I'm over 40 and I lost 40 or so lbs in 6 months. I found that I needed to eat more because I ruined my metabolism. I ate low cal for too long (low cal being around 1200 cals) I didn't change what I was eating...just had more of it. I also changed up my workouts. I did LESS cardio and challenged myself by doing P90X. Before…

Please add me! I am beating down that middle aged *kitten*...it can be done, it's just a bit different now.:laugh:

I've always been confused by using the wrist to measure "frame size" I have small wrists, larger ankles, broad shoulders, tiny waist, small rib cage.....no matter how thin or low in bodyfat, I get my hip bones will never stick out....like I said confusing. SO, I just go by how I look and feel..not by weight or particular…

I was on vacation at my cottage.(In NY) My husband and daughter who was 3 went into Watertown to pick some things up. I stayed back to workout. After my workout, I was rewinding my VHS tape, and the TV was on. I saw the second plane hit. At first I thought it was some movie. I continued to watch and became panicked. I was…

I wholeheartedly agree that having a team/group to be accountable to is a HUGE part of success. I've found with my team, the ones who post daily, and help to support and encourage others are far more successful than the "drive bys" and people who never post.

Extra ab work is not needed with Insanity. If you must do something more, than substitute cardio abs with another routine. Just remember your abs need rest like any other muscle. :smile:

Yes, and it's worked for all my clients as well. You just have to make sure the foods you eat are quality foods...not just eating anything to reach a certain number of calories. Undereating will not get you healthy, and long term it WILL end up biting you in the butt. I know...because I lived it. I am upping my cals again…

I don't FART!... I whisper in my panties!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I haven't given up anything...I just avoid GMO foods at all costs. My motto is "Moderation not deprivation."

Insanity is more intense...I know it made me starving all the time. I recommend checking your nutrition, the things you are eating seem to not be fueling you as you need. (Feeling tired is an indicator) What type of nutrition plan are you following? Are you taking the prescribed rest? Sleeping well?

48 here...kicking *kitten* and taking names!:tongue:

Shannyfro= beautiful!

Pittska-yes very attractive you look fun too!

No I practice Kuk Sool Won. :smile:

Wish you were closer to me!

It went very well..it was so hot in the testing area...99 degrees and stuffy! About 50 minutes in I look at the clock, and say to myself..oh hell no! over two hours left. They killed us during the first hour, the next hour was a bit better and the last hour was great. Just as I was getting into my groove...it was over!…

I'm in! Feel free to add me! Age is just a number, that's my story....:tongue:

All those organizations have mass agendas too. I would believe someone who is in shape, trying to help others get healthy. Many of your questions do not even need an answer...artifcial sweeteners? It's artificial, of course they are not good for you. Getting healthy and in shape is not as difficult as so many people…

I don't know anyone who thinks that P90X or any other workout will teach them to defend themslves. P90X has made me (and several of my fellow students) a better martial artist by increasing my strength,speed,agility and flexibility. Looking good is a great benefit...no other program has defined me like this one. (PS> even…

I have always lifted weights and now I do basically P90X to keep me in shape. Since P90X builds muscle and explosive power, it has only made me a better martial artist. I am stronger,faster and have stamina that even the kids can't keep up with. I lift heavy and have built some good muscle mass....I am also super flexible.…

WTH!??? That is totally rude...and NO YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE SHREK!

Normally that is true. In my case I have lifted weights and worked out pretty much my whole life. I grew up in a family. all of which workout,eat healthy...my dad was a bodybuilder and powerlifter (he stills competes) So, that being said I have always known how to eat, lift...etc...(oh and I am a certified persobal trainer…

My daughter took this while I was doing Insanity!:laugh: I thought it was funny! Especially because the guy on TV has stopped and the words below say "Rest when needed."

Thanks for this chart...very eye opening. I have so many clients who want to take the cheap way out and they are putting crap into their bodies. Lead...mercury...I wish they put those that have sucralose in there too. NASTY!

I am a big *kitten* salad lover! If I go a day or two without one..I crave them! I have always loved salad...and always will. I like them with tons of stuff added...and homemade dressing, not the store bought crap.:smile:

YUP!

YAY! I pass!!!
