@SatiaRenee - I totally agree too! I am just the type of person who will justify any "overage" in calories or lapse in clean eating as "I'm going to work out like a dog later". But that's not going to compensate. As I lose weight, I'm definitely going to have to adjust the intake level - they even say it as part of the…

Just did total body fix. I was wearing a heart rate monitor for the first time, and boy, what a rude awakening! I only burned 252 calories. Now, I know that it's only a 30 minute workout, but I was hoping that I at least would have burned 300 for as hard as I feel like I'm working! It just makes me wonder if I should be…

I downloaded the five recipes, and I ,are the quinoa black bean salad. SO YUMMY!

Hey everyone! i've totally fallen off the wagon (so to speak) for the last couple of weeks, but i'm all caught up now, and ready to continue the journey (i refuse to say "start over", because i've always done that in the past and that mentality hasn't worked for me). i'm making the last push to our first "vacation" - my…

Hey everyone! i've totally fallen off the wagon (so to speak) for the last couple of weeks, but i'm all caught up now, and ready to continue the journey (i refuse to say "start over", because i've always done that in the past and that mentality hasn't worked for me). i'm making the last push to our first "vacation" - my…

RD2/D3. Didn't get to work out because I couldn't get up early enough (I'm on travel and did not get to my hotel until midnight last night)... and I'm not getting home until 10 tonight - I'm really going to try to double up tomorrow, but I may have to do them b2b tomorrow night. I also over ate today. I'll pick back up…

Thanks for the reminder @dkwi04 ! ! I DO have a resistance band! Totally packing it now :) RD2/D2: in the month since I did round 1, I forgot how much I love this program. I think I'm going g to do the two rounds before vacation, and then order extreme. I just have to remember to take it one day at a time, one pound at a…

Great thank you! I weighed myself this morning and i'm heading in the right direction :) doing better with eating this morning, and hoping to keep it going for the rest of the day. I have to do my workout on my lunch break (working from home today) because I'm flying out for business this evening after dinner. I'm going to…

@mrsewert - great job! Day one done. I didn't do well in the food department, but i pushed play. I'm going to hurt tomorrow! :)

^^great job!

@walkdmc - I'm totally planning on sticking with the containers, but I'm also a really bad stress eater, so sometimes I eat way too much during the work day. Made this awesome Thai salad that had 6 servings, and i ate FOUR of them just today. It's my Bain. But I'm not going to use that as an excuse to "start tomorrow", I'm…

Hey everyone! i'm starting round two today. RD2/D1 - i already "over ate", but i'm plowing through. i'll get to do total body tonight after the kids go to bed. very excited to get going. i've calculated that i can do 2 rounds before vacation. bring it on!!!

amazing results!!! @SatiaRenee - you're a rock for all of us. keep moving forward and you'll get there.

I've been into strawberries and peanut butter. ..tastes like pbj. I also got the PB2 with chocolate and had that with strawberries today...so good.

Thanks for the awesome links @SatiaRenee!

I was doing amazingly well until my allergies sidelined me. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh :( On a fun note @walkdmc you win for most fun wordplay on your screen name. Too funny!

Oh. The fiber drink is super gross. Just chug it. The texture is totally barfy. Drink as fast as you can.

I did it a couple of months ago. It's a good, mild cleanse. You even eat real food on it. Just like anything else beach body, they have something for you to eat or drink every couple of hours. If you are doing it in conjunction with other programs (like starting another round of 21df right after or something), the weight…

@dkwi04 - i would definitely play around with your calories at this point. what have you got to lose? i know it is scary, but maybe if you played with either "quality" or eating a bit more, something would happen. every time i talk about calories to someone that is a "fitness guru" (my girlfriend is a professional athlete…

Wow! What a difference! Definitely flattening of the tummy going on there! I haven't lost an ounce since starting insanity (u haven't been eating clean), but I measured myself today and I've lost a half inch off my tummy and a half off each leg. Crazy.

^^This. I want @nables73 abs!!! And I will get them by God, I WILL!!! :smiley:

What?!?!?! Omg, the stress - I'm sorry to hear this. I hope and pray for the best for both of you and your family. It's good to do healthy things for yourself in situations like these - the alternative is just awful and will lead to negative things. I'm happy that you're taking care of yourself. You deserve it. I pray for…

@dkwi04 - I'm sorry you are having a tough time. Sometimes our bodies just don't make sense. Stick with your plan for now. It sounds like a strong plan to follow until you are comfortable changing course. Maybe try changing something little here and there - either switching a yellow for a green (aka type of calories you're…

@SatiaRenee - I totally agree. But it is human nature to compare yourself to others, especially if you are struggling in some capacity. The trick is to do just as you said - celebrate everyone for their strengths and successes - if you do that, I feel like you'll enjoy yours more too. I remind myself every day that you…

Hey guys! a major NSV this morning. I put on a pair of dress pants on today (at 3 am before my flight) and I noticed that they were a little loose. I didn't think anything of it though... mostly because it was 3am. Now I'm in Chicago, and I went to the bathroom and my pants are HUGE. Like when I went to button them, I have…

I just remind myself that everyone is on a different phase of their journey. You don't know how they started, and they may be doing the program for different reasons. For instance, I'm a work-a-holic mother of two who just had a baby 9 months ago. I've lost the baby weight, but now I'm working on the 30 pounds of "My job…

Fantastic results @michellemybelll! Wow! Insanity is kicking my butt, but it's an awesome workout! Can't wait to hear about your experience!

Are you serious? I'm sorry about that. There are plenty of people in this forum that aren't using shakeology or any of the other supplements. Welcome!

I don't really know much about the program :( the only thing I know is that my sitter (25) wasn't up to doing 21 day fix one day, so she did one of the Brazilian butt lift ones instead - and regretted it because it ended up being just as hard!!! :) evidently, it's a great workout!

@SatiaRenee!!! Holy moly! Your body shape has changed so much! You look incredible. Awesome work. Wow.
