Polar FT4 - simple - easy to use and can find them for around $50-60 - http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/ GREAT website!!!

I love it too! I don't always follow the program day by day like it shows. I kind of go on how I feel because I do several other w.o. I like to keep things mixed up (Running, Turbo Fire, Firm W.O., weights, etc). Insanity is TOUGH - it pushes you to your limit and you'll sweat like crazy - that's why I like to so much!!…

Bump - will be back tomorrow to finish reading cuz I am having the same darn problem

Great Info, 1st time for me too - I am doing Warrior Dash in June - Hasting, MN and then another one in August - MudMan which looks a lot harder than Warrior Dash. Super Excited

this is what I need some days to get me moving when I don't want to!! Some of these are GREAAT!!

I agree eat them - you don't need to eat them all but you should eat some back. It's been working great for me!!

Losing weight is not cheap that's for sure!! Congrats on hitting your goal!! Several of my friends are trying to share some items of clothing - gets to big on one and hands off to another. Works for some things but not all, but it does help the pocketbook.

Yes a HRM is a must!!

Finished my first 5K in April (HUGE accomplishment for me) - and have been addicted to running ever since!! I love it! I have never ever in my life been a runner but I sure do enjoy it now - a great stress reliever!!

You said it all! I love this site too!!

this sounds wonderful and super easy - will definately try it!!

this sound super yummy - thanks for sharing!!

yum - sounds really good! thanks for sharing

I always wondered this too. I usually just add 50 calories to it to be safe and hope I am guessing high.

Keep up the great work!! Your doing awesome and you hit the nail on the head with everything you said!!

Yep this is really good - my neighbor makes is all the time for neighborhood potlucks

I am the same way - I have to wait to have breakfast till I am at work or I am starving all day. On the weekends I eat it later too. Doesn't matter what I eat either - I have tried all kinds of filling things and I am still hungry an hour later.

I get up at 4am M-F and the weekends I am up by 6 or 7 - if I don't I just don't get the time for myself to get my workout in and I get interupted to much. Its not easy believe me and took some getting used to but it works for me. There are times I just can't get up but not very often because I know how hard it till be to…

Good info - thanks for sharing

the above may work for people who work out later in the day - what about the people like me who get up at 4am to workout I don't have an hour before to get a snack

I love all the cauliflower recipes on this site!! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

I LOVE Turbo Jam & Turbo Fire - I have been doing turbo jam for over a year and turbo fire for several months. Turbo fire has similar moves but with higher intensity and more jumping (which can be modified), more intense than Turbo Jam. I think of it as the next level after Turbo Jam. I still use them both and just rotate…

The food calories are very accurate. There is a way to check and add your own foods too. I have never had problem with the food calories. The exerise is not even close for me, every person is so different and varies so much. I went and bought a HRM now I enter my own exercise and calories burned to my account. Best money I…

eat your calories you burn from working out

Insanity is truly brutal - good luck with it. I enjoyed the 1 dvd I borrowed from a friend. Can't wait to order it.

Great info!! I drink tons of water and am still going strong with the workouts even though I am sore. I have been adding in extra stretching time in several times a day when ever I can sneak it in to try to keep everything moving and stretched out . Part of the problem is I sit all day at work and get stiff.

I have been doing Turbo Fire for several months now and love it - I really like Chalene Johnson workouts in general - I mix it up with the Turbo Jam workouts which I have been doing for close to 2 years and still love them - Glad you like it!!

Wow - you look amazing!! Great motivator!! My next investment is to get Insanity

I plan better - if I am going to eat out or have a few beers - I work off the carlories before or after - ALWAYS!!
