You can add nuts to your diet too. Almonds are a good snack!

Water weight comes off at first so you might see a bigger number at first but that's not necessary actual pounds of fat, so keep that in mind.

I was/am intimidated by the Insanity program too. But I've been wanting to do it so I said I'm going to. Just did the fit test yesterday and later today will be the first official workout. The fit test worked me so I know its going to be rough, but I am determined. I may not be able to do every second of every workout but…

Okay, I want them daily and I find w/o the yellow part they are not as filling for a snack, maybe that's just craziness in my head. The workout reference was in part to working out to help fight off bad cholesterol so I worried if I don't do a lot of exercise it wouldn't cancel out. But after reading the responses I won't…

Awesome job! Really inspiring!

You are doing such an amazing job! Keep it up and just WOW! Sexy and you know it!

After reading I'm thinking its calorie intake, I'm having a difficult time trying not to eat too many but not too little. I stay close to 1200 daily. My breakfast protein shake is: 1 cup spinach 1 frozen banana 1 tbsp almond butter 1 scoop body fortress protein powder (chocolate peanut butter) 1 cup Almond Silk Unsweetened…

I technically have a membership seeing how I can go on base and use the gym but I do not. I do all workouts at home. Jillian DVD's and treadmill. My cooldown usually includes walking the dog. When my husband comes home we are going to look at a membership at one of the 24 fitness places, seeing how my current schedule is…

I am in! Current size: 14/16 Goal for the end of September: 12 Lets do this!

I bought her Ripped in 30 days as well as her extreme shed and shred. I noticed I drip a lot more sweat with her extreme DVD and I've only done the 1st workout. There are 2 on there both 30 minutes each, but if you do just 1 workout w/ warm up and cooldown it totals 42 minutes. She combines tons of different moves, cardio,…

I did/do 30 DS daily (already went 30 days this past Wednesday) and also got on my treadmill AFTER the DVD workout. I would go anywhere between 20-50 minutes on treadmill. I am currently mixing it up. I have been doing 30 day shred (phase 3) and now started ripped in 30. Now with those 2 together I find it harder to get on…

My scales name is Fred. And I want him to drop dead! Just because you eat the right amount of calories or below while exercising does not mean poof pounds will melt off. I'm learning too that hard work needs to be met by the right calorie intake. I've pumped up my workouts due to not seeing a move on my scale the last…

Lunch. Turkey Burrito! Ground turkey with onion in it. Then on a whole wheat tortilla I put homemade guacamole, pico de gallo, and romaine lettuce. SO yummy in my tummy!

My starting weight when I joined was 198 and I too want to lose at least 50. I'm 25. I'm down to 187 and it sure can be tough! But we are in similar situations!

It's really how often you wish to do it. I however don't think doing it daily will be very productive because it takes time to lose an inch/inches. I weigh myself weekly and I am going to add measurements. Some may say this is too often but it's what I choose. You just have to find what you think is a good fit.

Well done indeed! You look younger now with that weight off! Keep up the amazing work. :bigsmile:

Yay!

My husband and I are trying to have kids as well. Its been on hold while he's gone though (military). But when he gets back its baby making time! I am nervous about gaining as well. I even joke with him I will lose weight THEN get pregnant and gain it back just to have to lose it again. But it is important to gain the…

Hiya Mike, I am definitely here to help, I too am going on my weight-loss/life changing journey so any help I can provide I will.

I'm definitely in! Sounds like a challenge to me. Kudos to the idea also!

You're looking AWESOME. So amazed. I am currently on day 8 of Phase 1. By the way, love your tattoos!

Thank you all for the advice!

I don't want to go spend $120.00+ on DVD's and give up. I've dieted plenty in the past and I want to make sure I'm in it and don't quit it. I think if I work out long enough I will invest in one of the big packs of DVD's but I want/have to reach my smaller goals first. Is there some single DVD's out there that do offer…

Thanks for all the responses and advice. I have been trying to cut back on carbs as well. I will have to ignore MFP red number at the totals part of my food intake!

Are you just trying to lose or also bulk up?

I think it happened today because I started my meals a bit late. I ate first around noon and that was just an apple. Then my first meal was around 4, next meal was around 6:30/7 and then last meal around 9 because I was pushing to not have too few calories. I need to make sure I am eating earlier. That way I am not just…

My MFP goal is 64grams. I ate a bit too much today. Things have protein that I was not to well aware of. I hope to just make sure I don't keep going over. Whole point to eat less for me is to lose fat, don't want to eat it back in.

Hey, I have already started the 30 Day Shred, started on 7/23/12. My older sister got me onto it, she's 2 days ahead of me. So I bought it and my sister-in-law and I decided to do it together, well in separate homes/towns. Though I won't be starting on July 30th, I'm up for joining even more doing it. I am definitely out…

Thanks for the help! Should I be complaining that I have to eat more? LOL.
