Do you do the plank work on a hard surface, I find using a good yoga mat helps me

Last week, but in my defense it was from a shop where all the candies and such are made from scratch. Who doesn't love homemade chocolate turtles. I say I eat something sweet once a week, but I steer away from store bought candy. =]

Hanging up the posters that come with the dvd or making your own. I made a giant calendar out of poster board and would cross of the days I did. It works for me cause I would have to walk by it and see I needed to get it done, I also just had to get the mind set that its just a 30 or so minutes of my time to just get it…

I have a question, I tried going from 45 to and hour a day of good cardio/plyo to and an almost 2 hours. Here lies my problem I can barely move my legs when I wake up, its my quads. It feels like i have a constant charlie horse. I drink at least 2qts water, not including coffee and unscented tea. I stretch. I am at a loss…

Sydney! =] 27 years old I have a 2.5 year old and a 4 year old! I use insanity and asylum 1&2 I also hit the gym 3 hours every saturday lifting goals..muscle i want muscle ... to be ripped would be my dream

My why, honestly with no sugar coating, is my fear of being "fat." Face it will live in a vision world, Facebook, instagram, twitter ... extra.. People taking photos now all the time. There is no hiding from yourself. Also I think there is a bad stigma with a woman being over weight. Being judged for something before…

I love these videos, they let you make them as difficult as needed. There is lots of weights in these videos. The speed and agility one about kills me if you go as hard as you can.

Sometimes I don't see any results but others do. I have start doing body measurements, it can really tell you were you are losing inches. Something I do for cardio and abs is dance. Belly dance or bollywood dancing is all in the core. I found a few videos and even some on youtube. Just keep up the good work. It might take…

DIet Soda. Fake sugar.. so bad for you!

Here we go! So excited! =] I hope my numbers improve!

I hate the get shredded meal plan just for the fact that there is no room for quick meals. I try and follow the several small meals.

Hey I am Sydney! This is my 2nd time through Asylum. I didn't 4 rounds of Insanity and saw great results. Excited to get started, and have a group to complain about doing these workouts with!

Dont ever be disappointed in yourself, we all have struggles and we all have days or weeks or even months we "fall of the wagon." You can do whatever you set you mind to. Make eating and working out fun. I love walking my dogs or taking my kids on a bike ride. I go to the out door mall and walk laps with my friends. It…

Just throwing this out there if you are only eating a 1000 calories and not feeling hungry are you sure you are counting your calories correctly? Its an easy mistake when it comes to potion size if you are like I had a 1/2 cup of cereal for 140 calories when in reality you at a cup and a half.

I completely understand weight limits for football, my 9 year old step son tops the scale at 65lbs. He is small, where as my 4 year old is already 47lbs at 42 inches tall. Kids are different sizes. If a kid eats healthy and is active thats all you can do. Now if there is some room for improvement, like no soda healthier…

I am a stay at home mom with two toddlers, I don't have time to go to the gym. I have the Insanity, Asylum, and a yoga dvd set. It is really nice because I have not excuse. I do it in the privacy of my living room. It is a great way to start. I also go running/walking. where I live there are classes that you can sign up…

Elsa from frozen!!! Making my own custom, my kids will love it. Any reason to be a princess. =] Then for another party I am going a Blanche from the golden girls or Regina George from mean girls.. haven't decided.

Thats some awesome advice. I live by a 90/10 diet, and a 80/20 diet for my kids. Its ok to have those foods. I like MFP because it also track proteins, sugars, and sodium. If you aren't eating a ton of sugar that you are doing just fine. Now this is my advice, try new foods aka fruits and see what you like. There is no…

I had such a busy night/afternoon that I didn't even get a chance to put all my calories in. I was probably over a bit. I am trying to not let that happen. =] Getting my treat food, Wild Cherry Pepsi flipping made with real sugar.. mmmm soda. I have stopped eating/drinking high fructose corn syrup. So this is like a huge…

hey there!! 1. how i answer the binge.. oh i was bad when I was a teenager I wouldn't eat for a day then honestly eat 3000 or more calories in like 2 or 3 hours. I couldnt control my eating. I have found other foods I like that are healthier. Also I mark on my calendar a cheat food. NOT A CHEAT DAY. I get one food as much…

Staying motivated is one of the hardest parts. Feel free to add =]

I am a stay at home mom with two toddlers and I have them on a healthy diet. It took work! feel free to add. =]

I havent triedn T25. I like asylum and insanity really well. super nice to have when you can't make it to the gym. Plus the kids like to try and do the moves with me. makes it easy as a mom to work out. Ate pretty well today. I have to go out for pizza tomorrow with my kids.. its open house for my sons pre kindergarten. so…

Have you tried water aerobics? Also sitting in a supportive chair and using hand weights is beneficial, muscle burns fat. I completely understand. Losing weight is hard enough, and can be a life time battle. It is about finding how to eat healthy and what works for you. I don't like low carb diets, because once you start…

So true, Fat isn't bad, Carbs aren't bad, Sugars aren't bad its the quality and quantity that makes them not as healthy. I live by a few simple eating rules. No fake sugar nothing with more than 4 or 5 ingredients on the package. color plates

Thats the only way to do it and make it stick!! Best of luck!!

1. I hate losing weight and you feel good but NO ONE notices. It feels all for not. 2. Still having the one pair of jeans that doesn't button 3. Having to say no to seconds, wine, dessert, appetizers, etc.. when out with friends 4. I coach high school boys aau basketball so I am surrounded by people eating what ever they…

Hey!! You can call me Sydney! My starting weight is 144. My goal weight is 114 ... Here we go. I have an army family christmas dinner party that I would love to wear something really nice in!

Hey All! I completely understand having a few drinks, they add up so fast calorie wise. I also feel like I eat more when I drink. Its a lose lose situation. I did ok yesterday til like 8 pm when I have a snack bag of peanuts. Didn't need those calorie. But on track today. I found my biggest problem is when I have to eat…

UGH fridays are my worst days. I have to be up super early. So I eat two breakfasts or two lunches. My mom made me no bake cookies, my favorite. I hope to get back on track tomorrow. I need to get my workout in, but this rain is making it hard. 5 miles in the rain. doesn't sound fun! @jafray4 I completely stayed away from…
