE pushups. I just barely mastered regular! Did my first two sets on my toes last week. Now I have to do harder? Yikes!
  • This is what I do. I have read it in some of my fitness magazines as well as this and other websites.
    in P90? Comment by mommaski4 March 2011
  • Glad to hear it. You will be pleased. As another poster said, you will only be discouraged IF you allow yourself to be. P90 is designed for beginners too. You do what you can, you can pause it to catch your breath. When you are beginning, just try to work on your form. I started barely able to do 3 on the knees pushups.…
    in P90? Comment by mommaski4 March 2011
  • Hi there. Doing it and loving it. Today I start Day 31 and move up to Sculpt 3-4. It looks easy but it is a challenge. A great place to start. My plan is to get through my 90 days of P90, maybe do their add on (can;t remember what it is called right now) then moving on to P90X. We actually have a support thread for P90.…

  • Mike - totally do not see that as bragging. You have every right to be proud of yourself, as does everybody else working hard, pushing play day in and day out. We are all hoping for results like that. So, tonight I start Day 31. I think I am going to try Sculpt 3-4. Yikes. I have not yet previewed it so I do not know what…
  • Nice job! You are looking great. You are so doing this!
