I love circuit training. I've done 30DS and most of Insanity (starting again tomorrow). I love feeling stronger and seeing improvement, and still getting my *kitten* handed to me every day.

I would build my dream house (nothing huge, but with plenty of space for a couple more kids). I"d want a big gourmet kitchen and a gym with my own chef and trainer. I would buy (or pay off) houses for all immediate family and friends who deserve it. I would also get them all a new car. I would build my hubby his dream…

ITA! I don't have many pictures either. That's slowly changing, mostly due to my sister-in-law. She's so thin and pretty, but instead of being stuck up, she always tries to make me feel better and insists that I take pictures all the time. She's helped me pose to look thinner, and even stands in front of me sometimes to…

True happiness. I'm happy in every other aspect of my life. I have a pretty great marriage, 3 amazing kids, a nice house, nice cars. I have great family and friends. I have an awesome life, but I'm miserable.

Oh, and this is what I'm most looking forward to! My hubby picked it out about 6 weeks ago. I'm hoping to wear it for our anniversary in December, but if not then, I'll definitely be wearing it by his birthday next July! http://www.fredericks.com/Sequin_Skirt_Temptress_Dress/21309,default,pd.html?cgid=cl26

My moment was 2 years ago. I was 22 and a mom of 3, chugging along, enjoying life. Then it hit me.....I was halfway to the age my Daddy was when he passed away from a massive heart attack. And he was only a little overweight. My children don't remember him. They know who he is because we talk about him and we have his…

HA! I only do things in even numbers!

I swear I have a bit of an OCD problem, cause I have a lot of quirky little habits. My kids probably think the funniest habit is counting stairs. I count stairs every time I go up or down....LOL. They think it's hilarious.

What's the one food (or meal) you keep on hand at all times for a quick, easy and healthy meal during those times when you'd normally be tempted to eat out? Conversely, what's the one food that is no longer allowed in your house, because it elicits overindulgence? I have 2 favorite quick meals lately. Both of them come…

Thanks Jamaica! I'm excited to get started again! I've been back on my diet for 2 days, and I've already dropped 1.8lbs!

Hi! My name is Amber. I was doing very well with my weight loss until a month ago. I lost my motivation. My hubby was working out with me, and then he injured his back. I want that back. I need someone to give me a kick everyday and help hold me accountable. I am currently at 222.2lbs, and want to reach 150lbs by the end…

Nichole here!

I agree also that being a good parent has nothing to do with age. My stepdaughter's mother was 17 when she had her. She would drop Ariana off with my husband's grandparents for weeks at a time. Ariana slept on the floor, never got her medication (for hyperthyroidism), and wasn't fed. I had my son at 17, and never asked for…

HA! I had 3 children at 19! (The oldest is my stepdaughter, but we had full custody when my youngest was born.) Not to mention that my stepdaughter's mother disappeared around that time as well, so I never got weekend 'breaks'. It's been a struggle some days, but I have 3 beautiful children that I would die for. We've…

AGREED! You said it so much better than I did!

I feel exactly the opposite. I was a teen mom (twice!) and I wish these shows had been around when I was a teen. Maybe I would have been more careful. Don't get me wrong, I adore my children and would not have things any other way. They are my life. My only regret is not being able to finish college. I'm one of the lucky…

I think it depends on how hard you're working out, honestly. I'm doing Insanity right now, so I have to eat before starting or I feel weak. When I was doing 30DS, I never felt weak if I didn't eat before. I think your body will let you know what you need to do. Pay attention to how you feel, and listen to your body. HTH!

This thread is amazing and just what I needed! Thank you all so much for posting! I can't wait to post my own B&A's!

I started Insanity with my husband last Monday. It is INTENSE, but I'm already seeing results. We're following the Nutrition Guide as well. I lost 4lbs and 0.5in off my waist in just the first week. It is very high impact, but I've started looking forward to it. We're planning on doing at least 2 rounds.

Today is Day 4 of Insanity for me and my husband. We are following the Nutrition Guide, and in only 4 days, I've lost 3.5 pounds. It is difficult, but it has been so worth it. As hard as it is, I actually look forward to it every morning!

I"ve been without a computer for the last several days, but I've been keeping up with 30DS. Today is Day 8 for me.

Today was Day 2, and so far, I've been able to stick to my goal of doing Level 1 twice a day!

I've started 30DS a few times, and given up. I started again today because it works, and I've got a vacation coming up in 6 weeks that I'll need to wear a bathing suit for. Gotta look better for vaca! Oh, and this week I'm doing Level 1 twice a day because I ate horribly over the weekend (daughter's birthday and TOM...BAD…

Fiber One Original cereal, 1/4 cup a day for a snack!

I have Ariana Candice, Dalton Gage, and Georgia Erin Anne!

Lost 2.4 this week! Finally out of my rut! Current weight is 231.6!

I'm a stay at home mom of 3, and I also babysit 2 little boys. I'm constantly on my feet, running around with the kids, etc. I have mine set for lightly active. I used to waitress, and staying home with all these kids doesn't touch what I used to do then, although being a stay at home mommy is definitely more challenging!…

Just found this thread, but count me in! I started 30DS 5 days ago, and I love it!

Another SAHM here! My babies are almost 10(!), 6, and 4. I also babysit two little boys for a friend. They are 5yrs and 16 mths. I"ve got a bet going with my hubby right now that if I can lose 40 (26 more to go!) by the end of March, I can get off my BC so that we can try for our final baby at the end of the summer! I…

I'm in! I need some serious motivation! I"ve been really sick the last couple of days (and really slack as well!), so I only did 15 min of 30DS this morning. I couldn't make it through some of the exercises from coughing. :( I'll catch up though! Thanks for this challenge!
