  • I'm 23, feel free to add me!
  • Every morning I wake up, use the restroom, and get naked. Then I weight myself and log it in an app called "WeightRecord." I find mornings to be the most accurate time because they aren't skewed by dinner or other variables. Studies show that people who weigh themselves daily tend to lose weight more successfully than…
  • I weight myself every day. I started out at 190 with a goal of 185. Once I reached 185 i set my goal to 180. Once I reached 180 I set my goal to 175. I use the app "WeightRecord" and it is very easy to use and has useful features. I log my weight into MFP once a week. Tracking your weight every day will help you lose…
  • I have thought about that as well. While I have no weight training experience, I think that it is something to consider once I complete Insanity. I want to get my body toned up and in an overall healthy and above average fitness level, then expand to more strength training. My school does offer fitness classes and my…
  • Thanks for sharing your experiences! I do something similar, every night I write down 3 - 5 things I must do the next day. The list includes working out, reading, work, and other tasks.

They make a…
  • By the way, kickass job dropping 193 pounds!! That is awesome, keep at it!
  • Good point. "Your health is your wealth," as they say. I've done a few morning runs and found myself quite exhausted for most of the day afterwards. However, if I would have stuck with it for a couple weeks and allowed my body time to adjust it would be great to have that out of the way early, before the craziness of the…
  • Sounds like you may have found a great motivator! Whether it is a good thing or bad thing, peer pressure motivates people like few other things on this Earth. I know my friends helped me get it in gear and rolling. Feel free to add me! The more people watching you and supporting you, the more likely you'll get your desired…
  • Congratulations! Any friends/relatives don't like it, tell them it's your wedding and they can go all out on theirs if they wish. However, with a wedding comes a generous portion of wedding gifts. A small gathering (reception if you will) will save you the stress of a wedding, while giving you and your friends and family a…
