I have been wondering this exact same thing. Maybe someone can explain. How, with a program like insanity, do people lose a ton of inches but end up basically staying the same weight, if they are eating at a calorie deficit? Are they building muscle? Based on the above I would say not... but they are clearly losing fat and…

Thank you! Only other question... how do I get the bar higher so that I can have a better starting position?

Bump. Super interested in this thread. I am planning on starting Stronglifts 5x5 shortly.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. The truth of the matter is you did what was best for you and for your child who might have suffered a host of complications had you continued on. I think that the fact that you persevered and were able to run and exercise in the wake of such sadness is amazing. I personally know that I…

Reviving this because I am currently looking for a strength video to do at home that is under 1hr. I have been doing p90x but we moved and my pull up bar no longer fits on the doors, and the doors wont shut with the bands so I need an alternative using just weights. I dont want cardio - I have insanity. Any…

Thanks! I use 3lb, 5lb, and 8lb weights depending on the exercise. In the beginning it was mostly 3lbs with 5lbs mixed in, and then it became 5lbs with 8lbs. I'm stalking craigslist for those expensive adjustable weights that go up to 52lbs because I plan on doing NROL4W at some point in time in the future.

I don't know how to remove that URL bit without screwing up the images so I apologize for that - and the fact that they are huge! GROSS!

I started with 3... then I added 5lbs in there.. and now I mostly use 5lbs and add in 8 lbs for some exercises.

You guys I was sooo sore after the first few days of 30DS that I honestly contemplated whether or not it was something I could do. I think I did 3 or 4 days and then I took a day off, which REALLY helped. I also bought a huge think of epsom salts and wrapped my knees with hot compresses soaked in epsom - it was amazing.…

We all love purple! Mine are going to be in lavender long sweetheart neckline chiffon dresses. No if's ands or buts!

Thanks for the replies guys! I'm super interested in Body Revolution and Chalean Extreme... but I don't know enough about either to spend the big bucks on them. I've read that Body Revolution is too easy for those that have done 30 DS and RI 30... has anyone done it after doing these videos? I'd love to hear more about…

I see Berners!!! I love my Berner... literally the best dogs in the whole wide world. Keep up the great work! You look awesome!

That's great! I'm 5'1ish and hoping to be a size 6 street size when I go dress shopping - don't know what that means in wedding dress sizes, but I think I'm going to go to some consignment shops and buy my dress preowned. Maybe I can find a shorty with a similar body as mine and I won't have to do any alterations!

I started swimming a few years ago because I had sme stress fractures from attempting C25k... and you know what? MY SHOULDER DEVELOPED TENDONITIS! No joke... it was an old tennis injury from college, but swimming made it flare right up. I'm so broken. Lol. This is why the elliptical and I need to learn to be good friends.

Hey Ladies! I'm doing the 30 day shred currently. I have 13 months until my wedding so I'm really hoping for some good results between now and then. I honestly want to completely change my body. I've seen people do it on MFP before so I think its doable. My knee is a little iffy but I purchased an elliptical machine off…

Hey guys! I'm Caroline. I've been engaged for like 10 days! We are getting married in May 2014. I'm currently 5'1 and 3/4 and I50lbs. I want to be a size 2-4 for the wedding. I'm hoping MFP plus Jillian Michaels will help me get there! Feel free to add me as a friend!

Hey guys! I am recently engaged! We are planning on a May 25, 2014 wedding. I am currently around 150 (+ or - 5lbs) and I would like to be a size 2-4 for the wedding. I am currently doing the 30-day shred and after that I plan on doing Ripped in 30 and then maybe a second attempt at Insanity. I just really want to have…

Amazing! You can really see it in your stomach/hips area!!! I'm on L2 D4 tomorrow and I can't wait to be finished! I don't feel like I look any different though :( I did take before pics so i guess we'll see!

Those are GREAT results.

Congratulations on your weight loss! I've read some of the other posts trying to see if anyone has said what i am about to say, and I didn't see it when I skimmed, if someone did say this, than I apologize. I think that you look fantastic, and as a person who is only 5'2 I can say that my personal goal weight is 123 or a…

I live in DC - feel free to add me!

OMG AMAZING. So inspiring.
