Ok...the shorts.....I bought those when I was doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu...size 40 . I don't have the time for BJJ anymore (sadly, as I truly loved it) so I figured I'd get use of the shorts now! I am a size 34 now - you can't tell from the pictures, but they are now overly baggy. So they are going. But for picture…

Please post up the recipe for the homemade protein bars!!!!!

I have used the free version on bike rides and walks. I don't use it for the calories burned, as it's always way off, however I do use it to track the info from my ride (speeds, distance, route etc...) For free, it's definitley worth it. I actually went and downloaded the Pro version before I replied to you!!! Thanks for…

It would just be my luck. I'm having a rather unlucky stretch...so it's just the way it would go...lol Although, I did get to do all 9 weeks only missing 1 workout. Can't believe I made it through the entire 9 weeks. Fit Test tomorrow!!!!! Then what the hell am I gonna do?????? lol Also the form states that ALL fields must…

Wish I could afford it....just not now.....oh well! Lol

road2peachtree....you still have 2 more days!!!!! lol Don't forget the Fit Test on Sunday!! ALthough in comparison, that's nothing compared to the workouts.....I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY T-SHIRT!!!!!! If I don;t get one, I'm gonna be pissed!!!! lol

Seriously????? We're here to help each other, so you can keep the sarcasm!!!! There's no need to be obnoxious about the information and help you provide.... I am 3 days away from completing Insanity. I have lost over 20 pounds, but I have alot to lose. In allhonesty, if you only have 15-20 pounds left to lose, you may only…

I was out of it today...think missing my morning cup of coffee threw me off. That, or i'm just friggin exhausted!!!! Anyway, had a good burn, and my carpet was soaked.....however, i felt like I half-assed most of the DVD. 4 days left....4 days left...and just for the record, I don;t have insane Abs :laugh: I have an older…

Pulled this off a site that explains all about this herb.....ummmmmmm yeah.... What side effects can this medication cause? Stimulant laxatives may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away: •yellow-brown discoloration of urine •diarrhea •nausea •vomiting •irritation…

The only thing you can use that might even be close would be "Circuit Training- General." I strongly recomend getting a good HRM w/ chest strap if you want to be accurate with your exercise calories. I am in my 9th week of Insanity, and the HRM was a great investment. MFP was under calculating my calories burned…

Laughing my *kitten* off at all the people that believed that nut job!!!!! :laugh: Seriously...he predicted the end in 1994, and when it didn't happen, he said "It was a miscalculation"....now it's today, and when the day finished out and we're all still here, what lame *kitten* excuse will he come up with this time?????…

Week 8 is down in the books- short one DVD. As I said in my last post, I missed out yesterday, so I did Max Cardio Circuit today instead of the Core Cardio & Balance. I figure, if I'm going to miss out on one video in the entire series, that's the one...:laugh: Anyways, that leaves only ONE WEEK LEFT OF INSANITY!!!!!!!!…

So today was a bust. Wasn't able to do Insanity, so instead of the Core & Balance DVD tomorrow, I got the cardio circuit! No worries! I needed the break anyway. One week left!

Non Scale Victory- a victory not based on the numbers of your scale!!! :wink:

One last one- Muscle DOES NOT weigh more than fat. However, you may put on a pound of muscle, faster than you shed the pound of fat. They weigh the same- a pound is a pound. Muscle just grows a little quicker- especially when weight training. Eat all of your calories (as close as you can) and eat back your exercise…

No offense, but do not listen to this advise. If you admit to not knowing his height or weight, why would you give him a 200 calorie goal???? I am not a Dr, or nutritionist. I will tell you a little about me. I'm 6' 225 lbs. I started losing weight at 305. For the past 7 1/2 weeks, I have been doing Insanity- 6 days a…

I looked back over 5 days of your diary, and there were a few days you were way over on your sodium. It could be muscle, it could be something as simple as too much sodium, causing you to retain water. There are alot of factors that go into the gain. I say keep doing your exercises, but watch the sodium.

Road2peachtree- how did you get a week behind me? And if you did your fit test, you would be in week 8 not 7. Check again, I think you might have it wrong. We were in the same week all along. So you should be in week 8 with me.

So here are my new Fit Test Results and Measurements as of 5/16/11. Fitness Test ResultsSwitch Kicks: 57, 64, 66, 62 (dissapointing) Power Jacks: 39, 52, 56, 60 Power knees: 60, 83, 97, 100 Power Jumps: 21, 27, 28, 30 Globe Jumps: 7, 8, 10, 10 (these are hard as hell, so even is ok with me) Suicide Jumps: 12, 15, 17, 18…

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......recovery day. I needed this. Two more weeks...two more weeks.....we can do this! I think its 16 more workouts (reviewing the schedule from memory)...3 days doubles up w/ abs, and the last Fit Test 2 weeks from today.....

To clarify that, go to the Tools page and select BMR. Take that numner, mine is 2019, and divide by 24 (hours in the day) which gives me 84 calories an hour (that my body burns sitting around). So I will use me as you for the moment- if my HRM showed a 1200 calorie burn after 6 hours, I would subtract 505 calories (my BMR…

I will preface this with...I hope I don't offend anyone with this comment...and if I do, I will delete this post...... I don't think Tanya is Shaun T's type, if you get what I mean:laugh:

Awesome job! I'm glad the new diet kick started you again. Keep up the great work! Almost forgot....good lord I need some sunglasses! The glare.......ok I'll stop now....lol. Great job!

I don't know if I would do 2 workout in 1 day. Maybe use yesterday as your off day, and rework the schedule accordingly. Seriously, 2 Insanity workouts in 1 day seems like a bad idea. I like the dedication, just want you to be safe.

Everybody is doing awesome!!! Keep up the great work!!! Day 1 Week 7 in the books. Less than 3 weeks to go...I really want my T-Shirt....have I said that before??????? :bigsmile: Of course, biking 12 miles yesterday (which I would like to mention- I havent biked anywhere in a good 5-6 years!!!!) was not the brightest idea…

Everyone is doing great!!! You all are funny as hell!!! Just finished up Week 6!!! I can't believe there are only 3 more torturous weeks to go....:noway: I am sitting on the couch...a sweaty mess....good lord!!! Never knew i could sweat this much. My shirt is literally drenched!!! My legs are toast as normal...but then…

A reserection of my old thread. I copied all of my NSV's and put them in one post (I wanted to see them together to see what impact it would have on me....I am proud of what I have accomplished. Plus, there are a few updates to some of the NSV's. 1. (Update!!!) Going from a size 40 to a 34 waist pant. (Haven't worn 34…

Great job everybody!!!! It's an inspiration reading all your posts...it helps keep me going!!! So 3 days into Week 6...Max Cardio Conditioning....sweet jesus. I feel like I'm starting all over again. I definitley struggle through. I can't complete most of the exercises. But I know this will get better. I just gotta keep…

My guess....you are putting on Muscle Mass. And not just a little. Do you do measurements? You might be losing inches (and toning your muscle) while shedding fat. But your muscle mass is counter acting the fat loss. I think maybe less weight training, or at the least weight training to tone, not build muscle. You got this.…

Ummm.........wow!!!!! Max Cardio Circuit........yeah.......HOLY ****!!!!!!! (sorry for the language). It was so....painful....yet....satisfying!!! I can't believe it!!! It was extremely hard (not trying to scare anyone). Definitley a step up from Month 1. But it was awesome!!! Scared of tomorrow, but still looking forward…
