It feels great to finish! I'm looking forward to Sunday when I finish month 2! yay you!! I plan on doing month 2 all over again... :)

I was about to post how everyone was doing! I'm doing well, just wish I could stick with the daily workouts- because of a meeting at school after work, or having to work in the evening, sometimes it gets in the way of working out. At most I'll go 2 days with out working out and I miss it. Apparently this change up has been…

See my post in "What are your daily calories" Don't stop and get distracted, keep going, keep going, keep going! :)

I'm a 46 year old female 5'3" started at 180 currently at 169, goal where I look my best is 140-145 MFP says I should be eating 1200 to loose 1 pound/week. I do eat my calories back from what I burn, and I eat as clean as I can. I have lost 4 1/2" total and 3 almost 4 dress pant sizes.... yet the scale hasn't shown a loss…

aww! I would so totally do that for my child! Awesome mom! :flowerforyou:

I love pure cardio and abs! I do the abs first then the pure cardio. Works well for me. :)

First of all, I know you seem to be obsessed with the scale. Put it away. Seriously. That is the most frustrating thing ever. I was obsessed like you. I actually saw an increase of 2 lbs since I had lost 11 pounds since I started Insanity. Since I put it away I am paying more attention to what fits, how my muscles are…

That's right, it's important to listen to our bodies and recognize it. It's not a loss, just a readjustment. Hope you feel better! have a good day! :)

I must be weird, I don't care for Cardio Recovery all that much. I mean it's good and different, but I don't seem to get the "satisfaction" I usually get from the other workouts. :) rewards system? Not yet. ... Other than shopping for new clothes here and there, out of necessity.

Thanks everyone! I do push myself, but also recognize when I need to take a few deep breaths and continue as I can keeping up pretty well. Yesterday's average heart rate was 131 and max was 151. And I was "in zone" for 32 of the 40 minutes. I am following my daily calorie intake and eating what I burned and still staying…

I have fresh okra growing right now and I chop it up in pieces and saute them in a pan with Pam on med -low heat until golden brown turning both sides. It doesn't "taste" like okra like this and it never gets slimy. It has a nutty flavor and just delicious and fresh. It's very yummy :)

Yes, I understand that it's not only the calorie burn. I definitely have noticed that my clothes are fitting much better, I actually dropped 2 pant sizes. and yes you are right about stamina cardio ability etc... I have noticed much more improvement there as well. Thanks for the reminder to look at the "whole picture"…

WOW! most excellent!! all this hard work has certainly paid off! Keep it up! :drinker:

so awesome isn't it? such a motivation to keep going! :drinker:

Once a month on Friday's we can wear jeans to work . When I put mine on this morning and buckled the belt, I had to go down 3 holes in order for them to stay on! Down 3 holes! wow, I was pleased, gave me more motivation to continue Insanity!! :bigsmile:

Thanks for the invite! :smile: I'm 46 years old,mother of 2 (16 and 6) (not a typo) - I'm 5'3 currently weighing in at 167.5, and have a goal to be looking as good as I can for my Birthday in October! I just completed Day 5 of Insanity! I was thinking I was too old for this, but so far so good. I threw up the first day of…

Your story brought tears to my eyes- truly!! What an amazing road you've traveled! Keep up the fantastic work!! :happy:

I'm starting this evening! I'd like to join too :)
