I can definitely see a difference! Good job keep it up :)

When I am out and about and hungry, I'll usually buy peanuts as a snack. They are usually pretty cheap and if you are lucky they will carry the unsalted kind.

Yes! I gained since starting Insanity but I am not concerned. Just stick with it.

I didn't count calories when pregnant, so I am not sure if I ate that much more or not. I would talk to your Dr to see what exactly you should be eating. I will say, from experience, the less weight you put on during pregnancy the easier it is to get rid of it! My first pregnancy, I was put on bedrest at 6 months in the…

Water with MiO ..oh yeah and chocolate skim milk. Love chocolate milk lol

There are a lot of no's on that list..... :/

You look great!! And speaking from experience, staying active during your pregnancy really does make it easier to "bounce" back into shape after delivery (and women who workout during pregnancy are more likely to have easy deliveries). I am 9 months post partum from my second baby and I am thinner than I was when I got…

Wow you look great!!

I've never had a gym membership and don't plan on getting one. I own my own equipment but I don't use it much anymore now that I do work out videos. I did 30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30 and now I am in week 2 of Insanity. Here are some before/in progress pictures (I've had two kids so be nice :))

A pair of hand weights (3-5 lbs I would say) and a mat preferably. I found it good for beginners, I had never done any sort of strength training before and it helped me get back into workout out 6 days a week since its only 20 minutes a day. I finished two rounds, then Ripped in 30. Now I've moved on to Insanity since I…

I am not sure, I think 45? My Dr told me I have an "athlete's heart rate" though.

Did you read the study? It also says "What is unclear is whether sitting itself is the culprit, or whether sitting is just a marker of another unhealthy aspect of lifestyle—such as TV watching—that is primarily responsible for these observations." Hardly evidence.

Do people really spend the time worrying about these sort of fear mongering "statistics"? I work as a software programmer and have 9 hour shifts...I don't plan on changing careers any time soon. I eat properly and work out about 45mins - an hour a day 6 days a week. Common sense suggests that if I were to spend that time…

Tomorrow I will be done my second week! Love it so far!

If you enjoy it then drink what you like! I wouldn't stress over it really. I avoid alcohol as much as possible, not because of calories or whatever but I just feel better physically without it.

Yay you look awesome!! You are in the size I want to be in LOL! (I wear a size 8 right now)

I agree, we don't. Also a lot of people seem to think natural = safe, when it is not.

I don't think anyone should just take this without talking to their Dr. I used it in college as an anti depressant and its fairly powerful. It did reduce my appetite which I suppose could be seen as helping aid in weight loss but I certainly would not use it for that reason because once you stop you will just gain that…

I don't log it I just ignore it

I love smoothies. I find it helps me get in more fruit, vegetables and of course calories in. I add things like spinach, peanut butter, greek yogurt etc. It is working for me especially since its quick and easy to do and keeps me full. I drink one in the morning and usually one after lunch or after my workout. I used to…

I guess it depends on your preference. I definitely prefer Greek yogurt since most of the other ones you find in the store are that 0% fat crap, it tastes just awful.

Good job!!! I am hoping to have similar results with Insanity!! :)

Hello :) I am 25, I have two kids and I am on my second week of Insanity and working on eating better. Feel free to add me

Wow that sounds awful

I always buy extra lean meat and don't look at the prices. I don't understand why people cheap out when it comes to food.

Have you been taking measurements? Do you notice a difference with your body? I am on week two of Insanity and I have also gained, but I am not worried. I follow the exercises exactly how I am supposed to and eat properly. My body already looks different so I am sure it will work out in the end. GL :)

I LOVE your results you look amazing! I am really hoping mine are similar :D I am in the middle of week 2 of Insanity and I love it so far! I definitely recommend it to anyone who's thinking about doing it.

I am 5'7, small frame and I've had two kids. I am currently aiming for 135 lbs but I am building muscle not just losing fat.

AMAZING you look great!

Exactly. It is a double standard.
