holy wow! you're making a lot of changes at once! good for you :) definitely do NOT be afraid to take breaks, I've done p90x and am doing body beast now, and everyone in all the DVDs NEEDS breaks! insanity is the same way! you can do it :)

You can learn to do a legit jumpstyle from Youtube videos!

I was doing my weight lifting today and my cat just loves to sit under me. granted, a twenty pound dumbell would just bounce off her, but still! :grumble:

I disagree. Trolling cures cancer.

I wonder how this would be with pb2?? Gonna try it later!! :)

yeah I knew spinach was high, but I had no idea broccoli and asparagus and kale were so high! gah. I used to eat a serving or two at least once a day, before I knew I had these genetic problems. *headdesk*

permanent, I'm on coumadin/lovenox for clotting disorders :( thanks for the website! I'm literally running out of foods I can eat, I have celiac disease (which I tend to ignore, but I'm trying to get back in the habit of it), and fruit acid makes me sick. like if I eat an orange, I get sick. I'm getting fed up with eating…

I don't/can't. I really try but I can't. He's always too "tired" or feels "sick" or has an excuse. You can't get someone to do something they don't want. :/

Guys need to understand it's all about the words. I mean if I poked my boyfriend in the stomach and said something about toning up and there being too much to hold on to, let's face it, he would be hurt. However, if he ever said something like that to me, guys tell me to "lighten up" and not be hurt by his obvious jokes.…

when I was on vacation someone asked if I was pregnant. the girl felt terrible when I told her I wasn't and I just laughed it off and told her if I was and didn't know it yet it was her fault and sort of winked. but crap like that really gets you thinking :(

okay thanks :) I can definitely do the other workout tonight, I just wasn't sure if it was silly to do two in a day, or just omit it from the week, or just bump everything. seems like it'll be easier on my schedule if I just do it today. thanks! :)

I just want to save this thread cause all this advice is awesome :)

I agree with what everyone else is saying, you need to have a healthy lifestyle for that to work. And from what I've read and people I've talked to, you should make that change before you get the surgery. It would be like getting hit with two bats at once, instead of one. Take one bat at a time.

I second this. I jumped right into it, I just got done with my first week. I really don't think there's much you can do to prepare for p90x. I mean I'm out of shape, but I know guys on my uni's football team who did p90x and were exhausted after it. the workout is going to help you keep training, no matter what your shape…

you need to be eating more, in my opinion. maybe up to 2000-2200 calories, and see how you feel. however, if you are used to having a lot of caffeine regularly, you could be going through caffeine withdrawal. did you stop cold turkey or ease off? same for the chocolate. if you switched to dark chocolate (in moderation of…

:o is that why my hardboiled eggs NEVER peel right?! AHHHHH. THE TIME I'VE WASTED.

I just started doing p90x about a week ago, and I've lost about seven pounds since then (I'm drinking shakeology and following the food nutrition plan) and I have to say, I love it. the DVDs make me laugh, and the exercises take a lot out of you, but they aren't impossible to do. they make you WANT to do them. I hurt like…

oatmeal. if you're an on-the-go person, mcdonald's oatmeal is pretty epic.

thinkgeek.com has an alarm that shoots off a flying spinning key thingy and you can't shut the alarm off til you find the key. yep.

I absolutely adore my food scale. I had shrimp the other day, and you never would believe that I was not even eating a serving of shrimp! Steak, chicken, and pork on the other hand...

I gave up on the black cat crossing when I adopted two black cats... :grumble:

it depends on how much protein you eat in your regular routine. if you're a hardcore carnivore, you probably don't need it. but if you're a general eater, protein powder is helpful to reach the daily protein goals. I aim for 1g of protein to 1lb body weight, and eat healthy otherwise (no processed food really).

a couple crossbows. DVDs/kindle. things for injuries, like stuff for stitches, wound dressings, numbing agents, etc. sledgehammer, screwdrivers. fireworks, flares. swedish firesteel and maya dust. wind up flashlights. coffee cup inverter. two way radios. those warm sleeping bag thingies that keep heat in. squishy…

I think you should go to college. I know it'll be tough but you may never even see that one person on campus. I go to a ~2,000 person campus and in my major I see maybe, MAYBE 30 people a day? And also, people gain weigh. It happens. If that one person is going to be so awful to be judgemental of you because you gained…

I went to Aruba for a week and my friends/mom were positive I came back paler than I was before! And I'm okay with that. I am pretty ghosty. I also don't tan. I laid out on the beach for the whole week I was on vacation and. Still ghosty! xD

I have small wrists and the band practically overlaps the screen, so you should be okay :)

Processed bread and bread back then are really different things. You can make bread yourself today with only a few ingredients, maybe 5, and there's three-four times that in a normal package of white bread to make it last longer. So removing processed bread and replacing it with non-processed bread is a good start. The…

I love this! I never flavor coffee or tea. There's so many different coffees from the DR or Nicaragua or Costa Rica and they taste so different and fantastic in their own ways! :) and tea. don't even get me started on tea. I got this raspberry green/black tea that was so sweet on it's own it was scary!

as long as it isn't processed sugar and from processed food, I would say it's okay. :)

do what works for you! if it's weight watchers, then hey it's weight watchers! mfp doesn't always do it for me, I have bad runs with this constantly. I'm still trying to find what works for me. I notice when I focus on what I'm eating, that's when I start to spazz real bad like "omg I need a burger and fries and cheese and…
