Beeps - you're an inspiration to us all! Honestly, I wasn't doing any lifting until after reading several of your posts over many weeks. Now, I go at least 3 times a week, usually 4, and get in a solid 60 minutes of lifting. Surprisingly, (although it shouldn't have been a surprise at all) I was still losing weight. I no…

Well....under the topic of "Act your Age" I now have a pulled hamstring after a session of Fathers versus Sons whiffle ball in my backyard last night. Never pulled a hamstring before...any advise for a speedy recovery? Any thoughts on exercises that will keep me active so I don't lose what I've gained so far? I don't think…

Ok....in the spirit of accountability, I'm posting two photos...if I do i right. :smile: This is from March of this year. This is from last weekend, July 2013. Eating smarter, Insanity, and some weight lifting.

Give Insanity a good effort. I have gotten through the first 6 weeks and have seen dramatic improvement in my cardio capacity, I feel stronger (I couldn't do the 20 or 30 pushups in the first weeks exercises and last week I figured I did almost 80 in one workout!) I agree with sdereski, it's hard on your joints...I tend to…

mrszee1 - no one is out of anyone's league here! I started by just using MFP to watch my calories in/out. Changing those eating habits allowed me to drop 5 pounds very quickly. Then I started just walking everyday....dropped a few more. After I felt better about myself and saw progress, I adding riding my bike to work.…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! I'm excited to report that I met two major milestones today....1) I weighed in at less than 170 lbs for the first time since....crap...the '90's? and 2) I got into that lone pair of jeans that have been at the bottom of the stack because they were an inch smaller than all the others! I want to…

Hey Everyone. I've been MIA for a while and thought I'd check in. Had a great week of vacation last week. Spent it with friend and family at a cabin on a lake. Lots of fun in the sun! I figured I'd gain 5 pounds with all of food (ribs, salmon, burgers, and a turkey all cooked on a Big Green Egg) and plenty of Summer…

Progress report....I made it through the two weeks of being on the road and continuing the Insanity workouts. Monday was Fit Test day and frankly...I KILLED IT! I improved on all 8 of the tests over the first time I took it two weeks ago. My daughter came down to see what I was doing and counted the reps for me. I was…

Just wanted to report back to ya'll....a form of accountability for myself. I had my week in Vegas last week and I'm proud to report that not only did I manage to keep within my calorie intake and did NOT get out of hand with the free drinks, I started INSANITY on the Monday I showed up and kept to the schedule all week. I…

Beeps - Enjoy Vegas this weekend....don't use up all of the fun while you're there....I arrive on Sunday afternoon! After about a week or two of not moving the needle, despite hitting my calorie goals and exercise goals, the needle has started moving left again! Dropped a couple pounds the past few days. 6 since joining…

Thank you for the recommendation! I'm going to check into that right away today!

Any work travelers out there? I have 2 weeks where I'll be in Vegas and California. I've gotten into a pretty good routine at home the past 4 weeks and I'm afraid I'm going take a number of steps backwards. Too many free cocktails and there are always too many sweets at these conferences. Then there are those big team…

Lousy weather, rain and more rain. Haven't been able to ride my bike to work for over a week now. Very disappointed...and dropping 2 lbs a week has come to a halt. With the holiday weekend coming, i'm afraid all of the cookouts, hamburgers, brats, beer...will cause me to take a step backwards. Here's to will power!

Newbie here as well. Just joined a few weeks ago and really like reading the posts and seeing the support out there. I'm 43, and when I get asked what I do for a living, I tell them "sit on my *kitten*" since that's pretty much what the job entails. It's caught up with me and when I saw 195 on the scale (I'm 5'8") I…
