Thank you for your response! That was reassuring. Yes, I'm petite, only 5 ' 3". I guess I get jealous of other people losing weight fast, I used to but after having 3 kids back to back and being at 40 y/o I feel like my metabolism has gone down. I was thrown off ketosis over the weekend, blaming it on hawaiin bros, lol…

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I'm not really hungry, I force myself to eat to catch up on protein and fats. I decided to stay Keto because my doctor or insurance can discontinue it anytime soon since I'm only prediabetic. I'm quite sure my A1C is normal by now. Its just a battle between protein and fat like which one to…

Before pics taken Dec 2011 and then the During pics Aug 2012 :flowerforyou:

I posted a thread before upon completion of my first round of Insanity...I still do it at times like during the weekend or If I needed additional cal burn, it depends..but I loved it :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/640716-insanity-progress-before-after

Same here, yesterday I burned 1300 cal with workout and now I'll treat myself with a pizza, been craving for it. It works for me. If I go over at times, like unexpected celebration at work or eat out, I just try to make up for it through exercise. I still eat chips, chocolates, etc. I do not deprived myself and its working…

bump again :)

I posted one before on this thread, just adding these (most recent)

I only measure it when its cooked and per cup, like mine I always have 3/4 cup cooked rice, it should be in there on the nutrition label :smile:

Feel free to add me :wink:

Thanks everyone! Its such a great feeling to inspire and motivate others in our goal :smile: We all need to go through hardships, we have to make time, fight the lazy feeling, suffer the pain/soreness, etc. I had knee pain during Insanity, rugburn on my Day 1 of Tapout, that feeling that my wrists are gonna break during…

Thanks! Yup, I think I am pear shaped, still a little bit heavy on the hips and thighs. But when I gained those weight, my body evened out with fats lol Just work on it again and you'll be fine. Yup, I love Tapout, but thats with ChaLean Extreme (3x) as well. I think weights helped me trimmed down my arms and Tapout helped…

Thanks you guys! I was gonna add this but it won't let me. One of the pics in there is not showing right.

I'm eating at 1500 cal, my exercise goal is 3000 cal burn/week. And I have an active job. And also I think its the type of workout that you do, how much you put into it and of course, healthy eating. watching sodium and sugar.

I finished Insanity around June and I would say I loved it! At first, I didn't know how is it and didn't even take a peek on the vids, I just went for it lol But I got scared for Month 2. Just make sure u always have the correct form coz from 2nd or 3rd week til Day 60 my knees were really hurting bad coz of my form and…

You might wanna check Tapout XT :D I'm loving it so far! My results are on my profile pic :wink: I'm doing ChaLean Extreme 3x/week with it. I did Insanity prior to Tapout XT :happy:

feel free to add me! :D

bump! thanks!

Started Insanity April 16, finished in 2 mos...followed by insanity-chalean extreme hybrid for 3 wks, followed by Tapout XT with Chalean Extreme (3x/week)...Currently, last week of 2nd month of TAPOUT XT, 1 more month and hopefully I can have nice abs :D I workout 6x/week :) and btw, my weight used to be evenly distributed…

Before Pics - April 2012 During Pic - Just today - Aug 2012

I'm 5'3.5" started at 153 lbs, currently 125.2 lbs...my ultimate goal is 120 lbs, but if on that weight and my thighs & calves are still not what I wanted to be, might lower it to 115 to 118 lbs.

I love dvd workouts coz its scheduled. I have this goal that I can't skip a day, if ever I'll skip a day (coz I'm not feeling well or went to a vacation) I will switch it with my rest day or do double workout just to get back on track. Dvd workouts are convenient for me, I even do it at 12mn or sometimes will finish at…

tried to resize but can't get it to work :( I'm 5'3.5" almost 5'4"

I love that pic! there are some days wherein I'm not so motivated and will ask myself, "do I really have to workout everyday (6x/week)?" Found my answer! :D

I'm currently doing Chalean Extreme, I'm just a newbie with weightlifting and I love it so far :) You might want to check it :)

its important to have atleast 1 day of full rest. I workout 6x/week doing Tapout and 3x/week of Chalean Extreme. I'm always wiped out by the 6th day, and I know how important that single rest day is. You don't want to overtrain yourself or something. And wow, 21 straight days! thats too much.
