  • I agree, you could be over doing it! Our bodies need fuel and rest. Usually when excessive fatigue hits, there's something missing! Hope it gets better for you!
  • By replacement drinks, do you mean Shakeology? I'm on my 3rd round of Insanity and have done other BeachBody programs like T25 and Turbo Fire and have never even tried a shake other than what I have made on my own. I would rather eat my calories/nutrition versus drink it. Just my opinion. If you are asking if you need it…
  • I have an FT7 as well, would not work out w/o it!!
  • This is my 3rd round. Just wanting to lose the holiday fluff. After my 2nd round, I went on to T25, but the holidays hit and the cal burns with T25 were not up to par compared to the longer Insanity vids. I know the results I got before and I'm ready for my round 3. I actually started yesterday b/c I alter my weekly…
  • I recently fell in love with Maurices "kaylee" style which is for curvy girls, also LOVE BKE 1921 Brand Jeans as well as Silver brand. Miss Me look good on curves as well.
  • I would keep pushing forward!!! You don't have weight really to lose, but I will say you should notice body changes (you are!) and possibily inches lost. I am in round 2, 3 weeks or so left in month 2. I lost 10 lbs and 11 inches with round 1 and have lost another 4 pounds so far with round 2. I haven't measured inches…
  • Im still bf my 15 month old. I log it under food. There's many options, but you can search "breastfeeding" or "making mommy's milk", there's options for younger infant, older infants, you can also log by oz. if you pump and know that info. The older infant deducts about 250 cals, the younger infant deducts about 500 cals.
  • I just tried a couple of the dvd's right after doing my insanity workout and they seem like they are going to be great, just different than Insanity. I love Insanity and Shaun T so much. Im in my "recovery week" of round 2 so I may try TO a couple more days this week even though I'm technically supposed to be "recovering"…

  • Never heard of it! Now I'm gonna have to look into it! I just got Tap Out XT for after I finish round 2 of insanity. If Im not bored w/ Insanity, I may just keep doing it and have Tap Out to fall back on later. I might need to look into JNL Fusion. I found it on FB.

  • Love my Polar FT4. I would recommend any of the Polar HRM.
  • ^^^^YES...good point :)
  • I think the best thing to remember is that carbs are our immediate energy source and that we need them in moderation to function. You do need to focus on "good"/complex carbs as the mainstay for this group...brown rice, whole wheat pasta, quinoa, fruits....these are all complex, high fiber, etc. I think finding your own…
  • LOL. I love it and keeps it mixed up! What's sad is, I've done 17 weeks of TF and it's almost a piece of cake compared to Insanity LOL. I did say "almost" hahaha ;)
  • I'm currently doing an Insanity/TurboFire hybrid calendar. Agree with the only real way to tell is with a HRM. I would suggest getting one if you want to know your true heart rate and calorie burn during this workouts. I do not eat back my exercise calories most days, but I'm a numbers person and obsessed with my calorie…
  • I, too, have had 2 c sections. Last one was 13 months ago. I don't have the muffin top so to speak, but I do have a little flabby area right above my scar that is just annoying more than anything. In clothes, my stomach appears flat, but that area bothers me. I am just hoping I can get it reduced by working out more. I…
  • TurboFire is awesome! I heart Chalene Johnson...fun and exciting and never boring and kill the calories!
  • I have previously done 17 weeks of TurboFire and had started Insanity then tore my ACL (thanks Shaun T) LOL. I'm all recovered now after 5 months of PT and started a hybrid of TurboFire and Insanity two weeks ago and I love it! It's the best of both worlds and I'm typically burning 400-700 calories per workout! I actually…
  • I do believe in a cheat meal here and there or mixing and matching a few cheats with healthier foods. For example, getting a grilled chicken salad, dressing on the side at a mexican restaurant, but having a few chips/cheese dip/salsa...that way I'm allowing myself a little treat. I definitely do a harder workout to…
  • Just a little research data for you all... An average 150 pound person can consume 100 packets of Aspartame, equivalent to 18 12-oz. Diet Cokes per day before any reserach shows cancer causing risks. Who drinks that much?? Right, no one. In addition, The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has their own position…
  • Awesome! So proud of you for nursing twins!!! Wow, what an accomplishment!
  • Your carb goals are going to vary based on total calorie goal, but in general for PCOS patients, a consistent carbohydrate diet is recommended with goals of somewhere between 40-50% of total calorie intake. Hope that helps.
  • Egg yolks do contain about 170 mg+ of cholesterol per yolk. However, they are full of essential fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins as well. I do agree that potentially limiting to 1 yolk is a good idea. I will also say there are a lot of worse things you could be eating such as a lot of red meat, fried foods, packaged…
  • LOL. Well, since I've had my ACL repair, I do have to alter the exercises a bit. But I'm still able to get excellent burns and hoping for good results. We shall see, then I'm on to Tapout, I think :) I haven't done much of the Fire 60 b/c by the time I got into the advanced weeks, I was wayyy preggo and decided to pick up…
  • Well, first of all, you look amazing!!!! No, I have not ordered it. I have the Turbo Fire and Insanity programs. I did 17 weeks of TF, and was preggo the last several weeks lol. Then after the baby, I started Insanity and tore my ACL. Just finished 6 months of PT for that so I am good to GO! I found a hybrid schedule for…
  • Imma have to check that out!
  • That's awesome! My goal is to just keep going!! LOL. I would love to make it to a year....or at least until she decides "no more" lol. I currently still have to pump as I am away from her at work, but any time we are together it's strictly breastfeeding, mommy/baby bonding time. We love it!!
  • Thanks for the support you all!! I appreciate it!
  • I didn't care who won...just wanted to see Beyonce lol
