Oh boy. Not a great first week! I only did days 1-4 so that's 4 points, I did the intro so that's 1 and I logged twice so that's 2. So I only have 7. I will do better this week!

Hi there! I currently weight 210 lbs. My goal weight for the 13 weeks is 172 (pre preg weight). I'll have to do the measurements at a later time. I am currently breastfeeding my 9 month old daughter. She eats solids as well. I am hoping to be lucky enough to breastfeed her until at least a year. If I can get to 172 I will…

Hi! I'm Marielle. I also live in NC but we'll be moving to CT in Feb/March 2015. I have an 8.5 month old girl named Mara and I do completely love being a mommy butttt I really need to get this weight off of me. I had a tough pregnancy with swelling and gained 84 lbs in total. I've lost about 50 of it so far and have 34 to…

I disagree with both posters before. I modfied recently to try to take in 100-130 grams of protein a day and I notice a HUGE difference. I have been limiting my starchy carbs as well, but replenishing enough from workouts. I have more energy in my workouts, I am losing faster, and I look more toned and less puffy overall.…

I have an intolerance as well and I've noticed that mozzarella doesn't really bother me. You should be careful with yogurts and coffee creamer. Coffeemate makes lactose free creamers.

Insanity is used as a cardio element in hybrid workouts with other Beachbody programs like P90x and TurbeFire, etc. I think that you could definitely do it as an occasional workout. Maybe look up one of the hybrid schedules and aim to target other similar muscle groups via TRX workouts as recommended above or even workout…

boobs, back fat and muffin top. stomach is ok. legs have always been big. Tired of looking so boxy.

Ha someone said that the weight seems like it is superglued. SO TRUE. I did insanity and really changed my shape and I'm happy with my results. I obviously want to go further but i only lost about 8 lbs overall. It feels like i lost 15 though bc of the body changes. Hoping to get a few more actual number lbs off and maybe…

ooh this is a good one. OK I'm gonna add it. Great motivation to keep me going before bachelorette party time!

It's hard to tell bc I dont know what intensity you did but I am 155 and 5'7" and a 40 min session burned around 350-450 for me depending on the workout. I'd say you're safe to assume 350. Congrats on starting. It's a great program and will really re-shape you!

Amazing! I finish on Sunday but my results are definitely not that good. May I ask what you were eating?

Hi! My sister owns a fitness studio in Jupiter. You should check it out. Mostly women and there are a ton of young people you can make new friends with! www.fitnessredefined.com

I tried it for about a week. I lost 4-5 lbs in that week, sure, but i felt HORRIBLE. I did everything by the book and not only was I completely hungry, I was getting weird pains in my legs from lactic acid buildup. You're not supposed to work out at all and I was living in Queens and working in Manahattan, NY so even…

BIG BLUE!!! Huge Giants fan here!

It's a great program. Listen to your body though. You don't have to do every stretch, or every rep. You don't have to jump on every circuit. Do speed squats instead of squat jumps, etc. Modify for you. You have the videos and you can always do another round. That's what I'm doing. I haven't seen fabulous numbers in inches…

I haven't done them at the same time, but I am doing Insanity now and I will tell you this: 1) If you're going to double up, double up on Month 1 of Insanity. Month 2 is just too hard. 2) Don't double up if you're not in awesome shape already because you WILL burn out. OR you won't be able to do either program to their…

You are likely gaining because you are adding muscle faster than you are losing fat. Muscle is more dense, so the same amount of weight in muscle is MUCH smaller than that amount of weight in fat. Stick with it and as the fat sheds away from your body and your body composition changes so that you are mostly muscle, you…

I think you'll be fine if you listen to your body. I would get close with your doctor too. Make sure you have a clear sense of your vitals before doing any exercise.

I want to be in it! I will be finishing my first round of Insanity on September 16th and was planning on starting a second round September 24. Lets do it!

We met in elementary school and actually got voted Class Flirts together in 9th grade! He was about 4'9 and a total punk and I was taller and had started developing. We did not like each other. Through Facebook, years later we got back in touch and realized we had a mutual LOVE for the New York Giants. Many failed attempts…

THIS. It is absolutely amazing!!!! And its great with the Soy Flaxseed chips. Also, if you're a cereal person the High Fiber O's are awesome. I usually go there once or twice a week and some staples are Power to the Greens (its like in a salad bag but its a mix of kale, spinach, and swiss chard) Unsweetened Vanilla Almond…

If you are looking to have a protein shake for recovery and soreness try Designer Whey Chocolate. I make a shake after my Insanity workouts in the morning with 1 scoop of protein powder (only 100 cals per scoop and 18g protein), 1 tsp Ground Flaxseed (I use bob's red mill), 1/2 cup of mixed berries or mixed fruit (usually…

This. The Ninja is the greatest thing ever. I have the one that has the cups you blend directly into and the bigger piece for making doughs and stuff.

I LIVE by the Under Armour Armour Bra. It's amazing.

There's one day left for the groupon deal for Rockin Body http://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-shaun-t-seven-workout-dvd-set?utm_medium=afl&utm_campaign=3309583&utm_source=rvs

Ok first of all.. good on you for re-committing. Second of all, never speak to that guy again. HOW RUDE! You look tremendously happy in your profile pic and 15 lbs down and maintained is GREAT! Be proud of the fact that you've committed to MFP for as long as you have. Remind yourself of why you want to lose weight (and I…

Agree wholeheartedly. I just bought the Under Armour "Armour Bra" and it is the best thing ever. It keeps them contained so that there's no bouncing. I'm sure your doctor is expressing concern for how the extra weight in the front of your body can throw off your ability to hold your core and stay true to your center. Good…

You look like a different person! That is such a wonderful gift you are giving yourself and your children. Congratulations!

The Amazon reviews are mixed... A lot of people say that its not cardio strong and that it bulks you up compared to other programs. I dunno... If you do decide to do it let me know. Personally, I think that it might not be a good challenge to take on.

Oh hunny you are singing my tune. It's so easy to spiral into the comfort of all the "bad" habits that just are so damn easy!!! Don't fret. All you need is one day in the right direction. Motivate for one measly part of one day and you will get the bug back.
