  • I'm joining now. I just finished the last of our bottle tonight so it should be ok for me.
  • Ok so I switched it to lightly active and that puts me at 1360. Should I eat back calories in that case? That is a big difference. Thanks everyone!

  • Edie will turn three on 1/24. She starts preschool next week. Her nickname is 'me too' because she literally does everything her older sister does. (5.5 years) I have started getting up early in the morning to workout which really jumpstarts my diet as well.and we just put my husbands old weight bench and barbell set in…
  • I sleep in my clothes and workout in my basement. Definitely helps that I don't have to drive anywhere.
  • Thanks everyone for suggestions! As soon as we have more room I would love a barbell and squat rack but the basement is pretty limited, as are the funds. I'll look into those programs.
  • Me!
  • I am having a really hard time balancing work with spending time with my 2 year old and 5 year old and then having the energy to workout at night. (I know- everyone's problem right?) So I got up at 5:30 today to lift in the basement. I always feel so much better when I workout in the morning but that damn bed is so comfy.…

  • They go up to 55 each so I could do a decent amount
  • It's the damn batwings!
  • For general circuit lifting, you can download ipersonal trainer. I really liked that one. You tell it what you want to focus on that day and it creates a program for you. It changes every time and it keeps track of your previous weights so you can progress.
  • Thanks everyone. And one more stupid question. I know this is a full body workout and you can't spot train, but I need to see change the most in my triceps, which I know is a very difficult area to change. Has anyone seen improvements in their arm muscles?
  • Honestly, I need the quick results. And I know this one works. I make it to about 6 weeks of any workout plan before I get bored. It happened last time I tried to complete the program. Having it only be 8 weeks long is the shortest program out there even though it is a crazy intense 8 weeks.
  • I am halfway through week two and measured and weighed myself two days ago. So far, no change but I feel different. Everything is tighter and a little firmer so I'm not getting down yet. I also know that it is month two that the results really start to show.
  • I definitely feel a difference working out in the morning vs the night. I will try to get him on board with that but we would have to be up around 5 to do it and I'm not sure I can convince him. I'll try though.
  • I am on day 6 tonight. When doing the recovery workout (spoiler alert...not a recovery!) I made the mistake of doing the lunges twice on the same leg. I didn't realize I was doing the wrong leg until the end of the set. Now my left quad is so sore and my right leg feels fine. And because I am doing it with my husband, we…
  • So is this the group then? Or is there another group being made. How is it going? I am on day 6 today. Random soreness in different areas...specifically calves and my left leg because I accidently did the lunges from the recovery workout on the same leg. Woomp woomp.
  • So during the recovery video the other day, I accidently did the lunge sets on the same leg. Now I can barely move my left leg. Owwwwww. Day 6 tonight.
  • I am in the same boat. I will be 2.5 weeks into it when we go away. I'll try to get some running in when we are at the beach but I'm planning on just picking back up where I left off. Or maybe you can repeat the week you just finished.
  • Add me please. I am on my second round. I made it to week 6 last time around and would like to make it all the way through this time. I am 4 days in so far.
  • I'm going to be doing it starting today!
  • Go to this website and fill out the info. If you eat less than your bmr (the amount of calories needed to lay in bed all day and do nothing,) your body will go into starvation mode and you will not lose weight. http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/
  • You can also get a decent workout with resistance bands.
  • I would say eat more. Eat at maintenance for a few weeks. Your body may be going in starvation mode because you are burning so much. Just a thought!
  • I just did no more trouble zones for the first time. I wasn't panting as much as I was when I did insanity but I was sweating just as much. 350 calories burned in 50 minutes. Not too shabby!
