Welcome! I am mom of 4 boys ages 8 yrs to 9 months. I am an avid runner. In fact running my 3rd half this Saturday. I wake up around 5am pretty much 5-6 days a wk to get my runs in or weight training.

You can lose the weight if you are determined too. I just had my 4th child and I am 15lbs away from where I was before pregnancy 2 months post partum. With my first two I gained over 70lbs each and lost it all. If you are willing to put in the time and energy to work out and eat healthy the weight comes off. Also Debbe2…

I did Insanity last Aug while training for a half. I think you can eastily still keep up with your weight training with Insanity since it is more cardio based. The first month the DVDs are about 30 mins and the 2nd month they are closer to 45 mins

I love running. It has always been a passion of mine. I am 32wks pregnant with my 4th child and still running at least 3 miles a wk 1-3 days a wk. Can't wait to get my distance and speed back though

feel free to add me adamswife23. We are all here to help. :)

I have a Garmin Forerunner 110 and LOVE it!! Cost me just over $150 but so worth every penny!!! I will never run without it now. Their customer service is great too! I recently had problems with my watch and they let me ship it to them and sent me a new one free of charge and it has been over a year since I bought mine.

I feel the same way. I am 25wks pregnant with my 4th and have gained 20lbs. i don't feel beautiful or sexy pregnant. I see the back fat and love handles and the spreadage that has happened in the hips and thighs. :( I just keep telling myself the next two and half months will go by quick (I always go early) so that way I…

I will send you a friend request :)

i sent you an email since I can't log onto it here at work. Love Pinterest and Etsy!! Got almost all my nursery stuff off Etsy!

I give into my cravings and just try to moderate them. This is my 4th pregnancy and I know personally no matter what I gain at least 50lbs while pregnant. I have been doing weights with slight jogging and have gained 17lbs and am 20wks.

I am still doing Chalean Extreme and jogging. I won't lie I can't wait till I have this baby to get back into my normal workout routine. LOL!

This was nothing you did that caused you to miscarry a 2nd time. It was just God's way even though we do not understand wny now. I have a friend who lost her first 2 pregnancies at 8wks like you, but then went on to have 3 healthy pregnancies. Please don't blame yourself. Just know that there are a lot of us praying for…

I also just started the slim and shape solution today! I tried it back in Dec, but fell off the wagon right before Christmas. Are any of you on Facebook? My name is Rebecca White if you want to add me you can and we can help hold each accountable to make sure we do our workouts, I am also doing the chalene Extreme DVD too.

I was thinking the same thing. I know since I am training for a half right now. I was kind of upset about it, because I think the need to show the importance of proper training for a marathon. It left it open where someone who is a non runner would think they could just go out and run one because people on the biggest…

you look great

I won't lie Insanity is rough. I finished a month ago. I didn't lose much weight, but I didn't have much to lose to begin with, I did it so I could say that I did it. you are going to sore depending on how hard you push yourself during the workouts. I was literally dripping with sweat after each workout, and really gained…

I don't, but I just started looking into the paleo diet myself. I want to start eating more natural as well.

I just finished Insanity two weeks ago. It is WORTH IT!!! I dropped 4lbs and lost 5inches! Just keep pushing play and you won't be disappointed with sticking with it, I promise. I know it can be tough some days to push play and keep up with it, but I always told myself "try 5 minutes" and if I didn't get into by then at…

I have never tried those, but I have just finished Insanity and am on Chalean Extreme with beachbody and have had AMAZING results. The videos are about 30-50 mins and you get a good workout in.

Resistance Bands are good. Anything Jillian Michaels or Bob Harper are good too. It all depends on the amount of time you have to put towards your workouts. there are awesome videos that incorporate cardio and strength training offered through beachbody such as turbofire and chalean extreme. My husband is a stay at home…

Is it just your calves or is it your shins too? It could be your shoes and that they don't offer you enough support. How is your form when you run? Do you keep your head and neck stiff or do you let them relax? How long have you been running?

Hi! The 6 weeks will go by fast. The toughest thing is learning how to survive on a liquid diet since we are so used to always chewing food. I was on a liquid diet for 6 months when I had my upper n lower jaw broke. It sucked!! I lost a lot of weight obviously. This site is a great site to meet people and help with…

http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml This link should work. It is a really great program. I have known lots of people who have great success with it!

you will want to add in roughly 500 extra calories a day. I am currently still nursing my 16 month old and for awhile I was only consuming 1200 calories a day and I could really tell the affect on my supply it had, but once I increased my calories back up I was good to go.

Shakeology is a GREAT tasting shake that beachbody offers. It is only 150 calories and has 15g protien. Otherwise I think eggs would be a good choice since you haven't had luck with other sources. Do you drink a lot of water during the day? Increasing your water intake can usually help with reducing bloating.

Have you tried increasing your calories a little bit? Sometimes we have to shock our bodies to get it moving again. Are you changing up your workouts? That can help too

you are lookin GREAT!! Keep up the hard work because it is paying off. You should be so proud of yourself.

Welcome!! I love this site because it is a great way for us all to motivate and help one another reach our goals

I have 3 days left of Insanity and plan on doing Asylum soon.

I enjoy sports, but with work, kids, extra activities for my kids it is hard to find the time to play sports with a team or even find one for that matter. Like a previous poster stated runners usually do it because they love it. I have always loved running and it is my ME time where I don't have the kids hounding me, the…
