Put Ryan as my coach, of course.

Thanks. Just did the sign up for the Team Beachbody Free account and went through the set up for the free account. :smile:

Did the test Saturday. My 13 year old daughter did it with me and is going to try doing the program with me (hey, as long as she is doing it even partly at least she is moving) but it means screwing up my workout schedules so it will be evenings insted of mornings and she is gung ho so we are doing day 2 tonight. Fit test…

Couldn't wait and took the Fit Test today. Wow. It was challenging. Dripping sweat by the end. Some of the moves, okay most of the moves, I hadn't done before, so that threw me a little. Felt great. Switch Kicks: 68 Power Jacks: 45 Power Knees: 60 Power Jumps: 29 Globe Jumps: 6 Suicide Jumps: 15 Push-up Jacks: 20 Low Plank…

Respectfully disagree. Dead is worse. Agree with others that if parent left kids in the car when they were at the gym they have done it and will do it elsewhere. OP: Please keep an eye out for that car in the gym lot in the future and give yourself a major pat on the back for getting involved when 20 minutes worth of…

Real answer is to get a heart rate monitor or fitbit and track what you actually burn each day since everything else is estimating. I go with estimating personally so I do not mean that in a snobby way at all. If you go back into your profile why don't you try resetting it as sedentary and log the 5 miles as exercise just…

You know you're serious when your last name is Black and your best friend is a 13 year old wizard with a scar on his forehead.

Love this thread. Thanks for posting it. I never thought I would be or was one until I read your post and thought damn! I guess I am too. I love feeling alive, fit and capable. Playing organized soccer for the first time at 50 years old (okay it's called Geezer Kickers and is an over 30 years old league but 75% of the…

I just got Insanity as a gift. No idea where it was ordered from. I am starting June 4 (I want my off day to be Monday not Sunday). 1. I usually workout at home barefoot. That okay or should I be wearing sneakers for these workouts? 2. Does the program include a warm-up or just launch right in assuming you have warmed up…

My Insanity discs arrived today and I was planning on doing the Fit Test and the intro disc this weekend and starting Day 2 the workouts on Wednesday June 5. I want Mondays as my rest day not Sundays do to work schedule and having more time for workouts on weekends. If its cool that I will be 1 day out of sync with the…

Great post. I have it goal weight and am worried about gaining too. I upped my calories from what is need to lose 1 pound per week to 0.5 pounds per week and am trying to eat a little over that but am nervous about going up. Have you checked your various non-weight measures; BMI and muscle to fat ratio or talked to your…

MayraH26: I like your toughness and attitude.

My daughter wants to lose too much weight too fast. I am encouraging her to increase her exercise and we worked on her MFP goals together to st them at healthier amounts. She is going out running this morning and I am so proud of her. I am sorry your parents are not being supportive. This is something you need to do for…

Guys perspective: we want fun, easy going, toned. Butt size - eh. Whatever cup size - fine. That's the picky guys. Most of us - show up naked with beer and we are good. :smile: :drinker:

A few things that work for me: Somewhat higher in calories, but then you could have a lighter lunch: yogurt with nuts - about 200 calories and very filling. apples, bananas, too make them more filling, but then that ups the calories count - spread on a tablespoon of peanut butter. I agree with stay away from the "health…

Hook up or maybe even very short term date? yes. serious re;ationship? No way. I would be bored/frustrated with conversation and activities within days. You need someone who you can stand to be with the 22 hours a day you are not having sex. :devil:

I have issues with those too and eat a banana almost every morning before my morning workout. Easy on the stomach pre-work and high potassium for the leg cramps (which have decreased significantly over time with the banana eating). Good to know it has all those other benefits too. Thanks alipene.

There are other exercises besides walking. Maybe look into yoga - home program, adult school at a local high school, yoga center, exercise channel on tv, video from the library. The scientific 7 minute workout. stationary bike. Many others that may be lower impact on your legs. You might also consider breaking the walking…

Skip the noodles and rice. Stick with vegetables and meat/fish/shrimp or tofu (they usually have it even if it isn't on the menu). Bring a lot home. Do some extra exercise today and tomorrow. Eat lighter rest of today and tomorrow to even out the calorie splurge. Finally, relax and live a little. It is a party.

Eating potatoes could kill me. No, seriously. I'm allergic. You cannot imagine how many packaged, canned, and frozen foods and bread products get potato starch added to them.

120 days, but I don't think you want me as a friend unless you don't mind hearing about how dangerously low your daily net calories are and how unhealthy that is. Of course if you want someone to call you on that kind of stuff (and you will push me the saame way)and encourage you to eat healthy and hit your calorie goal…

Nice comma placement.

correction "rockin"

LOL jzaliza is a rickin' dude.

I have been wondering too.
