I've lost inches, not weight with Jillian's 30 Day Shred, and also with Insanity. I will be starting my second month of Insanity on Monday and I've noticed more strength, stamina, and definition with Insanity. It's very tough, but I can tell it's making a difference with my body. Advice, if you decide to do Insanity, focus…

You're limbs are weak from working them out so much

It depends on the workout. If I'm dong the 30 Day Shred I'll wear shoes. If I'm doing Pilates then no. When I do Zumba, sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.

I've done a variety of different types of workouts, but one of my all time favs in Zumba because I love to dance. It took a few tries to get all the moves down, but with Zumba or any dancing workout, you can really get into it and add your own flare. I have a HRM and burn around 650 calories doing 45 min of Zumba. Hip Hop…

I'm doing Insanity 2-4 times a week as of mid July. Prior to that, I did Zumba DVDs 5 days a week and lost 1 lb a week (April to the end of May), then during the month of June, I did the 30 Day Shred. I lost a total of 8 lbs in 2 months doing Zumba, and once I started the 30 Day Shred and Insanity, the scale has not moved…

BUMP, SOUNDS DELICIOUS

I absolutely LOVE Zumba. I burn, on average, 650 caleriesper 45 min Zumba workout according to my HRM. Zumba is great because you are constantly moving and I feel my sides, abs, and lower back getting stonger...losing the muffin top too. When I started MFP in April, I was eating a modified version of Atkins and doing Zumba…

My daughter is 4 now, but when she was a baby I found it hard to find time to work out as well. She didn't nap much during the day, so I couldn't work out while she napped. The only thing I was able to do at that time, she was probably 4 months old, was to put her in the stroller and take her for a nice walk. The…

BUMP. SOUNDS YUMMY:)

bump, recipes sound yummy:smile:

You will get mixed opinions on this topic. Some people eat their excerise calories back while others eat until they hit their daily goal of 1200. What I just recently figured out, is that it depends on what you have for your goals and your Daily Metabolic Rate. I have mine set at seditary since I work at a computer all…

If you go out with some friends to a fast food place, opt for a healthier choice instead of those very delicious meals. I took my daughter to McDonald over the weekend and I had 2 double cheeseburgers w/o the buns (still have my treat but without the carbs and extra calories). I also got a diet coke as well. My entire meal…

You need to eat healthy, follow the food goals given by MFP, and excersise. Do lots of cardio and strength workouts, I like to alternate days. I'll do Zumba one day, then Insanity, and so forth. The biggest thing though, is eating right.

I buy semi sweet chocolate chips. They are pretty good and I will just eat 5 of them to curb my sweet tooth...I'm a chocohalic. I've heard in the past that if you want to eat right, eat some dark chocolate instead of the yummy milk chocolate. Dark choc to me is nasty, but I've always loved choc chip cookies so I just snack…

bump, mouths watering as we speak

I LOVE the 30 Day Shred, pretty much for the schedule as well. I also have her Last Chance Workout and absolutely LOVE it. It has a schedule as well, tells you which ones to do on Mon, Tues, etc... They do strength, cardio, and abs but to me, it's more intense. Some days of the week it's lower body, some days it's…

I would love to join too. I am 5 ft 1in and current around 155lb with a goal weight of 130lb, possibly more. I started MFP in April I believe and was losing about 1lb a week for 2 months, eating mostly Atkins style and working out 30 min a day 5 days a week (Zumba). Then in May, our boss at work allowed us to workout 2…

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed August of last year, and all 4 were impacted. I was completely knocked out and don't really remember much for the first 2-3 days because all I did was sleep. My husband told me that when he was putting me in the car after the teeth were pulled, I almost slid out some how. The only…

I have a couple embarassing Fat moments: 1. I was at the check out counter at a store with my boyfriend at the time and the clerk asked me "how far along are you?" 2. I was a Maid of Honor at my sister's wedding. I had to pay extra for the dress since they needed to add more material for me. Then on the day of the wedding,…

Zumba works great for the abs, hips, and back areas. I noticed a difference in my back fat and love handles when I started doing Zumba. I also noticed a big difference when I added Jillian's 30 Day Shred in the mix too. Anything that moves your hips will help the back fat disappear, especially the back muffin top area.

I love doing Zumba. I did Zumba for 2 months when I started with MFP and lost a pound a week. Then I started doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred and now Insanity 3-4 times a week. I'm losing weight but gaining muscle and the scale has not gone down, but I"ve lost 17.5 inches total. I want to incorporate Zumba back into my routine…

Sometimes after I do a strenuous workout, I notice I start to get a little upset stomach and light headed. The one thing I do after each workout, is drink a protein shake. Everytime I drink a shake after working out, I don't feel like I want to puke. I also notice that if I eat something healthy, not too heavy, at least an…

According to my HRM ($30 @ Walmart), I'm averaging between 650-700 per DVD. I'm constantly checking my HRM, especially after doing anything in the DVD that really has me breathing hard. I end up checking my HR between 5-10 times throughout the workout to ensure I get accurate results.

Take measurements and go by that, not the scale. When I started MFP, I was doing Zumba and eating right and losing 1 lb a week. Then I started doing 30 Day Shred and now Insanity instead of Zumba and the scale has stayed at the same number for 1-2 months now. I also take my measurements, and according to that, I've lost…

I'm starting to eat them back since I pulled a report that shows my net calories during the past 30 days and it showed I eat less than 1000 calories. The way I figure it, is that my beginning calorie goal is 1200, but on the days of the week I work out I end up burning 600-800 calories per day, which mean I can eat most of…

I tend to weigh myself every morning just to see where I'm at. Since May I've lost only 8 lbs according to the scale. I know I've lost more, because I also take measurements. According to my measurements from May until last week, I've lost a total of 17.5 in overall. I have more shape, my thighs don't rub to the point my…

I have a pitbull / rhodesian ridgeback mix female about 5 years old. She is the "perfect" dog who thinks she's a person. She loves being where ever my husband and I are, whether inside or outside the house. She stays in our front yard and will just sit and stare at people walking by. She loves to be loved and will sit on…
