Awesome job! It's amazing what a difference a year can make when you are focused and determined :) Congrats!

Yes, I've done P90X and am now doing P90X2 which is very different than P90X. Both are great, but in different ways. How do you like it so far?

Great job! :) Your hard work is paying off!!! Awesome!

Welcome and also happy to help with support :)

It does work and Leandro Carvalho (the instructor in the dvd's) knows his stuff. The workouts are both fun and challenging. Some of the workouts call for using ankle weights (for some of the floor exercises), but you will feel the burn a ton without the ankle weights!!!! The workouts mix in cardio with some strength…

I love Asics running shoes. I am not a runner, but I find them to be the most comfortable for walking and indoor/outdoor workouts. I think it depends on your particular needs and if you have wide feet, high arches, flat arches etc. I have found that places like Sport Chalet are very helpful for recommending footwear…

I did my first 1/2 marathon this past June in San Diego and it was great. I felt a little silly walking it, but I did it with a friend and we had so much fun! We did not train nearly enough, so our time was not great, but we just did it for the challenge and the friendship part. Go for it :) Let us know how it goes. Where…

I love Chalean Extreme for strength training and cardio. I am now doing P90X and I alternate between the workouts. Chalean is 5 days a week vs. 6 days with P90X, but I usually do a 6th day with yoga or cardio. It's a very well balance program and not quite as challenging as P90X (there are no pull ups for example and the…

Welcome back :) Great support on here! It helps me to have the app on my phone for tracking when I'm out and about. Just take it day by day!

Just keep with it! The MFP phone app is great and usually much more convenient if you have a smart phone. That way, if you are out eating, you can look up some of the menu items BEFORE you order :) You can do it!

I agree! Welcome and congrats on being 1/2 way to your goal :)

Welcome! :)

I love the Bora Bora bars. You can get them at Costco (all natural, organic). They range from 180 - 200 calories and they are pretty filling :)

Thanks for sharing!

Yummmm now I am hungry :) thanks!

You will love it. Just have the remote handy especially during the Ab Ripper routine which progresses rapidly between sets with little to no break :) Pause as you need to and if you stick with it, you will see amazing results :)

Funny you should ask since we just had halibut last night. I grilled the halibut steaks on the George Foreman grill and when they were done, I just topped with pineapple salsa. Yummmmm :)

What do you think you would enjoy doing for exercise? Some days I get up early and exercise before everyone else is awake and it makes for a great start to the day and I get so much more done. There are so many at home exercise options these days. What kinds of activities appeal to you or what sounds like it might be FUN?…

First of all a huge congrats on your weight loss - wow! That's amazing! 400 calories is still a great calorie burn. What kind of exercise are you doing? When I do the treadmill my calorie burn is not nearly what it is if I am doing the stair climber or eliptical at the gym. Are you working out at home?

I LOVE my Timex Ironman one! I found mine on amazon.com for around $50 a couple of years ago. It's not the most attractive looking one, lol, but a good price and seems to be reliable. It sure helps to estimate calories burned!

Welcome! I think the most important thing is to find something you enjoy so you will look forward to exercising. What do you like to do or think you might like to do? :)

I love chocolate Shakeology because the taste is really good and it's all natural - no artificial stuff :)

I know the feeling! Just keep at it. Have you taken measurements? You may have lost inches :)

Welcome! I am new too. I usually just use myfitnesspal on my iphone and just found that we can connect with others! Hoping to learn lots :)
