On my own... someone always wants to TALK. If I say two words to someone at the gym, I feel "chatty." The only time I go with someone to the gym is if I KNOW I'm going to try and max out and I need a spotter I can trust. Otherwise it's headphones and silence.

Quit drinking and going on message boards!! :)

I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. At least you did SOMETHING on those days. On the Fit Test + (something else) days, I only do the Fit Test because I don't want to hold back knowing that I have ANOTHER workout coming up.

Very nice work. Keep going and DIG DEEPER!!

If you want to confirm "muscle" gains. Check your watch band, check your jeans' waist, and check your belts. Are you going past the standard notches?

It's an excuse. No offense, but you're a quitter. You found an excuse... so you already lost. Didn't you ever see "The Hustler" with Paul Newmann? Once you have an excuse, you've already failed, because it doesn't matter anymore. i'm half-way through my SECOND time through INSANITY. It's anything but repetitious. I STILL…

TEXAS PETE HOT SAUCE!!! GOD'S GIFT TO DIETERS!!! NO. CALORIES.

Maybe the program is telling you that you're gorgeous just the way you are ;)

I'm 5'10" 228lbs. On the 50-60 minute insanity workouts I'm in the 900 cal range according to my "Sportline" heart monitor, purchased at Best Buy for 60 bucks.

Don't feel bad, hun. I finished my 60 days and I was still having trouble toward the end of day 60. I ended up losing 36 pounds and about 4 inches on my waist. I don't think that there was a workout that I was able to do in the whole two months where I 100% kept up with that sicko Shaun T.

It's been my experience that if you're making progress and you're getting ripped up, you won't WANT a cheat meal.

I am through 60+ days of INSANITY. One thing I know about the recovery week: Don't take it easy. I kind of COASTED through the recovery week and boy, was in for a shock when I got to the MAX workouts in month 2. Do the exercises, but keep the intensity high. You will be glad when you get to the next level. Here were my…

It's not. It's not a disability. Not being able to put away the cookie dough is not a disease. It's a WEAKNESS; a character flaw. I know a guy who is so fat he has a handicapped parking pass. Why? because he can't walk through the parking lot. So now we are ENABLING him. It's sad and pathetic. I struggled with my weight…

Nothing wrong with taking a mental health day and relaxing. Go eat some Oreos and get that craving out of your system. You'll find you'll hit the gym harder when you know you've been bad.

Yes... and that's why Little Debbie and I stopped seeing each other....... .......total *kitten*, by the way.

If you're looking to just cut weight, go 72 hours of lean protein and NO carbs. Load up on fish, chicken, turkey, etc. The lack of carbs will turn your body into a cannibal and you'll start feasting on your stores. That's what I do. It worked at 250 for me... and again at 242.

Excellent question... I am sure this is a personal thing that has to be figured out through trial and error, but I know that for me, I can't finish a workout later than 9pm or else I'm up until midnight. It takes me a while to cool down and unwind. Right now, I am doing the INSANITY workout and I've been starting around 5…

Larry David... for sure.

Yesterday was my first day in Month 2 (not counting the fit test). I thought I was doing alright until I got to about 21 minutes left and I started getting nauseous. All the bending at the waist and going floor-to-feet made me motion sick, like I had been on a really wild rollercoaster 5 times in a row. I didn't finish the…

The criteria for a sport is is there another person or TEAM that's trying to keep you from accomplishing a goal. Golf... not a sport. NASCAR... not a sport. Track...not a sport. Football, baseball, hockey, basketball, tennis.... all sports.

You and I are at about the EXACT same spot in the INSANITY workout. Yesterday was my first day in recovery week. The only difference is that I am RELIGIOUS about staying below 1800 net calories and I have one CHEAT meal a WEEK (which usually means dinner of Friday where I have seconds and a beer). I've lost 22 pounds and…

Country music and smoking are BIG ones. I'll say "Intolerant of sports" & "not a 'dog-person.'"

INSANITY. Skip p90x if you're looking for a compliment to the gym (you're already doing weights there). I'm on day 24 of INSANITY. I've missed ONE day because of a stomach virus, otherwise I've been ON every day without fail. I'm down 24 pounds and lost 2 inches on my waist.... and I haven't touched a weight in almost a…

I was going to go for this look....

Today is Day 21 for me. Lost 20 pounds so far. I've been fairly religious about it because I am under doc's orders not to lift weights so I picked up INSANITY because there aren't any weights. I'm basically just using MFP as my nutrition guide but I go heavy on the protein. It's really awesome and I'm enjoying the…

Anyone remember "The Simpsons" episode where Homer was thrown out of the All-You-Can-Eat seafood restaurant for eating too much and he sued? He got the lawyer who successfully sued the creators of "The Neverending Story."

Sue. They are discriminating against you.

"Lose Yourself" seems to be the overwhelming favorite for a workout playlist favorite.

Nothing wrong with that... nothing cheesy about that!! I use this one, personally. A little less cliche, but still ROCKY.... http://youtu.be/IWR0k_R6XDE

I have an entire "Theme" playlist that is mostly instrumentals, but this is the one that I save for the last PUSH... It's called "Going the Distance" and it's prominently displayed in the ROCKY I and II soundtrack. It's not "Gonna Fly Now." It's the song that plays during the next to last round versus Apollo Creed in ROCKY…
