Fish... unless it's battered beyond recognition, i'm not touching it! OR if i'm starving, and it's the only option (been there once...) And to answer some of your questions: 3.) Hummus - what is this stuff? What do you eat it with? Do you make it, or buy it? 4.) Avacados - Not sure why, but I just CAN'T do this. And again…

I'M IN!!! I need some motivation to get started! So, today's the day! I have been slacking lately, and tried to start it a week ago... did 2 days, and stopped. This will be my 2nd time through it, so I'm using weights (or heavier weights) this time around! Feel free to add me, and we can motivate each other! :) Good luck…

my house is definitely the most expensive, by far! i actually cried while signing all the papers with the builder... and that was even before having to put the "REAL" down payment down. just a security deposit. lol i like the thought of diamond earrings... have been hinting to my boyfriend for 2 years that i'd like diamond…

You'll be fine! Sounds like you have the right attitude going into it! Just be aware... you will overeat. BUT the great things is it is only temporary!!! Any weight gain you see when you get back will be mostly water weight from the salty sea air, extra desserts and salty foods (and possibly alcoholic bevvies) that you…

I actually looked it up online before easter this year. Was very helpful and the eggs came out better than ever! Google it! seriously. :)

I work for a pork company... and we're definitely seeing some hard times! :(

I made the pumpkin nut muffin recipe from skinnytaste.com the other day - but made it in loaf pans instead. FANTASTIC!!! if you like pumpkin pie you'll love it!

I love hearing these kind of goals! I'm not a smoker and haven't ever been, but I am unbelievably proud of my boyfriend who has not smoked in almost 2.5 years! Take it one day at a time... and just understand that it's similar to the healthy eating/diet lifestyle, in that you will have cravings, and maybe even slip ups,…

when i first started on the healthy eating track i actually downloaded an app that gave free meal plans of varying types of preferences. I believe on my android phone it was called DietPoint, and it's free. if you pay for it then you get "bonus" meal plans, but i found there was enough variety in the free stuff that there…

My suggestions would definitely be to buy several containers (maybe even colour coded for each day of the week so you just pick up the pink ones on monday, blue tuesday etc...). Weighing the cottage cheese/yogurt/dips whatever ahead of time will not affect the goodness of it. And seeing as those things keep in the fridge…

As someone who just recently completed the Insanity program, I can tell you that it doesn't get much easier, but holy moly does it ever make you feel good after each brutal workout! The thing I'd really like to stress is that you should try to follow the nutrition plan. After completing the program I was disappointed that…

I used to feel guilty going over my calories (which is 1300 or so i think) so i would just not clickk that "Finished" button after entering my stuff if i saw RED numbers on the calories column. I don't think any of my MFP friends would mock or judge if it didn't say "... and stayed under her calories" in my profile. So now…

When i did 30DS i JUST did that because of time constraints, and tracked calories... I had great results with it and noticed a big difference at the end of 30 days. But certainly if you have time to fit in something else with it, then go for it. Or i know some people do the 30DS every other day and do something else in…

bump! will have to try this!!!

ooh! now THAT'S a keeper for sure! will have to try this out on my next tex-mex night! :)

way to go on completing the program!!! you have had some seriously amazing results! :) i hope round 2 brings you even more great results. :drinker:

Hi, I also did Insanity, and actually my measurements are quite similar to yours in all areas (except weight, i'm about 157). I also found that my results were a little disappointing in that I literally saw no weight loss, and no change in measurements. I did every workout (except 1 fit test when i was sick), and my eating…

Are you doing anything differently this time around? More weight? High impact vs. low impact last time? Just curious. I also starting with 30DS and had great results with it... and I may consider revisiting it since the length of workout is much easier to fit into my "back to school" schedule.

my friend just named her daughter Annabelle... i thought its the most adorable thing ever! Lots of options for short forms too - Anne, Anna, Annie (which i also love!), Bella...

you're welcome! I have plenty of crockpot recipes that i make on a regular basis... that's just the one i have made for this week so it was easy to remember off the top of my head. hope you enjoy it!

latest favourite of mine: Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore 4 or 5 chicken breasts (or a mix of breasts and thighs if you like) salt and pepper to taste 1 cup button mushrooms 1 cup each sliced red and/or yellow and/or green peppers 1 medium onion cut into wedges 2 cloves garlic, crushed or diced 1 can italian herb diced…

bump!

i didn't find that my abs got much of a workout during Insanity (I finished the full program last weekend). If I were to do it over again, I'd probably try to fit 2-3 ab workouts into the week. there's an Insanity ab that you do once a week, but I'm not a fan of Shaun T's ab stuff, so I would suggest P90X Ab Ripper if you…

YUM! I've never made my own granola before, its usually so high cal, but this recipe sounds like a winner! Will be testing this out for sure. :) Thanks!

question for you adjoa84: were you following the Insanity nutrition guide to a "T"? or did you just follow the MFP guidelines set up for you? I just found that there was so much of a discrepancy between the recommendations for calorie intake that I think i usually fell somewhere in between the 2. And truthfully I doubt I…

I just posted a similar response in another forum, but wanted to repeat it here: I just finished the whole 63-day program this past Saturday. And although I know my stamina has improved, I saw absolutely no results in inches or weight loss. And I would attribute that to my poor eating. Not that I was eating anything…

I finished the program this past Saturday! I wasn't terribly pleased with my results though... I think it had everything to do with my eating habits. I was testing out the premise of eating more to lose... I really don't think that works for me. I am thinking about redoing the second month to see if I can improve my…

You can most likely return it if it does not meet your expectations or standards. Check with the seller, and see if that's an option. And if the fabric you want is something particular, then why not ask them if you can provide the fabric and they make it for you? I'm not sure if that's as common, but might also keep your…

oh yes!!! what @wareagle said... the cellulite in my legs/butt is darn near gone! this was a combined effort of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and then Insanity. Thank you to both. :flowerforyou:

@irishman - I can't even imagine something HARDER than Insanity!!! That being said, i'm in my final week of it... and sadly, have lost no pounds or inches. I feel great doing the workouts... but the results were a little discouraging after working my @ss off (or so I thought). I was hoping to see a few inches come off the…
