You are all soo sweet! Thanks everyone! Living a healthy lifestyle is hard work, but worth every sacrafice.

You look amazing!! Fabulous job!!

My motivation is to not be the person I used to be and to not let the side effects of fertility drugs get the best of me

Thanks for the recomendation!! I'll definitley look into it!!

*Hugs* You are not useless! You are a beautiful person who is surrounded by people who care about you and whom you care about also. The wait for a child is WORTH the frustration of TTC and waiting for adoption. There is a child out there just waiting for you to be their mother - you just have to wait. Waiting stinks, yes -…

Morning all! Does anyone have a recomendation on a good health & fitness book to read? I was looking at getting Kim Lyons: Your Body Your LIfe but I am unable to locate it in my area. Hope you all have a good day - trying to keep hopes up here got AF this morning. :(

Newbie question - What does AFM stand for? It's not listed on last months acrynyms list. My goal for this next week is to workout on three to four days and start getting back on track. We leave for vacation in 2 weeks, so the crap really stop then. I also going to start reading Kim Lyon's Your Body Your Life. Though I've…

Thanks Jalara! I do drink about 3-4 liters of water a day so I'm good with water :) I currently use cetaphil soap, but it's not doing very well. Ahhh well - comes with the territory. About me: I'm 31, married to a wonderful guy and we have a dog named LaKota. We have been TTC since last August and are having no luck. We…

Does anyone have any tips for controlling acne/oil due do my hormones freaking out?

You will love it! I have it and P90 - I prefer insanity over P90. Shawn and the crew have so much energy and I love that it is done in a gymnasium rather then a set. you will not be disappointed!

I'm ready for a new week :)

Thanks Jalara and Kah78! Kah, you're right - I do need to reevalute my expectations. Truely I shouldn't lose any more weight (I'm 5'2" and my current weight is 116). If I lose more weight, I would do more harm in terms of getting pregnant then good. And any form of excersize is good. Even if I walk on the treadmill for an…

Hi all - So glad I found this. My husband and I have been trying to concieve for almost a year now. We done 3 rounds of clomid and 1 hcg injection so far. Hopefully AF will not come next week. I do have a question for you all though. Each month that I do clomid, I get a horrible stomach ache, bloating and the endless need…

I'm pretty sure my settings are correct (if you mean height/weight/etc) I went the band under a faucet everytime I use it and yet, I certianly feel like I am working harder then walking my dog. When doing no more trouble zones, I am drenched in sweat and my heart rate gets up.

Maybe it is! Even when I do her No More Trouble Zones, I only burn 120-150 calories where as everyone else says they burn over 300. Not sure how to detect that it's off - maybe I'll call polar

I did level 1 the other day and my HRM said I burned 89 calories. Not much at all! :(

Strength Training is a workout consisting of weights and working your muscles only. Circuit training involves cardio and strength training.

Most scales are accurate. Weigh yourself at the same time each day to get an average of your weight. When I weigh myself, I do it first thing in the morning - after using the facilities and before I take a drink of water. My weight stays the same. So, if I get on the scale one more and it's higher, I know I put on weight.…

Same here! I despise strength training.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and understanding. It's nice to know I'm not alone in this journey. Best wishes to all

Below is the link to my before / after. I'm 5'2" and started at 200 lbs http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/251645-my-before-after

You will build muscle with Insanity - therefore gain weight but lose fat

I second that!

HELP!! I did level 1 yesterday and using my HRM - I only burned 89 calories. 89 CALORIES!! WTF. When I did NMTZ, I only burned 176 calories. I thought I was giving it my all. Now, I normally don't do weights (I hate them) but I've set myself a goal to tone up and every little bit of weight I do gets me closer to my goal.…

bumin also!!

Engagement photo (taken 3 years ago)

I'm starting today as well

I keep a photo of the old me on my treadmill. I also have the excess skin and streatch marks left over from the old me - one look in the mirror and I'm planning my next workout

You look fabulous!! I'm jealous of your abs!

Thanks everyone! You, also keep up your good work! It does pay off!
