That sounds really good. I will have to try it too!!!

Hey... Cardio Abs is only about 16 minutes long (which is about half, if not less, then every other dvd) so if you work out regularly then it might be normal that you did not think it was that intense of a workout. The calories you burn however is hard to determine seeing everyone is different and it really is a matter of…

Keep up the good work!!! =)

Hi Ashley, Feel free to add me too. Like you I have struggled with my weight and it took seeing pictures of myself with friends on facebook to make me realize that I was not happy with the way I looked or felt. At my heaviest I was 225 pounds. I couldn't believe it, but Since January I lost 25 pounds and then shortly after…

Feel free to add me if you would like. I am on week three of insanity. I have enjoyed the program thus far and have every intention of completing the 50 day challenge - even if I do not see the extreme results I am hoping for in my weight loss journey. I think it is important for anyone doing this program to remember that…

Hey everyone, I too have been doing Insanity ( started week 3 today). I have gained a little bit of weight - which I know is in the form of muscle and not fat. Gaining weight from developing muscle is something to expect when doing insanity! I have seen results as far as inches lost and know that the program is working but…

Hey - feel free to add me if you would like. =)

Just ordered a digital scale ( so I can get more accurate readings) and a tape measure. They should be here my Wednesday!!! I just exceeded my 3500 calorie goal for exercising this week. So I feel great, and have been working hard - if that counts for anything.

I give you four days && you will be addicted!!! Good Luck =)

Hey Dy, I have really bad knee problems too, and honestly there are days from doing insanity that I wonder what I got myself into... but don't let your knees stop you from trying Insanity. For some of the exercises that I either can not do because of my knees, or partly because I have no upper body strength, I just modify…

I have a Polar FT40... I don't really know how it compares to other HRM's but it was not that expensive. I have read from other posts, and other sites that Polar is a good brand. I got mine off hearratemonitorsusa.com As far as results, it fluctuates day to day, which is better than inputting numbers and assuming for every…

That is awesome!!! keep up the great work! =)

Hey Marc, I am 11 days into my insanity challenge and it is just that. I have had the program for over a year, done it a couple of days at a time and was never really able to stick with it as I thought it was "too hard" and just lost interest. But now that I am focused to get fit and I KNOW that insanity can help me do…

I double checked on the beachbody website and they ask for proof of purchase when you fill out the form for your t-shirt.

This sounds like a great idea, & just the type of motivation I need. Count Me IN!!!!! =)

Hey All! I too am doing Insanity. Almost done with week 2. Feel free to add me, I would love to hear additional feedback from others who are further along than I am, or even just starting out. @rebeccakes: I got a HRM last week and I love it, especially for insanity. Everyday is different when it comes to calorie burn, so…
-
Glad to hear everyone's progress thus far. No one said it was going to be easy, but I think this group allows us to use each other as a support to make sure we don't fall back into bad habits. Day 3 started off slow, I honestly did not think I was going to find the motivation to workout. But after doing Insanity for 9 days…

sending you a request now!!!
-
Sending a request your way. I am in the same boat. I just graduated too, and don't have a job either. So I thought now is the best time for me to just focus on ME and lose weight so I can feel more comfortable in clothes (esp. interview clothes!!!) I have a lot of extra time on my hands and would love to help you reach…

Startin this rainy day off right with some cleaning (didn't bother to clock cals) and with day 8 of Insanity (burning 402 cals). About to have a snack and take the dog for a walk. All this talk of food is making me hungry! Sending positive thoughts to you all - Happy Monday!
-
I agree! I have found this site to be extremely helpful for logging in food and exercise. Also the support system this site has is beyond wonderful. I am sending you a friend request now. I will be more than happy to help you out in any way I can. :)
-
I just completed day 7 of Insanity and I much say once you get into a routine it is something you WANT to do rather than something you HAVE to do. Other than Insanity everyday - I have been taking a half hour walk in the morning and a half hour walk in the evening. I agree, I feel like I need to switch things up a bit too.…
-
Keep up the good work!!!! I have wanted to run a 5k for a few years now, and even added it to my bucketlist because training has been few and far between for me. I hope that after reaching about half of my weight loss goal my knees wont give out on my so much. Good Luck with your 5k, let us know how you do when you…

Thank you Akyra for starting this group. Even the title is very motivational. Hello to you all. Reading your stories have been inspirational and our month journey has yet to begin! I want to thank you all for sharing your stories, as struggling with weight loss is never easy, but everyone in this group sounds very positive…

Welcome Cynthia (and everyone else), I think having people to support you and keep you motivated throughout your journey is extremely important. I am sending you a friend request and will be happy to keep you motivated and help your remain positive (I find that to be the hardest part). The same goes for everyone else as…
-
Welcome!!! It is certainly a lot easier to stay motivated when you have people supporting you. Feel free to add me as I too am new to MFP, and am looking to lose about 60 pounds myself!!!!

Planning ahead can make a world of difference, but for some people (including myself) it does not always deter me from maintaining good snacking habits. I don't know about your household but in my family, everyone else likes to eat chips and sweets. It was recommended to me to have all of these foods kept in one place (…

I have the same problem. The only advice I have is to wear spandex shorts underneath your regular shorts and that should reduce the chafing. Hope this helps! :)
