I'm on my second week of INSANITY. Love the challenging workouts and will have to say that looking at Shaun T is definitely a great way to stay motivated!

I agree as well... Have you sat down to talk to him about the reasons he feels so strongly about you losing weight? Have you explained to him that you are doing this to be healthier and that you will not just let your self waste away? Is he worried about your health? there has been quite a bit of reporting on eating…

I think you should do what feels right to you. Everyone takes a different approach to keep motivated and if you feel that redoing the week will just discourage you, then just keep going! If you would be more comfortable redoing the whole week then go ahead... if you have to skip one day because life got in the way of your…

After reading all the posts I really want to get it!! Great job everyone. So awesome that you have eachother to keep you motivated through the program. I'm doing insanity right now and was thinking to do P90X next... now I can't wait!

I drink lots of flavored fluids! VERY cold unsweetened teas (drop a tasty tea bag in a glass of water to flavor it and then add tons of ice) I also have rose water and orange blossom water to add a few drops to a tall glass and some artificial sweetener... Drink emergen-C raspberry (somhow the fizzies make me feel like I'm…

This is my recipe for fruit salad: Honey greek yogurt. (you can use any other yogurt flavor that you like. I just love the honey yogurt) fruit cut up into bite size chunks. I use bananas, apples, grapes and strawberries. Mix it all together and it is ready to serve. No need for any sweetener since the fruit cut up will add…

When I want a chocolate fix: 1 cup skim milk 1/8 cup all bran cereal 1 Tablespoon whey protein (chocolate flavored) 1/2 Tablespoon unsweetened hershey's cocoa powder 1 Tablespoon peanut butter vanilla cinnamon sweetener as desired a few ice cubes optional. This is my base chocolate shake. I play around with the…

I'm doing the Insanity 60 day program by beachbody and it works out really well in my small space. I actually work out in the space between the foot of my bed and the TV (about a 5' x 8' space).

Today I did not pack a lunch so I had a subway sandwich instead. My sodium intake is usually in the green and today I was so over the red it wasn't funny... but... I cannot think of another cheap and fast alternative... could you post the link to the calorie counter you found? I really doubt I'll be abandoning subway but…

Don't think I'm crazy but... when I'm craving chocolate big time I take a couple of high fiber crakers and about 10 or so chocolate chips. I then take a bite of the craker and add one or two chocolate chips to chew with it. Somehow this tricks my cravings into thinking I'm eating this huge chocolate bar (I like the crunchy…

Tomorrow is my rest day... I'm going jumping for an hour... for fun at a trampoline park and it should help burn a bit of calories while having a blast! I think of my rest day as a way to give my body a break from the heavy workouts and also to give my mind a break but still try to find a way to stay active and not just…

Good eats!!! Tonight it's my french bread loaf and cheese Friday!!! You should definitelly allow your self a treat every now and then... it's when we have "apple fritter every days " that we get in trouble. Enjoy!

Another thing to keep in mind is that as you exercise your muscle mass also increases so maybe you are not seeing the number drop fast enough because as fat is being lost it is also replaced by lean muscle! I have one of those scales that gives you your weight and percentage body fat and I can tell you that the in the…

This is also my strategy and it works nicely for me. I usually use the time that I am sitting infront of the tv relaxing at the end of the day (after working out) to sit and plan my meals for the next day. I will sometimes also leave my meals packaged or ingredients ready if I am cooking. Doing the prep work at night while…

yes, truvia is the name of the little packages of stevia... They are usually the green or white and green packets.

I use stevia. my mother who is diabetic uses it too, she is the one who first told me about it years ago because I am sensitive to artificial sweetners. It is now available in single serving packages like other sweeteners. If you dont get the pre packaged one, just be VERY careful how much of it you put in your coffee. A…

Great job!!!!

I think most of us have done something like that at one point or another... One thing I have learned is that the guilt trip I put my self through can easily discourage me from getting back on track. Just keep in mind that old habits are hard to break and remember to forgive your self! One trick I have discovered when the…
