You've mentioned that you have tested for thyroid but have you actually asked your GP that you are trying to gain weight but haven't been successful? There can be many other reasons besides thyroid that are causing you not to gain weight i.e. certain bacteria in your colon. On the other hand, not having breakfast regularly…

Invitations sent to all of you... I posted my Day 1 Cardio as Nailed it and felt so lonely... hopefully we can get started and keep eachother motivated!

May I get an invite please?

Invite sent... looking forward to get started!

I'm in too... CW/SW: 132 GW(1/31):125 I plan on doing T25 every morning before work starting tomorrow...

T25! I did Insanity in summer 2015 and lost all of my post-baby weight. Now I've gained it all back and am planning to get back to my ideal weight before Spring 2016!

I got myself a Louis Vuitton bag! :love:

I am doing the 7th week of Insanity and yes, you are not guaranteed to loose weight with this program. I already weighed a healthy weight of 125# at 5'2 when I started insanity but I only challenged myself to do this program to reduce my waist measurement and build endurance. I also weighed myself everyday and calculated…

Actually a day can make a huge difference. Ok, let me rephrase, ONE NIGHT can make a huge difference. If you measure yourself at night all bloated from eating all day before going to bed, and next morning have had a bowel movement and a small breakfast, then you start working out. Of course, you will have a smaller waist.…

Oh my goodness! That is some amazing transformation... you, samurai, you.... Way To Go!!!!

I hate to say this but my OB/Gyn said that you're only suppose to be lifting as much weight as your baby for the first six months after the c-section. Insanity requires push ups and lots of core engaging exercises where you are lifting your own body weight. I am very sorry because I know how discouraging it may seem when…

Great info... thanks for sharing!

*high fives* I am totally rewarding myself with a LV bag too once I tone down to a smaller waist...

Thank you for sharing a picture of Dee Bennett... I actually remember reading about her on GardenWeb last year when I was deciding to plant roses in my backyard. Unfortunately, in our northern climate (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada), the selection is very limited, and my densely shaded backyard doesn't help. On another note, I…

I just did the fit test and was so motivated that I didn't want to stop. So I found one of Shaun T's hip hop abs videos and danced along. Turns out I burned 300 calories in those 35 minutes... :bigsmile:

Invitation sent to everyone starting the Insanity Party today - April 15th 2013. Please message me if you would like to receive an invitation as well. Not being biased or rude but I have made the group private so that we can all start at the same time and motivate each other every two weeks and try and beat our own fit…

How about DUKE!?

5'2 - 125# - Usually wear 4/6/8 depending on the brand.

I just did a trial of JM's 30 day shred for level 1 yesterday with 5# dumbbells and thought it was not as challenging. Man, am I sore this morning. I usually walk 3-4 miles everyday so my legs are not as sore but my arms and lats are burning every time I have to pick my 20# son up. So, either your soreness will show up a…

I've just started a group after looking for one to start on April 1, 2013. Its a public group and I have sent invites to everyone who requested here on this forum, so anyone is free to join. (I hope you guys won't mind getting an invite) The group is called >> Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred April 2013

TMI WARNING!!!! The urinary incontinence that I experienced with sneezing or that one time I tried doing jumping jacks has magically disappeared. When I first experienced it, I just blamed it on the two pregnancies and considered I'd be stuck with this problem forever but after losing just 4# and walking 2-3 miles…

So sorry for your loss.... Old jeans can sometimes be so hard to replace... but then again, there is no price to the joy of buying a new pair of jeans that just fit so well. On another note, CONGRATS......

I like that.. Eating Clean and Training Mean! Am new here too and am just wanting to get rid of the extra weight I've added in the past ten years as I have been too focused on the career and not on my diet!

Hiya.... From Edmonton! Ex-Torontonian...
