I am 8 workouts away from finishing my first round of Insanity! I say first round because I am totally going to start again after because I've loved everything about it! Today was a weigh in day for me and I'm down 29 lbs since I first started Insanity in October. I didn't follow the program EXACTLY since I knew I had a…

Just checking in with my fellow shorties!!! How's everyone doing?!

Awww congrats! Totally distracted by that super cute pedi! I love it! Way to go on both! :)

I'm 5'0" and also fall into that awful morbidly obese category. When I went to the gym and had to do a fitness assessment, I tossed out 130 as my goal weight as the consultant kept pestering me to have a goal weight. After I said 130, she pointed out to me that technically, that weight is still too high for my height. BAH!…

I don't have any kids of my own but my husband and I have a doggy and we do a lot of work with our church group. We are leaders for a youth group that meets Friday evenings and we also sing in our church choir (practice on Thursday evenings and sing Friday evenings and Sundays) for which I am the coordinator for. We are…

Hello new friend!!! Hope you find a lot of help, motivation and encouragement through here. I LOVE this place! I found it a few years ago and used it to quickly drop some weight before a friend's wedding, but once the wedding was over, it was back to old me, old habits. I came back for a little while but didn't stick to…

Like. a. BOSS!!!! You look fabulous! and not gonna lie, this post totally ignited my obsession with kettlebells that I now own one day after reading your post! I have a long way to go in lifting and strength training but gotta start somewhere right?! And this was definitely my starting off-point! I'd heard that strong is…
-
I've just started my recovery week before starting on month two and I'm STILL loving it! Not gonna lie, but it doesn't feel any easier the longer you do it! *LOL* I'm hoping it's not because I continue to suck, but because with every workout you get stronger and better and are able to push yourself more. It's AWESOME to be…

I did it a couple of years ago. And when I say I was out of shape, I mean I was REALLY out of shape. I couldn't even finish W1D1! I started it right about at the start of the hottest days of our summer so when it got too hot to run outside at lunch time, I switched to running on the treadmill and finished the program on…

I don't have planned cheat days. I think it's still early days for me that I feel like any kind of cheat days or days where I get too lenient with myself will set me back since I'm just starting out. But there are days that happen - especially during family functions where I can't exactly count the calories - that I try to…

I've been using my FuelBand for almost a week now and loving it, but I still haven't figured out the friends feature yet and how to compete and access leaderboards. Am I missing something? Help?

Don't know much about the FitBit, but I would highly recommend something that has a chest strap or another way to actually measure your heart rate. I currently have a Nike Fuelband that tells me calories burned, etc. but since there's no actual contact with my heartrate, I know it's an estimate just based on heigh and…
-
YAY, thanks! Can't wait! I was starting to think I was doing these extra interpretive dances and lunges to the photocopier room for nothing! LOL
-
Beautiful inside and out! So proud of you and happy that I get to encourage you with the remaining half of your journey!!! :)

If you all got a bunch of requests, don't be creeped out, it was just me going through the list LOL :P

Saw someone post a picture of it and after reading a basic description of what it does, walked out and picked one up! LOL, I love me some technology! Mine is currently charging as I set it up and I am pumped to get started tomorrow! I'm under Si11ySkitt1es!
-
Just picked up the Fuelband today! It's currently charging while I set it up so I'm excited to see how it goes tomorrow. I'm not looking for a rocket science bracelet or anything, but the idea that I could "compete" with myself and see stats to help keep me moving or to inspire me to find more ways to move just a little…

Hello from Ontarioooo!
-
I log everything. The main reason that I log is because I never once gave a thought to what I was putting in my body and being honest with myself and accountable for it is something that I need to see. If a tree falls and no one hears it....somewhere, there's still a tree on the ground... :S If I'm going to choose to eat…
-
There was a lot of good advice given that I would echo. I had been wanting to try it for a long time and jumped in with both feet. But because I wanted to know what I was getting in to, I watched the DVD the day before actually DOING the exercise. So I knew what to expect and what to realistically ask myself and my body to…
-
Officially? Once a week on Wednesdays. First thing after I do whatever business and right before I hope in the shower :D Although I weigh myself every day in an effort to get to know my body and how what I do / eat / drink affects it, so I have promised myself not to lose it when on a non-official weigh-in day, I don't…
-
Ditto! Finding it really accurate for me. It's remained consistent with what I normally expect to lose during a workout. I've also had the Polar RS something or other and never had any problems with that until someone went and took my chest strap and monitor :( I also consistently change the weight settings each week when…
-
I'm currently doing Insanity! Just started Week 4 Day 1 yesterday and it's still consistently kicking my butt! Not because it's not getting any easier, but because with every workout, it's making me feel stronger to go just that little bit harder and to push a little bit more! I started at 199 and couldn't even complete…
-
Still working on mine! Just started day 1 of week 4 today!!! Can't believe it's already week 4! Have tried other workout programs at home (TurboJam and Shaun T's HipHopAbs) but this is the longest I've ever stuck with anything! I think it's the combination of the calendar you get to check off days that you do and the fact…

Got the usual, "are you pregnant?" from a coworker, and when I said no, instead of just leaving it at that, she felt the need to justify herself to me by saying, "oh, well your stomach was really sticking out, so I thought you were!" *sigh*
-
I would definitely go with the scale. Depending on what type of food you're measuring, 8 oz in a measuring cup probably might not be 8 oz (if it's things that are chopped up or bulky...like grapes or almonds, etc., they leave a lot of empty space) thereby, it's not really 8 oz, it just takes up 8 oz of space...However, if…

Awwww, I love your journey! What an awesome thing to be able to share with your BFF! Both of your hard work definitely paid off! Congrats!

You put in some solid work! Congrats!!!
