Thanks everyone - I appreciate the input!

well poo :P Oh well - it was worth a shot anyway!

Thanks ladies!

While I have no personal experience with HCG, I work with several people who have done it - most were successful, BUT they all gained it back when they stopped. Honestly I was ready to jump on the HCG bandwagon myself until I learned the calories you were limited to, plus I watched as they all starting gaining it back.…

Well bummer - was hoping for some good suggestions. . .

Hi! Welcome to MFP! I'm 34, mother of 4 and also an RN. I've been here for a little over 4 months now, just recently made it to my goal weight! I am in the process of finishing Insanity - just a few more weeks left! I enjoy having motivational and encouraging friends and I do my best to be supportive and encouraging as…

My mom does them - you should add her :) From what I understand you do march/walk in place but do a lot of leg kicking and arm movements as well. She could tell you :) Here's her user name: granny017

I just saw this information today and had posted on my own personal wall, then came across this post. Here's the link - hope it helps! http://www.chalenejohnson.com/healthy-living/how-to-lose-belly-fat-and-loose-skin/

I'm on week 4 of Insanity - haven't taken any progress pics yet, though. I LOVE it - it's a killer cardio workout, but it's effective and works great! I completed JM 30DS and then RI30 before starting Insanity, don't think I could have gotten through without it!

I am curious, too - I have looked at her program a few times and am a huge JM fan - maybe after Insanity I can pick it up! How do you like Body Revolution??

Here ya go - got it right - Photos with blue shorts are from final day of RIPPED in 30, which I completed after 30DS.

SORRY everyone, just realized my 'after' pics above were from completion of both 30DS and RI30. OOPS! Forgive me, I just figured out how to post pics! LOL I will post the right pics in a bit!

Finally figured it out - anyway, here are pics at 1 week into 30DS, and then on the day I finished it.

THIS is the stupid error I get every time. . . I can't figure it out either.

NO idea what I am doing wrong - i give up.

IDK why it isn't working

I lost 9 lbs on 30DS, immediately followed with RI30 for a total of 17 lbs (I also did c25k with 30DS) - I have some b4/after from doing both of those that are in my profile but it's not public. . .I will see if I can share here.

Awesome NSV! Congrats!

Congratulations! Inspirational and you look amazing!

You look amazing! Congrats!

Congrats on your success and so inspirational! Awesome work!

Congrats!!!

You both look FABULOUS! Congrats on your success!

I use a Polar FT4 - I really like it! :) I haven't tried any other kind to have a comparison, but it was recommended on here and had great reviews at amazon.com. Good luck!

I have it, it's a great cardio workout and def. makes you sweat! I haven't followed the system or completed it as instructed, as I only use it with my kids for 'fun' to get them moving - they like to dance. :) If you are looking for more cardio, it does a great job!

In my journey, I started out with the c25k also - but took me a LOT longer than 8 wks to complete!), coupled with two Jillian Michaels DVD's that I since completed, after I started Chalean Extreme but it wasn't working for me (plateau) and now I am a week into Insanity! ALMOST 20 lbs lost in the 110+ days that I've been…
