Hey there! I sent you a FR! :)

Day 6...Pure Cardio for us. Holy cow...is all I have to say! :)

Holy cow! I experience the same thing! Sometimes worse than others. It sucks. I have NO idea why but I just drink tons more water than normal. I will ask around and do some research on this. I'll let you know if I find out anything. Just wanted to write that you're not alone here. Weird though, isn't it?

Day 5...But we're off schedule by a day so today was Cardio Recovery for us. We'll be back to the regular schedule on Monday. Thoughts for today...I cannot wait to get through this w/o stopping. It's tough and oh were my legs BURNING!!! As of right now, I cannot do (oh shoot! I forgot the name of the exercise) where you're…

Yeah, me not so much either. However, I would like to run a 5K...Other than that, NO! :) I see a woman running in our neighborhood every morning and I'm always thinking, 'more power to ya.' ;)

Well, if you can get one, I would highly recommend it. I got mine for $60 online. You could always check Amazon.com or have you already? Don't let it stress you out...And if you're taking the breaks, you obviously need them...I'm sure you wouldn't take them if you didn't. Ya know? Just make sure you keep moving during your…

Hey, thanks for the response...I actually just started over on Monday b/c I didn't finish week 1 when I was supposed to. :/

I know it's been over a week since you've started but I just wanted to say to go at your own pace! Have you already figured that one out? :) How was your first week???

Oh girl...It's not just you!!! It takes me quit a bit to catch my breath. Not sure how long exactly but I will pay closer attention to it. How long did it take you? Do you have a HRM? I use mine every time I work out. :)

I started (over) on Monday! :) But I'm going with my Fit Test results from the week (or so) prior. And they, too, were shocking! Can't wait to see how much I improve in two weeks. How about you???

Okay, so I helped some family members move last week and didn't do Insanity at all...SO, I started over on Monday! :) Still not liking Plyo Circuit though. ;)

Oh yes, I can totally relate! :) The one constant thing I have heard about Insanity is that it builds endurance. It has helped people become better runners. That is not on my list...I just want to lose weight! :) How about you?

Okay, so we did Cardio Power & Resistance today...Tough stuff!!! I actually ALMOST puked! ;) I ran outside, gagged twice, eyes watered, but didn't! Thank goodness!!! Tomorrow is Cardio Recovery, Saturday is Pure Cardio and then we are taking Sunday off. Glad you are feeling better about the workouts! I've heard that they…

Really? See, I have to have the workout playing but not the workout music per se...Maybe I'll try playing my music but still have Shaun T talking as well. Hmmmm...Things to try! Right? :)

Oh girl! If you only KNEW how awful mine was!!! Just think though...Day 15 WILL show improvement. That's what the day 1 is for, right??? ;) Have fun tomorrow!!! And make sure you take extra time to stretch...Especially your calves! :)

The vegan chocolate is a lot lighter and not as thick as the regular chocolate. The vegan chocolate is the only one I drink now. I love it with some almond butter, sometimes a banana. There are many different ways to make it...Kind of like many different ways of making smoothies! What made you stop making smoothies? I was…

Hey, it happens! At least you're keeping a positive attitude about it. Ya know? When do you start PT? What are your plans in the meantime?

Hi! :) Not an omen! I'm really looking forward to being able to complete the workout! I really am excited about it but man oh man, it makes it hard to WANT to do it! ;) Weight loss is my purpose in doing Insanity as well. I will send you a message with a couple questions about nutrition. Uh, yeah, that is…

You're welcome! :)

My motivation is my son!...I have other motivations but first and foremost, it's him! He is four and VERY impressionable and he pays attention to things more than I do. So I KNOW he is watching me and taking mental notes. Ya know? I WILL be a fit, healthy, active Mom...And lead by example!!! :D

Girl, have you ever done Insanity before? I have heard nothing but great stuff from my runner friends...It helped them with their stamina most of all. I think you're gonna love it...Me on the other hand; I'm not a runner so I'm gonna have to focus on a different reason! :) Best of luck to you! Guarantee those 25 lbs will…

Hey all!...I wasn't going to join the group b/c I actually started on Thursday but saw that someone else is on day 4 so I thought why not?!?! :) Anyways, I did the fit test at lunch time and I'm already feeling it...Can't wait to see if I can walk when I get up in the morning! ;) I am 36 (hard to type that number!), a…

Hey girl...I just tried a few of these and they have all been removed.

Hi there...First off, CONGRATS on your weight loss so far! That is AMAZING!!! :) One thing I would recommend is doing weights first and then cardio. B/c cardio will fatigue your whole body and once you've done that, you have nothing left for weights. Make sense? You want to be fresh and make sure you're using good form…

Get up and walk...Eat some fruit!

I'm so excited for your vacation...We are actually celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary in May and were supposed to go to Kauai but we can't make that happen now. :( Anyways, I sent you a message! :)

I haven't read this whole board but I wanted to tell you that I quit smoking on November 26, 2007 and I haven't looked back! It DOES get easier, I promise! It will, more than likely, get harder before it gets easier but still! You have to have a very deep reason to want to quit and you have to remember that EVERY.TIME…

I sent you a message!

OMGosh! I did it!!! :) Massage, here I come! ;) SW: 315 CW: 267 GW: 259 (GW for this challenge) Weigh in Dates: 2/1 267 2/8 265 (YAY!) 2/15 261 2/22 261 2/28

AWESOME! Way to go! CONGRATS! You look amazing, healthy and happy! Keep up the great work!!! I have NO doubt that you're going to reach your weight loss goals!!! :)
