Hi! My name is Jeanne and I live in northern NJ by the PA/NY border. I'm a "quasi" dressage rider (I don't do the crazy stuff - LOL) after riding English pleasure/jumping for over 30 years. I do use my Western saddle (with my dressage bridle which everyone laughs at) when it's cold out because I like to think with my…

@mgood4x4 Hi! OMG I have seemed to miss a lot. I'm so glad Slate is recovering nicely. What a horrifying experience for you both! Looks like he's on the road to a full recovery - phew! @Mouse_Potato I don't know you, but I hope you have a full and speedy recovery from your surgery. Us "horse girls" need to stick together.…

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a long time and really wish there were more "horsey" types here on MFP. A few years ago, this was a decent group. Maybe we should promote it more? Hope everyone is enjoying the spring weather!

I haven't seen much activity in a long time. I was hoping to find some like-minded horse pals here too!

Here, but haven't seen much of anything for a very long time!

It's that last 5 pounds for me that I need to lose. UGH! Count me in!

Hi. It's one of the programs I completed earlier in the year and am thinking of redoing it this fall. When did you start?

I did it earlier in the year and am considering going through the program again this fall. It's a choice between T25 and 21-Day Fix. When are you starting?

Motivation is key. Most of my "friends" quit too so if you need more support, count me in!

I'm 46 and was having issues losing weight until I found the Beach Body programs. I lost 12 pounds doing Insanity (which took me at least a month of watching the infomercials and doing research before actually purchasing it), and I've been able to keep them off (except for the last 3-5 pounds that seem to want to hang…

I'm here, but don't log in too much either because there's hardly any activity here...

I keep mine on all the time and try to "adjust" from when I'm riding. The steps may be off, but the exercise and workout of a good ride I think balances it out.

I literally have been back and forth with support all day on this. They are trying, but it's getting frustrating. You are not alone.

I've had this problem for the past few weeks and have had my FitBit One connected without issue since April 2013. I've revoked access, removed applications, reset, everything listed in above posts (including what MFP e-mailed me after I complained), and yes, it works for a day or so and then nothing. The problem seems to…

Same issue here. I've had my FitBit One connected to MFP for almost 2 years and for the past few weeks, they just won't sync. I've revoked access and re-paired it with MFP and still nothing. I contacted MFP tech support and was told to do everything I had already done. No response yet to my last complaint. It's extremely…

That I'd rather clean stalls than my own house? That placing my face on my horse's neck and breathing in his scent is one of my favorite things? That no matter how awful the weather is, it's always a good time to go to the barn? Just a few! :)

Don't give up! I'm 45 and have been able to take weight off and keep it off. You can do this! Stay positive and on track. Using this website has really kept me "honest." Yes, many days I show that my calorie intake is "over" what it should be, but that doesn't get me down because it's not every day. I enjoy sweets, my…

This! Also look up Courtney King Dye (http://www.ckddressage.com) as a prime example. She was a professional dressage rider and was severely injured on the flat because of a simple fall without a helmet on.

I'm glad you're making your daughter wear her helmet, but you're not setting a good example for her if you don't wear one. Look at it this way, if you get hurt from not wearing one, what will happen to your daughter? Sometimes we have to think of others before ourselves. Just my 2 cents.

I don't even get on my horse without it on my head. It's foolish not to. Even the most gentle and trained horse is still an animal with a will of its own. I see it as an investment in myself and my life.

That would be enough for me to report him! Hoping you get this lovely boy and AWAY from this man and his son. If you do purchase Jackson, DO NOT let the old owners know where he will be stabled. It sounds like you're doing everything to give this horse reassurance and gentle training and that's what he needs. He sounds…

Jealous? Sure sounds like it to me! Be proud of your accomplishments, get the clothes you really want and enjoy your "new" self! I wouldn't go shopping with her or tell her you purchased new things for yourself if all she does is try to make you feel bad. That's not being a very supportive sister. Stay positive and keep up…

Hi. It's out. I ordered it and already received it. Just finished Insanity last night. Looking forward to Shaun T's challenges in T25, but not starting it until I get back from vacation in a week or so.

Just finishing last week of Insanity. I purchased the T25 to see how it goes. I'm going to take a few days "off" after Insanity though just to give my mind a break! Aside of working out with Insanity 6 nights per week, I also ride my horse at least twice a week. Of course, running around after my toddler is a great workout…

I'm on my last week of Insanity and will be starting T25 in a week or so. I know it's going to be crazy, but after kicking my own butt for the past 8+ weeks doing 60 minute workouts - I'm hoping 25 straight minutes in T25 will give me the same calorie burn in less time (I'm usually working out at 9:30 or 10pm at night)! I…

Switch up your exercise routine. Your body may be "used" to a workout if you do the same thing every day. If you can do it, I'd find a reputable trainer/nutritionist to help you. You have crossed the first bridge by realizing that you want a healthier lifestyle. You can do it! Don't give up! There is also a good book…

Hi. Do you have a mat? I have bad knees and had a similar problem until I started using a jump mat. I didn't get the one on the Beach Body website though as I found it $20 cheaper (same mat!) through Amazon (I think). Hope this helps!

I'm not a big fan of the mummy kicks - ha ha ha! Wait until you do the frog jumps in Max. Lots of exercises I never saw the first few weeks, but I'm learning them and sweating through them - ha ha ha!

It's true! People do think I'm crazy when I tell them I'm doing it too! I laugh and say, "yeah, maybe, but I feel great!"

Hi! I just finished my recovery week and am on Day 4 of the Max training. I almost cried when I saw the hour+ of the first day, but I got through it. It's definitely challenging, but I'm really loving it! Not only am I losing weight and toning my body, but I'm sleeping much better too! There may be times when you feel like…
