I highly recommend anything from Jillian Michaels! 30 Day Shred is a popular program and it gives great results if you stick with it :)

21 and looking for some new friends to keep me motivated as I try to lose weight for my wedding :)

Bump!

I've been struggling a lot with losing weight since this whole challenge has started. In the past few weeks, I've started school again on top of 30 hours of work a week. I'm getting in 3-4 workouts a week which is great, I just struggle with the calories. Stress makes me want to eat like nobody's business! Aug: 183 9/5:…

Hope this helps me stay accountable! Name: Nicci93 SW: 176.6 ...up from my ticker.. sad day :( Goal by Xmas: 155 BMI: 28.5

How much are you eating? How long are you sleeping each night? Whenever I struggled from exhaustion during this program, I looked at what I was eating first. You are burning a ridiculous about of calories, so you need to be eating more than MFP might recommend. I try to net around 1800 (still less than Shaun T. wants me to…

So I'm in the middle of the first week of Month 2 and I've gone up close to 7 pounds. I haven't been clean with my diet AT ALL this week, but 7 pounds? At the end of the recovery week I finally lost my first 2 pounds, so its really discouraging gaining them back plus more. My stomach actually looks more bloated, and my…

I'll join :)

After a month of gain and maintenance on Month 1 of Insanity, I lose 2 pounds after the recovery week :D Hope I can make it to…

I'm actually in the middle of Insanity right now :) I start Month 2 on Monday! I didn't see massive results from Month 1, but I know I've gotten stronger. I couldn't make it through the warmup without needing breaks, and by the end of the first month I could go through the entire warmup without stopping for water :) If you…

Have you tried anything by Jillian Michaels? I love No More Trouble Zones, Kickbox Fastfix, and Boost Fat Blast Metabolism. She has DVDs for every level of fitness IMO

Do you have a toaster? English muffins with peanut butter and bananas are tasty (and you can eat it on the way to work!). I also love yogurt and fruit in the mornings which involves zero cooking which is nice :)

I want to be in the 140s by the new year (26 pounds!) so I would love to support and be supported :) Feel free to add me!

@shakemybooty It's funny that you say you hated Tanya! My workout buddy and I HATE her. Every time we curse at her to make ourselves feel better... I'm gonna have to look her up now! To the OP, Insanity is rough. And you probably won't even see results until Month 2. This is my second time doing the program and I've gained…

You look great!! How many calories were you eating approximately? Did you follow a meal plan?

Bump to read later!

I am hopping into this a week late... but I'm hoping I can still drop 5 pounds in the remaining four weeks! SW: 185 CW: 175 GW: 135 Weigh in Dates: 6/07 Sat: 175 lbs 6/14 Sat: 6/21 Sat: 6/28 Sat: End of Month (6/30 Mon): Total weight lost: 0

I actually just bought the DVD and was going to try it... I'll let you know my results!

I'd be happy to lose 10 by June 30 :) But I like the idea of aiming high! Add me!

There isn't, unfortunately. Like all of the exercises on this site, they are estimates of the average burn a user might have. Calories burn depends on the weight, height, and physical fitness of a person (if someone is more fit, their heart rate will not increase as high so they don't burn as many calories). The only way…

I am going to purchase the Insanity program - I need something new to jumpstart my weight loss

I feel so guilty... I got so hung up on my boyfriend being here (he's in the army... I don't see him often) that I didn't do days 18-21. I did work out yesterday though, and I intend to work out tonight after we get back from a movie.

My calorie burn is also starting to decrease... and I'm not muscle sore afterwards so it doesn't feel as effective but I think thats just the crazy talking. My one concern with the surrenders... my wrist and elbows hurt not my shoulders O.o

Jen, I know what you mean! When I do one of these workout tapes with a program I can usually stick with it. When I get to choose my own plan I make lots of excuses... I want to get back into running though, so I am for sure going to start C25k :) And my school's rec center has some free fitness classes... I really enjoyed…

I never want to do a lunge again my goodness :angry: of all the moves to repeat in both DVDs we had to have every variation of a side, forward, backward, flippy lunge possible. Well I am proud I got through it and looking forward to just one workout tomorrow.

When I get home tonight, I am going to take half-way through measurements :) I stepped on the scale again today (weighed in yesterday cause I knew I wouldn't eat healthy yesterday) and I lost some more... hopefully that weight stays off for next weigh in so I can have a massive number! Anyway, not looking forward to how…

Hi Caroline :) I own the NMTZ dvd (actually did it this morning coincidence haha) but I've never done it for more than a couple days a week. Like any of her DVDs though, it will give you results. It is mostly strength training, but it gets my heart rate pretty high (average 160s). I wear a heart rate monitor and I burn a…

Done :) If can can get past circuit 5 I can finish it with plenty of motivation... I hit my slump around then though so its really hard! I'm so happy though that I don't have to sweat again until Monday :laugh:
